BT & Sal dive into a fiery debate over the Yankees and Mets' intertwined offseason, focusing on a direct clash for Cody Bellinger and the closer market (Edwin Diaz vs. Devin Williams). Sal argues the Mets must pursue Bellinger and go "pedal to the metal," while BT has more faith in Brian Cashman's urgency than David Stearns' willingness to spend like a big-market GM. The Mets' need for a "shake up" dominates the conversation, with discussion of trading Senga (despite the desperate need for pitching) and moving core players like McNeil, Nimmo, Baty, and Vientos—the guys Sal is "tired of waiting on." The segment concludes with BT teasing his "Grand Slam Mets Offseason" plan, a four-component blueprint he believes would make the Mets World Series contenders.
BT and Sal unleash a fiery debate over Sal's "home run blueprint" for the Mets' perfect offseason, which centers on trading for ace Tarik Skubal, signing a frontline starter like Ranger Suarez (while Sal dismisses Dylan Cease as "just another dude"), and re-signing Pete Alonso—especially since he's open to DH. The discussion heats up as they clash over the realism of acquiring Skubal and the $400 million contract that would follow. Sal pushes for a big bat like Bellinger, Tucker, or Bregman to complete the lineup, leading to a controversial take: is trading Nimmo the better long-term move if it means keeping a DH-capable Alonso and improving the overall team defense? The stakes are high for David Stearns and Steve Cohen to execute a massive overhaul.
Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski are back to discuss all of the news and rumors for the New York Mets heading into next season. With rumors swirling after the GM meetings, who will still be a Met in 2026? Could key members of the core be traded?

BT & Sal dive into Jeff Passan's comprehensive MLB offseason preview, discussing the hot rumors and high-stakes free agency decisions facing the New York clubs. For the Mets, the news is dominated by David Stearns's radical overhaul, with star players like Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga all deemed "extremely available." The hosts are energized by the possibility of the Mets pursuing a powerhouse bullpen, pairing Devin Williams with Edwin Diaz, while Sal remains convinced Pete Alonso will ultimately stay, despite the Red Sox's heavy interest in both Pete and Alex Bregman. For the Yankees, the big question is whether Trent Grisham will accept the Qualifying Offer, which BT hopes he rejects to avoid "complicating the future." The two clash over the handling of Jasson Dominguez, with BT arguing the Yankees need to get an answer on their young players at the Major League level, while Sal believes the Martian needs more time in the minors to fully develop and find a position. The segment also notes that both the Mets and Yankees are currently in the mix for star outfielder Kyle Tucker.
BT & Sal dive into the shocking report from Jeff Passan that the Mets are "blowing up plenty" of their roster, potentially making Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga available for trade. The fiery discussion focuses heavily on Pete Alonso's future, as an industry source suggests the Mets' maximum offer is a "disrespectful" 2+1 deal at around $30 million per year. Sal argues that while Alonso deserves more than the recently signed Naylor, the Mets must resist paying $30M/year over six seasons. They debate whether Steve Cohen will override GM David Stearns to keep the fan favorite. The show also touches on potential additions like Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker and starts with a quick rant about the Giants' lack of accountability after Abdul Carter's discipline issues and the team's ongoing "sloppiness."
BT & Sal ignite the debate over Pete Alonso's future with the Mets, reacting fiercely to an industry rumor suggesting the team's max offer might be a "disrespectful" two-plus-one-year deal. They question whether owner Steve Cohen will intercede to secure the fan-favorite slugger and explore a major report that the Mets are ready to "blow up" the roster, making established players like Nimmo and McNeil available for trade. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins the show to unleash on the Giants' dysfunction. Baldy calls out injured running back Cam Skattebo's bizarre appearance and physical involvement at Monday Night Raw and slams rookie Abdul Carter's repeated unexcused absences, highlighting the team's critical lack of veteran leadership. Baldy also breaks down the AFC power rankings (leaning toward Baltimore) and praises the Jets' decision to play Tyrod Taylor to assess their young receiving talent.
BT & Sal dive deep into the MLB free agency landscape, using a Gemini-AI generated cliff notes version of a lengthy Jeff Passan article to hit the main points. They discuss the Mets' apparent willingness to trade almost anyone (Nimmo, McNeil, Senga, etc.) and the Yankees' dilemma over Trent Grisham's qualifying offer, with Sal arguing the move complicates the future of prospects like Dominguez. The "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" segment heats up with: The Mets Roster & AI: Will David Stearns use AI to build the team? (BT says Lie, Sal says Truth on its use). The Quick Attack: Did Jonathan Quick have the right to attack Mason Appleton for shooting the puck after the horn? (They both say Truth, respecting the unwritten rule). Nets Stink: Will the Nets win less than 10 games? (Sal says Truth, showing his disdain for the team). Finally, an industry source drops a bombshell, suggesting it's "very unlikely" Pete Alonso returns to the Mets, with the Angels being eyed as the "stupid team to overpay." The conversation concludes with a bizarre debate about the lack of urinal dividers at Citi Field and MetLife.
