BT & Sal dive into the hot rumor connecting the Mets to free agent Kyle Schwarber, immediately questioning whether the power-hitting DH is a replacement for Pete Alonso or an addition. Sal loves the idea of adding Schwarber's prodigious power while weakening the Phillies, but BT argues it makes little sense for a team emphasizing defense and versatility under David Stearns, given Schwarber's lack of position and high strikeout rate. The conversation pivots to the "hardball" the Mets are playing with Alonso, with sources indicating the team is holding firm at a three-year offer, far below what Pete and Boras are seeking. They debate whether moving on from Alonso to pursue Schwarber—and finally breaking up the core—is a smart business decision, even if it sacrifices a fan favorite. They agree the Mets have options, including a Bellinger-Pete combo, and must prioritize pitching, but the Alonso-Schwarber ultimatum is the most fascinating offensive negotiation.

BT & Sal ignite a heated debate over the Mets' struggling outfield, dismissing Cody Bellinger as an unlikely option given his Yankee ties, but acknowledging his flexibility is appealing. The conversation quickly shifts to the current center field options, with Sal calling a potential Harrison Bader signing a waste of time and Byron Buxton an injury-prone gamble. The crux of the segment focuses on the future of Pete Alonso: if the Mets let him walk, they "must sign Kyle Schwarber." Sal passionately argues that Schwarber's superior plate discipline (despite the high strikeouts) and unhinged "caveman" energy make him a better power-bat acquisition than retaining Alonso. They compare the two sluggers' OPS and debate the risk of Schwarber's two-hundred-strikeout season in the postseason.

BT & Sal ignite a debate over Mets President David Stearns' disciplined, non-budging stance on a three-year contract for Pete Alonso. Sal believes Alonso is "100% gone" for at least four years elsewhere, but Tierney respects Stearns' hard line—if he wins! The pressure is immense: if Stearns lets fan-favorite Alonso walk and the team loses, he's a "dead man." The discussion heats up over the possibility of the Mets pursuing Kyle Schwarber, with the hosts agreeing that if Stearns gives Schwarber (who is two years older) more years or money than Alonso, it would be a "dirty" move and a massive blunder. Callers chime in, suggesting front-loaded deals, while the hosts ultimately acknowledge that Stearns must be allowed to build the team his way, or else the model breaks. The excitement builds imagining a Lindor-Schwarber-Soto three-man tandem.

BT & Sal dive into a deep-cut sports debate, first reacting to the Lions' dominant win over the Cowboys. The conversation quickly shifts to the New York baseball offseason, where Sal predicts the Mets will have a "better" and more active winter than the Yankees, particularly in "crushing the rotation." They discuss the "Giants Effect," arguing that the Mets' unexpected success in 2024 "complicated" David Stearns' job, forcing him to keep a core that should have been dismantled earlier. They analyze the Yankees' internal problems, noting the lack of improvement if Volpe can't put in work due to his shoulder injury and if the lineup relies on Stanton and Grisham. They challenge Mets fans' pessimism, demanding the team lands two top pitchers (Skubal/Suarez or Peralta/Valdes) and explore Tatis Jr. as a dynamic replacement option if Pete Alonso bolts. The segment closes with a note that Giannis will dominate Knicks coverage for the next two months.

BT & Sal dive into the state of New York football, declaring the Giants' season "over" and shifting focus to the Jets, whose "stock is trending up" due to better infrastructure, young talent development (like AD Mitchell), and winning three of their last five. They contrast this with the Giants' lack of cap space and the need to "fire everybody" from the front office down. The discussion pivots to baseball, debating the contentious question of Pete Alonso's next contract. Sal defends his $180M/6-year line in a fiery exchange with a caller who suggests the Mets should let Pete walk and rely on Mark Vientos—a prospect Sal vehemently dismisses. Finally, they cover the Saint John's Johnnies Report, noting the team's surprising four-and-three start and the need for Pitino to tighten the rotation and defense. The segment ends with the "Call of the Day," a shocking, dumped-out call that leads to a hilarious discussion about Juan Soto's patience and the viral Wes Steinberg fake news tweet that garnered 25 million views.

BT & Sal kick off by addressing the "elephant in the room"—the widely rumored return of Craig Carton—and how it impacts their future. The debate immediately shifts to a fiery attack on the Giants, with Sal declaring GM Joe Schoen's tenure a "fireable offense" for overseeing the team's regression, while Tierney argues the job is suddenly "incredibly appealing" due to QB Jaxson Dart. They debate the fit of a veteran GM like Thomas Dimitroff and whether Bill Belichick's baggage is too much for the New York spotlight. In a Yankees Hot Stove segment, they debate Kyle Tucker's price tag, Sal demands a hard stop at eight years, and they analyze the potential "Superpower Strategy" of trading for an ace like Max Fried or Tarik Skubal to create the league's best rotation. The Mets debate centers on Pete Alonso's free agency, with Tierney predicting a "robust" market (including the Red Sox) that forces the Mets to pay, while Sal dismisses the notion of a significantly better offer emerging. They also discuss the Jets' momentum trending up versus the Giants' organizational rot. Finally, they tackle the hilarious and controversial Three Random Questions: Would you date a porn star? (a nod to the viral fake Soto tweet), What's the worst part of being married? (losing your schedule/having to fake interest), and What's the best part of being married? (having a supportive teammate).

