Listen "Hour 1: Pete's Pissy Fit: Will Schwarber Get More Money from the Mets?"
Episode Synopsis
BT & Sal dive deep into the Mets' high-stakes offseason, fueled by rumors linking the team to Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber. The central debate is whether signing Schwarber means Pete Alonso is gone, as the Mets are reportedly holding firm at a three-year contract for the Polar Bear. Sal argues that Schwarber is the only comparable power bat to replace Pete and loves the idea of pairing him with Soto.
They discuss the pressure on President David Stearns to radically change the team's DNA, even if it means sacrificing fan favorites, but note that losing the core makes success mandatory. The conversation also shifts to the desperate search for a center fielder, weighing the high-risk, high-reward proposition of trading for the often-injured Byron Buxton against making a costly play for Cody Bellinger. Sal is open to a four-year deal for Schwarber, which would surely anger a younger Alonso, who wants more money and term.
