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.
This week, we begin by lamenting the fact that changing managers has not magically transformed the Mets into a good baseball team. We also talk about the latest trade deadline rumors, David Stearns’ press conference, and Steve Cohen’s interview on Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman’s podcast.
We also celebrate Juan Soto’s selection to the NL All-Star roster.
Next, we talk about Edwin Díaz saying MLB has not contacted him about his association with a cockfighting ring and new reporting from Bradford William Davis about MLB’s apparent home run quota.
We also shout out the Domestic Violence Project’s event with the Brooklyn Cyclones on August 2, which you should try to attend if you can!
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.
