A Pod of Their Own, Episode 280: Oh my God we’re having a fire….sale

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.

class="wp-block-paragraph">This week, a lot happened in Metsland. They traded David Peterson and departed ways with manager Carlos Mendoza, who was replaced by Andy Green. In other news, maybe Jorge Polanco will return? It’ll be a surprise! And Marcus Semien was placed on the IL with a hip flexor strain after an historically bad day in the field. Nothing is going right in this organization right now.

class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, we cover the latest in the CBA negotiations, as the MLBPA wants a ban on individual prop bets to help protect them from online harassment.

class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
