Podcast appearances and mentions of anthony volpe

Brian Cashman's trade deadline is looking better offensively, but the Yankees' bullpen could become the decision that defines their postseason. Luis Garcia Jr. has been a massive addition, Austin Wells is finally producing like a functioning major league catcher, and the lineup is clicking. But Fernando Cruz's devastating injury exposes the risk of Cashman failing to add a reliever, leaving major questions about how the Yankees will get the final nine outs in October. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as they debate whether Eugenio Suarez should be added off waivers, George Lombard Jr.'s alarming error streak, and whether Anthony Volpe could actually become part of the conversation again. Plus, Mike Breen tells an incredible story about celebrating the Mets' famous 1986 World Series comeback from inside the Red Sox radio booth.

George Lombard Jr.'s rough defensive weekend raises the first real questions about the Yankees' prized young shortstop. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether the miscues are anything to worry about, why his elite range still jumps off the screen, and whether Yankee fans are rushing to crown Lombard after being burned by Anthony Volpe. The conversation escalates when Shaun projects Lombard as one of baseball's future elite shortstops, while Evan pushes back on putting enormous expectations on a player this early. Plus, the Yankees' pitching injuries strengthen Evan's argument that a contender can never have enough starting pitching, and Giancarlo Stanton's remarkable postseason availability becomes part of the discussion surrounding his uncertain future.

The Dodgers' handling of Tarik Skubal has Evan Roberts convinced they have no intention of signing him long term. After Los Angeles pushed Skubal to two of the highest pitch counts of his career in consecutive August starts, Evan argues the Dodgers are treating him like a rental and riding him as hard as possible before he leaves. Shaun Morash pushes back on declaring it a done deal, but agrees the workload is strange. Evan takes the argument one step further, predicting that if the Dodgers are truly out, the Mets could become the clear favorite to land Skubal. Plus, the Yankees' future comes into focus with George Lombard Jr., Anthony Volpe's potential role at second base, and questions about how the infield could look in 2027.

Shaun Morash's George Lombard Jr. projection ignites an all-out fight with a Yankees caller who absolutely unloads on him. After Shaun says Lombard should eventually be in the Hall of Fame conversation, the caller rips the take, attacks Shaun personally, and sparks a fiery response that sends the show completely off the rails. Evan Roberts breaks down who won the confrontation as Shaun defends what he actually meant: Lombard has the potential to become one of baseball's elite shortstops, not that he is already destined for Cooperstown. More callers pile on, Anthony Volpe comparisons resurface, and the debate becomes a wild argument over how soon fans should crown a young Yankees prospect.

The Dodgers' handling of Tarik Skubal has Evan Roberts convinced they have no intention of keeping the ace long term. After back-to-back starts featuring two of the highest pitch counts of Skubal's career, Evan argues Los Angeles is riding him hard because they expect him to leave, opening the door for the Mets to become the obvious landing spot. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts and pushes back on just how certain that conclusion really is. The hour also turns into a heated Deshaun Watson debate after the Browns quarterback fires back at Cleveland fans for booing him. Evan calls the Browns more dysfunctional than the Jets, while Shaun argues the reaction is partly fueled by the fan obsession with Sanders. Plus, George Lombard Jr.'s Yankees future, Anthony Volpe's role, Francisco Alvarez frustration, and a birthday-text feud with Tommy Lugauer.

The Yankees are suddenly back in the AL East race, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are split on whether this surge is real enough to catch Tampa Bay. Tiki reverses course after four straight wins and an improving lineup, while Evan refuses to abandon the larger sample without Aaron Judge. Gerrit Cole's dominant outing also sparks a major Yankees debate over whether he has actually been better in pinstripes than CC Sabathia. They also get into Michael Kay's eyebrow-raising “offensive orgy” call, Anthony Volpe's move to second base in the minors, Pete Alonso's potential Hall of Fame path, and the roster decision looming for Spencer Jones when Cody Bellinger returns. Plus, the wild New York-area storms and tornado videos lead to a debate over what anyone is actually supposed to do when a tornado hits.

