Summary
Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo look back on another tough week, but look ahead to the debut of top prospect A.J. Ewing on the latest episode of The Mets Pod. After another underwhelming stretch of play for the Mets, the guys discuss the call up of Ewing, the team's continued offensive struggles, and what to make of Francisco Alvarez. Later, Connor and Joe go Down on the Farm to check in on power-hitting prospect Ryan Clifford, and answer Mailbag questions about trade ideas, going back in time to the beginning of the offseason, hitting philosophy, and the overall direction of the Mets franchise.
