The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya is joined by old college friend (and Arizona State football podcast co-host) Justin Toscano, now the Mets beat writer for The Record. They discuss their college days, why Justin feels the Angels are the West Coast Mets and growing up in southern California. They go on to discuss how the Angels and Mets each have handled the aftermath of The Athletic's reporting on suspended pitching coach Mickey Callaway, as well as the emergence of former Met Juan Lagares (and Anaheim native Jose Rojas) into the big league picture for Opening Day before diving into mailbag questions.
