Listen "Diaz Gone, Pete on the Brink: Stearns is Building a Basement Team!"
Episode Synopsis
BT & Sal launch into a fiery debate over David Stearns' leadership, with mounting fan panic following the loss of Edwin Diaz and the looming free agency of Pete Alonso. Sal maintains that the Mets will be better, but argues that losing their top power bat without a clear replacement (Tucker? Bellinger?) makes improving on 83 wins exceedingly difficult.
Tierney fires back, cautioning that if Stearns deviates from his "hard line" of three years for Alonso—simply to avoid "public backlash"—it would prove he is "flimsy" and unable to run a healthy organization, drawing a parallel to the foolishness of breaking a budget when buying a home. The discussion is punctuated by a Mets fan caller, Joe, who reads an old "Sal Was Right" tweet about never trusting Edwin Diaz.
