Summary

The Mets fanbase is melting down over Edwin Díaz signing with the Dodgers, a move Boomer paradoxically believes guarantees they'll sign Pete Alonso, while the industry fears the Dodgers' spending power is so dominant it will force an MLB lockout in 2027. Díaz ultimately "didn't want to be here," giving the Mets a small shield from the chaos.

Edwin Diaz go to the Dodgers to see Kyle Schorber re-sign with the Phillies. And the reaction to

0:06.6

Edwin Diaz from Mets fans was like they traded Tom Seaver again. Now, I understand why you may be

0:14.5

upset, but the level of upset to me was I couldn't understand it. And by the way, if you're really angry at somebody,

0:24.2

you know, Edwin Diaz did not want to be in New York Met any longer. He wanted to go to L.A.

0:29.4

And if you just want Steve Cohen and David Serge to pay everybody over market value and just

0:36.5

blow up the payroll because they don't want to lose anybody, then okay, fine, if that's your argument, but that's not going to happen. So they need to rebound, they need to do some things to get the fan base back. And if they lose Pete Alonzo after what I saw yesterday, there's going to be people canceling season ticket plans left and right. Good morning, Boomer.

0:54.4

How are you?

0:55.0

Yeah, good morning, Jay.

So, you know, I would think the biggest winner out of all this is going to be Pete Alonzo. So look for a six-year, $180 million contract coming down the pipe pretty soon, especially with what Kyle Forber. Six-year, huh? You watch. You watch. It's going to be a big one. It's going to be a mammoth one and the Mets are going to have to pay it.

1:11.4

What makes you say that?

1:12.5

I just, I just, it's going to be it's going to be a big one it's going to be a mammoth one and the Mets are going to have to pay it uh you know first of all i just i just it's the the reaction and you know david sterns ran a small market team he was a met fan growing up he came back here you are now in the deep end my friend and if you are not going to be aggressive and going to get your guys,

1:47.9

then the Dodgers is just going to buy everybody. And by the way, this is one of the reasons why there's going to be a lockout because three quarters of the league are looking at the Dodgers going, what the hell are you guys doing? You're killing us. We can't keep up. There's just no way. It's actually a joke. Now, we all know that you have to stay healthy, just like the Dodgers did.

1:45.7

There were. we can't keep up. There's just no way. It's actually a joke. Now, we all know that you have to stay healthy,

1:51.3

just like the Dodgers did. There were many opportunities for the Blue Jays to beat them in the World Series.

They didn't do it. This doesn't guarantee anything, but what it does do, it raises the stakes for everybody in Major League Baseball, and for all those small market owners out there, Cincinnati reds the Pittsburgh pirates the Tampa Bay raise you know they might as well

just fold up shop because they don't have a chance and you know when you are swimming in the

2:09.5

deep end like David Stearns is like Brian Cashman is you know you got to be creative now this is

2:15.6

one of the reasons why they opted really

2:18.0

quickly to go get Devin Williams. Now we know the answer why, because if you think that these

2:23.1

general managers and these agents don't know what is potentially out there for each of these
