Boomer insists Pete Alonso is the biggest winner in the Díaz exit, forcing the Mets to now pay him at any cost and sign multiple free agents. The fallout is instant: Jerry returns with Frank The Tank going ballistic on Edwin Díaz, while one analyst puts all the blame squarely on the closer, not the Mets. Finally, a shocking NFL confession: former Charger Quentin Jammer admits he played drunk in eight games during a difficult divorce.
The Mets fanbase is melting down over Edwin Díaz signing with the Dodgers, a move Boomer paradoxically believes guarantees they'll sign Pete Alonso, while the industry fears the Dodgers' spending power is so dominant it will force an MLB lockout in 2027. Díaz ultimately "didn't want to be here," giving the Mets a small shield from the chaos.
The hour opens with a bizarre suggestion: Bringing in Peter Schwartz for a "muckbang" featuring mozzarella sticks. The focus quickly snaps back to the Mets meltdown, as a barrage of calls debates who is to blame for losing Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers. In the final update, we hear Evan Roberts' furious reaction to the move and David Stearns' non-committal answer on Pete Alonso. The action isn't just baseball—get a classic soundbite from agent Scott Boras, hear Vernon Maxwell call out the "dirty" old Utah Jazz, and catch the setup for this weekend's legendary Army/Navy game.
The hour kicks off with Boomer hilariously comparing the band GWAR to the Ninja Turtles and Kiss. Then, a caller brings the focus back to Mets anxiety: losing homegrown Pete Alonso would hurt worse than any free-agent miss. As Boomer assures listeners the Mets will spend, Jerry returns with an update featuring Sal Licata shouting "Good Riddance" to Edwin Díaz and an infuriated Frank The Tank. Closing the hour, Troy Aikman blasts the state of NIL, revealing he's "done" giving money after not even receiving a thank you note. Utah sells a piece of its athletic department to a private equity firm.
Mets fans are reacting to Edwin Díaz's move to the Dodgers yet Boomer is hyper-confident the Mets will now secure Pete Alonso despite insider whispers he's a "goner." This Dodger dominance leads to a guarantee of an MLB lockout in 2027. Then, Evan Roberts' furious reaction to Díaz's departure. Plus, Philip Rivers is shockingly back on the Colts practice squad, the Knicks advanced in the NBA Cup, and Boomer closes the hour by predicting the Mets will not only keep Alonso but also add a big names.
The show is dominated by the fallout from Edwin Díaz signing with the Dodgers, a move Gio claims has Mets fans reacting as if they lost Tom Seaver. Boomer, remaining confident, insists the Mets must—and will—sign Pete Alonso to a massive deal now, making the Polar Bear the "biggest winner" in the situation. This spending divide leads to a dire prediction: a guaranteed MLB lockout in 2027 due to the Dodgers' unmatched financial power. Fan fury is palpable with audio from a livid Evan Roberts and an emphatic "Good Riddance" from Sal Licata, while Frank The Tank vents his rage. Beyond baseball, the show dives into shocking NFL admissions: former Charger Quentin Jammer admits to playing drunk in eight games during his divorce, and the Philip Rivers signing to the Colts' practice squad causes a stir. We even have time for muckbanging ideas for Peter Schwartz.
We took a bunch of calls on Edwin Diaz signing with the Dodgers instead of the Mets and who's to blame.
Jerry returns with the final update highlighting the Dodgers' reliever needs met by signing Edwin Díaz and playing Evan Roberts' livid reaction. Mets President David Stearns faced the inevitable question: will losing Díaz affect the push to sign Pete Alonso? Meanwhile, Scott Boras provided a classic soundbite, calling Ranger Suarez “armed and rangerous." Add to that a Moment of the Day featuring Al trying to name more than a few Utah Jazz players of all time.
Boomer declares Pete Alonso the biggest winner in the Edwin Díaz saga, asserting the Mets now must sign the Polar Bear at any cost and will add at least two more big free agents.
Jerry is back with an update full of Mets venom, featuring an emotional Sal Licata saying "Good Riddance" to Edwin Díaz, while Frank The Tank vents his rage over the team's direction. Plus, baseball super-agent Scott Boras drops his signature wordplay about his client, pitcher Tarik Skubal, and the NFL's biggest surprise of the day: the Colts shockingly signed Philip Rivers to their practice squad.
Boomer all but guarantees that the Mets will spend the money in the off-season and Gio thinks Devin Williams will have a better season than Edwin Diaz.
Jerry's update starts with Boomer believing the Mets will now overpay Pete Alonso following the Kyle Schwarber deal, a view Gio strongly disputes. This financial debate provides the backdrop for Jerry's audio of Evan Roberts' meltdown over Edwin Díaz joining the Dodgers.
