BT & Sal dive into the "DH or Done" dilemma surrounding Pete Alonso's free agency, arguing that the Mets cannot let the star first baseman hold their crucial offseason hostage. Sal insists the Mets must offer Alonso a "perfect" deal—a long-term contract (he suggests 5 years, $150M) only if he agrees to transition immediately to a Designated Hitter role to improve the team's defense. Tierney agrees he needs to be an affordable DH, but suspects Alonso's pride in playing first base will lead him to walk away for less money elsewhere. They both conclude that if Alonso and his agent, Scott Boras, drag the process out or refuse the DH mandate, the Mets must move on immediately to aggressively build a World Series-caliber roster
BT & Sal bring in Hoff to dissect the growing anxiety around Pete Alonso's contract situation, which they argue is becoming a massive distraction that "handcuffs" the Mets' entire offseason. The hosts rail against Scott Boras's perceived playbook, which they believe involves holding out Alonso to maintain leverage, even potentially blocking other Boras clients like Cody Bellinger from signing with the Mets. Sal pushes the Mets to "rewrite the rules" and set a hard deadline, demanding they either sign Alonso or move on quickly to "blow the whole thing up" and execute a smart, aggressive rebuild focused on pitching and reconfiguring the defense. The core question: Can the Mets navigate this drama and make the smart business decisions necessary to finally fix their flawed infrastructure?
BT & Sal dive into the hot stove free agency odds, starting a fierce debate on the line between fan passion and financial "prudence." They discuss potential landing spots for Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, Cody Bellinger, and Kyle Tucker, with Sal arguing the Yankees must focus on Bellinger or target a perfect trade fit like Steven Kwan to truly improve. The biggest argument centers on Pete Alonso and the Mets. Sal believes Pete's market will be robust, while BT declares his first conversation with Alonso would be a non-negotiable stipulation: he must agree to be a bulk DH to prioritize the team's defense ("DH or GTFO!"). They conclude that if the Mets impose this restriction, teams like the Red Sox and Phillies will likely swoop in, making an Alonso departure a real possibility.
BT & Sal react to Aaron Glenn's fiery press conference post-trade deadline, praising his "unwavering conviction" and transparent messaging to a frustrated fan base. They dissect his stance on the Quinnen Williams/Sauce Gardner trade and his refusal to deal Breece Hall, analyzing whether the moves signify a genuine turnaround. Then, the hosts dive deep into Mets and Yankees free agency with real betting odds on stars like Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, Cody Bellinger, and Kyle Tucker. They debate the "stupid business" of long-term deals for closers and DHs, exploring the dilemma for the Mets: do they meet Pete Alonso's price, or demand he become a "bulk DH" to prioritize defense? Finally, the "Call of the Day" is a hilarious detour into Hof's secret Sydney Sweeney "hall pass" and the astronomical cost of MSG tickets, with Sal venting about paying nearly $500 for regular-season Knicks seats.
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.

BT & Sal invite Hoff into the ring for another explosive round of Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth! The trio clashes over the trade deadline as they put three fiery statements to the test. They debate whether the Jets should trade Breece Hall for massive draft capital and if the Giants' "worthless" assets will see them stand pat. Then, the focus shifts to baseball, where they argue if Pete Alonso is worthy of a single MVP vote for the 2025 season. Finally, they rank the hot seats of NYC's coaches, asking: Does Aaron Boone have the safest seat of all head coaches/managers in New York sports? The statements debated are: Jets and Giants will make a total of zero trades by today's deadline. Pete Alonso will get at least one MVP vote for this 2025 season. Aaron Boone has the safest seat of all head coaches/managers in New York sports.
BT & Sal unleash a week of fiery takes on the spiraling New York Giants organization. They declare the regime "finished" after a miserable three consecutive 2-7 starts, demanding John Mara fire both Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen to initiate a complete culture reset. The hosts blast any suggestion of splitting the ticket as an "epic disaster." The debate escalates with a powerful argument for the Giants to "do whatever they can to go get Belichick" as the only acceptable gamble for a winning coach. In earth-shattering Jets news, BT & Sal react to the shocking trade of star CB Sauce Gardner for two first-round picks and a wide receiver, declaring the move a "home run" that gives GM Moogy the necessary assets to accelerate the rebuild and clean house. Segments also include ranting about "Streaming Hell" for sports fans, dissecting the messy Mets' offseason (Montas's contract), and tackling Bald-Faced Lie/Truth on trades, Pete Alonso's MVP votes, and Aaron Boone's job security.

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.

Jets' week could get ugly if Justin Fields doesn't show up early, but a win over the Panthers at MetLife could calm the storm. Meanwhile, Mets fans wonder how Pete Alonso's production gets replaced, sparking a heated debate on whether they should keep him.
Jets face a pressure cooker this week—if Justin Fields doesn't deliver early, things could get ugly against the Panthers, though a win could ease the heat. Mets fans debate Pete Alonso's future, while Jerry reports Flacco and the Bengals stun the Steelers with Chase hauling 16 catches, and Rodgers throws four TDs in defeat. Bo Nix preps for the Giants, Blue Jays even their series 2-2, Scherzer refuses to budge in the fifth, and the Brewers fall 3-0 to the Dodgers. Meanwhile, a caller grills why QBs flop in New York, and Boomer loves the Giants giving Dart time to watch before playing.
Brian Cashman fired back at Jeter and A-Rod, defending Boone and insisting the Yankees aren't the only team using analytics, while Islanders rookie chaos unfolds living with Matt and Sydney Martin. Jerry's update featured the Bengals' last-second FG win over the Steelers and Vlad powering the Blue Jays to even their series 2-2 with the Mariners. Plus, we're shaking up NFL picks after a terrible run, Yankees' rotation for next year looks stacked, and Boomer weighs in on keeping Pete Alonso with the Mets without breaking the bank.
The week in sports kicked off with chaos and drama across the NFL and MLB. The Bengals stunned the Steelers on a last-second FG, with Flacco and Rodgers lighting it up, though Rodgers lost it when an offensive lineman tackled him mid-celebration. Gio slammed the league's weak defenses, warning anyone can beat anyone, while the Broncos struggled returning from London. MLB action saw the Blue Jays even their series 2-2 with a Vlad homer, the Dodgers keep winning without Ohtani, and Scherzer refusing to leave the mound as the Brewers fall 3-0. Off the field, Cashman fired back at Jeter and A-Rod's digs at the Yankees, the Mets debate Pete Alonso's future. Jets face pressure this week with Justin Fields needing to deliver against the Panthers, and NFL QBs once again flop in New York only to shine elsewhere, much to Boomer's amusement that the Giants gave Dart time to watch before playing. The week closed with explosive leaked audio of Belichick getting micromanaged by Jordon Hudson and trashing the crew, Al & Eddie dropping a new Cam Skattebo song, and our revamped Week 7 NFL picks ready to shake things up.
Is the case hit era over? Are there too many case hits? Does the hobby know what THE case hit is?
