On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo welcome the official beginning of the offseason, as the 2026 Mets begin to take shape. First up, the guys recap the World Series and look for lessons to learn from the Dodgers success, then discuss the free agencies of Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, the return of A.J. Minter, as well as the prospect of Justin Willard as the team's new pitching coach.  Then, Connor and Joe do a deep dive into several free agent options for the Mets in the position player group. The show then goes Down on the Farm for a report on pitcher Jonathan Santucci, and answers Mailbag questions about the bullpen, the Dodgers being a threat to sign Diaz, trading for Vinnie Pasquantino, pursuing Alex Bregman and Josh Naylor, and which Mets player should enter the tournament to be John Cena's final opponent in WWE.

The Cincinnati Reds won the 1975 World Series in a classic 7-game matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The recent Dodgers victory over the Blue Jays is being argued as maybe the best Fall Classic ever, but that '75 Series saw the Reds come from behind to win all 4 of their games, including 4-3 in Game 7 at Fenway Park. The Reds had a team littered with Hall of Famers. Tony Perez, Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench as well as *Pete Rose were part of what was known as the Big Red Machine. They could do it all… Power, speed, average,, defense… the one thing they couldn't do was win the big one. They lost to Baltimore in 5 games in 1970… to the A's in 7 in 1972… to the Mets in the NLCS in '73 and didn't even make the playoffs in '74. But a bloop single by Joe Morgan in the 9th inning brought in the winning run for the Reds who won their first World Series title since 1940!  A year later, they did it again, sweeping the Yankees to make it two straight championships for the Reds. Cincinnati was the toast of baseball and the Big Red Machine was now legendary. 50 years later we're still talking about that team and how good they were and nobody knows them better than Dr. Daryl Smith who currently serves as a Management professor at Cedarville University in Ohio.  Previously, Daryl served as an Air Force office and pilot over a 24 year career.   Much of his academic studies and research have centered on leadership and its role in organizational success.  He has been trained to find the root causes of organizations' successes and failures.   Daryl has a long association with the Cincinnati Reds.  As a boy, he attended several games at Crosley Field, the first game at Riverfront Stadium and the 1970, 1972, and 1975 World Series.  Twenty years ago, Daryl met and became acquainted with Bob Howsam, the brains behind the Big Red Machine and the central figure in his book, “Making the Big Red Machine: Bob Howsam and the Cincinnati Reds of the 1970's." Daryl talks to us about the small trade that became a huge deal when Howsam acquired the diminutive Morgan from Houston. He tells us how Cincy thought he was crazy to give up so much for the future 2-time MVP. He recalls how Manager Sparky Anderson moved Rose to 3rd base and how that changed the course of history for the team. And he tells how free agency and one trade prior to the 1977 season put an end to the greatest team in Reds history. November 3rd, 1975 saw Will McEnaney leaping into the arms of Johnny Bench after winning the greatest World Series ever played and Professor Smith helps us replay that Series one last time on the Past Our Prime podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices.

After it looked like the Blue Jays might indeed save baseball, Bobby and Alex unfortunately have to report live from the front lines of the Dodgers ENDING the sport. A wild Game 7 that saw a myriad of opportunities for the Jays ends in heartbreak, and the Dodgers are the first team to go back-to-back in a quarter century. The boys are joined by Good Friend of the Show Steve Sladkowski, who was in the building, to eulogize the 2025 Blue Jays.Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

Cricket's for the birds. It's October (or was October as of pressing) and the only bats that belong within spitting distance of Capitol Records are made in Louisville right in the heart of the ol' U.S. of A. To celebrate the end of another season of America's pastime, somehow currently dominated by Canadians (#2025), T.J. and Tony resurrect Producer Casey's most confusing episode concept: THE BEATLE BATTING ORDER — this time constructing their lineups exclusively from stateside releases. Between mouthfuls of peanuts and Cracker Jacks, we wonder: ⚾️ ❄ Is Paul actually a Mets fan, or is Darryl Strawberry just his dealer? ⚾️

Big shakeup in broadcasting: John Flaherty won't be renewed at YES Network after 20 years — a move being called cost-cutting. Meanwhile, Keith Hernandez is angling for another three-year deal at SNY.

Despite previously reported fears that baseball, unfortunately, was over, the Toronto Blue Jays are merely one win away from reviving the sport. Behind an unprecedented start from Trey Yesavage and stellar performances up and down their lineup, the Jays (America's Team) have weathered an 18-inning loss and a Yoshi Yamamoto complete game. Will they finish off the super team Dodgers? Using their trademark hard-hitting analysis, Bobby and Alex answer your burning questions about The FALL CLASSIC.Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo talk old and new coaches, plus the Mets forever search for starting pitching.

