Summary

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo recap a week that turned the tide on the Mets offseason and outlook for 2026. First up, the guys react to the huge trade that landed top starter Freddy Peralta along with Tobias Myers, in exchange for top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat. Then Connor and Joe move onto the acquisition of center fielder Luis Robert Jr, the official introduction of Bo Bichette, the addition of Luis Garcia to the bullpen, and maybe more moves to come. The show also goes Down on the Farm to look at how the trades affect the organization, and answer Mailbag questions about adding another outfielder, and the September return of Pete Alonso to Citi Field with the Orioles.
