Listen "Hustle Man Out? Mets May Eat Nimmo's Cash for Better Defense!"

Episode Synopsis

BT and Sal dive into an explosive report from Joel Sherman suggesting the Mets are "spit-balling" scenarios to trade veteran outfielder Brandon Nimmo. With five years and over $100 million left on his contract, the Mets' motivation is to upgrade a poor defense and gain roster flexibility, even if it means eating some salary. Sal supports moving on from a contract that David Stearns wouldn't have signed, while BT sees it as an "out-of-the-box" move that could define a transformative offseason. The conversation also touches on other potential trade targets, like Ketel Marte, as the guys conclude that no one is untouchable this winter for the new front office.
