Plus, Boomer and Gio react to the wild story of Steve Cohen auctioning off a golden toilet, and the Evan and Tiki crew play MLB free agency bingo.

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.

The Mets are officially on the clock in Vegas. Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz have both hit free agency after opting out of their deals, and David Stearns is trying to thread the needle between keeping his stars and reshaping the roster. We break down the latest from the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, what Scott Boras is saying about Alonso, where things stand with Díaz after a dominant 2025, and which free agents Stearns should be targeting as the market opens. We'll talk Alonso's monster walk-year season, Díaz's contract calculus after another elite campaign, the Mets' stated priorities in center field, the rotation and the bullpen, plus which names on this winter's loaded free-agent board actually make sense in Queens.

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo react to all the offseason noise coming out of the GM Meetings in Las Vegas. Connor and Joe react to quotes from Mets president of baseball ops David Stearns about Carson Benge having a chance to make the team, the possible returns of Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, the future for Kodai Senga, and the search for a “Number One” starting pitcher.  The guys go Down on the Farm to decode what Stearns said about Jett Williams, and also answer Mailbag questions about Shota Imanaga, Dustin May, Alek Manoah, and Trent Grisham.

BT and Sal dive into an explosive report from Joel Sherman suggesting the Mets are "spit-balling" scenarios to trade veteran outfielder Brandon Nimmo. With five years and over $100 million left on his contract, the Mets' motivation is to upgrade a poor defense and gain roster flexibility, even if it means eating some salary. Sal supports moving on from a contract that David Stearns wouldn't have signed, while BT sees it as an "out-of-the-box" move that could define a transformative offseason. The conversation also touches on other potential trade targets, like Ketel Marte, as the guys conclude that no one is untouchable this winter for the new front office.

BT & Sal ignite the offseason discussion, declaring Cody Bellinger the "linchpin" for the Yankees' success and arguing that both New York teams need to abandon "fair market value" for a necessary, "irrational" approach to win. They dive into a shocking report from Joel Sherman suggesting the Mets are "spitballing" a trade of Brandon Nimmo—a move that could clear salary and upgrade defense, but signals a major philosophical shift for David Stearns. The focus then pivots to the NFL for their Week 11 Power Up Rankings. Sal shocks by putting the Patriots at No. 5 and leaving the Chiefs out, while BT puts the Patriots at No. 1 due to their consistent winning and coaching, dropping the Chiefs to No. 4. The guys debate whether the Broncos and Rams have done enough to earn top spots, and predict a crushing loss for the Jets against the Patriots tonight.

BT & Sal unleash a fiery Yankees offseason demand: Cody Bellinger is a "must-sign" that the team cannot afford to miss, arguing they must abandon "fair market value" and aggressively "load up." They dissect potential trades for Steven Kwan and Alex Bregman and float the nuclear option of trading Carlos Rodón. The Mets side of the Hot Stove is equally hot with a shocking report that Brandon Nimmo is being "spitballed" as a trade piece, signaling a massive philosophical shift for David Stearns. Sal airs a hilarious personal grievance against Alex Rodriguez, who texts everyone but Sal. Off the field, the hosts dive into a bizarre celebrity tangent, debating the definition of "swordsman" sparked by Sydney Sweeney drama, and welcome Marlon Wayans to discuss comedy and crushing cancel culture. The show wraps with a brutal assessment of the Jets' upcoming primetime game and a controversial NFL Power Up Ranking that leaves the Chiefs out of the top spots!

BT & Sal dissect David Stearns' recent comments on the Mets' offseason, debating whether the GM has the appetite—or the checkbook—to execute the massive overhaul the team needs. Sal outlines a fiery, aggressive ultimatum for Pete Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, proposing a "$180 million, take-it-or-leave-it" deal to prevent the slugger from holding up the entire offseason. The hosts agree that simply bringing back Alonso and Diaz and adding a single pitcher is "not enough," arguing that the team's core DNA must change. Tierney demands a minimum of two high-end starters plus a major position player acquisition (like Bellinger or Bregman) to make the offseason a success. They also clash over Alonso's value, with Sal focusing on his lack of production when the power isn't there, and Tierney arguing his home run numbers are irreplaceable in a lineup already lacking offensive threats.

BT & Sal demand Steve Cohen and David Stearns adopt an aggressive, take-charge approach to securing Pete Alonso this offseason. Tierney argues the Mets must "call his bluff" and make him their best offer now (suggesting six years, $200 million) to test how much he truly wants to be a Met, rather than letting Scott Boras drag the process into next year. Sal emphasizes that despite the homegrown narrative, Alonso deserves and will demand fair market value after his bounce-back season. The conversation also touches on the Yankees' pursuit of Paul Skenes, the controversial trend of massive deferred payments in contracts (like the Dodgers' deal with Ohtani), and the challenge for consumers to navigate the sea of conflicting reports from national baseball reporters.

