Hour 1: Dodgers Don’t Miss, Mets Don’t Pivot | Evan’s Tucker Meltdown & MLB Conspiracy  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Fri Jan 16 2026
Description: Tiki tries to keep it calm, Evan absolutely does not. Kyle Tucker is officially a Dodger, and the anger is not just about losing the player, it’s about how the Mets ended up stuck with no clear direction again. Evan breaks down why the Mets’ offer was real, why being “close” never matters against L.A., and how the Dodgers treat the luxury tax like pocket change. The conversation quickly turns into a full Mets identity crisis. No Pete Alonso, no obvious pivot, and spring training right around the corner. Calls pour in debating whether Tucker could survive New York, why stars keep choosing the Dodgers, and how the Mets are supposed to compete with Philly and Atlanta. Plus Evan drops a full conspiracy theory on Rob Manfred, MLB, and why the Dodgers dominating the sport might be exactly what the league wants.
