Listen "Hour 4: Pete's Farewell Tour? Alonso is 'Basically Gone' After Diaz Exit!"

Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal dissect the shocking news of Edwin Diaz signing with the Dodgers for virtually the same money the Mets offered, concluding that Diaz "didn't want to be a Met" anymore and intentionally shut down negotiations, regardless of the money. Sal argues the ire should be aimed at the player, not the team, for his Dodgers defection.

The hosts pivot to the ominous outlook for Pete Alonso, with Tierney downgrading his chances of returning after the loss of Diaz and the earlier Nimmo trade, suggesting GM David Stearns is willing to "rip the band-aid off" the entire core. They debate if Stearns' non-emotional approach is necessary to fix the Mets' problematic clubhouse culture. The segment concludes with The Call of the Day, featuring fans calling in enraged, demanding the Mets sign Alonso immediately and accusing Stearns of being a "disaster."
