On their penultimate show, Marc Malusis and his co-host break down the "calous business" of the New York Mets' offseason following the departure of Pete Alonso. With the news of Alonso heading to the Orioles and Edwin Diaz out the door, Malusis demands to know why David Stearns and Steve Cohen—despite having the deepest pockets in baseball—refused to match a reasonable offer to keep the "Polar Bear" behind Juan Soto. The duo debates whether Stearns is a brilliant architect building a sustainable winner or a cold-hearted executive tearing down the clubhouse's soul. From the "skepticism" of the Mets' new casino-linked finances to the potential (and pitfalls) of a Kyle Tucker pursuit, Malusis leaves no stone unturned in this heated post-mortem of a franchise at a crossroads.

Marc Malusis addresses the "genuine concern" of the Mets faithful regarding the lack of additions to the starting rotation. While callers worry the team is being run like a small-market franchise, Moose reminds listeners that David Stearns was hired specifically to overhaul the organization's structure. He highlights that while the team has moved on from several "homegrown" staples, the offseason is far from over. The conversation also touches on the pressure of Steve Cohen's expectations and the potential resurgence of Mark Vientos as an internal solution to the lineup's power needs.

It's another "Blue Monday" for New York football as the guys recap a brutal Week 16 that saw the Jets surrender eight sacks and the Giants fall to a Vikings backup. While the "Tank Bowl" against the Raiders looms to decide the #1 pick, Jalen Brunson's 47-point masterpiece provides the only local joy. Plus, the guys dive into Steve Cohen's social media sparring with fans and the terrifying possibility of Cody Bellinger bolting for the Dodgers.

The Mets Owner takes to Twitter, Carton and McMonigle stop by, plus a Football Friday with picks and more.

The Mets owner breaks his silence on twitter, but what does it mean?

In a morning segment dripping with New York intensity, Brandon Tierney breaks down a shockwave of tweets from Mets owner Steve Cohen. Reacting to a New York Post article suggesting a payroll dip for 2026, Cohen fired off an aggressive defense, labeling his critics "the usual idiots" and insisting he "can't imagine" the budget being lower than last year. BT analyzes the owner's shift in tone—from the "scepter-wielding" savior to a billionaire arguing about waiver claims and minor league movement. While Tierney maintains his support for Cohen, he issues a stern warning: after losing Pete Alonso to the Orioles and Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers, a Twitter war with fans isn't the victory Mets fans are looking for. Steve is feeling the heat, and if he doesn't land a big fish before Fan Fest, the reception at Citi Field won't be pretty.

David Hogg joins Kanew to talk about why gun safety laws work, and why his organization Leaders We Deserve is backing Rep. Justin J. Pearson's effort to replace Congressman Steve Cohen, who equated Pearson's challenge with "Pearl Harbor".

In this emotionally charged episode of Giant Mess, Neal Lynch reacts to one of the most frustrating offseasons in Mets history. From trading Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien, letting Pete Alonso walk to the Orioles, and watching Edwin Díaz head to L.A., Neal dives into all the monumental moves, the questionable decisions by David Stearns, and the eerie silence from Steve Cohen.Is the focus on defense worth dismantling the heart of the team? Has Stearns pulled the plug too soon? With Soto left standing and everyone else gone, what's next for the Mets—and for a fanbase already reeling?

BT unleashes a fiery reaction to a quote from Tiki Barber, aggressively challenging the notion that the Giants are not a "bad, poorly coached football team." Tierney emphatically argues that the on-field product proves the coaching and talent are both fundamentally flawed. The discussion quickly shifts to the Mets, where BT defends Steve Cohen's simultaneous pursuits of a casino deal and a Mets rebuild, telling skeptical fans that he believes Cohen's ultimate motivation is to succeed on both fronts. He tackles fan disappointment over trading fan favorites (like Pete Alonso), explaining that winners think long-term, and Cohen is moving on from players the organization "doesn't value as much as some of you guys do." Tierney concludes with a passionate take on clubhouse chemistry, asserting that talent and success trump whether players are "tight" off the field.

The Mets have taken a wrecking ball to their core, and Evan Roberts is livid with David Stearns and Steve Cohen, while Sal Licata says the organization deserves the benefit of the doubt after letting Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz go. Joe Benigno says the Wilpons would have kept Alonso, and Boomer Esiason declares this offseason "The Great Met Reset."

BT & Sal dive into the emotional anguish of Mets fandom, debating a caller who fears waiting 50 years for another World Series and wants a win while his father is still alive. The hosts tear into GM David Stearns' perceived lack of emotional connection, arguing that running the team "like a business" without caring for the fans is a recipe for failure. The discussion quickly turns fiery, questioning the deep-seated mistrust Mets fans have for Steve Cohen and whether the Metropolitan Park casino project is the real priority over a winning team. Finally, the talk shifts to the Yankees, where Sal slams Brian Cashman for the "stupid qualifying offer" to Trent Grisham, calling it the major mistake that crippled the Yankees' ability to land Cody Bellinger and other key free agents. They debate the Yankees' appetite for a long-term deal with Bellinger, drawing parallels to the costly, ultimately failed pursuit of Juan Soto.

