Pete Alonso’s return to Citi Field reignites the fury over David Stearns letting the homegrown slugger walk. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why the Mets are undeniably worse without Alonso, why fans had every right to cheer him, and how Sandy Alderson’s defense of Pete dismantles the arguments behind the decision. With “Fire Stearns” chants ringing out, Evan says the Mets failed because they never came close to replacing their star.
Plus, the Chiefs remind everyone how dangerous they can be with Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker, the Giants face more questions about Tyrone Tracy after another fumble, and the Jets get encouraging injury news on Omar Cooper Jr. and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
