Stearns' High-Wire Act: Mets Fans Are Done Playing Nice!
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Tue Dec 09 2025
Description: BT & Sal dive into the uproar over the Mets losing elite closer Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers for a mere three years and $\$69$ million, especially after signing Devin Williams for three years and $\$51$ million. Sal argues that the $\$18$ million difference is "absurd" and demands David Stearns justify the move, unless Diaz simply refused to return.The hosts confront angry Mets fans, reminding them that the team won only 83 games with Diaz, and that Stearns must be allowed to execute his "vision" to build a World Series winner. However, the pressure is immense, with fans now threatening to turn on Stearns and demanding he "Sign Alonso today" to prevent a total fan meltdown. The segment concludes by exploring whether a Williams/Suárez bullpen tandem could actually be an upgrade over last year's relief unit.
