Description: BT & Sal torch Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner for being "tone-deaf" and prioritizing the business over winning championships, specifically criticizing his $100 million payment to the city excuse. The hosts argue that Hal's complacency with Cashman and the team's lack of development is costing them a World Series. The focus then shifts to the Mets and an aggressive hypothetical trade for Fernando Tatis Jr. Sal argues that Tatis, despite his $300 million contract, is a better investment due to his age (26) and elite defense than free agents like Bellinger or Tucker. Finally, Brian Baldinger joins to dismantle the 2-10 Giants' claim that they're better than their record, calling out their defensive breakdowns. They discuss the Lions' struggles, the Bears' legitimacy, and whether Jets fans can trust QB prospect Cam Ward.
