That was NBC's first-ever World Series broadcast.

I tried to talk about the relationship with Lindor because there was a lot of discussion about that during the offseason, but I think that cooler heads have prevailed.

I think these guys will

certainly get along.

I think they did get along.

I just think that there's changes abound, and when you look at a team that changed its core dramatically, there's a lot of questions with the Mets.

Jorge Polanco and Luis Robert and Devin Williams.

I mean, there's a lot of questions, but there's also excitement because the Mets fans believe it was time, I think, to try something new, although they said goodbye to some of their favorites.

I think if you look at the Mets and what happened after June 13th last year, they were 38-55.

And they had a $340 million payroll.

It was a collapse.

And so David Stearns talked about defense, solidifying defense first.