On their final show, BT & Sal dive into the hot rumor surrounding the Mets and Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, who is available with only one year of control left. Sal argues the Mets and Yankees must knock down the door for Skubal, but BT fires back, arguing the Mets should absolutely NOT include top pitching prospect Nolan McClain—calling a potential trade "idiotic" given Skubal's short-term control and impending $400M contract. They debate the Tigers' leverage and the risks of waiting to sign Skubal in free agency versus trading top farm pieces now. The hosts also discuss whether Mets owner Steve Cohen will react to the current "state of desperation" among the fanbase and overrule David Stearns' measured plan. The show wraps up with emotional fan calls and appreciation for the "juice" the New York Knicks brought to their time slot.

On an emergency episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo break down the facts and emotions surrounding the news that Pete Alonso is no longer with the New York Mets. Connor and Joe look at what happened, why it happened, and what could possibly come next for the Mets as the Polar Bear agrees to a 5-year, $155 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles.  The guys hope to see a plan come together from David Stearns and Steve Cohen to make the Mets contenders, as right now for the fans, it's one of the “bad times.” Be sure to subscribe to The Mets Pod at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Sports Radio Personality Joe Benigno calls in to react to the current dire state of the Mets team and the management decisions made by owner Steve Cohen and David Stearns, following Pete Alonso's move to Baltimore to join the Orioles. Despite expectations from Cohen's wealth, Benigno expresses disappointment, arguing the team is being run like a small market franchise. He recounts various poor trades and signings, such as letting go of key players like Edwin Diaz and signing underperforming ones like Frankie Montas. Benigno draws parallels to past mismanagement and asserts a deep-seated frustration with the direction of the team, going so far as to label Cohen's ownership a fraud. He laments the state of the franchise, comparing it unfavorably to other teams like the Dodgers and Phillies, and expresses a desire for significant changes. Learn more about your ad choices.

BT and Sal discuss the volatile fallout of the Mets letting both Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz walk, labeling it a "wreckage." Sal wants David Stearns to explain publicly why the Mets, with all their resources, wouldn't meet Alonso's market price, especially after a great offensive year. Tierney argues that keeping players who delivered "subpar results" makes no sense, stating that fans must choose between loving the players or demanding a winner. The conversation pivots to skepticism, addressing the caller theory that Steve Cohen's focus is now purely on the casino deal at Metropolitan Park. They also debate the future of the Mets' offense: is trading for Kyle Tucker the necessary "sexy, splashy move," or will Stearns prioritize young talent and make the team less competitive in the short term? Tierney is insistent that letting Alonso go only makes Stearns' job of building a playoff contender "more difficult."

BT & Sal dive into the dramatic fallout from the Mets' failure to re-sign fan-favorite Pete Alonso, who signed a 5-year, $155 million deal with the Orioles. Sal concedes that letting Alonso walk is the "right thing to do" for the long-term goal of building a sustained winner, but admits Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns is now "Public Enemy #1." The debate centers on owner Steve Cohen's patience: Tierney questions if the public backlash from letting go of Alonso (and other core players like Díaz and Nimmo) could lead to an "irrational" decision to fire Stearns if the team misses the playoffs next season, a move Sal argues would be disastrously short-sighted for the rebuild. The hosts analyze the tension between building a "sustained winner" and succumbing to "petulant" unpredictability.

On their final show, BT & Sal dive into the immediate aftermath of David Stearns trading Pete Alonso, with Sal demanding to know "Why" the Mets weren't willing to meet the five-year, $155 million deal. They debate the theory that Alonso's departure was necessary to clear a path for Juan Soto to become the greatest Met ever, a theory Sal calls "complete nonsense." The discussion heats up over the pressure on David Stearns, as the hosts wonder how long he has until Steve Cohen is forced to act on public backlash if the team doesn't improve quickly, asking if the "blowtorch" approach is too risky. They emphasize that while Alonso was beloved, his departure is necessary to build a "sustained winner," urging fans to have discipline and trust Stearns' vision. The segment wraps with a look at what the Mets need next, including Skubal and Kyle Tucker, and a light-hearted moment about the show's final day.

It's the one-year anniversary of the Juan Soto signing, but the current baseball offseason has been anything but exciting! We dive into the quiet winter and take a call from listener Paul, who returns to voice his strong opinion: He does not like Steve Cohen!

Today's word of the day is ‘best fit' as in Giannis Antetokounmpo as in Milwaukee as in the Bucks as in Doc Rivers as in trade. It looks like Giannis finally wants out.

It looked like Paul and head coach Tyronn Lue just couldn't get on the same page. (26:30) Zion Williamson is hurt again. Going to miss another three weeks. There was no reason the Pelicans should have guaranteed his contract for this season, and here we are. (34:00) Review: The Descendants. (38:00) NPPOD. (43:30) Steve Cohen is so close to getting his $8.1 billion dream built. The New York State Gaming Commission is a vote away from granting Cohen one of the three gambling licenses. If that happens, a casino is coming to Citi Field. Wow. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
