For All You Kids Out There

In Episode 257 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss various press conferences, available Reds starting pitchers, and former Mets players in new spots. In the second half of the show we are joined by Andrew Koo from the BP stats team to chat about what a modern analytics department does, the public/private gap on prospects, and what the Mets first steps should be to build out their baseball operations. Then in the third half of the show we have some very long emails.

We recorded a day early because there has been news. The Mets have a GM! The Mets have a starting catcher! Hijo del Vikingo is back in AAA! We also answer questions about that free agent pitcher you might have heard of, the Rule 5 draft, and Trevor Lawrence.

In Episode 255 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett spend the first twenty minutes breaking down the state of the Phillies, looking at old Phillies prospect lists, and all the other Phillies-related stuff you'd come to love from your favorite Mets-adjacent podcast. We do eventually get to the Mets stuff, breaking down the James McCann and Jake Odorizzi rumors, examine our bad tender deadline predictions, and try to figure out where the Mets front office search is going. In the third half of the show we have an important Jets football update and some AEW thoughts.

In Episode 254 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey is unable to steer Jarrett away from talking about football, and Jets football at that, for the first bit. Eventually we get onto Sandy's press conference (yes that was only last week) and what to do about the front office. We also talk non-tenders and the mess that is minor league realignment. Then in the third half of the show, we answer your e-mails...about Francisco Lindor...and well...

In Episode 253 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss the newest free agent Met, the fact that there are no new 40-man Mets, and even do an off the cuff Rule 5 draft preview. Then in the second half of the show, we chat with David Roth about Chris Flexen, bars at Citi Field, Steve Cohen's posting energy, and the other Wilpon brother. Finally in the third half of the show we remember we were supposed to talk about the current front office search and get into politics instead of pro wrestling.

Mid-week podcasts will continue until morale improves. Or news stops happening. One of those.

In Episode 251 of For All You Kids Out There, the Mets stopped making news after our two midweek episodes, so you can just consider them an extended first half of the show. We do add some thoughts on Chris Flexen, Kim Ng, the Marlins Roster Resource page, and George Springer. Then we answer your questions on Mets Kremlinology (one last time?) and a potential Michael Conforto extension (definitely not the last time).

We are not doing daily shows...probably.

The Mets had a press conference. And it made us...happy?

In Episode 248 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett have a very, very busy news week to cover. Off the top of one of our heads, well Harol Gonzalez has re-upped with the Mets as a MiLBFA. Oh, also Steve Cohen officially owns the team and has cleaned house in Player Dev and Analytics. We have thoughts. Minor League Baseball is changing a lot too. We have more thoughts. In the third half of the show, Jeffrey is finally Getting into Knives, and we have correspondence and a contentious AEW PPV review.

In Episode 247 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss the final approval of Steve Cohen, new Mets owner, and his forays into Mets Twitter. We also look ahead to what sure looks like a slow offseason (although perhaps not for the Mets). In the second half of the show we have some final playoffs thoughts. And in the third half of the show we answer a question about the future of LOLMets and preview AEW Full Gear.

In Episode 246 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss the playoffs (after announcing they won't talk about the playoffs), NYC mayoral politics, and instructional league video. In the second half of the show, they talk...well, more about the playoffs with Editor-in-Chief Craig Goldstein. And in the third half of the show we answer questions on different varieties of baseball cheating and what to do with BVW.

In Episode 245 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey would like a brisk discussion of the playoffs and the Mets ownership scuttlebutt, but Jarrett takes us on a whirlwind tour of personal pref lists and poker stories from the 00s. We do eventually get to the latest in Mets news such as it is, and then handle a four-part email in the third half of the show. That e-mail does not include G1 thoughts, but we toss those in anyway.

With the Mets...uh...not in the playoffs according to our notes, it's going to be a sparse news week for Episode 244 of For All You Kids Out There, so Jeffrey and Jarrett turn the agenda over to the listeners. We do have to employ Rob Mains for a particularly complicated financial question, although Jarrett is far more qualified to handle that one than the one about bands of the 2010s.

In Episode 243 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett break down where it all went wrong for the Phillies and Matt Klentak. I think we tie it back into the Mets around the 30-minute mark. We also discuss what a Lindor trade might look like, because there's a low of down time for a Mets podcast now, so might as well speculate on Francisco Lindor in orange and blue. In the second half of the show we answer your correspondence and delve deep on the changes to scouting and player development in the as of yet unknown new PBA. And in the third half of the show we go over the WON Hall of Fame ballot with Brady.

In Episode 242 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett spend the first half of the show on our end-of-season podcast tradition, spending 30 seconds* on each 2020 Met. Then in the second half of the show we chat about what Sandy Alderson as Team President might bring in the near future to Queens baseball. Finally in the third half of the show we answer some e-mails and name several dirt sheets. *There were 47 Mets in 2020 and this segment is over an hour, you can do the math.

In Episode 241 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett preview the 2020Jets season, lay the 2020 Mets to rest again, and review new PTBNL and old prospect lists. In the second half of the show, David Roth of Defector Media sums up 20 years of the Wilpon Mets in one Simpsons reference, and Jarrett goes deep into the annals of Mets ownership history. In the third half of the show we answer your correspondence and try to figure out what to do with the Mets corner bat logjam.

In Episode 240 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett have a nice short first half of the show planned out that gets derailed by a half hour on bullpen construction thoughts. We also have some more Mets Kremlinology, some breaking ownership news, and another Michael Conforto extension question to answer.

The Mets almost didn't do anything at the trade deadline. But then they did.
