A Pod of Their Own, Episode 53: Who can afford to opt out

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.

This week, we open the show with the storylines of Mets summer camp—Yoenis Cespedes dingers, the very Metsy free agent additions, and the fact that very few Mets outside of Jacob deGrom have guaranteed contracts beyond 2020 and therefore the luxury of being able to opt out of the season. We also chat about the latest rumors about the sale of the team and the resurgence of a possible Steve Cohen deal.
