Part 8/12:
One of the more analytical portions of the show discusses off-season moves, focusing on teams like the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets. Russo emphasizes the difficulty the Tigers face with key players like Spencer Schubel (referred to as “Scoo”), questioning whether they should trade their star before free agency, or hold onto him for a potential playoff run.
Regarding the Mets, Russo criticizes the club management’s past decisions, especially the mishandling of Pete Alonso and the disappointment in their performance. He underscores the importance of financial prudence balanced with aggressive talent acquisition, noting that the Mets need to add a big pitcher to compete effectively.
