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?
