From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): It's not a literal bag of balls, but it sure feels that way. Jeff McNeil has been shipped out to the Athletics along with $5.75M in cash for a 17 year old pitcher Yordan Rodriquez. While this sounds like a great move to get rid of more of the core, what are we doing in the outfield? Evan breaks it down!

Jerry and Willie Colon tackle a lot in New York sports, diving into the "stuck and miserable" reality of the Jets' locker room culture and the Giants' search for a new leader among candidates like Mike McCarthy and Brian Flores. Between reacting to the stunning Mets fire sale of Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso, the guys debate the future of Jaxson Dart, Carl Banks' frustrations with Big Blue, and Willie's pitch for a veteran bridge QB like Kyler Murray. From Brock Purdy's dominance and Philip Rivers' return and Jerry's shocking "Napoleon Dynamite" confession, this show covers everything from holiday festivities to the total teardown of local franchises.

Jerry and Willie dive into the holiday spirit, but the "Mets-mas" forecast looks bleak after the Jeff McNeil trade and Pete Alonso's departure. Should the Giants bench Jaxson Dart to protect their tank? Plus, Chad Ochocinco defends DK Metcalf after his fan-striking suspension.

Jerry and Willie kick off the hour debating the Giants' future, with Willie highlighting some prime candidates to lead the franchise. The conversation shifts from Brock Purdy's flawless performance to the dismantling of the Mets' roster, reacting to the Jeff McNeil trade and Steve Cohen's personal damage control regarding his recent tweets. Finally, the guys look ahead to the Jets' defensive coordinator search and share their strategies for surviving the heavy meals and workouts of the Christmas season.

The Mets traded Jeff McNeil to the A's. Jerry is still skeptical of the Mets offseason and letting Pete Alonso walk.

In this heated segment, Marc Malusis reacts to the New York Mets trading longtime infielder Jeff McNeil to the Oakland Athletics. While acknowledging the emotional toll on the fan base—especially following the departures of Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, and Edwin Díaz—Malusis refuses to "cry over McNeil." He delivers a blunt assessment of McNeil's regression, citing his obsession with launch angle and a dip in contact hitting as reasons why the "Squirrel" became expendable. More importantly, Moose challenges the front office's narrative that the 2025 season failed due to "clubhouse chemistry." He fires back with a reality check: the Mets failed because their pitching was "disastrous," and David Stearns is now gambling the franchise's future on "grinders" rather than proven stars.

In a blistering opening segment, Marc Malusis reacts to the "gutting" of the Mets' homegrown core following the trade of Jeff McNeil to the Oakland A's. Malusis pushes back hard on the narrative that "clubhouse chemistry" was the reason for the 2025 collapse, instead pointing the finger squarely at a disastrous pitching staff and a "leaky" organization. As David Stearns systematically replaces fan favorites like Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo with defensive "grinders" and reclamation projects, Malusis warns that the honeymoon is over: Stearns has officially molded this team in his own image, and in New York, his "vision" better result in wins—or he'll be the next one on the hot seat.

Join Raj (@rajmehta.ca) and Greg (@greghoogkamp) as they discuss the possibility MLB will regulate technology in the minor leagues, analyze the signings and trades from the past week and highlight news at Prospects Live.

In the “Pete Rose episode,” Dan Fox and Frank Knight open with baseball—and the conversation turns quickly into a full-on Mets identity check. With Pete Alonso gone, Nimmo traded for Marcus Semien, and Edwin Díaz landing with the Dodgers, Frank tries to keep the panic in check: it's “wait-and-see” season in Queens. The guys debate whether this is a strategic reset or the start of a rebuild, whether committee platoons (including Jeff McNeil) can really work, and whether the Mets should push hard for Juan Soto now or wait for free agency—assuming Uncle Stevie's wallet stays open.Over in Philly, Dan reacts to the Phillies bringing back Kyle Schwarber on a five-year deal, weighing the short-term upside (power, leadership, clubhouse presence) against the long-term risk of paying for past performance. Alan checks in on the Yankees' unusually quiet offseason, including the debate around keeping Cody Bellinger—a versatile glove with a left-handed swing made for the short porch.Then it's college football mayhem: Penn State's coaching change, Ole Miss fallout, Lane Kiffin's “big-leagues vs. king-of-the-program” decision, and the Michigan scandal that has everyone asking what the program does next. The crew also takes a hard shot at Notre Dame's independence, arguing you can't complain about playoff politics while refusing to join a conference.Finally, the episode closes with Fox Brothers Alarms, the empty inbox (again), a Survivor Pool update that now includes a Week 18 tiebreaker plan, and a pivot into the Week 14 NFL recap—anchored by a quick historical nod to December 7th as “a day that will live in infamy.”Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/Roof Top Innovations the leading Roofing Company in Waco, Tomball surrounding areasWe focus on all types of roofing systems, with a focus on the best quality possible.

Jeff McNeil's surgery is being forgotten.

BT & Sal kick off the show by celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Juan Soto signing, arguing that winning the offseason doesn't guarantee a successful season. The focus quickly shifts to the Winter Meetings and a report on David Stearns' reluctance to give out long-term deals to free agent starting pitchers. Sal defends Stearns' strategy, preferring to chase Tarik Skubal via trade or pursue Michael King over overpaying non-aces like Framber Valdez. The hosts debate whether the Mets can afford to lose Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz if Stearns' plan to build a "better" team doesn't include massive free-agent contracts. The conversation takes a sharp turn as they discuss the Diddy documentary on Netflix, with Sal questioning whether the hip-hop mogul was responsible for Tupac's death, and noting the lack of payment to artists. The show wraps up with calls debating the Mets' potential pursuit of Kyle Schwarber and Jeff McNeil's "petulant" behavior, with the hosts wondering if a new-look team could function without their "Core Four."

