On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo look back on a week of winning without much hitting, and also chat with pitching prospect Matt Allan about his long road back to the mound. First up, the guys cover the dramatic series win over the Dodgers, the continued struggles of Juan Soto, the emergence of Brett Baty, and the balancing act between playing both Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens behind the plate. Then, Joe catches up with prospect Matt Allan, who shares his story of a road back from multiple surgeries, and also talks about the changes he’s seen in the Mets organization, and what he’s now seeing from himself in Brooklyn and what could still be ahead for him in 2025. Later, Connor and Joe answer mailbag questions about Jett Williams, Ryan Clifford, narratives around Juan Soto, and the overall issues of the offense.
