Listen "Stearns' Smoke & Mirrors: Are the Mets Going BIG or Getting Bailed Out by Cohen?"
Episode Synopsis
BT & Sal dissect David Stearns' recent comments on the Mets' offseason, debating whether the GM has the appetite—or the checkbook—to execute the massive overhaul the team needs.
Sal outlines a fiery, aggressive ultimatum for Pete Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, proposing a "$180 million, take-it-or-leave-it" deal to prevent the slugger from holding up the entire offseason. The hosts agree that simply bringing back Alonso and Diaz and adding a single pitcher is "not enough," arguing that the team's core DNA must change. Tierney demands a minimum of two high-end starters plus a major position player acquisition (like Bellinger or Bregman) to make the offseason a success. They also clash over Alonso's value, with Sal focusing on his lack of production when the power isn't there, and Tierney arguing his home run numbers are irreplaceable in a lineup already lacking offensive threats.
