The final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with New York sports chaos. Evan, Tiki, and Sean react to the Mets' stunning pivot to Bo Bichette after missing on Kyle Tucker and officially closing the door on Pete Alonso. Giants fans remain on John Harbaugh watch as contract details drag on, while the guys debate what his leadership would mean for Big Blue. The hour takes a sharp emotional turn with the Rangers' brutal Friday letter signaling a reset, sparking an all-time rant from Sean. Plus, Yankees offseason questions, AL East power rankings, NFL Divisional Round picks, and plenty of passionate fan calls to close out a wild Friday on WFAN.

Send JD a text message and be heard!The @mets make their first splash of the #mlb offseason signing #bobichette to a 3-$126M deal with opt outs in year one and two.  He's also going to play 3B which he's never played in his professional career what could go wrong?  Agree with @jaymahanti & @joewillie62 he played SS so arm strength won't be a concern. Everyone is concerned about an #mlblockout in 2027.  I mean the Mets offered @ktuck_30 4-$220M but the @dodgers beat them out at 4-$240M.  $60M a season for a player who hit three more HR's and one more RBI than @anthonyvolpe who's making $3.4M.  @thejudge44 making $40M as reigning MVP & Tucker getting $20M more this season.  Tucker coming off .266-22-73 season.  Make it make sense.  @companyadjace @thomaswdonovan @nyquil_inthe_flesh @call_me_tca_prez @paddy_bailey & @brianbarnaby had a nice debate over the @yankees great pitching staff when everyone is back healthy.  Also Hal selling the team to Jeff Bezos.   It doesn't matter Cashman and Boone aren't going anywhere.  We are going to have a pool for win totals for all AL East teams this year.  As for the @nyrangers retooling letter from #chrisdrury to the fans @ari_gold24 thanks for explaining that basically Panarin, Zibanejad, Trocheck and Fox are all unmovable and Panarin is an UFA at the end of the #nhl season.  So not sure where the new blood is coming from & who's being traded to make it happen.  NFL playoff picks: @buffalobills 24-10 over @broncos sorry @steve.cohn7 @49ers 21-17 over @seahawks I just don't trust Sam Darnold @partylikearochkind @dominic.etienne @houstontexans 17-14 over @patriots @c_brown518 @d__brown15 yep I did & @rams 28-17 over @chicagobears thought about going Bears but their slow starts scare me.  Sports trivia at the finish line.All sports.

Blake Murphy and Kevin Barker are in for an offseason edition to react to Kyle Tucker signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets signing Bo Bichette, and what it means for the Blue Jays. They start with Bo and what the Jays' lineup will look like without their long-time shortstop and his fit at third base with the Mets. Then, they discuss where the Jays may turn for an impact bat, how aggressively they should approach Cody Bellinger's market, and whether adding to the bullpen is a higher priority at this point. Finally, Blake and Kevin look at Cardinals' infielder Brendan Donovan as a potential trade target, and where the Jays stand in an improved AL East if their offseason work is now complete.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Alex Bregman has signed with the Chicago Cubs. Justin and Patrick break down the deal and what it means for the Blue Jays now that Bregman is no longer in Boston OR the AL East. The guys get into the Kyle Tucker rumour mill where the New York Mets have allegedly offered him a 3-year deal for around $50 million per season. Will Tucker take a short-term deal or does he want the security of a long-term contract. Bo Bichette met with the Phillies. Have the Blue Jays already moved on or are they simply biding their time with Tucker before turning their attention to Bo?

Jared Carrabis, co-host of the Baseball is Dead podcast, joins JD Bunkis live from Boston to discuss the shifting power dynamics in the American League East, the Red Sox losing Alex Bregman, and the Bo Bichette sweepstakes. JD then hits on an impressive comeback victory from the Raptors (26:00) , before the show ends with 'What We Missed!' The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning wrap up Thursday morning by discussing the latest on Kyle Tucker and the Blue Jays' contract negotiations. They ponder whether Tucker should opt for a shorter deal amid a looming lockout.

We start the third hour diving into tonight's Headlines featuring Jaylen Brown's monster stretch, a recap of black Monday in the NFL, and the Red Sox remaining quiet while the rest of the AL East bulks up. Then, an irrational fear of Arcand's strikes up following a story in Rhode Island in the New England Nightly News. And, Drake Maye leads quarterbacks in most categories, but adding to Matthew Stafford's resume seems to be why the Rams' QB is the MVP favorite.

