Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo do a deep dive on the young stars of the Mets, as The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac looks north to the future and looks west to the present. Connor and Joe chat with Evan Stockton, play-by-play broadcaster for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets, to get insight from up close on Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez, Ronny Mauricio, Mark Vientos, and more. The guys go long on what these young players have done so far, and what they can do for the Mets in both the short and long term future. The discussion also covers some of the pitchers in Syracuse that could help the Mets this season. Later, Connor and Joe check in on prospects Kevin Parada and Blade Tidwell, recap the Mets big league action from the first part of the west coast trip through Oakland and LA, examine another full turn of the Mets starting rotation, and see positive signs from the team’s offense. Finally, the show wraps with the Mailbag, with questions answered about Brandon Nimmo, Ronny Mauricio, and playing time for Francisco Alvarez.