Connor and Joe then dive into the free agent market for starting pitchers, considering such options as Dylan Cease, Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez and more. The show then goes Down on the Farm for a report on reliever Dylan Ross, and answers Mailbag questions about Brandon Sproat, first base trade options if needed, targeting Twins hurler Pablo Lopez as a trade possibility, and a new contract for Edwin Diaz.

The New York Giants got cheated by the referees against the Eagles in Week 8 — and lost Cam Skattebo to a gruesome ankle injury. Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch recaps the carnage in Philly, vents about the officiating insanity (is the NFL rigged?!), and looks ahead to a winnable home matchup vs the underwhelming 49ers in Week 9. Can Jaxson Dart keep the offense alive without his top two playmakers? Will the defense stop sleepwalking? And when can we move on from this coaching staff?

BT and Sal dive into the drama of the World Series following an unbelievable 18-inning marathon, with Sal arguing that baseball provides "more drama and more moments of suspense than any other sport." BT pushes back, criticizing the late start times that keep kids and many fans from witnessing these epic moments live. The hosts pivot to the New York teams, with the Yankees facing a decision on Giancarlo Stanton's complicating contract, and a call for the Mets to make tough, smart choices by moving on from players like Pete Alonso (to DH) and Brandon Nimmo to build a more well-rounded, defensive team that can win a championship.

BT & Sal lock horns over the news that Antoan Richardson, the Mets' first base coach, may leave after contract talks stalled due to his desire for an expanded role. Sal passionately defends Richardson, calling him the "best first base coach in baseball" and highlighting his historic 89% stolen base success rate with the Mets, a stat Juan Soto directly credited him for. BT, however, dismisses the hysteria, arguing that a first base coach is irrelevant to a team's success and calling the reaction "blown out of proportion." The debate also touches on whether Richardson's base-stealing genius is simply a temporary "exploitation" of the current defensive ineptitude and the larger issue of Carlos Mendoza being left isolated as the entire Mets' coaching staff shifts around him.

BT & Sal dive into the latest round of "Bald Face Lie, Bald Face Truth" with Hoff, delivering scorching takes on New York sports and beyond. The three bold statements under the microscope are: Just like last year, the Knicks will have five guys finish in the top twenty with minutes played. (BT says Truth, Sal says Lie, arguing the Hot Hand will be ridden, but overall minutes will recalibrate.) Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber will both be returning to the Phillies next season. (Sal says Truth, refusing to believe Philly lets Schwarber walk; BT says Lie, predicting Schwarber is gone over a rich contract and Bregman-to-Mets discussion.) The Rangers will find a way to trade Panarin and/or Mika Zibanejad. (Both say Truth, citing the team's "disgusting" start and Sal's theory that new coach Sullivan was hired to make the star duo uncomfortable enough to leave.)

BT & Sal launch a fiery critique on the Mets and Yankees, arguing they are light years behind the Dodgers who combine aggressive spending (Ohtani, Yamamoto, Snell) with smart trading. They challenge New York to be "great, not just good" by flexing their financial muscle in multiple ways. The debate centers on the Mets' J.T. Ginn McLain dilemma: is he an untouchable asset, or should they trade him for an immediate ace like Skubal? Plus, NFL insider Jordan Schultz's report on the Giants potentially trading Kayvon Thibodeaux sparks a discussion on helping Jackson Dart's development. Fan legend John Minko joins the show to share his bittersweet retirement story and a wild tale about being eyed as a "corporate spy" when WFAN began. Then, NFL analyst Brian Baldinger breaks down Dexter Lawrence's underwhelming performance and why the Giants must get a receiver to help Dart.

BT & Sal torch the Yankees and Mets for their reluctance to spend and acquire talent like the Los Angeles Dodgers, who relentlessly add superstars like Ohtani and Yamamoto. They demand both New York teams "go all in" this offseason, aggressively pursuing trade targets like Tarik Skubal and Kyle Tucker to compete with LA's "better, smarter, and wealthier" brand. The hosts debate the logistical and brand reasons why Japanese stars now favor the Dodgers over the Yankees. Sal and BT rave about baseball's immense drama, reflecting on the previous night's 18-inning marathon, before wrapping up with a fun discussion about their viral interview with actress Sydney Sweeney—and the unimpressed reactions of their spouses!

We end the day with a little trade talk for Giants and Jets plus a caller brings up the ESPN NBA controversy.
