The New York Mets just watched their core get blown up in 24 hours. Edwin Díaz walks to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year, $69 million deal, and now reports say Pete Alonso is heading to the Baltimore Orioles for five years and $155 million. On this episode of Locked Up Sports, Bob breaks down how we got here: why the Mets couldn't (or wouldn't) keep their All-Star closer and their all-time home run leader, what the Brandon Nimmo–for–Marcus Semien trade really says about David Stearns' vision, and how all of this fits next to Juan Soto's record-shattering 15-year, $765 million contract. We'll hit the fan revolt, the front office spin, and then flip it forward: if you actually wanted to improve on last year's 83–79 season, is this really the way to do it? Or is there a path where losing Alonso and Díaz is step one of a bigger plan?

The New York Mets have been active so far early in this off-season but reports a swirling about them leaving the winter meetings with a big-time free agent slugger under contract. we discussed who that slugger is and if David Stearns will pull the trigger on a signing that could shift power within the divisionwe discuss the locker room nonsense reported this week about players not getting along and explain why it's not a big deal and a non-storyMarcus Semien, Why he's more than just an upgrade defensively and how we can help this team with his bat and improve the lineup heading into next season. All that and more as we get you up to speed on the Mets hot stove report

The New York Giants just can't get out of their own way. In Mike Kafka's first game as interim head coach, Big Blue blew an early lead and fell 27–20 to the Packers at MetLife, dropping to 2–9 on the season and extending their losing streak to five games. On this episode of Locked Up Sports, Bob and Brett break down everything from Jameis Winston's up-and-down performance in relief of Jaxson Dart, to a defense that once again melted in the fourth quarter, to a run game that flashed with Tyrone Tracy Jr. but couldn't carry them all the way. Then we turn the page to Week 12 in Detroit, where the Giants are more than 10-point underdogs against Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and a 6–4 Lions team looking to bounce back after a frustrating 16–9 loss in Philly. We'll hit the betting line, matchups, injury updates on Dart's concussion status, and what a realistic “path to an upset” looks like — if there even is one — as the Giants look to snap an 11-game road losing streak.

It's Mike Kafka's debut as Giants head coach, Jameis Winston's first start of 2025, and a banged-up 2–8 Giants team trying to upset a 5-3-1 Packers squad fighting for NFC playoff position. We'll break down Jets–Patriots drive by drive, talk about Henderson's breakout, Maye's MVP buzz, the future at QB for the Jets, and then dive into matchups, injuries, and keys to Giants–Packers plus the biggest games on the Week 11 slate, including Lions–Eagles, Seahawks–Rams, Bucs–Bills and the Madrid game. #NFL, #NFLWeek11, #Jets, #Patriots, #JetsNation, #TakeFlight, #GoPats, #Giants, #GiantsPride, #GoPackGo, #GiantsVsPackers, #NewYorkFootball, #LockedUpSports, #NYCSports, #FootballPodcast

The Mets are officially on the clock in Vegas. Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz have both hit free agency after opting out of their deals, and David Stearns is trying to thread the needle between keeping his stars and reshaping the roster. We break down the latest from the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, what Scott Boras is saying about Alonso, where things stand with Díaz after a dominant 2025, and which free agents Stearns should be targeting as the market opens.
