S5 E21: Looking Back On 2026, Stearns’ Presser, Bichette Decision, Lockout Will Make For Odd Winter
The 2026 Mets season is officially in the books. We look back on the highs, lows, surprises, and biggest storylines from a season that had plenty to talk about, before diving into David Stearns’ end-of-season press conference and what it could tell us about the direction of the organization.
Plus, we weigh in on Bo Bichette’s decision regarding his Opt Out and how it could affect the rest of the roster. We also look at how the looming MLB lockout could make for one of the strangest and most unpredictable off-seasons in recent memory.
It’s our final look back at 2026 — and a first look ahead to what could be a very interesting winter in Queens.
