On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo try to sort through the struggles of the Mets, while looking at some positive developments in the farm system. Connor and Joe recap a tough week that was while Connor was away, including issues on offense and on the mound. The guys also discuss the latest setbacks surrounding Kodai Senga, the development of young starter Christian Scott, the rehab progress of Francisco Alvarez, and go down on the farm for updates on prospects Luisangel Acuna and Brandon Sproat. Later, the show brings back The Scoreboard and opens the Mailbag to tackle questions about Edwin Diaz and the potential of the organization opening a hitting lab to work alongside the pitching lab that recently opened in Port St. Lucie.
