## Resource

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by discussing the Mets' rotation, which has completely fallen apart, and the impending return of Francisco Lindor and Tyrone Taylor. We also talk about the grim outlook for the trade deadline and potentially beyond. Next, we cover the latest in the CBA negotiations, as the league has put forth a set of proposals involving the draft, which the union swiftly rejected. We also discuss the latest in the Giants Pride Night scandal, which has escalated all the way to a DOJ investigation. We also plug a GoFundMe for Adam Bayatti aka TheMetsHomeRunner in order to get him to New York to see a Mets game in person. Throw a few bucks his way if you are able. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
