On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo talk old and new coaches, plus the Mets forever search for starting pitching. The guys cover the likely departure of first base coach Antoan Richardson, the addition of hitting coach Troy Snitker, and also take a quick look back at the chase and non-addition of Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Connor and Joe then dive into the free agent market for starting pitchers, considering such options as Dylan Cease, Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez and more. The show then goes Down on the Farm for a report on reliever Dylan Ross, and answers Mailbag questions about Brandon Sproat, first base trade options if needed, targeting Twins hurler Pablo Lopez as a trade possibility, and a new contract for Edwin Diaz.
