Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts

Brian Cashman has one nonnegotiable job at the trade deadline: find a major-league catcher. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash warn that returning with Austin Wells and the Yankees' current options would be an insult to a frustrated fan base, even as Evan predicts a deal will get done.

The Yankees are running out of time to fix an offense that has made every victory feel nearly impossible. Shaun Morash is already furious with Brian Cashman, warning that the best trade targets are disappearing while the Yankees wait until the deadline's final hours. Evan Roberts pushes back, arguing that the front office cannot be judged until the deadline actually passes. The debate covers New York's desperate need for a catcher, the uncertainty surrounding Adley Rutschman's medicals, Austin Wells' ideal role and why Jazz Chisholm may not have a long-term future in the Bronx. Evan and Shaun also explain how dominant pitching masked a miserable lineup during a 6-4 road trip before questioning whether Mets fans have finally grown tired of celebrating the 1986 championship team.

Brian Cashman's trade deadline approach has Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees are headed for another crushing disappointment. With catcher still an obvious weakness and the Red Sox pushing for Adley Rutschman, Shaun argues that New York is merely trying to improve instead of building a World Series champion. Evan Roberts agrees a catcher is mandatory but refuses to declare the deadline a disaster before it ends. Shaun also ranks the most exciting Yankees deadline deals of his lifetime, from David Cone to Cecil Fielder. Plus, Howie Rose delivers a brutal line about Jorge Polanco, callers debate the Dodgers' deferred contracts, and the bizarre fishing injury suffered by Mets prospect Gabe Davis leaves everyone searching for answers.

Adley Rutschman reportedly nearing a trade to the Red Sox sends Shaun Morash into a full Yankees meltdown. With Boston closing in on New York and catcher remaining the Yankees' biggest need, Shaun calls it a disgrace that Brian Cashman could let his division rival land the deadline's most appealing option. Evan Roberts urges patience, reminding him that the deal is not complete and wondering whether Baltimore leaked the talks to pressure the Yankees into improving their offer. The deadline panic also sparks debate over Luis Garcia Jr., Luke Weaver's trade value and whether Cashman still has the urgency to build a championship roster. Plus, Cam Skattebo reveals that Giants coach John Harbaugh was not happy about his backflip.

The Freddy Peralta trade officially looks like a Mets disaster, and Evan Roberts revisits the warning he issued when New York surrendered two top prospects for a one-year rental. After hearing the station's original reactions, Evan and Shaun Morash rank who came closest to getting it right and unload on Peralta's five ERA, short starts and complete failure to deliver. Peralta's move to Tampa Bay creates another nightmare scenario if the Rays immediately fix him, while Evan explains why the debacle has given him a new appreciation for Mike Hampton. The conversation also turns to the Yankees' aggressive bullpen pursuit, a reported Will Warren offer for Adrian Morejon, possible Jacob deGrom trade destinations and Harrison Bader's latest alleged scooter incident.

The Dodgers landing Tarik Skubal forces Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash to admit an uncomfortable truth: Yankees and Mets fans are jealous of the machine Los Angeles has built. Evan says New York's teams have the money and resources to operate the same way, while Shaun argues the Dodgers' dominance proves Major League Baseball is fundamentally broken.

The Yankees still have no clear timetable for Aaron Judge, and Evan Roberts fears the captain may not return until the postseason. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan as they examine how Giancarlo Stanton's recovery and the arrival of Luis Garcia Jr. could create a complicated lineup puzzle, including the possibility of Stanton returning to the outfield. They also push back against concerns about adding a new catcher to a dominant pitching staff, arguing that the Yankees' unacceptable production at the position outweighs any adjustment period. Plus, Garcia's awkward defensive fit matters far less to an offense desperate for power, and his extra year of control could make him the eventual replacement for Jazz Chisholm Jr.

The Yankees' decision to dump Camilo Doval becomes a brutal reminder that trade deadline excitement can age terribly. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash replay their euphoric reaction to last year's deal, admit they had no idea how badly it would fail, and credit Brian Cashman for moving on instead of doubling down on a mistake. As the Yankees wait for more help after adding Luis Garcia Jr., the Mets begin their painful sell-off. Evan calls it a necessary but dark day, refusing to pretend that a collection of unfamiliar prospects is immediately exciting. The returns may become valuable lottery tickets, but for now they only underline how far the Mets have fallen.

