The Metsian Podcast: Goodbye, Jake, Hello Justin & More w John Pielli

The Metsian Podcast with Sam, Rich & Mike

LIVE at 8pm ET, The Metsian Podcast welcomes Passed Ball's John Pielli. John has hosted the Passed Ball Show since 2011. It can be seen/heard on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. He a sports historian and has a website of http://johnpielli.com. Welp, Jacob deGrom heads to Texas on a 5-year deal worth around 187 million, which is hard to believe would have been matched by the Mets had deGrom even given them a chance to do so. Mets fans are split about the way Jacob left, feeling he's a phony all of a sudden. We'll dissect the transaction and look back on his Mets career. The Mets moved quickly to replace him and Taijuan Walker, who left on a 4-year deal down I-95 to the Phillies, with Justin Verlander and Josè Quintana on short-term deals. We'll discuss these moves and our feelings on having two 40-year olds at the top of the rotation. On top of signing Brandon Nimmo to an 8-year deal worth 162 million, they also signed David Robertson to a 1-year, 10 million dollar deal and traded a prospect to Tampa Bay for southpaw Brooks Raley. How do we feel about these moves? And how do we feel about Steve Cohen going over the tax threshold? All that and more on an action-packed episode of The Metsian Podcast!
