Listen "The Unacceptable Miss: Losing Skubal is Worse Than Losing Pete!"
Episode Synopsis
BT and Sal discuss the trade market for ace pitcher Tarik Skubal and the sheer unacceptability of the Mets missing out on him, arguing that losing the bidding war for Skubal would be more egregious than losing players like Pete Alonso or Edwin Diaz.
The hosts acknowledge that any deal for Skubal requires a "leap of faith" and a massive haul from the minor league system, especially since no contract extension is guaranteed. Sal emphasizes the importance of staying in the running for the Tigers' ace, fearing the catastrophic optics of him landing with a powerhouse like the Dodgers. The discussion transitions to Edwin Diaz, where they agree his move to Los Angeles was clearly driven by emotion and a feeling of being slighted by the Mets' free-agent decisions, like signing Devin Williams without his consultation.
