On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo wrap a west coast trip and look at hopes for a homestand as the Mets return to Queens. First up, the guys review the struggles on a crazy road trip, while looking ahead to the home games against the A’s, Marlins, and Orioles. Then, they examine the wild status of the NL Wild Card race, before taking a trip Down on the Farm to answer questions about Kevin Parada, prospect ranking methods, and the level of hitting at the Triple-A level. Connor and Joe also do another round of The Scoreboard before diving into the Mailbag to take on queries about a role for Jesse Winker, the “make or break” games that remain on the schedule, and potential Mets news coming from the international free agent market.
