Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal unleash on the abysmal state of the New York baseball offseason, which is set on fire by BREAKING NEWS: Pete Alonso signs a 5-year, $155M deal with the Baltimore Orioles! Sal defends David Stearns' conviction on player valuation, arguing the "unsuccessful core" needed a "wrecking ball," while a furious Hof calls the GM a "moron" for letting the face of the franchise walk. The hosts question whether the Mets fanbase can "trust the process" after losing both Alonso and Edwin Diaz.

The conversation pivots to the Yankees' inaction, where Sal pitches Nico Hoerner as the perfect, contact-hitting Gold Glove infielder to cure their strikeout woes. They also break down the massive hurdles—ownership approval and a huge extension—stalling the blockbuster Tarik Skubal to Dodgers trade.

Finally, the hosts dive into the dark side, tallying all of Tony Soprano's personal kills, then shift to lighter fare, debating cocktail attire for Alex Rodriguez's holiday party and whether the former Yankee deserves a spot in Monument Park.
