BT & Sal unleash a fiery critique on the Detroit Tigers' front office for considering waiting until the trade deadline to move ace Tarik Skubal. Sal calls the idea "idiotic" and argues Skubal's value will "never be as good as it is right now" due to the high risk of injury (citing Gerrit Cole) and the loss of team control. He demands the exec who floated the idea be fired for being a "moron." The hosts pivot to a bold Mets trade scenario: acquiring elite talent like Gold Glovers Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle from the Rockies by taking on the catastrophic contract of Kris Bryant (still owed nearly $90 million). BT shuts down the idea after discovering Doyle's alarmingly low on-base percentage, but the debate emphasizes the Mets' need to be "very creative" on the trade front.
