BT & Sal launch into a passionate defense of the Mets' bold decision to trade Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien. They argue that despite Nimmo's high character, the move was a necessary, "emotionless decision" to break up a non-winning core, upgrade the defense with the Gold Glove Semien at second base, and free up a position to acquire a better offensive outfielder (like Bellinger or Tucker). Sal argues the trade makes a Pete Alonso extension a necessity, as the Mets cannot afford to lose two major bats. They also preview the big Thanksgiving Day Football slate, focusing on the highly anticipated Chiefs vs. Cowboys matchup, and discuss their reactions to the Alex Rodriguez documentary, with Tierney expressing a soft spot for the flawed former Yankee star.
