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.
