Mike Silva examines why David Stearns’ decision to break up the Mets core is the defining story of 2025 — and one that could shape the rest of his tenure. He also dives into the rise of a new media business model born out of Stearns decision to move on from the core: rage baiting. This development will make an already delicate 2026 season even more challenging to navigate.

So, are the Mets rebuilding? Looking back at Stearns’ teams in Milwaukee may offer a clearer picture of the long-term vision. Mike wraps up the episode with the final fan mailbag of 2025.