Pete Alonso's Hall of Fame future sparks a fascinating Mets debate, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wonder whether enough success in Baltimore could eventually make Alonso more closely associated with the Orioles than the Mets. Evan argues that reaching 500 home runs would likely be necessary to put Alonso on a Cooperstown path, with postseason success potentially influencing which team defines his legacy. The Yankees also face a looming roster crunch with Cody Bellinger nearing a return, and Evan insists Spencer Jones cannot be the player sent down after his recent surge. They also discuss Anthony Volpe's move to second base, the possibility of catching Aaron Judge on a minor-league rehab assignment, and Evan's mission to land the Howie Rose retirement-day Mets giveaway.

Jaxson Dart's trips to the blue medical tent have inspired a nickname Giants fans absolutely hate. Evan Roberts defends calling Dart “Big Blue Tent,” arguing the frequency is impossible to ignore, while Tiki Barber pushes back on taking the nickname too far. The debate turns into a bigger question about how quickly fans attach expectations and narratives to young players. George Lombard Jr. becomes the next test case as Evan and Tiki debate comparisons to Derek Jeter, Jose Reyes, Alex Rodriguez and other shortstops. They argue that prospect expectations can become ridiculous before a player has even established himself, while also revisiting how perceptions changed around Anthony Volpe, Michael Conforto and other highly touted young players.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning tee up the Blue Jays' upcoming series against the Yankees with John Jastremski, discussing New York's current state, whether the rivalry still has juice, Toronto's playoff potential, and Anthony Volpe's future in the Bronx. Later, Richie Laryea (24:09) joins the show to reflect on playing in the World Cup and Canada's historic run to the Round of 16, highlighted by their final game against Morocco.

Tarik Skubal's stunning trade from Detroit to the Dodgers has MLB's parity debate boiling over. Host Kevin L. Warren, MLB Resident Expert Alvin "Cincinnati Al" Clawson, D-Dubbz, and The D.A. break down why L.A. needed Skubal, whether Detroit's timing made sense, and if baseball's competitive balance problem is real — or if it's time for fans to stop blaming the Dodgers for legally winning.The crew also reviews the Cubs' deadline masterclass (Gausman, Clay Holmes), Luis Arraez joining Philadelphia, Adley Rutschman's move to Boston, and a full Yankees shake-up: George Lombard Jr.'s debut and Anthony Volpe's demotion.

Evan Roberts reaches a breaking point with the Yankees, admitting for the first time this season that he no longer expects them to win the AL East. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan as they debate whether the surging Red Sox can sustain their run, why the Yankees cannot win without home runs and who should replace Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot.

George Lombard Jr.'s explosive Yankees debut immediately raises questions about Anthony Volpe's future at shortstop. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Lombard can take the job for good, how he compares with Mets prospect A.J. Ewing and whether his arrival can help spark a postseason run.

George Lombard Jr.'s electric Yankees debut immediately puts Anthony Volpe's future at shortstop under the microscope.

Ewing and whether his arrival gives the Yankees legitimate playoff hope once Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger return.

C-Mac sounds off on what he considers to be Cashman's worst deadline ever, how the Yankees will configure their roster now that Ramos and Garcia are in the fold, and try to make sense of how the Yanks did not add a catcher.

Plus, reactions to a crushing loss against the Cardinals, the bullpen implosion, and Garcia's instant impact.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS9:48 - Chris goes off on what he calls Brian Cashman's worst trade deadline, perhaps ever.

Chris analyzes what this means for the infield and theorizes that Lombard will take over as the everyday shortstop.41:22 - Was the front office's passive trade deadline dictated by Aaron Judge's injury status?. McMonigle theorizes that the Yankees' lack of aggression signifies they just want to survive until October, rather than overextend themselves for a World Series push now.54:14 - Chris hands out a "D-" grade for the Yankees' trade deadline moves. Despite his deep frustration, he reminds fans that the season isn't over and the team is still positioned for a playoff run.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle wonder how much longer Anthony Volpe has as a member of the Yankees' organization, with Big Mac saying he'll root for him for as long as he's on the roster. Craig realizes that he's never worked with a worse-dressed group of professionals in his life.

