Shoeys, Skubal, and Scandal: BT & Sal Go Ballistic! | BT & Sal Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

BT & Sal kick off the segment with a mix of disgust and fascination over football player Cam Skattebo's latest viral stunt: chugging an energy drink from his cleat (a "Shoey"). Then, they dive into a fiery hypothetical: an Athletic-proposed trade for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal involving a Yankees package of Spencer Jones, Will Warren, and two pitching prospects. The hosts debate whether this offer is deliberately undervaluing Skubal compared to the Mets' reported trade pieces, reigniting the argument over the true quality of the Yankees' farm system.

The conversation shifts to the upcoming Japanese posting window, with Sal confidently predicting the Mets and Yankees will each land a star, while Tierney is skeptical, fearing the Dodgers will collect everyone. They discuss the worrying scouting report on star hitter Munetaka Murakami and his inability to hit fastballs over 93 MPH. The segment wraps up by venting about high NBA ticket prices and the outrage fans feel when high-priced stars like Giannis sit out.

Are Tong, Sproat, Williams, and Mauricio a "Butt Load" Too Much? | BT & Sal Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

BT & Sal ignite a heated argument with Hoff over a hypothetical Mets trade proposal by Jim Bowden, which sends four top prospects (Tong, Sproat, Williams, Mauricio) to Detroit for one year of Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. BT is "in a heartbeat" for the trade, arguing they must be aggressive to land a frontline ace. Hoff slams it as "irresponsible", insisting they absolutely cannot trade that "butt load of prospects" without a guaranteed contract extension, comparing the high cost to the Yankees' "bunch of nothing" price for Juan Soto. The debate centers on risk: the Mets' willingness to gamble on an extension versus the risk of being "stupid" and losing their best young talent for a one-year rental.

Hate Trumps Love: Could Mets Fans Root for Pete in Pinstripes? | BT & Sal Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

BT & Sal dive into a hypothetical (but fiery!) discussion about Pete Alonso wearing a Yankees uniform. While acknowledging reports that the Yankees have no interest in the Polar Bear, Sal argues that a move for Alonso would be a smart piece of a necessary "restructuring" for the Yankees—specifically, by trading Giancarlo Stanton and replacing his power and DH slot with an everyday first baseman and DH option in Pete.

The conversation gets personal as they debate the emotional fallout for Mets fans if their franchise slugger jumped to the hated Yankees. Sal asserts that his hatred for the Yankees would "usurp" any affection for Pete, but Hoff and Sal debate where Mets fans would draw the line. The segment also touches on the frustrating lack of development and hype surrounding Yankees prospects like Jasson Dominguez and Mets prospect Carson Benge.

Bellinger Brawl: Yankees vs. Mets for the Ultimate Prize! BT & Sal Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

BT & Sal dive into a fiery debate over the Yankees and Mets' intertwined offseason, focusing on a direct clash for Cody Bellinger and the closer market (Edwin Diaz vs. Devin Williams). Sal argues the Mets must pursue Bellinger and go "pedal to the metal," while BT has more faith in Brian Cashman's urgency than David Stearns' willingness to spend like a big-market GM.

The Mets' need for a "shake up" dominates the conversation, with discussion of trading Senga (despite the desperate need for pitching) and moving core players like McNeil, Nimmo, Baty, and Vientos—the guys Sal is "tired of waiting on." The segment concludes with BT teasing his "Grand Slam Mets Offseason" plan, a four-component blueprint he believes would make the Mets World Series contenders.

Parcells, Pressure, and Punishment: Simms Reveals the Giants' Lost Leadership! | BT & Sal Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

Giants legend and Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms joins BT & Sal for a fiery, in-depth NFL discussion. Simms slams the Giants' "biggest disappointment"—the defensive failure—and calls out the coaching for not being "aggressive" enough. He weighs in on the extensive head coach search, arguing that analytics have made NFL game management "stupid," and reveals what former coach Bill Parcells taught him about chasing points.

Simms also tackles the Giants' "leaderless" atmosphere, the controversy surrounding Jaxson Dart's running and Cam Scott's wrestling appearance, and the "sad" state of the Giants' home-field advantage. Finally, he breaks down the top college quarterback prospects the Jets might target, including Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson, offering a strong take on why Mac Jones was the 49ers' true target over Trey Lance.

Qualifying Catastrophe: Grisham's QO Acceptance Kicks Off Yankee Dread! | BT & Sal Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

BT and Sal unleash a fiery discussion about Trent Grisham's decision to accept the qualifying offer ($22 million), with BT calling it a "colossal mistake" by the Yankees' front office, who seemingly misread his willingness to take the one-year deal. BT views the move as the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," arguing the allure of a compensatory pick blindsided them. Sal, however, believes Grisham is still a valuable commodity who can be used as a high-end fourth outfielder or trade bait (after the June 15 deadline), and that the $22 million shouldn't stop the Yankees from landing Cody Bellinger or trading for Steven Kwan.

The hosts debate the impact on the roster, specifically how Grisham's presence complicates the paths for young prospects Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones and exacerbates the Yankees' already dangerous left-handed hitting compromise. BT's main fear remains that this move encourages the Yankees to "run it back" with a team that failed to win, banking too heavily on a different outcome.
