Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop a supersized 2025 season preview episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as special guest Gary Cohen stops by the show! The guys chat with SNY’s Mets play-by-play broadcaster about Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, the situation at second base, the state of the starting rotation, high expectations for the team, and what he’s looking forward to most in what will be the 20th year of Mets baseball on SNY! Later, Connor and Joe take the temperature of the starting rotation, bullpen, lineup, and defense of the Mets heading into the regular season, drop their 2025 season predictions that always will be fun to review in the future, and answer Mailbag questions about prospects, Brett Baty, Luisangel Acuna, future live shows, and the health of Brandon Nimmo.
