Joe DeMayo welcomes a doubleheader of great guests to the latest episode of The Mets Pod, as offseason action quickly approaches for the Mets and all of MLB. First up, Ron Darling chats with Joe about the future of the SNY booth, as well as the future of the Mets starting rotation, the free agency of Tarik Skubal, learning from other playoff teams, and the 40th anniversary of the 1986 Mets championship. Later, Will Sammon of The Athletic checks in for a conversation that covers Tarik Skubal, Teruaki Sato, the possibility of moving Juan Soto to first base, and the potential prospects who could eventually be the solution at second base for the organization. The show wraps with a Mailbag that delivers questions about Francisco Alvarez, David Stearns, Kodai Senga, and more.