BT & Sal go off on the Mets' offseason strategy, arguing that the front office is playing a waiting game with Pete Alonso and should "call his bluff" with a massive, immediate offer to lock him up. They dissect David Stearns' "prudent" approach, questioning his ability to build a winner with the immense pressure and payroll of the Cohen era, especially concerning Edwin Diaz's contract demands. The focus shifts to the Giants' coaching chaos: they debate if the mid-season shake-up, placing Mike Kafka in charge, will provide a true evaluation of Joe Schoen's roster, or if any wins will be a "false representation" of a bad roster/front office. Plus, the hosts break down the Paul Skenes trade rumors, debating if the Yankees should liquidate their best prospects (Schlittler, Jones, Rice) for the "rock star" ace. Finally, the guys tackle a wild Three Random Questions: Is it odd to have feelings for a plant or non-living thing? (Tierney loves his Arborvitae!) What's your favorite soup? (Sal's Italian Wedding vs. BT's despised pea soup!) Where would you rank Sauce Gardner amongst other sauces? (Hint: he's dropped to the "discount rack"!)

BT & Sal demand aggression from David Stearns, urging the Mets to stop playing a waiting game and "call the bluff" with a massive offer to lock up Pete Alonso. They debate if Stearns' "prudent" style fits the Cohen-era pressure. The guys explode over the rumor that Pirates ace Paul Skenes wants to be a Yankee, arguing New York must give up Clarke Schlittler and "whatever it takes" to acquire the generational arm. On the gridiron, they dissect the Giants' coaching chaos under Mike Kafka and slam Jets coach Aaron Glenn for his "prick" and "petty" media feuds over injury questions. Finally, the show features two star interviews: UFC middleweight Bo Nickal discusses his career and mentality, prompting BT to "hammer the bet," and legendary comedian Jay Leno shares unfiltered takes on the Conan O'Brien drama and his famous prank war with David Letterman. The segment concludes with Three Random Questions (3RQ): Is it odd to have feelings for a plant or non-living thing? What's your favorite soup? Where would you rank Sauce Gardner amongst other sauces?

Welcome back to Tablesetters, your home for deep-dive baseball conversation and analysis. Steve and Devin are here, and we're thrilled to welcome back Keith Raad, the play-by-play broadcaster for the New York Mets on WCBS 880, returning to the show for the first time since Episode 37. Keith works alongside Mets Hall of Famer Howie Rose, bringing fans every pitch, every rally, and every unforgettable moment of Mets baseball. You can follow Keith on X @keithraad and hear him live all season long on the Mets' broadcast. In this episode, we take a hard look at one of the most compelling—and confounding—teams in baseball. The 2025 Mets went from owning MLB's best record through mid-June to missing the postseason entirely, a collapse defined by bullpen fatigue, record-setting pitching turnover, and a clubhouse tested by adversity. Keith offers firsthand insight from the booth, breaking down what made the first-half magic so special, how Carlos Mendoza held the group together through the storm, and what lessons the team can carry forward into 2026. From there, we dig into the offseason storylines dominating Queens: the opt-outs of Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz, what their market value truly looks like, and whether David Stearns can retain both without compromising the organization's flexibility. We explore the reported “culture reset” and the trade chatter around Jeff McNeil, assessing how the front office might reshape this roster's identity around its long-term superstar core. Then we turn to the rotation and a rumor with real traction: Tarik Skubal. The 2024 AL Cy Young winner has been linked to the Mets amid uncertainty over his future in Detroit, and Ken Rosenthal recently called New York “the obvious team” if the Tigers can't extend him. Keith breaks down how that potential pursuit could affect the Mets' 2026 plans and whether Stearns might resist handing out long-term deals this winter to keep the door open for Skubal next year. Of course, the conversation also highlights the organization's young foundation—Mark Vientos, Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio, and arms like Brandon Sproat, Nolan McLean, and Jonah Tong—and what their continued growth could mean for a rotation in transition. Keith offers sharp in sight on Vientos' long-term potential, and how Soto's arrival has redefined the team's competitive identity. We close by revisiting a landmark moment in franchise history—the retirement of David Wright's No. 5—and hearing Keith's reflections on what that night symbolized for the organization and for a fanbase that still sees Wright as its moral compass. Finally, Keith shares what it means to be the voice behind a franchise now firmly entering the Juan Soto era, and what he hopes to deliver to Mets fans in 2026 and beyond. This is one episode you won't want to miss. Grab your headphones, settle in, and enjoy a conversation that captures the emotion, intelligence, and future of Mets baseball—right here on Tablesetters, where every inning tells a story and every pitch sets the stage for the game's greatest moments. And don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Twitter @tablesetterspod for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and interactive fan polls. We want to hear from you!

