Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo recap the 2022 MLB Trade Deadline on Episode 18 of The Mets Pod, as the guys break down what the Mets did and didn’t do, including the additions of Darin Ruf and Mychal Givens. Connor and Joe examine how the new guys can help their new team, and the failure of the Mets to add a new left-handed relief pitcher. Later in the show, the guys discuss what the stretch run will look like now for the Mets and their bullpen, chat about the deal that went down for Juan Soto, and sort out their trade deadline winners and losers around MLB. Finally, the show closes by opening The Mailbag, with listener questions about calling up catching prospect Francisco Alvarez, the most reliable relievers, and whether or not Mark Vientos sees the big leagues in 2022. Be sure to subscribe to The Mets Pod at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts!Today's Show:1:00 Trade Deadline Initial Reaction4:35 Darin Ruf11:30 Mychal Givens14:05 Why no left-handed reliever acquisition?1
