Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata ·

2025/11/19

BT & Sal are demanding that the Yankees finally go on a "big offseason" spending spree and become aggressive in their pursuit of a championship. They debate the necessity of re-signing Cody Bellinger (arguing that losing him makes the team worse) and whether the team has the "appetite" for a massive, multi-year contract for a star like Alex Bregman (predicted to cost about $173M). The hosts also slam the organization for its glut of positional players (DHs, limited defenders) and insist that to

2025/11/19

BT & Sal go head-to-head on the stunning news of Trent Grisham accepting the $22 million qualifying offer (QO), a move most experts (and the Yankees' front office) reportedly didn't see coming. Sal is convinced this is an "F" for Brian Cashman, arguing that Grisham is an "October liability" who strikes out too much and whose defensive decline is a major issue, especially against quality pitching. Tierney, however, views the reaction as an overreaction, arguing that the one-year deal is manageable

2025/11/19

BT and Sal unleash a fiery discussion about Trent Grisham's decision to accept the qualifying offer ($22 million), with BT calling it a "colossal mistake" by the Yankees' front office, who seemingly misread his willingness to take the one-year deal. BT views the move as the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," arguing the allure of a compensatory pick blindsided them. Sal, however, believes Grisham is still a valuable commodity who can be used as a high-end fourth outfielder or trade

BT & Sal put producer Hoff in the hot seat for a fiery round of "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth!" The trio debates three scorching hot takes: Whether David Stearns will use a baseball version of AI to construct the 2026 Mets roster.

The fiery discussion focuses heavily on Pete Alonso's future, as an industry source suggests the Mets' maximum offer is a "disrespectful" 2+1 deal at around $30 million per year.
