Welcome to the offseason Mets fans! We hope you enjoyed masquerading as Phillies fans for a couple of weeks if you chose to do so, but now it's back to business for Billy Eppler and the Mets!
The Mets started the offseason early by ensuring everyone knows it's about the Mets, baby. They re-signed Edwin Diaz to a 5-year contract, the most lucrative deal for a relief pitcher in MLB history. On the pod this week, we break down why this deal is Good and why you shouldn't worry about the Mets prioritizing Diaz over Nimmo or deGrom.
Speaking of deGrom, we weigh in on the first round of rumors surrounding the Mets' ace. Do we think they can bring him back? Where do we think the Mets' payroll winds up.
Likewise, we opine about the Mets hiring of Eric Jagers as their new Director of Pitching Development. Hint: it's a good hire.
We also break down Trea Turner and where the Mets' possible pursuit of him might fit into the hectic shortstop market. Plus, Sam gives one big non-Mets related free agent prediction.
Enjoy 101, Mets fans!
