Diaz Disaster: Cohen's Casino or A Closer's Betrayal?
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Tue Dec 09 2025
Description: BT & Sal dive into the "Call of the Day," focusing on the furious reaction from Mets fans following the loss of Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers. While fans accuse "Uncle Stevie" Cohen of "nickel-and-diming" and prioritizing his casino over fan favorites, Sal vehemently defends the Mets, arguing that Diaz simply preferred Los Angeles and had no interest in continuous dialogue. The co-hosts then spar over the impact of Juan Soto's massive contract, debating if it has limited the Mets' ability to build around the rest of the team and whether they'd rather have Soto over a core of Alonso, Tucker, and Diaz. The conversation is interrupted by a confrontational call from "Bob the Dodger Fan," leading Sal to take a verbal "blowtorch" to the idea of the Mets being the Dodgers' rival and the necessity of an elite closer to win a World Series. The segment concludes with a wild report of a rumored 3-year, $120 million offer for Kyle Schwarber, leaving BT and Sal questioning the team's priorities for Pete Alonso.
