With spring training almost underway, Alec and Ed are officially back in baseball mode.
Episode 24 delivers a full offseason breakdown for both the Mets and Yankees — every key addition and what it actually means heading into 2026. No recycled narratives, no panic takes — just honest evaluation of how these rosters stack up right now.
The Mets conversation focuses on whether this retooled group can turn potential into consistency, while the Yankees’ side centers on did they meaningfully improve or are they once again banking on what they already have?
The episode also zooms out to identify the most concerning division rivals and which teams quietly strengthened their position over the winter.
Spring training has begun. Expectations are forming. Baseball is back — almost.
