Summary

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.

0:00.0	Well, you know, listen, we're going to find out. It's either yes or no, right? There's no in between, and time will tell.
0:10.2	What's up, everybody? Welcome to the MetsPod presented by TriState Cadillac. Visit your TriState Cadillac dealer today and subscribe to the Mets Pod at Apple Podcast,
0:22.4	Spotify, or wherever you get your pods, if you'd like to drop us a review, drop us a mailbag question
0:28.1	with that review, watch us on YouTube, and also ask mailbag questions in the comments under the show
0:33.2	there as well. I'm your host, Connor Rogers, joined as always by my co-host, Joe DeMeo.
0:38.2	And of course, you heard Steve Cohen at the top. Joe, there's no other way to start off
0:43.4	the show this time of year than to talk about the continued pursuit of Juan Soto.
0:49.5	But besides that and before we get there, how are you doing?
0:53.1	I'm doing all right, Connor. One of my favorite
0:55.6	things is when you have things like this, people ask, what percentage chance do you give this
1:01.9	team? And the way Steve Cohen more or less laid it out is kind of how always look at it. You have

1:26.5	2023. It does not work like that. So I, I thought it was
1:30.3	honestly the perfect answer. I mean, reading the tea leaves, it's, is he going to take our very,
1:35.6	very generous offer or is he going to choose to play somewhere else? And that's really all it comes
1:41.4	down to at the end of the day for the Mets right now. But let's dive into where we're at with Wonsoto.
1:46.6	He has met with multiple teams, including the Mets.