BT & Sal tear into the New York Giants' toxic culture after injured RB Cam Skattebo (on a scooter!) and reprimanded rookie Abdul Carter got physical in a WWE Monday Night Raw segment. They slam the team's "lawless" behavior and lack of self-awareness. The action shifts to MLB Free Agency with a bombshell report: an industry source says a Pete Alonso return is "very unlikely," predicting the Mets' lowball offer will send him to the "stupid team" (Angels). Furthermore, a new report confirms the Mets are ready to "blow up" the roster, making stars like Nimmo and Senga available for trade. The "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" segment debates everything from AI-built Mets rosters to Jonathan Quick's justifiable hockey violence. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins to pile on the Giants' dysfunction, and finally, wrestling legend Natalya Neidhart shares raw, powerful stories from her new book, The Last Hart Beating, about her father's CTE, family homelessness, and fighting for a spot in WWE.
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 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.

Lisa and Russell were alarmed to find that W.A has the highest amount of drowning rates in the country so they've started a campaign to re-educate us all about the dangers of getting into the water whether that be at the beach or your backyard pool. This morning they spoke to Lauren Nimmo from Royal Lifesaving W.A about those alarming rates, why they'r on the increase and the thing we can do to try to stop the rate getting even higher this summer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
SNY and WFAN's Sal Licata joins Kelley Franco for a no-holds-barred dive into Mets offseason mayhem. Should the Mets blow up the Big Four at the top of the lineup, and trade Lindor or Nimmo? Is Pete Alonso worth the money and the years he is demanding? From bold offseason proposals to behind-the-scenes coaching shakeups (is Kai Correa the manager-in-waiting?), nothing's off-limits. Plus: Reaction to Boone and Cashman's end-of-season ho-hum presser, with injury news on Volpe, Rodón, Cole, and Schmidt. And then Sal and Kelley play the first ever recorded (we think) game show of “guess the al dente cooking time of this pasta shape”. Of course, Sal closes the show by telling us….what's good to eat while watching the ballgame. Don't miss this episode!Follow me on YouTube, X and IG: @threeinningfan*Music by Podington Bear
Sal and BT opened by roasting the Mets for their catastrophic failure, pointing out the dark irony that the Detroit Tigers had a historic 15.5-game division lead collapse but still made the playoffs with 87 wins, while the Mets, despite their massive payroll, talent, and far lesser collapse, are sitting at home. They praised David Stearns' self-aware plan to fix the Mets' poor defense, even suggesting major moves like making Pete Alonso a primary DH or trading Lindor or Nimmo to upgrade the roster. The discussion then turned to the Jets, with a caller arguing the team has "no horses" (talent), a point BT fiercely debated. Finally, they covered the Yankees' playoff lineup, debating the controversial decision to bench Ben Rice against a tough lefty, despite his "elite offensive player" potential, due to defensive concerns at first base and catcher.
Sal and BT, frustrated by the Mets' underperformance, declare that the team's core simply "didn't work" and needs a dramatic shakeup. While both agree Pete Alonso must be re-signed as a potent DH/First Baseman, they argue that Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo should be put on the trade block. Sal specifically targets trading Lindor, despite his star power, to ditch the hefty contract and change the team's "entire dynamics," while BT agrees the core players don't complement each other and the whole nucleus needs to be blown up.
Jets face the Dolphins Monday night with both teams desperate to avoid 0-4, putting heat on Tua and McDaniel. A caller ripped the Giants for signing Wilson after already adding Jameis. Jerry's update featured Mets drama — Nimmo tying it, Alvarez winning it — and a wild “cream pie” slip. The hour wrapped with Gary Cohen's Cubs comments and another fight over “control your own destiny.”
Jaxson Dart gets the Giants' start, and Boomer says the rookie pressure is real — but he loves Dart's attitude. Jerry's update kicks off with Ian Poulter ripping U.S. golf fans, then Mets heroics from Nimmo and Alvarez, and the Yankees clinching a playoff spot. The Guardians leap the Tigers and a caller wonders if Indy will pay Daniel Jones.