If global nuclear energy capacity is to at least triple by 2050 it is going to need huge, huge investment - estimates suggest $250billion a year for 25 years. So how will it be financed and what are the opportunities and challenges for financiers wanting to get involved? To find out more, host Alex Hunt is joined by World Nuclear Association's Lola Infante, Senior Programme Lead Economics and Finance, and David Stearns, nuclear finance advisor and consultant.They consider why nuclear projects have generally been state-financed in the past, and what the industry needs to do to ensure that it attracts private finance for future schemes, including "financing by design" where, as David puts it, "you embed and you write the financial coding at the same time that you're doing your site assessment, at the same time that you're checking your early stage regulatory approvals".There is discussion of the growing appetite by global investment banks and multilateral banks to invest in new nuclear and the challenges of structuring financing to ensure it is attractive despite the long timescales involved in planning, building and then operating a new nuclear power plant.They also provide insights into what has been learned so far from the Financing Nuclear Briefing series, which brings the nuclear industry and financiers together to discuss financing issues under Chatham House rules.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsInvestment decisions needed to avoid fuel cycle supply gaps'Difficult to overstate demand from institutional investors' for nuclearEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

Jerry's final update hit baseball first, with Max Fried and Garrett Crochet set for October starts and David Stearns owning up to a trade deadline flop. The Jets' Miami meltdown took center stage next—turnovers, flags, Glenn's frustration, and Cam Ward's blunt “we ass” summation, with Brandon Tierney saying he now “abhors football.” Michael Irvin blasted the Cowboys-Packers clock fiasco, and Gio's bizarre workout routine closed out the Moment of the Day.

The Jets got run over in Miami to drop to 0-4—penalties, turnovers, and Aaron Glenn's promised discipline nowhere to be found. Boomer says the Bengals are even worse, Tyreek Hill limped off with a busted knee, and Cam Ward summed it up best: “We ass.” Meanwhile, Brian Callahan clashed with a Titans reporter, David Stearns admitted to deadline whiffs, and Glenn was heard tearing into his team postgame—while a caller ripped Boomer for rocking Yankees gear.

The Jets hit rock bottom at 0-4 with fumbles, flags, and Cam Ward's blunt “we ass,” while Aaron Glenn keeps preaching discipline nobody sees. Boomer insists the Bengals are worse, but callers shredded Gang Green's effort and wondered why he was rocking a Yankees jersey. The Yanks–Sox rivalry loomed, Pete Alonso's future looked shaky, and David Stearns wore the blame for a failed deadline. AJ Brown posted cryptic Bible verses, C-Lo called in fiery to defend his name, and by the final hour we had Brandon Tierney “abhorring football,” Irvin ripping the clock, and Gio golfing to Slipknot. Pure New York chaos from start to finish.

David Stearns has met the media and we react to an off season awaiting the Mets

The Mets limped through a three-month collapse that Gio called ‘death by a thousand cuts.' Deadline moves flopped, and fans are ripping David Stearns for signing the wrong guys and letting others walk.

The Mets limped to the finish, shut out in Miami after a three-month collapse Gio called ‘death by a thousand cuts.' Fans ripped David Stearns, Soto called the season a failure, and Alonso is eyeing the exit. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart's grit carried the Giants past the Chargers, with Daboll praising his toughness as the cameras kept finding his mom in the stands.

The show was dominated by the Mets' season-ending collapse, with Boomer and Gio ripping the players, Carlos Mendoza's excuses, and David Stearns' moves while Soto called the year a failure and Alonso eyed the exit. The Yankees closed strong with a sweep, Ben Rice homers, and Aaron Judge winning the batting title, while Cohen's spending still left Mets fans embarrassed as Yankees fans laughed last. On the football side, Jaxson Dart's toughness lifted the Giants over the Chargers, Brian Daboll praised the win, and Malik Nabers' injury loomed large, while the Cowboys and Packers tied 40–40 and Sauce Gardner said the Jets are ready for Miami. The Ryder Cup brought ugly heckling Gio called a disaster, and the show wrapped with Bad Bunny being named Super Bowl halftime headliner — plus Dart's mom stealing Moment of the Day.
