BT & Sal dive into the dramatic fallout from the Mets' failure to re-sign fan-favorite Pete Alonso, who signed a 5-year, $155 million deal with the Orioles. Sal concedes that letting Alonso walk is the "right thing to do" for the long-term goal of building a sustained winner, but admits Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns is now "Public Enemy #1."

The debate centers on owner Steve Cohen's patience: Tierney questions if the public backlash from letting go of Alonso (and other core players like Díaz and Nimmo) could lead to an "irrational" decision to fire Stearns if the team misses the playoffs next season, a move Sal argues would be disastrously short-sighted for the rebuild. The hosts analyze the tension between building a "sustained winner" and succumbing to "petulant" unpredictability.
