The Mets finally pull the trigger on the move they’ve been circling for what feels like forever, landing Luis Robert Jr. and immediately reshaping the conversation around their lineup. Evan, Tiki, and Shaun break down why the deal makes sense even with the obvious red flags: recent struggles, durability concerns, and the price tag.

They debate the upside of a true change of scenery in New York, what Robert’s defense means for a team that badly needed real center field stability, and why this is a low risk swing with potentially massive reward.

Plus, the ripple effect: where does this leave the Mets in the Cody Bellinger chase, and why Yankees fans might be feeling more confident today than they did yesterday as the staredown with Scott Boras continues.

The hour also touches on growing buzz around the Giants, adding another major New York storyline to a packed opening segment.