Brian Cashman added desperately needed power with Luis Garcia Jr., but Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash warn the Yankees cannot stop there. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as they debate Garcia versus Luis Arraez, why the Yankees were right to prioritize offense over positional fit, and whether Garcia could eventually replace Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle debate over the potential impact John Harbaugh will have on the Giants. Plus, reaction to Malik Nabers starting camp completely off the PUP list (23:55); Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash on if it's playoffs or bust for the Giants (32:30); Evan argues the Giants should sign Vita Vea (50:03)

Tiki Barber is already putting Geno Smith on notice, declaring that Cade Klubnik should get the QB1 if he outplays the veteran in training camp and the preseason. Plus, Evan and Tiki can already see the Jets' use of AI going hilariously wrong. Boomer and Gio wonder if Aaron Glenn's job is tied to how Geno performs this season, and The Carton Show reacts to Plaxico Burress comparing playing for the Jets to being in prison.

Gregg Giannotti has had enough of the Aaron Boone criticism when it is never followed by any kind of praise. He says Boone's critics who also rip the Yankees' use of analytics need to be consistent in their arguments. Plus, Evan Roberts says vintage Gerrit Cole has returned, and the rest of the American League should be scared. Chris McMonigle calls for Brian Cashman to stack the deck with pitching if there isn't a significant bat available at the trade deadline, and Boomer and Gio wonder why Boone doesn't have better odds to win Manager of the Year.

Baker Mayfield feels disrespected by Tampa Bay, and Tiki Barber believes the Jets must immediately explore whether the contract standoff has created a rare opportunity. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they argue that Mayfield's toughness, leadership and proven competence could finally pull the Jets out of their decade-long quarterback abyss. Tiki says New York cannot keep prioritizing future draft picks while the franchise remains irrelevant, even suggesting the Jets should consider using one of their three first-round selections. They debate whether Tampa Bay is already crumbling, why waiting for the next quarterback class could backfire, and whether Mayfield could transform the Jets into a playoff contender or become a midseason trade target.

Malik Nabers is progressing faster than expected, but the Giants' optimism comes with a serious warning. NFL reporter Connor Hughes explains why Nabers could contribute against the Cowboys in Week 1 barring a setback, while revealing that the rest of the wide receiver room has left plenty to be desired. Odell Beckham Jr. has endured a quiet start and is far from guaranteed a roster spot, while Abdul Carter is already wrecking practices. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they examine how John Harbaugh has immediately brought professionalism and raised the Giants' floor. They also react to Tony Romo being placed on leave by CBS and debate whether Baker Mayfield could become the stabilizing quarterback the Jets desperately need.

The Yankees are depleted, inconsistent and desperate for help before the trade deadline. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they explain why injuries to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Cody Bellinger and potentially Jazz Chisholm have left the offense unable to survive. With fundamental mistakes piling up and every game feeling like the same frustrating coin flip, the Yankees need players who can keep the season afloat until their stars return.

Aaron Boone has reached his breaking point with a Yankees lineup that cannot score, but Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber question whether the manager is doing enough to fix it. Shaun demands an end to Trent Grisham batting leadoff, argues Jasson Domínguez deserves the extra opportunities and warns that another early deficit could leave the Yankees dead in the water against the Cubs. Boone's frustration earns some respect, but his latest reference to runs as “points” sends Shaun into a full baseball rant. The conversation also turns to Will Warren's recent struggles, the pressure surrounding potential roster upgrades and whether Boone's bullpen management helped cost the Yankees another game.

Harrison Bader's stunning scooter accident leaves Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber in disbelief after reports that he crashed into a fire truck and suffered a season-ending foot injury. Tiki calls the decision irresponsible, while Shaun launches into a fiery rant about electric scooters taking over trains and sidewalks. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they also examine the leadership void facing the injury-ravaged Yankees and explain why the trade deadline must provide enough offense to survive until Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton return. Plus, the show ranks the greatest NFL revenge games, leading Tiki to relive his 234-yard, three-touchdown performance against Washington in his final regular-season game.

The Yankees are running out of healthy impact bats, and Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber to explain why the pressure is rising before the trade deadline. With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger already unavailable, Jazz Chisholm's latest injury scare could force the Yankees to reconsider every possible move.

Baker Mayfield could be the stabilizing force the Jets desperately need. The argument is simple: New York cannot afford another losing season, another coaching change and another complete organizational reset. Mayfield's leadership, toughness and ability to revive struggling teams make him an opportunity the Jets have to explore.

Shaun and Tiki also react to Tony Romo being placed on leave by CBS and J.J. Watt stepping into the booth with Jim Nantz. Plus, they examine the Rams' mysterious Ty Simpson selection, revisit the Lamar Jackson versus Josh Allen MVP debate, and explain why improved coaching has created legitimate optimism for both New York football teams.

Malik Nabers is recovering faster than expected, and Connor Hughes believes the Giants' optimism about a Week 1 return is justified barring a setback. But his progress also exposes the team's biggest concern: a wide receiver room that has failed to produce a clear No. 2 option. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as Hughes explains why Odell Beckham Jr. still has to earn his roster spot, how John Harbaugh has immediately made Giants camp feel more professional, and why Abdul Carter is already taking over practices against Andrew Thomas. The Giants may have raised their floor, but their passing game still depends heavily on Nabers getting healthy.

