Part 10/12:
Crustin proposes that the Mets are likely to turn to other relief options, such as Giovanni Suarez or Pete Fairbanks, but stresses that none are quite Diaz. The loss of the best reliever in baseball isn't easily replaced, and such an upgrade could have been a key to postseason success.
The hosts discuss whether the Mets' reluctance to spend, despite having the resources, hints at deeper issues within the organization's leadership philosophy. They suggest that Cohen and team officials should reconsider their approach—prioritizing winning and valuing their players over cautious, penny-pinching strategies.
