Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo take no break during the MLB All-Star Break, and deliver a jam-packed Episode 16 of The Mets Pod! The guys welcome Jon Morosi of NBC Sports and MLB Network to the show, and the crew covers all the ins and outs of the Juan Soto trade speculation, as well as other trade deadline rumors, and the state of the Mets so far in 2022. Later in the show, Connor puts Joe on the spot regarding any potential Mets deal for Juan Soto, and then the guys recap the Home Run Derby and a very active MLB Draft for the Amazins. Finally, Connor and Joe wrap the show with the TMP First Half Awards, as they hand out the hardware for some first half of the season stand outs for the Mets.
