Things are getting messy in New York. Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray are joined by @brookeknowsball to break down Juan Soto’s strange return, the Mets trying to survive without Francisco Lindor, and whether the Yankees’ dominant pitching can carry a flawed offense.

On this episode of The Baseball Insiders, Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray break down what’s really going on behind the scenes in New York, why Carlos Mendoza’s job security is already a talking point, and whether anything could actually force David Stearns or Steve Cohen to act.

They also explore possible replacement candidates if things spiral, and shift to Kansas City where unexpected Salvador Perez drama and a rough stretch have people quietly asking: is Matt Quatraro on the hot seat?
