Hour 3: BREAKING Mets Sign Bo Bichette, Evan Takes a Victory Lap  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Fri Jan 16 2026
Description: The show comes to a screeching halt with legitimate breaking news as the Mets land Bo Bichette on a three-year, $126 million deal, and Evan immediately reminds everyone he called the pivot before it happened. Evan and Tiki react in real time to the signing, the massive AAV, the opt-out structure, and what this move says about how David Stearns is operating in the market. They break down where Bichette fits defensively, why third base appears to be the early plan, and how much offensive ground this actually recovers after losing Pete Alonso and Kyle Tucker. The guys debate the risk of one-year and two-year opt outs, the surprising draft pick cost, and whether this is a necessary concession in today’s marketplace. Plus, what this move means for Philadelphia after reportedly agreeing to a long-term deal, how Toronto now pivots, why Cody Bellinger still does not make sense for the Mets, and whether this finally changes the tone of a chaotic Mets offseason. Live calls, instant reactions, and a full breakdown of how the roster and expectations shift after the biggest move yet.
