Part 4/8:
James emphasizes the importance of not overcommitting to long-term contracts for pitchers over 30, likening the current environment to that of a buyer's market. He argues that the Mets should consider cheaper, high-upside pitchers who can be developed rather than focusing solely on big-name signings. The need for a pivot in player acquisition strategies is heavily discussed, as the team grapples with the need to balance short-term competitiveness against building a sustainable roster for the future.
