Carlos Beltrán is officially a Hall of Famer, which is great news for Mets fans who wanted to remember a time when superstar talent was allowed to stay in Queens without being swapped for three red-sticker clearance-rack prospects and a bullpen arm named Chad.This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down Beltrán's Hall of Fame moment, the Mets' future manager mess, the trade deadline chaos, and the radical idea that maybe — just maybe — this organization should stop acting shocked when bargain-bin roster construction produces bargain-bin results.Manager talk is officially back on the table. Alex Cora? Joe Girardi? Wally Backman? Carlos Beltrán one day? And yes, because this show has lost all adult supervision, Trevor Bauer's name gets tossed in for laughs before Rodriguez demands the next manager be old school, because apparently the answer to everything is eye black, yelling, and making sure everybody knows how to hit behind the runner.The roster conversation is just as messy. The Mets need real position players playing real positions. One job. One glove. One place to stand. Enough with the baseball version of musical chairs where everybody is “versatile” until nobody can actually catch the ball cleanly.And while we're at it: own the money or move over. The Mets cannot keep shopping like they're broke, then act confused when the roster looks like it came from the damaged-goods aisle. You get what you pay for. Farace will say it calmly at first. Then Rodriguez will somehow make it angrier. Then Producer Joe will interrupt from wherever he is, probably annoying a cabana worker.On the field, the Mets went 1-2 against the Dodgers, but they've taken the first two from the Braves with the finale tonight, so naturally everyone is trying to figure out whether this is progress, a tease, or just the Mets setting the trap door before the Marlins come to town for four and the team heads to Cleveland next week.The trade deadline is basically here, and the candidate list is almost the entire roster with maybe five or six exceptions. Freddy Peralta back to the Brewers? Clay Holmes drawing scouts during rehab — trade him or extend him? Tyrone Taylor and Luis Robert Jr. markets heating up? At this point, if your locker doesn't have Soto, Lindor, McLean, Benge, Scott, or Thornton written on it, maybe don't buy green bananas.Speaking of the future: is it McLean, Scott, and Thornton time? Are those the arms the Mets should actually build around instead of pretending the next recycled veteran reclamation project is secretly the answer?We'll also ask the question Mets fans have been asking for years: what exactly is going on with the medical evaluations? Injuries, setbacks, mystery timelines, medical staff upheaval rumors — who is checking these players, a doctor or somebody reading WebMD on the 7 train?Beltrán to the Hall. Manager chaos. Deadline panic. Stop trading stars for coupons. Own the money. Play people where they belong. Figure out the medical mess. And somehow, yes, the Mets are still making us watch every inning like we signed a blood oath.LGM.#PiitB #Mets #LGM #MetsTradeDeadline #CarlosBeltran

Was Roman Anthony anointed the franchise too early before he had really done anything? Was Alex Cora right all along about paying young players too early?

On the WIP Afternoon Show, Ike, Spike, and Fritz examine potential Phillies roster moves and speculate on a trade for a back-end starter. They critique Don Mattingly's recent bullpen management and see if it may be time to look back into a move for a manager like Alex Cora this offseason.

The 2026 Boston Red Sox have given their fans quite the ride over the past four months. After a rough start to the season that saw manager Alex Cora lose his job, they now find themselves on a 13-game winning streak and suddenly in a wild card spot. They're also just seven games out of first place in the AL East. Is a division title in the cards? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the historic run Boston has been on, including sweeping their rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays, this past weekend. They highlight how the Red Sox bullpen has been incredibly strong during this stretch, as well as the offensive contributions from Willson Contreras, Wilyer Abreu and Caleb Durbin. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan discuss the surprising news that Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani will put pitching on hold for the rest of the season as he battles a leg injury, and whether Pete Crow-Armstrong could overtake the Japanese star for the NL MVP award. They also break down the Toronto Blue Jays getting a reality check from the Chicago White Sox this past weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers sweeping the Miami Marlins and recap all the other action from around baseball.   1:15 - The Opener: Red Sox win streak 21:54 - We Need To Talk About: Ohtani steps off the mound 32:52 - PCA vs. Ohtani for MVP? 39:39 - How Sweep It Is: Brewers sweep Marlins 52:13 - Blue Jays get a reality check 55:32 - Field Report: Skenes guts it out vs. Guardians 1:01:56 - How Sweep It Is: Weekend recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Hour 4 - The crew try to figure out why the Red Sox have done a compete 180. Can you trace this all the way back to firing Cora? The best Hill Notes of the day and Rich Keefe stops by to defend professional wrestling.

The guys create their ideal second half Red Sox lineup with a couple of disagreements at certain positions. They also discuss Breslow and his style of work, along with the trade Alex Cora blocked and how this has affected the 2026 Red Sox.

In this Breaking Balls All-Star Edition, we break down the Red Sox' late first-half surge (9 in a row, 14 of 16) and the biggest shift behind it: a philosophical change on offense. From embracing small ball to rethinking extra-innings strategy, this team is starting to play to its strengths — and it's working.We also dive into roster decisions, trade deadline pressure, and why this upcoming 10-game homestand could define the season.

If the trade deadline were to be tomorrow, its no question the Red Sox should be buying to add onto their hot stretch, However, does anyone really believe Craig Breslow and company will fully dive into making their team better? Then, Play Tessie's Sammy James joins the show to talk more about the Sox and if he's back to believing them to be the contenders we thought they'd be at the beginning of the season. And, how much of a change would the season look like if Alex Cora and his fellow coaches weren't fired?

No one is thinking about Alex Cora and company being fired before this Red Sox hot stretch, but one can wonder if this hot streak could happen if those coaches were still here.

Brodes argues that the Phillies should hire Alex Cora as manager to provide the "grit" and "snarl" that he believes the current group lacks under Don Mattingly or Rob Thomson. He also expresses deep frustration with the Flyers front office after Leo Carlsson officially remained with the Anaheim Ducks, questioning the team's ability to acquire superstar talent.

Brodes analyzes Don Mattingly's recent comments about wanting to manage the Phillies and argues why the team needs Alex Cora's snarl instead. They also discuss the heartbreak for Flyers fans after the Anaheim Ducks matched the offer sheet for Leo Carlsson, leaving the franchise without a clear path to a superstar. Ashlyn Sullivan joins the WIP Afternoon Show to share updates from Saquon Barkley's youth camp and weighs in on the Sixers' pursuit of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James.

Brodes and Ashlyn Sullivan discuss the fallout from the Flyers failing to land Leo Carlsson and whether the team has a path to acquire premier talent. They also debate the Phillies' managerial future, weighing a potential move for Alex Cora against sticking with Don Mattingly.

Brodes reacts to Don Mattingly expressing interest in managing the Phillies, arguing that the team lacks a necessary edge and should target Alex Cora instead.
