On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo preview the MLB Draft with Jim Callis from MLB.com and also recap an up and down week for the Mets. Leading off, senior writer for MLB Pipeline and MLB.com Jim Callis stops by the show to reveal the top targets in next week’s MLB Draft for the Mets and other big league teams. The guys also talk sleeper picks and the overall state of the Mets farm system. Later, Connor and Joe look back at the games against the Nationals and the Pirates, then go Down on the Farm to recap Joe’s trip to see Double-A Binghamton where he got to chat with top prospects Brandon Sproat and Ryan Clifford. Finally, things wrap up with more Scoreboard predictions, and Mailbag questions answered about finding bullpen help externally and also within the organization.
