On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo tie a bow on the 2025 season for the Mets, a season that ended in complete disappointment and failure. Connor and Joe recap all that went wrong that brought the Mets nowhere near their expectations, and sort the blame between president of baseball ops David Stearns, manager Carlos Mendoza, the coaching staff, and the players. The guys also look ahead to what needs to be fixed, plus ideas for how to do it, and react to comments Stearns made during his end-of-season news conference. As always, the show dives into the Mailbag to also give voice to the frustrated fans, who have their own questions about the way the Mets went down.
