BT and Sal unleash a fiery debate over the future of Pete Alonso, arguing the Mets CANNOT let his contract situation "drag out" and "hold up" the offseason like last year. Sal insists the Mets must take a hard line: offer Alonso a deal (maybe 5 years, $150M) but on the condition he becomes a primary DH to improve the team's abysmal defense. Tierney agrees the team needs an "overhaul of epic proportions" but believes Pete, valuing his first base role, will walk even for less money due to feeling "disrespected." The hosts agree that the easiest fix for the Mets is their pitching, while the hardest is reconfiguring their defensive alignment and lineup infrastructure.

They also touch on the baffling departure of first base coach Richardson to the rival Braves, suspecting the move was driven by a "philosophical disconnect" or Richardson seeking an elevated role, not money. The discussion concludes with the need for the Mets to aggressively pursue major acquisitions like Tarik Skubal and Cody Bellinger without letting Scott Boras's client timeline dictate their moves.