Jets fans are tired of waiting, and several callers are ready to sacrifice premium draft picks to bring Baker Mayfield to New York. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they debate whether Mayfield could be more than a bridge quarterback and finally make the Jets relevant again. Tiki argues that uncertain draft prospects should not stop the Jets from pursuing a proven leader, while skepticism about Geno Smith only strengthens the case for an upgrade. A Tampa caller explains why the Buccaneers may hesitate to pay Mayfield, the discussion expands to other quarterback-needy teams, and one unforgettable caller takes the Jets' search to an absurd new level by proposing a trade for Patrick Mahomes.

Baker Mayfield says he feels disrespected by Tampa Bay, and Tiki Barber sees a major opportunity for the Jets. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they argue that New York should aggressively explore a trade before another quarterback-needy team beats them to it. Tiki believes Mayfield's toughness, leadership and proven ability would instantly upgrade a shaky Jets quarterback room and help stop the franchise from falling deeper into its losing cycle. Shaun pushes the idea even further, wondering whether Tampa Bay's contract standoff could eventually lead to a trade and whether the Jets should be willing to use one of their three first-round picks to make it happen.

Evan takes you through not only a deep dive of David Stearns deadline trades, but also the New York Mets history as well!

In a shorter show than usual ahead of the final game for the Yankees vs the White Sox we look back on what may have been the worst loss of the season and another NFL Training Camp game of "New Team Who Dis"

The Yankees had a four-run lead, a dominant Cam Schlittler start and countless chances to put away the White Sox, yet somehow suffered their most infuriating loss of the season. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber unload on Ali Sanchez's disastrous decision to attempt a back pick at third base with two outs, while the offense disappeared and the bullpen failed to protect another winnable game. Aaron Boone did not lose the game with his managerial decisions, but his refusal to call Sanchez's mistake unacceptable created an even bigger controversy. Evan and Tiki debate whether Boone's constant protection of his players represents the same lack of accountability that could punish the Yankees again in October. Plus, the Mets' collapsing attendance, Spencer Jones being removed despite a strong night and Tiki's surprising memories of “The Baseball Bunch.”

Cam Schlittler may already be the Yankees' ace, but should he take the ball over Gerrit Cole in Game 1 of a playoff series? Evan Roberts argues Schlittler has earned the biggest assignment right now, while Shaun Morash leans on Cole's experience and proposes saving the young star for potential elimination games. Tiki Barber explains why Cole can mentor Schlittler while still desperately wanting to remain the man. The debate expands into Aaron Boone's looming decision, Max Fried's place in the rotation and the backlash the Yankees could face if they choose wrong. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also test their NFL offseason knowledge in “New Team, Who Dis,” examine Breece Hall's contract compared with the exploding running back market.

Don Mattingly publicly fires back at Bryce Harper, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the Phillies' growing dysfunction could end with a franchise-altering breakup. They debate whether Mattingly was holding his star accountable or simply protecting the front office and his son, then explore a blockbuster Bryce Harper-for-Francisco Lindor trade that could completely reshape the Mets and Phillies. Evan and Tiki weigh Harper's fit alongside Juan Soto, Lindor's uncertain future in Queens and why the proposed swap could end badly for everyone. They also revisit the Yankees' extra-inning failures, debate their trade-deadline options, react to Shaun Morash's controversial pizza rankings and question whether a LeBron James documentary can recreate the impact of The Last Dance.

Robert Saleh responds to a report that he promised the Titans would beat his former team in Week 1. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why Saleh's return makes the opener deeply personal and why a Jets loss could bury their season before it begins. Plus, the Yankees' handling of young players, Francisco Lindor's Mets future and Malik Nabers' progress at Giants camp.

Shaun Morash crowns buffalo chicken the best pizza slice of 2026 and completely leaves pepperoni out of his top five, igniting outrage from Evan Roberts and the callers. The ranking gets even more controversial when Shaun is accused of recycling an old Cinco list, forcing him to challenge the show to find the original audio. The debate expands to stuffed crust, specialty slices and why pizza crust somehow gets better with age.

Don Mattingly publicly fires back at Bryce Harper for pressuring the Phillies' front office, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the stunning response exposes a relationship nearing its breaking point. With Philadelphia struggling and Harper still seemingly angry over past criticism, Evan predicts the Phillies could seriously consider trading their superstar. That possibility leads to a wild New York blockbuster: Harper for Francisco Lindor. Evan and Tiki debate the contracts, roster fits, Juan Soto dynamics and whether either team would actually benefit, while acknowledging the deal could end disastrously for both sides. They also revisit the Yankees' extra-inning failures and why Aaron Boone's team must embrace bunting and fundamental baseball.

