In this emotionally charged episode of Giant Mess, Neal Lynch reacts to one of the most frustrating offseasons in Mets history. From trading Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien, letting Pete Alonso walk to the Orioles, and watching Edwin Díaz head to L.A., Neal dives into all the monumental moves, the questionable decisions by David Stearns, and the eerie silence from Steve Cohen.

Is the focus on defense worth dismantling the heart of the team? Has Stearns pulled the plug too soon? With Soto left standing and everyone else gone, what’s next for the Mets—and for a fanbase already reeling? Neal unpacks it all with his signature blend of heart, humor, and heartbreak.