Sal and BT dissected the Mets' massive comeback win, a game that saw them rally from a 6-1 deficit against the Cubs. BT was energized, declaring that the dramatic victory, highlighted by home runs from Nimmo and Alvarez, has secured the Mets' spot in the playoffs. In fiery contrast, Sal remained utterly unfooled, pointing out that the team's continuous issues—awful starting pitching, sloppy defense, and heavy reliance on the bullpen—mean the season is still an "epic failure" and they're just barely postponing the inevitable. Despite the win, Sal's faith in the Mets is broken, while BT sees the crucial, character-defining nature of the victory.
Brandon Nimmo's 3-Run home run tied it up for the Mets and Cubs in the 5th inning, and gave the Mets a chance for a later comeback. Nimmo speaks with Keith Raad after the 9-7 Mets win.
The Mets handled business on a Thursday afternoon at Citi Field, beating the Padres 6–1 behind a sharp rebound from rookie Jonah Tong and home runs from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo. Tong struck out eight over five innings and allowed just one run as New York clinched the series and widened its cushion for the NL's final Wild Card spot. Alonso homered in the first (his fourth straight game with a HR) and later added a sac fly, while Nimmo broke it open with a three-run shot in the third. With the win, the Mets are 79–74—two games up in the Wild Card race—with nine games remaining. #Mets #LGM #MetsWin #MetsNation #NYM #MetsBaseball #PeteAlonso #BrandonNimmo #JonahTong #CitiField #MetsVsPadres #MetsHighlights #MLB #MLBPlayoffs #MLBWildcard #Baseball #MLB2025 #LetsGoMets #QueensBaseball #NewYorkSports #LockedUpSports
Sal and BT's "Call of the Day" centered on a quote from Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo, where he claimed other teams were "hoping we don't make the playoffs" because they don't want to see the Mets in October. The hosts took Nimmo to task for what they saw as a delusional and dangerous mindset, arguing that it shows the team is not taking their current struggles seriously. Sal and BT said the quote revealed a "fatalistic" attitude where the team believes they can just "turn it on" when the playoffs arrive, a belief that is not supported by their recent poor play. They argued that this lack of urgency is the very reason the Mets are in danger of missing the playoffs in the first place.
Brandon Nimmo chats with Pat McCarthy ahead of the Mets-Phillies game on Wednesday night. Nimmo talks about the race for the playoffs and the recent cold stretch for the Mets offense.
Hour 1 Boomer and Gio are concerned about Kodai Senga's performance and suggest David Peterson as the Mets' playoff ace. Jerry's update covers the Yankees' win over the Rays, the Mets' loss (Senga gave up 4 earned runs, Nimmo left with a stiff neck), "What is Anthony Gallo Talking About?", a bullet through Andy Reid's office window last year, and Sachia Vickery's $1,000 pre-date deposit on OnlyFans. Hour 2 The hour began with a discussion about Tom Brady's golf course venture and his son. Dan in Carteret called to discuss the new Bengals stadium, but instead mocked Boomer's head size. NFL trades were a topic, as was a caller's frustration about not acknowledging Robert Plant's birthday. Another caller questioned why all WFAN hosts vacation in the summer. Jerry's update started with the Yankees beating the Rays, hitting five more home runs. Jose Caballero's ejection and post-game comments were covered. Kodai Senga's rough outing in the Mets' loss to DC was discussed, along with Mendoza's comments. Myles Garrett avoided talking about his speeding ticket, and the Micah Parsons situation in Dallas remained unresolved. The hour concluded with the social media buzz around Cracker Barrel's logo change, with many perceiving them as "woke" due to the new logo and interior changes. Hour 3 We began discussing the Giants' improved optimism this season due to positional upgrades. Boomer stressed the importance of Russell Wilson avoiding turnovers and the defense creating them, unlike last season. Adam Schein will do Sunday highlights on CBS, not the highly paid talent. Jerry returned for an update, but first, someone made him t-shirts with his death-related sayings. The Yankees beat the Rays with 5 more homers. We then discussed the slang term 'NPC'. The hour concluded with a discussion on Phil Mickelson and those who believe he 'ruined golf'. Hour 4 Bubba Wallace in-studio, Boomer compares NASCAR to LIE driving. Jerry's final update: Yankees beat Rays with Stanton's tenth-inning pinch-hit HR. Ohtani hit in thigh by line drive. Jets held a players-only practice, overseen by Aaron Glenn. Moment of The Day: host struggles with 'depth'. Jordan Davis calls in to discuss Cracker Barrel.
