Ep. 38: Four More and No More

The Rising Apple Report returns for its 38th episode on the final Wednesday of the regular season. Dan Haefeli will host for the second consecutive week, and he is joined by RA Report regulars Sam Maxwell and Rich Sparago for 30 of the Metsiest minutes of your week!

With four games remaining at home against the Milwaukee Brewers, the big question seems to be whether or not the Mets will get a protected draft pick in next year's draft. Whether or not they do could have implications in free agency, so we'll be sure to discuss whether or not it could or should impact the Mets' offseason plans. Also, with news that Jonathon Niese may not start the final game of the season and that Zack Wheeler was shut down with shoulder discomfort, we'll investigate how important starting pitching will be on Sandy Alderson's shopping list (including rumors of Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo showing interest in these Mets).

Also, with the season winding down, we'll look at some of our favorite memories of the 2013 season, and look into the playoffs which begin next week.
