Sal and BT dove into the breaking news that the New York Mets have begun making changes to their coaching staff following a massively disappointing season. The co-hosts expressed relief and approval that third base coach Mike Sarbaugh was not being brought back, with Sal openly celebrating his poor base-running decisions throughout the year. The discussion also touched upon veteran coach John Gibbons electing to step away, citing a need for "new blood," which Sal felt hinted at deeper issues within the clubhouse. The hosts agreed that more changes are needed and debated the extent to which Manager Carlos Mendoza should be allowed to choose his new staff, given the pressure he faces going into his third year.
Sal and BT dissect the Yankees' Wild Card win, arguing that while Aaron Boone caught an unfair "bad rap" for his managerial decisions (which BT defends), the victory and Cam Schlittler's dominance likely saved his job. The conversation then pivots to an intense New York sports weekend, with BT and Sal debating which Sunday football game demands more attention: the Giants' home opener against the Chiefs or the "LOL Jets" hosting the Cowboys, with BT admitting he'll likely be distracted by the Yankees' first ALDS game. Finally, they briefly cheer the Mets' move to fire third base coach Mike Sarbaugh and acknowledge John Gibbons' exit, agreeing that after a disastrous season, coaching changes were necessary.

Guest: Blue Jays Associate Manager DeMarlo Hale The Blue Jays are going into the season's final weekend having clinched a playoff spot but not knowing whether they'll be the first, second or fourth seed in the American League. The only thing that's assured is that they will open the playoffs at home, whether that's in the wild card round or with a first-round bye. We talk to Jays' associate manager DeMarlo Hale about a wild week in which the Jays won just twice in eight tries and were almost swept by both Kansas City and Boston. Hale, who was John Gibbons' bench coach with the Jays in their 2015 and '16 playoff runs, and also coached in post-seasons under Terry Francona and Buck Showalter, weighs in on the playoffs to come, on the Jays sputtering to the finish line and on all the recent controversies with umpires and replay reviews. Also, we open the mailbag and take about a dozen of your questions, most of which have to do with the playoff roster and starting rotation. And thoughts on DFAing Alek Manoah.

Guests: Blue Jays home run leader George Springer, New York Mets bench coach John Gibbons and starting pitcher Jonah Tong September is upon us and the tension of the pennant race has ratcheted up. George Springer knows all about it, having played on three straight division winners with the Houston Astros and he is off to a tremendous September start, with three home runs and a 2.031 OPS to begin the month. Having moved into second place in the American League in OPS, behind only the Yankees' Aaron Judge, Springer joins us to talk about his incredible resurgence this season and what the Jays need to do down the stretch to take the division crown. John Gibbons was the Jays' manager the last time the team won the AL East, in 2015, and the current bench coach of the New York Mets, who hold the final wild card spot in the National League. We chat with Gibby about his memories of the Jays' great run when he was at the helm, as well as some of the challenges facing the current team. As always, Gibby is the best. Finally, Jonah Tong makes his first appearance in Deep Left Field. The 22-year-old Markham, Ontario native began his career with a win in his major league debut on August 29. The former Toronto Met who was the 75th-best prospect in the game going into this season according to Baseball Prospectus, made a meteoric rise through the New York Mets' system this year, posting a 1.43 ERA in 22 starts at Double-A and Triple-A combined with 179 strikeouts in just 113 2/3 innings.
