Welcome back to "The Put it in the Books Show," the podcast where the Mets magic never ends, even if our bullpen sometimes does! This is '24 Spring Training Episode #2, and boy, do we have a show lined up for you! First up, the Mets staff is strutting around like they've just won the lottery, and it's only early Spring! We're diving deep into this newfound confidence. Is it the sunny Florida vibes, or do they know something we don't? Maybe they've finally figured out how to clone Jacob deGrom! Then, we're taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane with Mets legends popping up at camp. David Wright and Darryl Strawberry are in the house, giving "old-timer" a whole new level of cool. We're chatting about their impact and whether Strawberry has shared his secret for that sweet swing or if Wright is giving out tips on mastering the hot corner and the art of the classy beard. The hot topic on everyone's lips: Pete Alonso. The man, the myth, the Polar Bear! Should the Mets lock him down and crown him co-captain alongside Lindor? We're debating whether this dynamic duo could be the key to our championship dreams or if it'll just lead to an epic rock-paper-scissors battle for locker room supremacy. And let's not forget about the D-word - Defense! With a capital D that stands for "Do we even?" What's the game plan, and how will it affect our rising stars, Bret Batty and Mark Vientos? Will they be golden glovers, or are they destined to spend more time ducking foul balls in the dugout? Join your favorite hosts - Farace, the man with more Mets jerseys than wins, Rodriguez, who's still trying to perfect his knuckleball, Lares, the stats guru who calculates his life in ERA, and Producer Joe, who's probably still trying to figure out how to turn off the mute button. Strap in, grab your helmet (safety first!), and prepare for a wild ride through the Mets universe. It's "The Put it in the Books Show," where the only thing we love more than the Mets is talking about them!
