Evan makes one thing clear right away: he does not hate the move, but he is not celebrating either. The Mets are undeniably better after adding Freddy Peralta, and the rotation finally looks respectable. The problem is the price. Two top-100 prospects for a pitcher Evan believes is a one-year rental based on the track record of David Stearns. That sparks a deeper conversation about what the Mets are actually building under Stearns and Steve Cohen. Is this a smart year-to-year strategy, or a risky way to live as a fan? Evan lays out why a rental only works if it leads to a World Series run, compares the move to past Mets rentals, and asks fans the real question: what result makes this trade worth it? Plus, a hilarious and painfully real dad moment from Madison Square Garden, where Evan has to explain to his kids both Nets misery and why Jet Williams is suddenly no longer a Mets prospect.

Craig add's more details to the Kyle Tucker signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Steve Cohen and the Mets did all they could. Speaking of New York Baseball teams, what have the Yankees been up to?
The Mets quickly move on from missing out on Kyle Tucker to signing Bo Bichette. Was this the plan all along? No. Plus, what are the Yankees doing watching the perfect piece go to Queens? Craig shares newly discovered information regarding how the Mets handled their negotiations with Kyle Tucker. At the end of the day, Steve Cohen didn't drop the ball. Plus, Shohei Ohtani's cheat code of a contract is impossible to match. Craig add's more details to the Kyle Tucker signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Steve Cohen and the Mets did all they could. Speaking of New York Baseball teams, what have the Yankees been up to? It's 6pm on Friday night. The John Harbaugh news broke more than 36 hours ago that he was going to be the next head coach of the New York Giants. Why has a contract not been signed? Plus, C-Mac goes off on Yankees Hotstove.
Craig shares newly discovered information regarding how the Mets handled their negotiations with Kyle Tucker. At the end of the day, Steve Cohen didn't drop the ball. Plus, Shohei Ohtani's cheat code of a contract is impossible to match.
Evan and Tiki react in real time to the breaking news that the Mets have signed Bo Bichette, finally answering the biggest question of the offseason. After weeks of debating pivots, desperation, and whether the Mets would actually pull the trigger on a major bat, the move is real. They break down why the Mets chose Bichette, what it says about David Stearns and Steve Cohen, and how this signing fits into the bigger picture after missing out on Kyle Tucker. The guys debate where Bichette plays, how much the bat changes the lineup, and whether this move actually closes the gap with the league's elite. Plus, immediate fan reaction, instant expectations, and the real pressure this puts on the rest of the offseason.
It turns into an all-Rico day as Evan's Kyle Tucker meltdown spills into the newsroom, the breaks, and basically the entire show. From there, the guys pivot to a throwback clip of Steve Cohen admitting he wants the Mets to model themselves after the Dodgers, and why that gap still feels massive beyond the farm system. Then the conversation swings to how Tucker's decision can ripple to the Yankees with Cody Bellinger, including why Toronto suddenly looms as a real threat if they are willing to throw big years and money around. And because it's New York sports radio, the segment closes with a true courtroom drama: Evan's infamous “Edwin Díaz re-signed” line versus Craig Carton's “I believe” Kyle Tucker guarantee. Who committed the bigger sports talk felony, and can “I believe” really save you when you were ready to take credit if you were right?
Evan lays out why Cody Bellinger is simply not a realistic option for the Mets, even with the Yankees reportedly sitting around five years and $160 million. If the Mets refused to go long-term for Kyle Tucker or Pete Alonso, why would they suddenly cave to Scott Boras now? The discussion turns to what desperation would actually look like, why David Stearns and Steve Cohen are unlikely to abandon their principles, and why relying on the kids may be the real outcome if no clean pivot exists. The guys also agree that pitching should be the priority regardless, and explain why even missing on Tucker does not mean the Mets are about to hand out contracts they do not believe in.
Mike discusses Kyle Tucker choosing the Dodgers over the Mets, and how the Dodgers continue to find ways to sign players while Steve Cohen and David Stearns cannot seem to land anyone with the Mets, while letting good players walk away.00:20 Mets Miss on Kyle Tucker06:13 Dodgers' Strategic Spending09:22 Cohen's Ownership Challenges15:02 Financially Divided League18:44 Cohen and Stearns Have No Plan
(SHOW OPEN): Blame for the Mets' failed pursuit of Kyle Tucker falls on Steve Cohen more than David Stearns.
Craig Carton and Chris “C-Mac” McMonigle break down the stunning news of Kyle Tucker choosing the Dodgers over the Mets and what it means for Steve Cohen and the Mets' offseason strategy. The guys debate whether the Mets should have matched the Dodgers' massive offer, discuss payroll philosophy, luxury tax penalties, and why Bo Bichette's signing helps soften the blow—while also hurting the Phillies.
Craig Carton and Chris “C-Mac” McMonigle dive deep into the real details behind the Mets' pursuit of Kyle Tucker and explain why Steve Cohen didn't actually get outbid by the Dodgers. The guys reveal the contract structure, opt-outs, signing bonuses, and deferred money that shaped Tucker's decision.
Mets fans are running out of patience, and it all comes down to one name. Evan and Tiki break down why signing Kyle Tucker would not make this a perfect offseason, but could absolutely save it. They dig into the bidding war with the Dodgers and Blue Jays, Steve Cohen's willingness to flex financially, and David Stearns' short term contract philosophy. Plus, why missing out on Tucker would leave the Mets banking on too many maybes, reopen the Pete Alonso wound, and make this offseason feel just as bleak as it did a month ago. Everything is on the line in the next 24 hours.
The Mets are making a real push for Kyle Tucker, with reports of a massive short term, high AAV offer that fits David Stearns and Steve Cohen's recent roster philosophy. The crew debates whether the Mets can actually beat out the Dodgers or Blue Jays, and why Tucker might prefer a short deal to reenter a thin future free agent market.
With Craig Carton off the air, Chris McMonigle takes over solo and delivers a passionate breakdown of the Mets' most aggressive move of the offseason. C-Mac reacts to reports that the Mets are willing to offer Kyle Tucker up to $50 million per year on a short-term deal, explaining why Tucker is the best free agent bat on the market and exactly what the Mets need after losing Pete Alonso.

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.