Breece Hall could be dramatically underpaid before his new Jets contract even begins. Tiki Barber explains why the rising running back market could leave Hall earning millions less than Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson, despite believing the Jets star is capable of producing a 1,400-yard season behind an improved offensive line.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber put their NFL offseason knowledge to the test in another tightly contested round of “New Team, Who Dis.” Christian Kirk, Nick Folk, Tyrod Taylor and several other familiar names leave both contestants scrambling to remember where they landed.

Cam Schlittler's emergence has created a high-stakes Yankees playoff debate: Has he done enough to take the Game 1 start from Gerrit Cole? Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash weigh Schlittler's current dominance against Cole's postseason experience and explain why Aaron Boone's decision will face intense scrutiny.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit the defining mistake, reject every excuse for the unnecessary gamble and explain why Aaron Boone's public defense only intensified the frustration surrounding another sloppy Yankees loss. The conversation shifts to the Mets' alarming attendance decline despite extremely cheap tickets, with Evan arguing that disappointed fans have no interest in paying to watch a team that failed to meet major expectations. Shaun Morash also questions the decision to remove Spencer Jones after his productive night.

Ali Sanchez's disastrous throw helped turn a four-run Yankees lead into their most frustrating loss of the season. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber rip Aaron Boone's postgame defense, questioning whether the manager's refusal to demand accountability will allow the same mistakes to haunt the Yankees in October.

Geno Smith addresses the media after an up and down off season, can the Jets lean on him to surprise the NFL world? Plus the Yankees get a dominant Gerrit Cole.

The Jets have invested heavily in their offense, but everything still hinges on Geno Smith. Evan Roberts believes a strong offensive line, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson and Frank Reich give the Jets a legitimate path toward meaningful football in the winter. Tiki Barber is far less convinced, questioning whether the 36-year-old quarterback can overcome his recent turnovers and offseason distractions. Their disagreement quickly turns to rookie Cade Klubnik. Tiki insists the fourth-round pick deserves a real opportunity if he outplays Geno, while Evan argues the Jets' most realistic chance of surprising the league requires Smith to rediscover his Seattle form. They also react to Aaron Glenn's new approach, Garrett Wilson predicting a special season and the staggering amount of premium draft capital the Jets have spent trying to build a functioning offense.

Robert Saleh is reportedly promising that Tennessee will beat the Jets in Week 1, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash are ready to put his trash talk on the bulletin board. The challenge for Aaron Glenn is proving this Jets team can match its offensive talent with a defense featuring eight new starters and a head coach staking his reputation on his own play-calling. The quarterback debate remains impossible to escape. Geno Smith enters camp with questions, Cade Klubnik is already generating buzz, and the possibility of pursuing Baker Mayfield sparks a larger argument about whether the Jets should finally abandon their failed quarterback-development cycle. The Tiki Time Machine then revisits WFAN's reaction to the 2013 Geno Smith draft pick, revealing which hosts nailed the moment and how little the franchise's quarterback conversation has changed.

Evan Roberts refuses to believe Mason Miller is truly available, setting off a battle with Shaun Morash over the Yankees' biggest potential trade deadline prize. Evan accepts a double loss if Miller is traded to New York, while Tiki Barber weighs in on a bullpen that has already become one of baseball's best. Gerrit Cole's dominant return, Jazz Chisholm's game-changing defense and a vulnerable American League leave the Yankees looking increasingly dangerous. The conversation turns to the Jets using artificial intelligence, whether AI can ever be trusted with football decisions and why organizational history makes that especially terrifying. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also debate whether the Mets are cursed, Juan Soto returning for meaningless September games, the threat of no baseball in 2027 and a daylight-saving argument that becomes one of the most heated fights of the hour.

Evan, Tiki, and Shaun analyze Bryce Harper's public request for Phillies trade deadline reinforcements and the impact on the front office. They discuss Malik Nabers' injury status with the Giants and dive into the Yankees' search for a catcher as the trade deadline approaches. 01:50 - Harper Wants Trade Help 06:04 - Malik Nabers Health Update 09:33 - New York Media Gossip 12:59 - Mets Ticket Price Hike 15:59 - Early Season Must-Wins 24:52 - NFL Quarterback News 28:49 - Concussion Protocol Debate 33:24 - Stearns Trade Deadline Strategy 39:32 - Yankees Catcher Trade Rumors 44:57 - Jets Leadership Expectations

Joe Schoen says Malik Nabers will begin training camp off the PUP list and participate in individual work as the Giants closely monitor his recovery. Evan, Tiki and Shaun Morash explain why the decision creates legitimate optimism that New York's star receiver could return during the opening weeks of the season.
