Austin is stunned by the Pirates bringing back Jack Suwinski for $1.25 million. An ESPN story today said that Pete Alonso is a good fit for the Pirates. Eugenio Suarez at $20 million per season makes a lot of sense. 19 recruits have decommitted from Penn State since James Franklin was fired and only 1 from LSU, 0 from Florida.

BT and Sal tear into the Yankees' offseason plans, centered on GM Brian Cashman's recent comments about the outfield. The hosts call out Cashman's attempt to temper expectations by suggesting a "worst-case scenario" of relying on prospects Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez alongside Trent Grisham as "playing possum." They then debate the merits of the top two outfield free agents, Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker, with Sal expressing strong preference for Bellinger's versatility—but only for five or six years, fearing his market will explode to $170 million or more. The segment features BT and Sal's "Money Pit" contract guesses for Bellinger and Pete Alonso, along with a caller pushing for a trade for Bo Bichette. Finally, the show is briefly interrupted by breaking news: Jaxon Dart has not been cleared from concussion protocol, dramatically lowering Tierney's interest in the upcoming Giants game.

Segment - Ken Laird joins the crew this morning and offers a lead. Who should the Red Sox prioritize between Alex Bregman and Pete Alonso this offseason?

Hour 1 - The crew dives into their leads for the day. Ken Laird joins to ask if they would rather have Alex Bregman or Pete Alonso on the roster next season.

BT and Sal ignite a fiery debate on the New York baseball offseason, focusing on the nightmare scenario of Pete Alonso in pinstripes and the Mets' hypothetical, high-stakes Tarik Skubal trade proposal (costing four top prospects). Sal unveils his "Grand Slam Blueprint" for the Mets' future, but the hosts slam any executive who thinks Skubal's trade value won't drop due to injury risk—calling the strategy "moronic." The discussion pivots to the Yankees' third-base quandary: Is the safer, defense-first Ryan McMahon a better fit than the superior, aging Alex Bregman? Plus, shockwaves hit as the Yankees' farm system ranks a dismal 25th to the Mets' #1. Finally, they tackle the broader sports world, with BT railing against the "unwatchable" NBA regular season due to rest days, and they argue over the Week 12 NFL Power Rankings, where BT controversially champions his Denver Broncos.

BT and Sal dive into a fiery discussion on the Yankees and Mets' overlapping offseason targets, focusing on how Cody Bellinger and Devin Williams are perfect, must-have fits for both clubs. Sal unveils his four-part, "Grand Slam Blueprint" for the Mets, which includes trading for Tarik Skubal, signing a pitcher like Ranger Suarez, re-signing Pete Alonso, and acquiring one of the big bats (Bellinger, Tucker, or Bregman). They debate the plausibility of the Mets making "massive moves"—including trading Brandon Nimmo and Kodai Senga—with Sal needing to see Stearns act like a big-market GM. The conversation shifts to the broader landscape, where they express outrage over the looming CBA expiration and the possibility of a lockout, arguing that another work stoppage would prove baseball's "greedy pigs" are disconnected from the fans. Finally, the hosts touch on the more glamorous side of the offseason, revealing they are anxiously awaiting the official invitation to A-Rod's Christmas party, with Sal admitting Alex Rodriguez even texted him about the disastrous Trent Grisham deal.

BT & Sal ignite a heated conversation around the baseball offseason and the NBA's failing regular season. They debate the hypothetical nightmare of Pete Alonso landing with the Yankees, discussing whether adding the Polar Bear's power is the "restructuring" the Bombers need (trading Stanton and IKF) or just a power overdose. The discussion pivots to the Tigers' Tarik Skubal, where Sal unleashes a scorching critique of the front office executive who believes Skubal's trade value will be the same at the deadline as it is now. The hosts call the strategy "moronic," citing the massive risk of injury (Cole, Alcantara) and the loss of full-season control. Finally, they tackle the NBA's lack of urgency, with BT slamming the regular season as "largely unwatchable" due to the constant rest days and the compromised competition. They yearn for the competitive spirit of 90s basketball and explore radical solutions (like split seasons) to make the games matter again.

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.

BT & Sal dive into a hypothetical (but fiery!) discussion about Pete Alonso wearing a Yankees uniform. While acknowledging reports that the Yankees have no interest in the Polar Bear, Sal argues that a move for Alonso would be a smart piece of a necessary "restructuring" for the Yankees—specifically, by trading Giancarlo Stanton and replacing his power and DH slot with an everyday first baseman and DH option in Pete. The conversation gets personal as they debate the emotional fallout for Mets fans if their franchise slugger jumped to the hated Yankees. Sal asserts that his hatred for the Yankees would "usurp" any affection for Pete, but Hoff and Sal debate where Mets fans would draw the line. The segment also touches on the frustrating lack of development and hype surrounding Yankees prospects like Jasson Dominguez and Mets prospect Carson Benge.