Big Cinco Rams-Seahawks Recap and AL East Offseason Moves

The Pete Alonso signing was big, and the team has made other noteable moves this offseason. But there is still work to do if the Orioles are going to leap back to the top of the AL East. Let's talk about it! BlueSky Twitter YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The offseason officially rolls on for the Chase for 28 crew, but optimism is in short supply. In Episode 117, Chris, the Podcast Padre, and the Podcast Paisan return to break down a Yankees winter that feels frozen in time. From the shocking qualifying offer acceptance by Trent Grisham to the continued reliance on analytics over fundamentals, the guys question whether Brian Cashman and the front office truly understand what this team needs to win in October.The conversation spans roster construction, positional logjams, and the growing frustration of running back essentially the same team. They debate Volpe's future, Ben Rice's role, the impossibility of moving Giancarlo Stanton's contract, and whether the Yankees are leaning too heavily on pitching to mask offensive flaws. Add in lockout speculation, ownership spending concerns, Asian market rumors, and a lively trivia debate, and this episode captures exactly how uneasy Yankees fans feel heading into 2026.Key Topics DiscussedWhy the Yankees made (and lost) the Trent Grisham qualifying offer gambleHow MLB qualifying offers work—and why this one backfiredHas baseball passed Brian Cashman by?Analytics vs. “using your eyes” in roster decisionsThe Yankees' youth movement paradox: Domínguez, Jones, Volpe, WellsBen Rice as catcher or first baseman—and the ripple effectsLefty-heavy lineups, balance, and Yankee Stadium roster philosophyFrustrations with bottom-of-the-lineup productionDebating contact hitters vs. power-first approachesAsian market targets: Murakami, Okamoto, Imai, and posting-system realitiesGiancarlo Stanton's contract and the need to free the DH spotPitching reliance: Cole's age, Rodón's value, and rotation trustLockout speculation and the Dodgers changing the financial landscapeAre the Yankees still true AL East favorites?Yankees Trivia

Huge news out of Camden Yards, as the Orioles have signed 31 year old first baseman Pete Alonso to a 5 year, $155 million dollar contract! After years of talk from this front office about opening up David Rubenstein's checkbook to spend money on the free agent market (and intervening swings and misses on big targets), the O's have finally landed their white whale (or, polar bear) in the longtime Mets masher. How did all of this finally come together for an organization that had become synonymous with disappointment in free agency? How does Alonso project to fit into this young clubhouse, and their aspirations to return to the top of the AL East? What does the future hold for current players that a move like this no doubt affects? The guys get into all of that, and plenty more on tonight's show.

However, there are brutal splits showing – .290 SLG vs. LHP, .420 vs. RHP2.Few players hit the ball harder than Ryan McMahon does (93.3 MPH exit velo) with decent loft. He walks a ton, but strikes out too much 32%. That is the definition of three-true-outcome player, however, he only hit 20 home runs last season, but 8 in 54 games after being traded.a.Is the dream over for 25 to 30 home runs or could it happen in 2026? 20 to 25 is more reasonable.b.He's the 34th third baseman off the board (370 ADP).

There's a ton of rumors surrounding his long-term role in NY.a.Is he worth a gamble in D&H Leagues – he's the 29th shortstop off the board? Nob.Are you a buyer or seller in Dynasty Leagues?

After the break, the guys welcome on MLB Network, and Amazon Prime Host Adnan Virk to help set up the MLB's Winter meetings! (29:29) They get into Adnan's expectations, the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes, Bo Bichette, and what teams in the AL East and beyond are going to be the most active throughout the week. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): The mood from Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have soured after hearing the Red Sox don't plan to spend above the second CBT threshold. Why is this a disappointing, but not surprising report about John Henry's intentions? Then, Jorge Polanco has been floated as a name the Sox could sign even though the fit might be tricky to work in. And, the Blue Jays made a big move to sign Dylan Cease which is a reminder of how Boston should be operating in their window.