Boomer and Gio are concerned about Kodai Senga's performance and suggest David Peterson as the Mets' potential playoff ace. Jerry's update includes Yankees' victory over Rays, Mets' loss to Nationals (Senga gave up 4 earned runs), and Brandon Nimmo's neck injury. Also, a bizarre story about a bullet in Andy Reid's office and a tennis player on OnlyFans requiring a $1,000 pre-date deposit.
Today marks the second consecutive joint practice for the Jets and Giants, following an uneventful session yesterday. Keith expresses optimism for both local teams, highlighting the real hype for Abdul Carter and anticipating improved QB play for the Giants. He also views Aaron Glenn as a significant upgrade at HC for the Jets, expecting surprises this season. C-Mac believes the Giants' pass rush could be dominant. Keith favors Justin Fields more than most. C-Lo's update covers Brandon Nimmo saving the Mets after Clay Holmes' near-spoil of Pete Alonso's big night, and Aaron Judge's quick response to an early Yankees deficit, complemented by Giancarlo Stanton's four-hit, monstrous home run. The hour concludes with C-Mac reciting Jack Nicholson's "A Few Good Men" monologue before he and Keith discuss the Yankees, with Keith doubting a run but C-Mac asserting its possibility.

Sal Licata tore into the Mets for their "Fab Four" promotion, calling it a blatant overstatement of the team's talent. He argued that the team's promotional poster, showing Lindor, Soto, Alonso, and Nimmo in a Beatles-esque pose, is misleading because the team is truly only built around two or two-and-a-half players at best. While acknowledging the individual talent of Soto and Lindor, Sal pointed out that Nimmo and Alonso haven't consistently performed at the same elite level, making the "Fab Four" label a promotional gimmick that doesn't reflect the team's on-field reality. This, he claimed, is another example of the Mets' front office getting ahead of themselves with marketing rather than focusing on building a truly dominant, cohesive team.

Sal is not mincing words, slamming the Mets' inconsistent offense as the team's most significant hurdle to a successful postseason run. He argues that while many point to the starting rotation as the primary issue, the real problem lies with the team's core hitters—specifically Alonso, Lindor, and Nimmo. According to Sal, these players must perform consistently in high-stakes situations, or the Mets have no chance of advancing in the playoffs. He points to the team's struggles with runners in scoring position as a damning symptom of a deeper, more fundamental flaw in their offensive approach, a flaw that he believes must be fixed if they have any hope of winning it all.

The prodigal son returns—Farace is back behind the mic and instantly claims credit for the Mets' latest turnaround. Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (as always, holding things down behind the wall) join him for another jam-packed episode, and the Mets have actually given them something to smile about heading into the All-Star break.First up: David Peterson is officially an All-Star, joining Edwin Diaz, Lindor, and Alonso on the NL squad—because nothing says “2024 Mets” like David Peterson with an ASG patch. Meanwhile, the biggest snub in baseball? Juan Soto, and you can expect a full-blown Farace rant aimed straight at Michael Kay, who just can't let go and still monitors Soto like he's waiting for him to put on pinstripes again. Michael, buddy, it's over. Let it go.The Mets just took 2 of 3 from both the Brewers and the Yankees at Citi Field, then split the first two in Baltimore to start the road trip. Offense is finally waking up—especially the Fab Four of Nimmo, Lindor, Soto, and Alonso, who are all starting to heat up and look dangerous in the lineup.On the mound, reinforcements are coming: Senga and Manaea are both set to return this weekend, and the rotation is finally getting healthy at the right time. The crew will debate—do you trade Starling Marte or keep the outfield depth for the stretch run? With the Royals up next and the All-Star break just around the corner, the boys have plenty to dig into.Expect dry humor, a little therapy for Keith's stats addiction, Producer Joe's random hot takes, and Rodriguez demanding respect for the Citi Field crowd. Farace will probably find a way to make it all about himself—and Michael Kay. Let's put it in the books—no Yankee tears allowed. #PiitB #PutItInTheBooks #Mets
Jerry starts with the Knicks hiring Mike Brown. The Yankees losing in Toronto again. They came all the way back from down 8-0 to tie it 9-9 and then Devin Williams ruined it. The Mets beat the Brewers in game 2 as Nimmo hit a grand slam and Lindor went back to back with a HR. Lindor talked about being named an All Star starter.
In the second hour of the show, Sal dives deep into the struggles of New York's major sports teams, particularly the Yankees and Mets. He dissects the Yankees' perennial issues with team construction and player development, strongly criticizing their front office's perceived complacency and outdated approach. Sal also tackles the Mets' recent slump, questioning player consistency and suggesting potential trade deadline moves, including moving on from key players like Nimmo and McNeil to shake up the roster. The conversation also briefly touches on the Knicks' controversial hiring of Mike Brown, with Sal expressing skepticism about the move.
