The New York Mets finish 74-88 in fifth place, but Francisco Lindor hits his 300th career home run in the season finale. We discuss David Stearns' 'no mulligans' stance on Juan Soto and the absurd roster construction with five first basemen.

Key players discussed include Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, Bo Bichette, Marcus Semien, and Francisco Alvarez. Topics cover the bullpen mess, ABS robot umpire stats, and offseason predictions for the NL East contenders.

We analyze the strategic implications of losing Soto, the need to trade surplus infielders like Eric Wagaman, and how the new automated ball-strike system impacts player development for the upcoming 2026-2027 offseason.

In this episode: The Soto Exit & Stearns Strategy · Roster Battles & Bullpen Mess · Hypotheticals & Lightning Round.
