On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo check in on the Juan Soto chase, and answer more questions about the Mets’ offseason. Connor and Joe lead things off with the Soto sweeps and what numbers they think will be involved in initial offers for the superstar, then pivot to pitching by examining how the contract Yusei Kikuchi signed with the Angels could set the market for starting pitchers including Sean Manaea and Luis Severino. The guys also cover the addition of Jose Siri to the Mets outfield, and then dive deep into the Mailbag to answer questions about Pete Alonso, Juan Soto money options, offense from catchers, expectations for Ronny Mauricio, and which homegrown Mets may make the starting lineup in 2025.
