Listen "Hour 1: Alonso OUT: Does Stearns' Blowtorch Clear the Path for Soto to Be the GOAT Met?"
Episode Synopsis
On their final show, BT & Sal dive into the immediate aftermath of David Stearns trading Pete Alonso, with Sal demanding to know "Why" the Mets weren't willing to meet the five-year, $155 million deal. They debate the theory that Alonso's departure was necessary to clear a path for Juan Soto to become the greatest Met ever, a theory Sal calls "complete nonsense."
The discussion heats up over the pressure on David Stearns, as the hosts wonder how long he has until Steve Cohen is forced to act on public backlash if the team doesn't improve quickly, asking if the "blowtorch" approach is too risky. They emphasize that while Alonso was beloved, his departure is necessary to build a "sustained winner," urging fans to have discipline and trust Stearns' vision. The segment wraps with a look at what the Mets need next, including Skubal and Kyle Tucker, and a light-hearted moment about the show's final day.
