Pete's Gone! Stearns Becomes NYC's New #1 Sports Villain! | BT & Sal Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

BT & Sal react instantly to the explosive news that Pete Alonso is officially gone, signing a five-year, $155 million deal with the Orioles. Sal defends the move, arguing that the Mets needed a "wrecking ball" to change a core that "wasn't working," even though he acknowledges the raw emotional pain for Mets fans who loved the "Polar Bear." Tierney pushes back, declaring David Stearns the most hated man in New York sports right now, demanding he "start cooking fast" to replace the massive power loss. They discuss the potential pivot, noting the money saved from Nimmo, Diaz, and Alonso could target players like Cody Bellinger or Kyle Tucker, but warn that Stearns has zero latitude left and must deliver major moves to avoid becoming a failure. The hosts agree that the team needs at least two big bats and two significant pitchers to prevent the 2026 roster from looking "disgracefully bad."

Five Years, $155M: Mets Draw Line in the Sand, Alonso Jumps Ship! | BT & Sal Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

BT and Sal react to the seismic breaking news that Pete Alonso has officially left the New York Mets, signing a five-year, $155 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles. Hof's fiery reaction sums up the fan base's outrage, calling the decision by President of Baseball Operations David Stearns "inexcusable."

The hosts debate whether this move is a necessary "ripping of the band-aid" for a flawed team or a colossal mistake, especially after the recent departure of Edwin Diaz and the trade of Brandon Nimmo. Tierney points to Stearns's focus on defense and high-OBP players like Marcus Semien as the new direction, arguing the Mets can be a better team even with fewer home runs. The key question now becomes: Did Alonso's anger over his treatment by the organization lead him to leave without giving the Mets a final chance to match the offer?

Is Cashman Asleep? The Yankees' Offseason Is a Snoozefest! | BT & Sal Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

BT & Sal blast the Yankees for their glacial pace this offseason, with Tierney describing the Yankees Hot Stove show as a cure for insomnia. The hosts mock GM Brian Cashman's vague Winter Meetings update that deals have been "tough so far," contrasting his comments about the "aggressive" Dodgers to the Yankees' own timid approach.

The discussion quickly turns to the Yankees' glaring roster needs: a leadoff hitter and a reliable right-handed thumper to balance the lineup. They zero in on the problematic infield, with Sal calling for changes at two spots due to the mess of Volpe, Chisholm, and McMahon. Tierney floats the idea of trading Jazz Chisholm for Bo Bichette to upgrade the offense, while Sal flatly rejects the possibility of pursuing Pete Alonso, declaring, "He's just not my kind of ballplayer." The segment concludes with a spirited debate on the entitled nature of former Yankee Edwin Diaz being "upset" with the team for not consulting him before signing Devin Williams.

Diaz Gone, Pete on the Brink: Stearns is Building a Basement Team! | BT & Sal Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

BT & Sal launch into a fiery debate over David Stearns' leadership, with mounting fan panic following the loss of Edwin Diaz and the looming free agency of Pete Alonso. Sal maintains that the Mets will be better, but argues that losing their top power bat without a clear replacement (Tucker? Bellinger?) makes improving on 83 wins exceedingly difficult.

Tierney fires back, cautioning that if Stearns deviates from his "hard line" of three years for Alonso—simply to avoid "public backlash"—it would prove he is "flimsy" and unable to run a healthy organization, drawing a parallel to the foolishness of breaking a budget when buying a home. The discussion is punctuated by a Mets fan caller, Joe, who reads an old "Sal Was Right" tweet about never trusting Edwin Diaz.

Edwin Díaz 'Didn't Want to Be Here' | Boomer & Gio Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

The Mets fanbase is melting down over Edwin Díaz signing with the Dodgers, a move Boomer paradoxically believes guarantees they'll sign Pete Alonso, while the industry fears the Dodgers' spending power is so dominant it will force an MLB lockout in 2027. Díaz ultimately "didn't want to be here," giving the Mets a small shield from the chaos.

The Mets Allowing Diaz to "Test The Market" With The Dodgers is a Disgrace! | Chris McMonigle Dec 10, 2025

Show notes
