Hour 3: Joe Benigno Rips Mets While Jets Hope Surges

Pete Alonso’s return sends Mets frustration boiling over as Joe Benigno unloads on David Stearns and Steve Cohen for letting the franchise star walk. Joe calls the decision one of the worst in Mets history, argues Alonso has outperformed Juan Soto, and says Andy Green deserves to remain manager after his work with the club’s young players.

The mood is much brighter around the Jets after a dominant 23-10 win over Tennessee. Joe raves about Geno Smith, Breece Hall, the offensive line and the revamped defense while predicting the Jets can beat Green Bay and become much better than expected. Plus, Aaron Judge’s response to whether a pitcher should win MVP ignites a heated debate over Cam’s candidacy and whether pitchers should ever take home the award.
