Welcome to "The Put it in the Books Show," the only podcast where the Mets' offseason moves are more unpredictable than a New York minute! Strap in for the 2024 Spring Training Episode #1 with your hilariously insightful hosts: Farace, the master of Mets metaphors; Rodriguez, who bleeds orange and blue but can't keep a straight face; Lares, the stats wizard with a penchant for wild predictions; and Producer Joe, who might accidentally mute himself mid-show. Dive headfirst with us into the Mets' offseason rundown, where we'll try to make sense of all the twists and turns without getting dizzy. We'll cover everything from surprise trades to those "What were they thinking?" moments, all while keeping the mood lighter than a floating knuckleball. Then, we'll tackle the astonishing fact that five Mets players have squeezed into the top 100 MLB players list. We'll discuss who's up, who's down, and who's just happy to be mentioned. Expect hot takes, cold stats, and a debate over which Met deserves their own superhero movie. Pete Alonso's contract talks are up next, and it's a saga more gripping than your favorite soap opera. Will he get the big bucks, or will the negotiations drag on longer than a rain delay? Our hosts will offer their two cents, which is probably more than they're contributing to Pete's contract fund. The Captain's arrival in Port Saint Lucie is causing waves, and we're not just talking about the Florida beaches. We'll speculate wildly about what his presence means for the team, from potential pep talks to the chance he's just there for the great weather. And the curveball of the episode: Senga starting the season on the IL. It's a plot twist not even we saw coming, and we'll explore how this impacts the Mets' game plan, with suggestions ranging from the plausible to the downright ridiculous. So grab your popcorn and your favorite Mets cap, and get ready for a rollercoaster ride of baseball banter. "The Put it in the Books Show" is where Mets talk meets comedy central, and Episode #1 of the 2024 Spring Training series is about to be a home run of hilarity! #PiitB #Mets
