BT & Sal launch a fiery critique on the Mets and Yankees, arguing they are light years behind the Dodgers who combine aggressive spending (Ohtani, Yamamoto, Snell) with smart trading. They challenge New York to be "great, not just good" by flexing their financial muscle in multiple ways. The debate centers on the Mets' J.T. Ginn McLain dilemma: is he an untouchable asset, or should they trade him for an immediate ace like Skubal?

Plus, NFL insider Jordan Schultz's report on the Giants potentially trading Kayvon Thibodeaux sparks a discussion on helping Jackson Dart's development. Fan legend John Minko joins the show to share his bittersweet retirement story and a wild tale about being eyed as a "corporate spy" when WFAN began. Then, NFL analyst Brian Baldinger breaks down Dexter Lawrence's underwhelming performance and why the Giants must get a receiver to help Dart.
