The Buck stops here on Episode 48 of The Mets Pod, as Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo welcome Mets manager Buck Showalter to the podcast for a conversation about all things Mets, MLB, and more. Connor and Joe talk to the Mets skipper about his return to the dugout in 2022, the rules changes coming to baseball in 2023, Jeff McNeil’s approach to the shift, how the World Baseball Classic will affect spring training, the Mets moves this offseason, and potential depth options for the starting rotation moving forward. Later, the guys go off the field as Buck shares his thoughts on the Super Bowl, the Mets Super Bowl commercial, Rihanna, his favorite movies, and what he would bring with him if he was stranded on a desert island. Finally, Connor and Joe wrap the show with the Mailbag, answering questions about Carlos Beltran re-joining the organization, prospect Matt Allan’s uncertain future, 2023 bullpen options, and Mets jersey choices.