BT and Sal passionately dissect the Mets' catastrophic losing streak, which has seen them drop ten of their last eleven games, completely derailing their season. They emphasize that this isn't just a rough patch, but an unprecedented collapse for a team aiming for the postseason, with historical data showing no World Series contender has endured such a prolonged slump. The hosts point to a myriad of issues, including injuries, inconsistent offensive production from key players like Nimmo and McNeil, and a gassed bullpen, leading them to question the team's core and whether aggressive, transformative trades are necessary to salvage any hope for October.
The Put it in the Books Show S8 E9: Mets Rolling, Senga Hamstrung, Citi Rockin', Rays Up NextIt's Season 8, Episode 9 of The Put it in the Books Show and all four hosts are in the house tonight — Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe behind the wall, ready to break down another wild week of Mets baseball.First, the big news: Kodai Senga is headed to the 15-day IL after straining his hamstring covering first base in the finale against the Nationals. The fellas will dive into what this means for the Mets' elite pitching staff, which has carried the team through the first two and a half months of the season. How long will Senga be out? And who will step up in the meantime?Even with the bad injury news, the Mets are on fire. They just swept the Rockies in Colorado, swept the Nationals at Citi Field, and have now won six straight and seven of eight. The record stands at 45-24, good for a 5.5-game lead over the Phillies in the East, and a ridiculous 27-7 mark at home — where Citi Field is packed and rocking on a nightly basis.And it's not just pitching. The offense is sizzling, with the big four of Lindor, Nimmo, Soto, and Alonso all locked in at the plate. The team is doing what great teams do — beating the bad teams, competing with the good ones, and keeping the wins rolling in. We'll ask: do Mets fans really understand what they're watching this year, or are we all still too scarred by past seasons to fully enjoy it?Also up for discussion — the dugout vibes are off the charts, with Steve Gelbs practically a full-fledged member of the team now with all the postgame celebration fun. If you can't have fun when you're winning like this, when can you?Up next: three with the Rays at Citi Field. But then comes a road trip with some serious swag potential — the Mets head to Atlanta and Philadelphia with a chance to flat-out bury both the Braves and Phillies in the standings if they keep playing like this. You want to make a statement in June? Go into those ballparks and stomp on your division rivals.The guys will break it all down, talk about what the Mets need to do to keep the momentum rolling, and whether this team is truly built for the long haul.Expect Rodriguez to question the bullpen plan, Producer Joe to already be scouting deadline targets, Keith to rattle off five advanced stats none of us asked for, and Farace to remind everyone this is what elite baseball looks like.Let's put it in the books. #PiitB #Mets
The Put it in the Books Show S8 E8: Chemistry, Clutch... and a Classic Mets Gut PunchThe Mets dropped one in true Mets fashion—a gut-wrenching, self-inflicted 6-5 extra innings loss to the Dodgers that felt like a throwback to the worst timeline. And what better way to unpack it than with Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe (who actually showed up this week)? Keith is out tonight, likely reviewing footage of Lindor's glove work from April.Despite the meltdown, the Mets are still 39-24 and winners of 12 of their last 15. Pete, Soto, and Nimmo are heating up at the plate. The dugout's loose (flip-the-bottle, anyone?), chemistry is cooking, and even McNeil's playing CF without needing a GPS. Pete and Megill's handshake? No idea what it is, but it's working. Extend them both.Should Pete be the captain? Lindor? Nimmo? Or do we just rotate the title weekly like Producer Joe's attendance?The fellas also dig into the pitching—maybe the best staff in baseball—and whether the Mets need to make moves or just trust the next man up. They'll preview the series against the 12-50 Rockies (yes, that's not a typo), followed by a return home for matchups with the Nationals and Rays.Join us as we laugh through the pain and put it all in the books.
Jerry starts with Kendrick Perkins on ESPN reacting to the Knicks news. Stephen A. Smith blamed Leon Rose. He also called Rose out for ducking the media. The Yankees beat the Guardians as Jazz Chisholm returned to the lineup and had 2 hits including a HR. Volpe followed that up with a HR, back to back style. The Mets lost to the Dodgers in ten as Max Muncy hit his second HR of the ninth to tie it. The Dodgers won on a Brandon Nimmo misplay of a fly ball in left. Nimmo explained what happened after the game. Juan Soto hit another HR last night. Phil Simms was on with Kay Adams and said he doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
