Summary

New suitors have emerged in the Mets' sale and we know that we've always said "anyone but the Wilpons," but this may be a worst-case scenario!! Josh Harris and David Blitzer (owners of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils) are reportedly interested in the Mets ONLY because they can get them at a discount. Are guys that admittedly don't care about sports better than the Wilpons? The guys break down the pros and cons and pray for a Stevie Cohen miracle. We also break down why the '86 Mets are the greatest team in all of sports history, we welcome the newest draftees to the Mets' shitshow, delve into the Luis Castillo pop up anniversary and talk about the latest chapter in the Matt Harvey saga. Rob Manfred says that there's a 100% chance that there will be baseball this season, but we gotta believe that he and the owners will 100% find a way to mess this up. Full-go or no-go the pod rolls on!

0:37.7	And then, like, but I never really, like, felt it. Like, I just, the whole gang, everyone
0:43.0	forgot it was when we usually record our podcast. I thought yesterday was Wednesday for pretty
0:48.6	much the entire day. And then after, like, I, like, signed off of work for the day, like,

1:20.4	The Mets, 1986, were declared the greatest team in a 64 team simulation, which I believe the idea was take the franchise's
1:31.2	best year. Every franchise has their best team, right? So like the Reds were the best,
