Inside Promotions of Jett Williams, Jonah Tong, Ryan Clifford & Carson Benge | Matt Schaefer Interview
The Mets’ future just got even brighter. Four top prospects – Jett Williams, Jonah Tong, Ryan Clifford, and Carson Benge – all got the call up to Triple-A, while AJ Ewing heads to Double-A. We break down what these promotions mean, who could make an impact in Queens sooner than expected, and why Jonah Tong’s dominance is must-watch. Plus, we talk Mets-Brewers, David Stearns’ Milwaukee ties, playoff odds, Juan Soto’s postseason potential, and why Citi Field vibes might just need a reset. Then, Islanders’ first overall pick Matt Schaefer joins the show for a fun, wide-ranging interview about New York food, chirping, and representing the orange and blue.
