Summary

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the mounting questions around the Mets, from alleged clubhouse tension to David Stearns’ willingness to reshape the franchise without sentimentality. A caller’s theory about Francisco Lindor opens the door to a larger debate about whether personality conflicts matter when a team is losing. The conversation turns to Carlos Mendoza’s job security, why the Mets have not made a managerial change despite collapses and comparisons to other teams, and whether ownership and the front office are reluctant to admit a mistake. Evan and Tiki also revisit the strange timing of Willie Randolph’s firing and wonder if history could repeat itself with Mendoza.
