Part 2/8:
One of the significant announcements in this episode was the Mets' re-signing of Ryan Stanek to a one-year deal. Conor and Joe expressed their excitement over Stanek's return, highlighting his crucial role during the postseason, despite a challenging regular season where he posted an ERA over 6. The duo recalled his impressive performances against teams like the Brewers and Phillies, which were pivotal during the Mets’ playoff run. Stanek’s experience, particularly from his time with the Houston Astros, positions him as a valuable asset in the bullpen for the upcoming season.
