Laura Albanese

So you can find my writing at newsday.com forward slash Mets.

You can catch me on Twitter or X at Albanese Laura.

And I have a podcast, which is mostly just like nonsense and sports and pop culture called First Time Listener, Long Time Caller.

No, there's not even a flaming volcano.

It's just like Panda Express, Benihana.

Hi, Devin.

Welcome to Queens.

Also, Laura Albanese from Newsday.

I just wanted to know, what did you feel made the Mets a good fit for you?

Just in terms, I mean, I know you've already been acclimated to New York.

How do you feel like you got more comfortable in the second half?

And how do you feel that that can translate to now your tenure with the Mets?

Hey, Mark, it's Laura Albanese from Newsday.

I mean, you're coming into a clubhouse that obviously has a big veteran presence, but also a lot of youth in there as well.

I mean, just how do you view your role as a leader?

What is your leadership style and how do you think you'll fit into the kind of that that entire amalgamation?

Hi, David.

How do you foresee the outfield alignment shaping up?

And does this increase your appetite to go after a sort of higher profile free agent outfielder?

Or do you still feel like there are internal options that you can kind of plug those holes with?