Craig Carton and Big Mac analyze George Lombard Jr.'s impressive first game for the Yankees and debate whether the defensive praise is an overreaction compared to Anthony Volpe's tenure. They also examine the New York Giants' wide receiver depth and address a workplace conflict involving coworkers' criticism of a recent Brian Cashman interview. 01:34 - George Lombard Debut 04:40 - Volpe Defense Debate 08:45 - Giants Receiver Issues 14:20 - Big Mac Under Fire 20:20 - Interview Technique Clash 26:40 - Yankee Fandom Overreactions 32:00 - Press Box Stories 36:35 - Outdoor Entertainment Talk

Brian Cashman's trade deadline leaves the Yankees facing serious questions about their World Series chances. Shaun Morash unloads on the organization for failing to acquire a major-league catcher or another reliever while division rivals improved, and Evan Roberts agrees that leaving the deadline without addressing those needs was unacceptable. Tiki Barber pushes back on some of the harshest criticism, but even he acknowledges the Yankees are stagnating. The frustration intensifies with George Lombard Jr.'s perfectly timed promotion, which Shaun sees as an attempt to distract fans from an underwhelming deadline. Evan and Tiki also debate Cashman's growing reluctance to trade prospects, Anthony Volpe's uncertain future, the decision not to use Ben Rice at catcher, and whether Aaron Judge can realistically return in time to save the season.

Anthony Volpe has been sent to the minors, George Lombard Jr. is taking over at shortstop, and the Yankees may have finally admitted their former top prospect is not the player they expected. Evan predicts Volpe could return in 2027 as a second baseman and utility infielder, while others believe a trade and a fresh start would be best for everyone.

Brian Cashman's underwhelming deadline sparks a bigger debate about how far the Yankees' standard has fallen. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash examine whether simply reaching the postseason has become acceptable for a franchise that once lived by World Series or bust. The conversation turns to Cashman's growing reluctance to trade prospects, the failures of Anthony Volpe and Jason Dominguez, and the success stories of Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler that complicate the argument. They also question how much Aaron Judge's absence should excuse the Yankees' struggles before reacting to a setback for Jets rookie Kenyon Sadiq that could cost him valuable training camp time.

Shaun Morash gets his flowers after perfectly predicting that the Yankees would call up George Lombard Jr. immediately after an underwhelming trade deadline to calm an angry fan base. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit the prediction and debate whether there was ever a legitimate baseball reason to keep Lombard in the minors. The conversation then turns to Anthony Volpe, who is being sent down and will begin playing second base as his future with the Yankees becomes increasingly uncertain. Evan, Tiki and Shaun examine how the organization handled Volpe and Jason Dominguez, whether the Yankees failed to develop their prized prospects, and why Brian Cashman's refusal to use Ben Rice regularly at catcher only makes the roster situation more confusing.

Evan, Tiki, and Shaun examine the Yankees' decision to option Anthony Volpe while elevating George Lombard Jr. to the major league roster. They speculate on Volpe's potential as a utility player or trade candidate and analyze the Red Sox's sudden dominance in the AL East. Additionally, the discussion pivots to the Jets' future under center and Brian Cashman's quiet trade deadline approach. 01:50 - George Lombard Jr. Debuts 05:15 - Volpe's Future Yankees Role 08:50 - Change Of Scenery Trade 12:20 - Mets Local Prospect Stories 17:15 - Analyzing Prospect Scouting Stats 20:35 - Jacob DeGrom Vetoes Trade 24:05 - Red Sox Summer Streak 27:55 - Jets Quarterback Trade Rumors 38:30 - Brian Cashman Deadline Review 43:05 - Tarik Skubal Trade Interest

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to the promotion of top prospect George Lombard Jr. and the shocking demotion of Anthony Volpe. Is this the end of Volpe's time in pinstripes, or can he fight his way back?

