Mets add Luke Weaver, subtract Jeff McNeil, and have eyes on more moves | The Mets Pod

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo head into New Year’s looking at a very new Mets team for 2026. The guys break down the bullpen after the addition of Luke Weaver, react to the trade of Jeff McNeil to the A’s for a young pitching prospect, discuss the many former Yankees who have become current Mets, and wonder whether or not Cody Bellinger could join that group. Connor and Joe also go Down on the Farm to talk about international prospect Wandy Asigen, and answer Mailbag questions about David Stearns possibly hiring a GM, the appeal of Luis Robert Jr, and an interesting hypothetical trade scenario for Tarik Skubal.
