On the latest episode of Simply Amazin’, Tim Ryder is joined by Wall Street Journal national baseball writer and author of the upcoming book (comes out March 31, 2020; William Morrow/HarperCollins), Swing Kings: The Inside Story of Baseball’s Home Run Revolution, Jared Diamond.
Tim and Jared discuss the Mets, of course, and how they should approach this offseason, as well as where Zack Wheeler could be pitching in 2020.
They also discuss the proposed contraction of 42 minor league teams and how that might affect the grassroots level of the game, the ongoing drama in Houston, and Jared gives listeners a terrific teaser to his first book, Swing Kings, out this March.
You can pre-order Jared’s book via the link above, check out his terrific work in the Wall Street Journal, and follow him on Twitter here. As always, if you enjoyed the show, please be so kind as to subscribe and leave a five-star review.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mets fans!
