After Pete Alonso officially became the Mets' all-time home run leader, BT and Sal got into a fiery debate about his future with the team. Sal believes that this historic moment, combined with Alonso's strong performance, makes it impossible for Steve Cohen to let him walk in free agency. BT, however, argued that it's a sentimental take that ignores the business side of baseball, citing Alonso's age and the team's past hesitation to sign him long-term. Both hosts agreed that the fans would revolt if the Mets let their homegrown home run king leave, but they couldn't agree on whether the team's front office will prioritize this emotional connection over cold, hard business logic.