BT & Sal dive into the hot stove debate surrounding Pete Alonso's free agency, with Tierney predicting a "robust" market—possibly including the Red Sox—that forces the Mets into a tough decision on a five- or six-year contract. Sal, however, remains skeptical, arguing he doesn't see a "significantly better offer" emerging despite the slugger's improved year and the absence of a qualifying offer. The discussion also veers into a larger question about New York sports: Do high taxes, traffic, and media pressure make the area less desirable for top free agents who no longer need "Madison Avenue" endorsements to maximize their off-field earnings? Plus, they briefly slam the Giants' worsening track record under GM Joe Shane.

The offseason didn't take a warm-up lap — it jumped straight into real movement. Episode 120 starts with two Blind Rankings games: Devin puts together eight random free-agent tag teams, pairing two available players who would be a fun combo for any club to sign together, while Steve works through eight free-agent ballpark fits to see which hypothetical landing spots match the player's style, strengths, or vibe the best. No context, no reshuffling — just reaction. We also dig into the Nimmo–Semien trade, one of the more surprising one-for-one swaps in recent years. The Mets send Brandon Nimmo (plus $5M) to Texas for Marcus Semien, reshaping both teams in a pretty direct way. We look at why Nimmo approved the deal, how the Rangers shift their outfield with Carter and Langford, and why Semien fits exactly what the Mets want to emphasize — defense, reliability, and a more balanced lineup. It also raises real questions about New York's infield picture, from Jeff McNeil's role to Brett Baty to how soon Jett Williams forces his way into a spot. From there, we get into Sonny Gray's move to the Red Sox — a deal that accelerates Boston's push toward a stabilized, playoff-ready rotation — and Toronto's massive swing for Dylan Cease, handing out a franchise-record seven-year, $210 million contract to anchor the next era of the Jays' staff. And then there's Hal Steinbrenner, who stirred the week even further by suggesting the Yankees didn't turn a profit in 2025 and that reducing payroll would be “ideal.” We break down why those comments landed poorly, how they contrast with the Yankees' global financial footprint, and what it means for their offseason strategy. Once the trade, signing, and ownership reaction breaks wrap, it's Blind Rankings time: Devin's Free Agent Tag Teams: Two random free agents at a time, paired together like a package deal — who makes the best duo a team could sign this winter? Steve's Free Agent Ballpark Fits: Eight different free agents matched with eight different ballparks — which pairing feels right, and which ones fall flat? We close things out by talking about how this early wave of moves — the Nimmo–Semien blockbuster, Sonny Gray to Boston, the Cease mega-deal, and Hal's payroll posture — might shift the broader free-agent picture, especially for hitters like Pete Alonso, Kyle Tucker, and Cody Bellinger.

Jed's back to rebuilding his bullpen and his first spare part is actually more accomplished than the guys he normally drags off the scrap heap. Praz and Oleg drop by to talk about the bullpen, about the Cardinals trade of Sonny Gray and whether they'll also try to move Willson Contreras. The guys find an interesting new home for Pete Alonso and think the Marlins being pressured to add payroll would make a Sandy Alcantara trade easier for them, not harder. They also try to guess which Cub will settle for one of Jed's extensions. And they come up with a ridiculous new pinch runner rule. All that, and more.

Show Open: Hal Steinbrenner comes off as tone deaf in his press conference, not because he's not spending enough money, but because it's not being spent wisely. Meanwhile it sounds like the Mets are dead set on bringing back Pete Alonso, that could be a Steve Cohen mandate.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Tuesday's BBMS to talk O's with The Baltimore Sun's Jacob Calvin Meyer. The O's made one big move already this offseason, trading for LA's Taylor Ward, but will they make another move for a big power bat? Hear why JCM feels they will not be in on guys like Pete Alonso or Kyle Tucker.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat try to cypher through recent news about and related to the Red Sox adding big power bats. Does a recent Mets' trade give an idea that Pete Alonso might be more of a possibility? Then, Alonso could be the only big-time premium bat the Sox add according a recent report from Alex Speier even though there should be another one added. And, if the Sox can only "afford" one big bat, attention will turn to the trade market with some names floated like Brendan Donovan and Ketel Marte.

BT & Sal launch into a passionate defense of the Mets' bold decision to trade Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien. They argue that despite Nimmo's high character, the move was a necessary, "emotionless decision" to break up a non-winning core, upgrade the defense with the Gold Glove Semien at second base, and free up a position to acquire a better offensive outfielder (like Bellinger or Tucker). Sal argues the trade makes a Pete Alonso extension a necessity, as the Mets cannot afford to lose two major bats. They also preview the big Thanksgiving Day Football slate, focusing on the highly anticipated Chiefs vs. Cowboys matchup, and discuss their reactions to the Alex Rodriguez documentary, with Tierney expressing a soft spot for the flawed former Yankee star.

