The offseason for the Mets and Yankees leaves a lot to be desired, especially the Mets.
Has winter ended for both teams? Is this essentially the roster they bring to spring training? What else do I need to do?
Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman break down the New York baseball team’s somewhat lackluster winter on “The Show” podcast.
A team that could make a breakthrough this year is the Detroit Tigers. On this week’s episode, manager AJ Hinch joins Joel and John.
“The Show” Podcast with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman:
- Mets question mark: Goals and expectations have receded. They seem to be looking forward to 2025 even more.
- Yankees outlook: I don’t understand the prospect of them becoming heavy favorites. The Orioles are a young team and can get even better. There are still question marks in the Yankees’ rotation.
- Hall of Fame voting: All candidates must remain on the ballot for at least three years. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be postponed to late June, when there will be fewer events.
AJ Hinch interview:

- play off: We understand what it takes to win. They want to end their playoff drought.
- Cola/Baez: I’ve wanted to hire Joey Cora for years. They need Javy Baez to be successful this year. He’s having a good offseason. He’s looking for a bounce back year from him.
- Third base: Who will play the most minutes at third base for them?
- pitching: A group of sneaky good pitchers. There could be some good competition for rotation spots in the spring. Last year’s bullpen was great. I’m excited about Maeda-san.
- Mark Cagna: He’s very disciplined at the plate. He has a competitive edge. He plays primarily in the outfield and sometimes as a first baseman.
