Summary
A caller challenges the idea that Giancarlo Stanton is merely a luxury for the Yankees, arguing that his power and leadership become even more valuable when Aaron Judge is unavailable. That conversation quickly expands into a larger debate about whether wealthy teams should be expected to win simply because they can spend more. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber examine what the Mets struggles reveal about roster building, why Brian Cashman may deserve more credit, and how high expectations shape the way Yankees fans judge success. They also settle their disagreement over the Yankees turning point and revisit the Ryan McMahon at bat that helped break open the offense.