On this episode of MMO Weekly, Sal, Mathias and Chris Bello talk about the Mets signing of former Yankee Devin Williams, a possible trade of Jeff McNeil, Edwin Diaz and what Pete Alonso should expect on the open market!

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo react to the news that the Mets agreed to a deal with reliever Devin Williams, while delivering a full preview of next week's MLB Winter Meetings. First up, the guys look at the deal for Devin, including what it means for the Mets and the future of Edwin Diaz. Later, Connor and Joe dive into stories of friction in the Mets clubhouse, explore trade scenarios surrounding Kodai Senga, break down deals for Dylan Cease and Ryan Helsley, and go Down on the Farm in search of more relief help. The show wraps up with a Mailbag featuring questions about Tatsuya Imai, Juan Soto as DH, Luisangel Acuna, and more.

The offseason didn't take a warm-up lap — it jumped straight into real movement. Episode 120 starts with two Blind Rankings games: Devin puts together eight random free-agent tag teams, pairing two available players who would be a fun combo for any club to sign together, while Steve works through eight free-agent ballpark fits to see which hypothetical landing spots match the player's style, strengths, or vibe the best. No context, no reshuffling — just reaction. We also dig into the Nimmo–Semien trade, one of the more surprising one-for-one swaps in recent years. The Mets send Brandon Nimmo (plus $5M) to Texas for Marcus Semien, reshaping both teams in a pretty direct way. We look at why Nimmo approved the deal, how the Rangers shift their outfield with Carter and Langford, and why Semien fits exactly what the Mets want to emphasize — defense, reliability, and a more balanced lineup. It also raises real questions about New York's infield picture, from Jeff McNeil's role to Brett Baty to how soon Jett Williams forces his way into a spot. From there, we get into Sonny Gray's move to the Red Sox — a deal that accelerates Boston's push toward a stabilized, playoff-ready rotation — and Toronto's massive swing for Dylan Cease, handing out a franchise-record seven-year, $210 million contract to anchor the next era of the Jays' staff. And then there's Hal Steinbrenner, who stirred the week even further by suggesting the Yankees didn't turn a profit in 2025 and that reducing payroll would be “ideal.” We break down why those comments landed poorly, how they contrast with the Yankees' global financial footprint, and what it means for their offseason strategy. Once the trade, signing, and ownership reaction breaks wrap, it's Blind Rankings time: Devin's Free Agent Tag Teams: Two random free agents at a time, paired together like a package deal — who makes the best duo a team could sign this winter? Steve's Free Agent Ballpark Fits: Eight different free agents matched with eight different ballparks — which pairing feels right, and which ones fall flat? We close things out by talking about how this early wave of moves — the Nimmo–Semien blockbuster, Sonny Gray to Boston, the Cease mega-deal, and Hal's payroll posture — might shift the broader free-agent picture, especially for hitters like Pete Alonso, Kyle Tucker, and Cody Bellinger.

In this jam-packed episode, we break down the blockbuster trade sending Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for All-Star second baseman Marcus Semien. What does this mean for the Mets' infield and lineup construction? Could Jeff McNeil be the next piece to move as the front office reshapes the roster?We also explore why Cody Bellinger might be the perfect fit in Queens and how his versatility and lefty power could elevate the Mets' outfield. Plus, we touch on the latest buzz surrounding reliever Robert Suarez and what his potential addition could mean for the bullpen.Tune in for sharp analysis, bold predictions, and all the latest Mets hot stove action!Follow on INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE & X: @cupofmetsSubscribe on SPOTIFY, APPLE or wherever you get your favorite podcasts!Download The SeatGeek App!

BT & Sal dissect the shocking, confirmed trade of Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. Sal hails the trade as an "awesome move," proving the Mets are finally ready to build the right way and focus on run prevention, given Nimmo's declining defense, poor arm, and lower-extremity injuries. BT argues that the move was necessary to upgrade the defense and frees up the DH spot, making it mandatory for the Mets to now re-sign Pete Alonso to replace the lost offensive power. They debate the trade's immediate impact (Nimmo for Semien is a defensive upgrade at second base, setting up Jeff McNeil to be traded) and what the next move must be: acquiring a top outfielder (Bellinger or Tucker) to fill Nimmo's spot. The hosts praise David Stearns' "gutsy, bold" decision to move past the core's sentimental value.

BT and Sal discuss Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns' recent press conference, where he acknowledged the team "can't run it back" and was transparent about the Brandon Nimmo trade. While both hosts appreciate Stearns' conviction, the conversation turns fiery over Stearns' statement about using young internal options like Carson Benge and Jett Williams, along with Jeff McNeil, to fill the vacated outfield spots. Sal argues that given the Mets are trying to win now, they "can't take a chance in center field" with unproven prospects, citing the Yankees' struggles with Volpe as a cautionary tale. BT, however, argues that every good team relies on young players and the Mets would be "stupid" to plug two outfield holes and block their kids. They debate the need for a "big outfielder" acquisition like Bellinger while keeping one spot open for the youth movement.
