Yankees & Mets: Time to Stop Fearing Mistakes and Start Spending Like LA!
Update: 2025-11-13
Description
BT & Sal ignite a fierce debate on how the Yankees and Mets can realistically compete with the Dodgers' powerhouse, star-stockpiling strategy. They argue that both New York teams must stop being "afraid to make mistakes" and aggressively "eat" bad contracts to maintain a competitive edge, just like the Yankees of old.
The conversation centers on the Dodgers' financial model, specifically the Ohtani deferral deal, which Sal calls a "perfect storm" built on a willing star, and question why the Mets and Yankees haven't been as innovative. For the Yankees, they explore bold moves like trading Rodón to make room for an elite arm like Skubal and question the value of trading a top prospect like Lombard for a rental. The bottom line: The Dodgers have raised the bar, and New York must match the intensity and financial bravado.
