Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo go long on the 2023 MLB Trade Deadline, and recap a major makeover for the New York Mets on the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac. Connor and Joe break down the trades that sent away David Robertson, Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Mark Canha, Tommy Pham, and Dominic Leone, plus drop all kinds of information on the many prospects coming back to the Mets in these deals, such as Luisangel Acuna, Drew Gilbert, Ryan Clifford, Marco Vargas, and more. The guys also field Mailbag questions throughout the show about the future of the organization, the plans for the 2024 team and starting rotation, Pete Alonso’s status with the Mets, when Ronny Mauricio will make his major league debut, and the overall ranking of the Mets farm system following all the new additions.
