BT & Sal dissect the growing Mets fan frustration with President of Baseball Operations David Stearns, as callers question his 'clipping coupons' strategy for pitching and whether he's the guy fans thought he was. They debate the fine line between rebuilding and recklessness, especially after missing out on top-tier free agents.
The hosts then zero in on Pete Alonso and the argument for his return, with Sal tearing apart the "misleading" .993 fielding percentage and insisting that Pete must transition to a part-time DH role for the Mets to become a championship team.
In a highly anticipated interview, Henrik Lundqvist opens up about the heart condition, recurrent pericarditis, and the emotional "turn-around" that ultimately forced him to retire, providing a poignant pause in the fiery baseball debates.
