Sal & Gio: What are minimum playoff expectations for Yankees and Mets?

The Yankees and Mets each have high expectations after the trade deadline, but how high, exactly?

If you ask Gio, both need to win at least one playoff series, but for the Yankees, the floor is getting back to their first Fall Classic since 2009.


"The Yankees have to make it to the World Series, minimum," Gio said. "The Yankees have to make it to the World Series, and the Mets have to make it to the NLCS. The Mets cannot bow out prior to the NLCS this year."

For those who want to bring up the parity of the postseason, Gio doesn't want to hear it. Given all the hype and success around both teams this season, it's time for it to pay off in October.

"Anybody who tries to tell me that they would be happy with anything less than that, I challenge them to call me when that happens," Gio said. "If the Yankees are out before the World Series, or the Mets are out before the NLCS, you are gonna be pissed off, because these teams are that good, and that is what we deserve from them in 2022."
