Listen "Stearns' Stare Down: Pete & Diaz Held Hostage By the Mets' 'But'!"
Episode Synopsis
BT & Sal launch a fiery debate over David Stearns' approach to free agency, specifically the looming decisions on Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz. Sal argues for a hardline, decisive approach—a "take it or leave it" offer to stop being held up by prolonged negotiations, as he believes the Mets are operating in a frustrating "gray area" by saying they want the players but waiting for the market.
BT counters that the Mets need to respect the free agency process and the optics of a harsh negotiation. The hosts agree that the Mets' willingness to go all-in for Soto or Yamamoto is a clear contrast to their patient, cost-conscious stance with their own stars, which suggests they don't want Alonso back "like that." The discussion concludes with a shared frustration over agent Scott Boras's tactics and the potential for these negotiations to drag out until February.