The Brennan Bernardino trade sets the tone for a busy Red Sox offseason, and Brian Abraham explains how it reshapes Boston's bullpen. The Red Sox Senior Director of Player Development joins the show to break down a full day of roster maneuvering, including why protecting Rule 5 eligible arms like David Sandlin and Shane Dawson became priorities and how the organization is rebalancing its mix of right and left handed relief options heading into the Winter Meetings. Tom and Alex then dive into Boston's reported interest in Bo Bichette, Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman, how the Sox might approach the top of the free agent market, and what kind of timeline could guide any major move this offseason. All of that is featured in this episode of 310 To Left hosted by Tom Caron & Alex Speier ft. Brian Abraham.

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 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 put producer Hoff in the hot seat for a fiery round of "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth!" The trio debates three scorching hot takes: Whether David Stearns will use a baseball version of AI to construct the 2026 Mets roster. If Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick was justified in attacking Mason Appleton for shooting the puck after the final horn, a move Quick viewed as disrespectful to hockey's "unwritten rules." The shocking bet that the Nets will win less than ten games—a take Tierney is quick to endorse due to his deep disinterest in the team. The segment also features a major Pete Alonso update from an industry source, who claims a return to the Mets is "very unlikely," given Stearns' low-ball max offer of a "two plus one at around thirty" million dollars, and speculation that the Angels will be the "stupid team" to overpay for the slugger. Finally, Sal celebrates a win after his complaints earned him an invite to Alex Rodriguez's exclusive Christmas party!

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 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.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from the second hour of Tuesday's BBMS to discuss the rumors that the O's are a dark horse candidate for free agent slugger Pete Alonso. What will it take for you to believe they're real contenders for one of the game's most prized free agents?

Dylan Campione, Nicho Fernandez, Henry Kolani & Gavin Anderson discuss the first moves of the offseason! Josh Naylor is returning to Seattle, what does that mean for the Pete Alonso market, the Mariners' next move and the domino effects on the market. Plus, Nicho poses a question regarding Blake Butera and Tony Vitello. 

BT & Sal go nuclear on the Giants' catastrophic season, arguing that the latest loss is proof that Joe Schoen must be fired for building a "talent-free" roster, regardless of the coaching situation. They demand the organization "bleed out" and embrace a complete organizational reset. The hosts unload on the Giants' broken culture, ripping into Mike Kafka for his "soft" punishment of rookie Abdul Carter, who was benched for repeatedly sleeping/missing meetings—a trend that started under Brian Daboll. The chaos extends to other sports: they debate whether Josh Naylor's deal sets a $180M floor for Pete Alonso, which Sal argues the Mets shouldn't pay. Plus, they react to Justin Fields' benching in favor of Tyrod Taylor and blast Jalin Hyatt for a crucial route error in the latest loss. Finally, they cover Bo Nickal's knockout win and John Cena's last MSG fight.

BT & Sal ignite the debate over Mets slugger Pete Alonso after Josh Naylor's reported five-year deal with the Mariners, with Sal arguing the move sets a high floor for Pete's contract—likely six years for $180M—which Sal thinks the Mets shouldn't pay due to Pete's limited utility outside of power. They debate if Naylor's versatility makes him a better player than Pete for team building. The discussion shifts to the Giants' embarrassing two-and-nine season: BT rips into the notion that the team is "competitive," and Sal criticizes Jalin Hyatt for slowing down on his route to seal the loss against the Packers. They also blast the lack of accountability surrounding Abdul Carter's repeated tardiness. Finally, they briefly touch on John Cena's last match at MSG and the disgusting on-field conduct of Jamar Chase. The segment ends with Sal screaming down a caller who suggests Paul Goldschmidt as a replacement for Alonso.

BT & Sal go head-to-head on the major implications of Josh Naylor's reported five-year extension with the Mariners, arguing it has immediately set a floor for Pete Alonso's free-agent negotiations. BT argues Naylor's deal is a "good night for Pete," suggesting Alonso will now command a minimum of five years at a massive salary. However, BT insists the Mets should not sign him for six years, arguing Naylor offers a more well-rounded skill set (higher contact, better defense, better on the bases) compared to Pete's pure power. Sal fires back, calling Naylor a "poor man's Pete Alonso" and a "moneyball guy" who isn't needed in New York. He maintains that Alonso's proven power and clutch performance in the New York market are irreplaceable and that the Mets must re-sign him to maintain the team's core, especially behind Juan Soto. The conversation heats up as they debate whether David Stearns is overthinking the situation and what moves the Mets must make if they let Pete walk, with Cody Bellinger being the only acceptable replacement.

This week's Mets highlights include reaction to David Stearns speaking at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas. BT and Sal want Stearns to be aggressive in resolving the Pete Alonso situation to move on to other roster needs, and they debate if Brandon Nimmo can be traded to free up payroll. Plus, Boomer and Gio react to the wild story of Steve Cohen auctioning off a golden toilet, and the Evan and Tiki crew play MLB free agency bingo.