New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman joins Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle on WFAN's Carton Show to explain the Yankees' controversial trade deadline decisions. Cashman discusses why the Yankees couldn't land Orioles star catcher Adley Rutschman, the challenges of finding bullpen help, and why the organization decided the asking prices were too high. He also gives updates on Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton's injuries, explains the decision to call up George Lombard Jr. and send Anthony Volpe to Triple-A, and responds to criticism that the Yankees lacked urgency at the deadline.

Craig and the team analyze the New York Yankees' decision to call up George Lombard Jr. while sending down Anthony Volpe. They debate Jasson Domínguez's defensive instincts and if Aaron Judge's legacy would diminish if the team wins a title during his injury absence.

Lombard Jr is up!  Volpe was sent down!  Exciting times in Yankee land as the trade deadline has come and gone.  I discuss it all.The Yankees are living the most maddening version of baseball: starters keep them in games, but the offense can't buy a big inning and the bullpen keeps turning late leads into coin flips. I dig into the ugly run-scoring trend, why it's happening across the lineup, and what it means when your margin for error is basically one mistake per night. If you've been watching great pitching get wasted, you're not alone, and I discuss our shared frustration.Then the biggest jolt of the week: top prospect George Lombard Jr gets the call, and Anthony Volpe gets sent down to Triple-A!!!  Woooo! I talk about what Lombard's arrival could change right away (defense, arm, range) and what to be realistic about (rookie adjustment time at the plate). It also opens up a broader conversation about how the Yankees evaluate talent, why certain players get endless patience, and how “small positives” can distract from real production over a full season.Finally, I break down Brian Cashman's poor trade deadline. Luis Garcia looks like a rare add who's actually trending up, but the roster fit is messy with multiple first basemen and limited DH space. Heliot Ramos feels more like a gamble, with questions around strikeouts and defense. And the missed opportunities sting, especially watching Adley Rutschman land with the RED SOX  while the Yankees still have glaring needs at catcher and in the bullpen. If you care about the Yankees' direction, this is a must-listen.

Cody Bellinger's grade two hamstring injury could keep him out until September, turning an already battered Yankees lineup into Brian Cashman's biggest deadline crisis. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate why outfield help has become the priority, whether George Lombard Jr. should be promoted immediately and which realistic additions could keep the Yankees in the AL East race. They also clash over Anthony Volpe after his dropped pop-up overshadowed an otherwise productive game, with Evan showing rare sympathy and Shaun arguing the mistake erased everything positive. Plus, the crew explains why track and field struggles to create lasting interest and pitches televised mini golf as a surprisingly compelling alternative.

Cody Bellinger's grade two hamstring injury could keep him out until September, creating another brutal setback for a Yankees lineup already missing Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate how aggressively Brian Cashman must respond, why outfield help is now the deadline priority and whether realistic additions like Tyrone Taylor, Tyler Stephenson or George Springer could keep the Yankees in the AL East race. The pressure also shifts to the organization's young talent. Shaun argues George Lombard Jr. should be promoted immediately, while Anthony Volpe's dropped pop-up sparks a clash over whether one disastrous mistake erased an otherwise strong game. Plus, the crew pitches professional mini golf as television's next great attraction and brings back Posted and Toasted.

The Yankees' struggling offense has reached the point where Evan Roberts believes Brian Cashman must call up George Lombard Jr. immediately. Evan argues that Jose Caballero and Anthony Volpe have already shown what they are, while Lombard could provide the jolt the lineup desperately needs. Tiki Barber urges caution about throwing a young prospect into a pennant race, and Shaun Morash wonders whether the Yankees are saving Lombard for after the trade deadline. The conversation shifts to a lost Mets season, Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen sounding increasingly fed up, and even Donald Trump taking a shot at the team. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also debate the excitement surrounding John Harbaugh and the Giants, why his résumé gives his message credibility, and whether universal optimism should make Giants fans nervous.

