In this episode of The Mets Pod, sponsored by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo discuss the Mets’ decision to put Adam Ottavino back into the bullpen and the conclusion of the offseason.
Connor and Joe begin to realize that the Mets are unlikely to sign a new DH via free agency after taking a look at alternative bullpen pitchers the organization may yet sign.
Before moving down to the farm to explore when offense may arrive to the Mets from players like position prospects Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuna, and Jett Williams, the guys go all in on Mark Vientos receiving a serious look as the designated hitter in 2024.
Lastly, the program opens the Mailbag to discuss potential bounce-back seasons, pitchers who hold runners, increased one-year agreements for relievers, and MLB’s “quiet” summer.
