The Mets travel west, plus talking about Double-A’s best
Description
On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo take a close look at the Mets games out west, and get a close look at some potential future Mets in Binghamton. Leading off the show, the guys are joined by Jacob Wilkins, the play-by-play voice of the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies, to talk in-depth about prospects Brandon Sproat, Ryan Clifford, Kevin Parada, and Nolan McLean. Later, Connor and Joe discuss the short and long-term futures for Sean Manaea, Pete Alonso, Luis Severino, and Harrison Bader, and review the games played since the last time they talked. Finally, the show dips into the Mailbag to answer questions about the prospects currently at Triple-A Syracuse, and then wraps with thoughts on the direct competition for the Mets in the chase for an NL Wild Card.
