Summary
In their post-deadline analysis, BT and Sal gave the New York Mets and Yankees a "solid" grade for their trade deadline moves, though neither felt the teams truly "crushed it." While acknowledging both clubs addressed critical bullpen needs and secured important position players (Mullins for the Mets, McMahon for the Yankees), they expressed a slight disappointment that neither team made the "over the top" blockbuster moves that would have earned them an A+ in their eyes, particularly the Yankees not landing a top-tier starter or Kwan, and the Mets settling for Mullins instead of a "splashier" center field option like Robert. Both hosts agreed that while improved, neither team went "all in" at the expense of top prospects.

From a Mets perspective, I thought there was going to be a little bit more. Can't go nuts. Yankees, I thought they should have done a little bit more. but again, can't go nuts because they added the bullpens. |
| 0:41.3 | I think it was a good deadline. Yankees, I thought they should have done a little bit more. But again, can't go nuts because they added the bullpens. |
| 0:38.7 | I think it was a good deadline. That improved both ball clubs. But I don't think it was a home run as much as people are saying. I thought you'd be a little bit more excited. I'm pumped, man. I think New York baseball is on fire right now. Think about what we've dissected here, Sal. you know, all the calls and all the debates and the conversations, really, for a couple of months now. |

| 1:16.1 | He tried. |
| 1:17.0 | Stearns could have landed one. |
| 1:18.1 | He tried. |
| 1:18.9 | But I look at these reinforcements that are that are massive upgrades and really plug in some holes that were threatening to destroy the seasons.

What do you mean they didn't get... |
| 1:45.0 | Well, they don't... |
| 1:46.0 | What? |
| 1:47.0 | Both teams got better. Yes. Okay. But did they go all in? Did they do enough? Well... The Yankees didn't get that started that they won. You could say, well, they tried. Well, trying... Since one is trying good enough? They tried. |
| 1:58.0 | You know, maybe the match tried to get Robert, but ended up with Mullins. |
| 2:00.9 | Like, it's an upgrade. |
| 2:02.1 | It's nice. |
