Mets' Yankee Addiction: Is Michael King Really the 'Top Target'?
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Tue Dec 09 2025
Description: BT & Sal ignite the hot stove discussion, questioning the Mets' fixation on former Yankees, specifically reporting Michael King as their "top rotation target." Sal fears GM David Stearns is setting a dangerous precedent by avoiding long-term deals for top pitchers like Tatsuya Imai. They tackle the Pete Alonso saga, wondering if his personal attendance at the Winter Meetings is a sign of a weak market, and if the Red Sox's pursuit of Alex Bregman (for defense) further complicates Pete's quest for a long-term deal. The conversation heats up around Kyle Schwarber, with BT arguing for him as a priority DH target to add consistent power, and they debate if the Mets' focus on Peralta and McGill trades signals an acceptance of losing Edwin Diaz.