BT & Sal dissect the shocking, confirmed trade of Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. Sal hails the trade as an "awesome move," proving the Mets are finally ready to build the right way and focus on run prevention, given Nimmo's declining defense, poor arm, and lower-extremity injuries. BT argues that the move was necessary to upgrade the defense and frees up the DH spot, making it mandatory for the Mets to now re-sign Pete Alonso to replace the lost offensive power. They debate the trade's immediate impact (Nimmo for Semien is a defensive upgrade at second base, setting up Jeff McNeil to be traded) and what the next move must be: acquiring a top outfielder (Bellinger or Tucker) to fill Nimmo's spot. The hosts praise David Stearns' "gutsy, bold" decision to move past the core's sentimental value.

BT & Sal bring the fire on the week's biggest New York sports bombshells. They dissect Giants interim coach Mike Kafka's shocking mid-season firing of DC Shane Bowen, debating if it's a genuine leadership move to secure the head job or just "throwing a bone to the fans." The baseball world is rocked by Mets President David Stearns' bold trade of fan-favorite Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien. The hosts clash over the move—BT calls it a necessary, "emotionless decision" to reset the core and upgrade the defense, but Sal warns it makes extending Pete Alonso a non-negotiable emergency. They also pick apart Stearns' transparent comments on the trade and the necessary youth movement. Finally, they unleash on Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner's media address, calling out his "Billionaire BS" for complaining about the payroll while owning an $8 billion team. The discussion centers on Hal's refusal to keep pace with the Dodgers' spending and the "radical" roster changes (like a Giancarlo Stanton trade) the Yankees must make to compete.

Segment 1 – News and Notes1.We had our first significant trade of the season as the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward.a.Both teams are starved for pitching, and while G-Rod has never been healthy, he has good stuff with four years of team control. Taylor Ward becomes a free agent after this season.b.Unless the Orioles haven't told us that G-Rod's arm will fall off at some point next season, it's hard not to like this for the Angels. I will say, the Angels did not do a physical. I'm thinking that was part of the deal – you're buying low, so no give-backzy. 2.Raisel Iglesias signed back with the Braves. He had stretch where he was awful and lost his job. Is he the closer going into camp? Is he somebody you're comfortable drafting as a closer?3.Non-tendered players – Surprised, any worries they will sign somewhere?a.Adolis Garica (OF, Tex)i.Who gets his playing time?b.Nathaniel Lowe (1B, Bos)c.Christopher Morel (DH, TB)d.Alek Manoah (Atl, RHP)4.Kazuma Okamoto was posted.

In a bit over a half-season, he went 8-8, making him a 15-15 player with a .250ish batting average. That's not an awful player, but he's been drafted as one. His ADP is 387, and he's the 30th third baseman off the board.a.What are your thoughts on Noby this season? Are you interested?3.Kyle Stowers had his breakout last season, posting a .288 batting average with 25 home runs in only 117 games. He's going as the 28th outfielder off the board.a.Would you feel good about him being your #2 outfielder?4.Sandy Alcantara was terrible last season, and now he's the 66th pitcher off the board (50th starter). I think I recall you saying you wanted him to pitch poorly last year, so he would drop in 2026. Has he dropped enough for you to be interested?5.When Ryan Weather has played, he's been ok. Unfortunately, he seems always to be hurt. He's the 120th pitcher off the board (call it 85 to 90th starter) – your 6th starter. Is that someone who interests you at the moment, or is it a pass?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)New York Mets1.The Mets appear to be moving on from Pete Alonso so they can move Vientos to first and Baty to third. Do you like this move or do you believe the Mets will keep Alonso?a.Baty's ADP is 259 and Vientos is 256. Who would you rather have?2.Francisco Alvarez started to show signs of being an impact player, slugging 11 home runs in 76 games. He'll just be 24 next season. Over/Under 20 home runs?3.Will Jeff McNeil be the full-time second baseman for the Mets in 2026? He's on the last year of his contract?4.Kodai Senga posted decent numbers in 2025, posting a 3.02 ERA with 109 strikeouts and 55 walks. However, he spent time in the minor leagues and continues to struggle throwing strikes?a.Stat line for 2026: wins, ERA, and K'sb.There's been rumors that the Mets will trade him this winter? What say you?5.Who will be the Mets closer in 2026?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Philadelphia Phillies1.The Phillies could lose several players to free agency, including Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto. Do they resign these guys or try to get younger?a.I guess the problem is, are there minor league players that can step in or do they need to dip into free agency?2.Related to #1, the Phillies team still has Harper, Turner, and Cristopher Sanchez, but overall, the team doesn't look great. Dumbroski always finds a way, but is this a playoff contender for 2026?3.Andrew Painter – 2026 stats – IP, ERA, K's4.Zach Wheeler is expected to be back by the end of May. Before the injury, he was one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he had TOS surgery, which doesn't have a great track record for pitchers. He's the 52nd pitcher off the board, or the 39th starting pitcher off the board. Do you feel comfortable with Wheeler being a stronger #3 starter on your team?

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.
