On the latest episode of The Mets Pod, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo kick off 2026 the way they ended last year, waiting for the Mets to make more moves. The guys discuss noise around Kyle Tucker and Framber Valdez, and throw around some other names that may match up with the Mets in free agency or trades. Connor and Joe also go Down on the Farm to talk about how "ready" top prospect Carson Benge really is, and answer Mailbag questions about how good the Mets really are, a potential trade match with the Guardians, the starting rotation, and what to do with the current crowd of young infielders.
