Soto Anniversary Smackdown: BT Rubs In the Mets' Failure!
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Mon Dec 08 2025
Description: The "Call of the Day" segment begins with Sal wishing BT a "happy anniversary," marking one year since the Mets signed Juan Soto to a massive $765 million deal. BT wastes no time, rubbing in the Mets' 83-win failure and the fact the Yankees made the playoffs anyway, proving you can't win in the offseason. The conversation shifts to the Winter Meetings, discussing Pete Alonso meeting with the Red Sox and Orioles, fueling speculation that the Mets' "hard line" of a three-year deal could push the Polar Bear out. The hosts then pivot to a fiery debate on PEDs and the Hall of Fame, agreeing with Buster Olney that current Hall of Famers are cowardly for not confessing their own use, which would finally clear the way for Bonds, Clemens, and A-Rod. Finally, a controversial caller challenges the legacy of Don Mattingly, prompting BT to passionately defend "Donnie Baseball" as the most beloved New York athlete of his lifetime, arguing his career was cut short by injury, not performance.
