Hour 1: Stearns' BACKSTAB: Is Correa Mendoza's Replacement in Waiting?
Update: 2025-10-15
Description
BT and Sal dive into a fiery debate over the New York Mets' controversial hiring of an analytics-driven bench coach, Kai Correa, viewing it as a clear sign that Mets President David Stearns has placed manager Carlos Mendoza on a perilously short leash. The hosts argue that forcing an "arranged marriage" with an unfamiliar coach emasculates Mendoza and signals a flaw in the team's top-down, analytical philosophy.
The discussion also turns to the Yankees, as shortstop Anthony Volpe undergoes shoulder surgery. BT and Sal express skepticism, questioning if the injury is an excuse for his first three years of offensive struggles and criticizing the organization's continued analytical overreach—highlighting a shared, frustrating trend across both New York ballclubs. The segment concludes with Speaker 1 (BT) recounting his hilarious, anxiety-ridden experience of an unexpectedly brutal late-night on a TV set, leaving him operating on minimal sleep.