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 30, 2025 – 2:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segment 1 – Prospects – NL East – Atlanta Braves and Miami MarlinsQuick BreakSegment 2 – News and Notes1.Light week due to the holiday but we did have another big trade. The Rangers trade Marcus Seimen to the Mets for Brandon Nimmo. a.I wrote 1000 words about the deal to our Patreon members. What did you think of the deal?b.We just talked about the Mets last Sunday and I don't know if this clarifies things or makes it more muddled. We will look at both the infield and outfieldc.We discussed Josh Smith getting time in the outfield last week, but assuming they don't sign anyone, he should open as the starting second baseman. Thoughts on Josh Smith at second?2.The Blue Jays made noise by signing Dylan Cease for 7-years and $210 million. WOW. That's a lot of scratch. Did you like the signing?3.The Orioles finally spend a little bit of money, signing Ryan Helsley to a 2-year, $28 million contract. It takes a big closer arm off the board. Your thoughts?Segment 3 – Fantasy Questions of the NL East – NationalsWashington Nationals1.James Wood hit 31 home runs last season, but only 7 in the second half. He's the ninth outfielder off the board. Is that something that appeals to you?a.We will look at other outfielders going around him2.Dylan Crews – sigh.a.2026 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BA3.I liked Brady House in the minor leagues and have him in one Dynasty League. I'm worried that his poor approach is catching up to him. In 74 MLB games, he walked eight times. a.Is this a growth stock or someone who will start the season in the minor leagues?b.The NFBC drafters are not bullish as he's the 46th third baseman off the board (ADP of 598). Is that worth a pick in the low 30s in D&H Leagues?4.Daylen Lile showed flashes last season, posting a .299 batting average with nine home runs and eight stolen bases in 351 plate appearances.a.The NFBC drafters seem to think he's a growth stock as he's the 50th outfielder off the board. Is a strong #4 starter feel right or is that a bit too rich?5.Out of the Nationals starters, which pitcher intrigues you the most?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Segment 4 – Fantasy Questions of the AL East – Orioles and Red SoxBaltimore Orioles1.After winning 91 games in 2024, the Orioles lost 87 games in 2025. Do they bounce back in 2026? How many games do they win?2.Samuel Bassalo – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, BA3.Gunnar Henderson hit 37 home runs in 2024 but only 17 in 2025. Exit velo is still 92.1 MPH (down slightly from 2024 – 92.8) but still in the top 10 percentile of the league. Over/Under 30 home runs in 2026?4.Nobody seems to be buying Coby Mayo's late home run surge as his ADP is 480 and he's the 31st first baseman off the board. Are you buying it?5.Trevor Rogers was a revelation last season, posting a 1.81 ERA in 18 starts. However, his xERA was 3.41 and he only struck out 8.8 per nine. He's going as the 66th pitcher off the board, or the 50th starting pitcher. Are you comfortable taking him as a strong number four starter?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Boston Red Sox1.Roman Anthony – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, SB, and BA2.I've longed been a fan of Marcelo Mayer, but his injury history is giving me pause. Plus, he wasn't very good after getting the callup. Does he get 500 PA in 2026?a.He's going as an after thought in drafts – 502 AB (34th round) or #33 third base. Any interest?3.Is Kristian Campbell a Red Sox on April 1?a.He's going before Marcelo Mayer at 480. Any interest?4.Connelly Early (#81) or Payton Tolle (#137)5.Any reason to not think of Aroldis Chapman as a Top 10 Closer?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close

BT & Sal tear into Hal Steinbrenner's latest comments, arguing his stance suggests "much is going to change" with the Yankees' failed formula. Sal is fed up with Steinbrenner's talk of potentially lowering payroll and his belief that rivals like the Blue Jays simply got "lucky." The hosts demand a "radical" move, specifically the trading of Giancarlo Stanton, arguing it would be "addition by subtraction" to free up the roster and payroll for needed changes, comparing it to the Mets' surprising Nimmo trade. They also slam Hal's defensive response to Aaron Boone's comment about the team being the "least analytical" in the AL East, suggesting it enables the "Department of Nerds" to continue the status quo. Finally, they criticize Hal's take on pursuing Japanese stars—like Yamamoto—acknowledging the business side, but missing the bigger picture of the Yankees losing their status as a destination for elite international talent.

Today's word of the day is ‘inferior' as in the Yankees as in the Blue Jays as in the ALDS as in the ALCS as in the AL East. The Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees at Yankee Stadium last night. The Yankees high-powered offense was nowhere to be found. Vladimir Guerrero Jr had himself a series. Aaron Judge had himself a series. And the Yankees still lost. (15:00) The Tigers beat the Mariners. Series extended. The bats woke up. And now they head to Seattle with Tarik Skubal on the mound. The Chicago Cubs got a win. 4 runs in the first. And that was it. What about the Phillies? Welcome to the series Kyle Schwarber. Thank you for showing up! (27:00) Review: Coda. (30:00) Let's bring Coca in. (43:00) NPPOD. (45:00) What is going on with Giannis?
