Does Tarik Skubal want the Mets, what are other options, and what else will the offseason bring?

Joe DeMayo and guest co-host Chelsea Janes drop the latest episode of The Mets Pod, as Joe and SNY's MLB Insider go long on Tarik Skubal and the offseason ahead. Joe and Chelsea break down all the noise around the free agency of Skubal and the possibility of him landing with the Mets, while also discussing the roles Steve Cohen and David Stearns will play in any pursuit of the star pitcher. Later, they compare Freddy Peralta's time in NY with the more successful version in Tampa, while also contrasting the different ways a Brewers vs Rays World Series matchup can be interpreted in the shadow of MLB's ongoing labor issues. Later, the show takes voicemails about other pitching options and the future for Francisco Alvarez, while the Mailbag brings up the continuing questions at first base.
