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.

As 2025 comes to a close, Alec and Ed hit pause on the chaos and look ahead — breaking down New York baseball’s New Year’s resolutions for 2026 based on where the Mets and Yankees actually stand right now. No fantasy rebuilds, no hindsight bias — just honest, roster-driven goal-setting with a little optimism and a lot of perspective.

The Mets’ conversation centers on identity, continuity, and turning raw talent into sustained belief, while the Yankees’ focus shifts toward balance, accountability, and getting more out of a roster that’s been knocking on the door. From lineup construction to clubhouse tone, each team gets a resolution rooted in reality — and framed through the lens of growth rather than panic.

The episode widens into a holistic look at what “success” really means for both franchises in 2026, touching on pressure, expectations, fan trust, and the fine line between patience and urgency. As always, the rivalry stays alive, the banter stays sharp, and the takes stay honest. A year-end reflection, a forward-looking reset, and a classic Battle for the Big Apple send-off — Episode 23 closes out 2025 the only way we know how.

The offseason spotlight shifts to the Winter Meetings, and New York baseball is once again at the center of the chaos. In Episode 22, Alec and Ed break down how the Mets and Yankees are approaching the stove — comparing big moves, notable non-moves, and what each front office is actually trying to fix heading into the new season. From roster trust to organizational intent, the Subway Series rivalry finds new life in December.

The conversation widens as league-wide dominoes begin to fall, with trades and signings that could quietly reshape the playoff picture — and directly impact both New York teams’ paths forward. Who’s winning the Winter Meetings so far, who’s getting boxed out, and where are the real opportunities hiding? The episode closes with a classic Battle for the Big Apple twist: outrageous ideas that just might work, sneaky moves that could age beautifully, and one pure chaos scenario that could flip a division on its head. Rumors, rivalry, and offseason overreactions — Episode 22 has it all.
