The Amazin' Avenue Audio Podcast: Episode 29

The calendar has turned over to August which means it's trade deadline talk ti...oh, hmmm, the Mets didn't really...do...anything. So I guess we will just spend three hours talking about Mets prospects. Yep, that's what is going to happen. First, Rob and Jeffrey go over Rob's midseason prospect list. Jeffrey has some strong feelings on Brandon Nimmo, and Rob has some on the Mets' handling of Jenrry Mejia. Then, Hudson Belinsky joins the show to give you the inside scoop on Mets first-round pick Dominic Smith. Finally, we wrap up with your e-mails.