The Yankees' offense needs an immediate jolt, and Evan Roberts is demanding that Brian Cashman call up George Lombard Jr. now. Evan argues that Jose Caballero and Anthony Volpe have already shown they are not the long-term answer at shortstop, while Lombard's hot bat and major league-ready defense make him the most exciting option available. Tiki Barber agrees with the idea but warns that a rookie could struggle under postseason pressure, while Shaun Morash believes Lombard could also solve the Yankees' problems at third base. They debate whether Volpe should be sent down, whether Lombard is being protected as a trade chip, and why waiting until September could waste the prospect's chance to transform the season.

Boomer and Gio dive into their favorite things about Fire Island multiple callers that Al usually blocks get on the air. Is it better to work in the morning or the afternoon? Jerry's update starts with talking about Anthony Volpe finally coming through in a big spot. The guys debate whether or not rivalries in golf are good for the sport. Gio gives a review of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

Boomer and Gio open with makeup fixes, a SiriusXM recap, Harbaugh's flat Giants speech, Jerry's dinner report, Caballero's pitch clock issue during the Yankees' split, the Mets' abysmal defense, Heyman's X fight, and defining "cuck." Then, they dive into Fire Island, rogue callers slipping past Al, morning vs. afternoon shifts, Anthony Volpe's big moment, golf rivalries, and a Death of a Salesman review. Hour three brings a CBS Sports graphic blunder, Max Fried's return, secret MLB rule changes, early football hype, Cleveland's LeBron pitch, and golf course drink etiquette. Finally, they close with Fire Island weekend plans, Jaxson Dart and Jets outlooks, Kendrick Perkins' LeBron conspiracy, Jerry's health and verbal stumbles, the show's post-Boomer future, LeBron chatter, and whether Juan Soto is irking his teammates.

Jerry's update starts with Anthony Volpe finally coming through in a big spot. The Mets were being a mess. The guys debate whether or not rivalries in golf are good for the sport.

Spencer Jones is called up as the Yankees' 27th man and immediately placed third in the lineup, leaving Evan Roberts with one glaring question: If the Yankees trust him in the heart of an offense that cannot score, why is he still in the minor leagues? Evan argues Jones deserves an extended opportunity and questions why Anthony Volpe continues to hold a roster spot, while Tiki Barber explains the matchup and playing-time complications.

Jose Caballero's pitch-clock gamesmanship ignited a benches-clearing confrontation with Dennis Santana, but the real controversy came afterward. Santana's claim that Caballero's tactics were unnecessary in a three-run game gets ripped as ridiculous, while Caballero earns praise for embracing the villain role and giving the Yankees an edge they have lacked. The debate also strengthens the case for playing Caballero over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta's Mets struggles raise fears that he will rediscover his form after a trade, and the Jets' defensive talent, new whiteout uniforms and far-fetched AFC Championship hopes come under the microscope.

A caller is ready to drive Jazz Chisholm to the airport for Luis Arraez, but Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash strongly reject the idea of subtracting a dangerous bat during a playoff push. Even with his flaws, Jazz gives the Yankees power, athleticism and late-game upside that would be difficult to replace. The debate then shifts to shortstop, where Jose Caballero's energy and disciplined approach continue to separate him from Anthony Volpe. Caballero has already received most of the recent starts at short, but the hosts question whether Aaron Boone should make the change permanent and how Ryan McMahon factors into the best defensive alignment.

Jazz Chisholm's latest power surge has Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees cannot afford to move him before the trade deadline. His inconsistency remains maddening, but his production in high-leverage moments gives the lineup an October weapon it desperately needs. The debate turns to Luis Arraez, where he would play, and whether the Yankees should sacrifice defense by moving Jazz around the diamond. Uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton makes the deadline even more complicated, while Jose Caballero continues to strengthen his case for more playing time over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta's brutal return to Milwaukee leads to harsh criticism of David Stearns, and Evan delivers an early NFC East prediction that the Dallas Cowboys will win the division.
