Bo meets New York media and reviews are mixed

Bichette leaves Toronto, spurns Philadelphia but are Mets his "dream job"

After missing out on Kyle Tucker, Mets owner Steve Cohen pivoted quickly to Bo Bichette, triggering a ripple effect across MLB free agency. On Exit Philosophy, Griff and Mal break down Bo’s awkward Mets introduction, questions about leaving the Blue Jays, opt-outs after years 1-2, and the Phillies deal that fell apart after Cohen’s 3-year, $126-million panic attack. We also cover the 2026 Hall of Fame results, a weak first-year-candidate ballot, a look ahead to Buster Posey and the 2027 class, plus MLB Network’s Top 100 list—highlighting the Blue Jays, Dodgers, re-ranking the AL East and a debate over John Schneider vs. Dave Roberts given the respective talent on the respective rosters. NOTE: If you were watching Mitch Marner’s return to Toronto with Vegas on Friday night, simply fast forward to June 29 at Rogers Centre when Bichette makes his return with the Mets. Cheers for the tribute video, boos the rerst of the time. But Bo deserves more respect and appreciation than that.
