Brian Cashman met the media and managed to do the one thing Yankee fans knew was coming but still weren't ready for. He pushed back on the idea that the Yankees are “running the same team back,” and in the process somehow made everyone even angrier. Evan and Tiki break down what Cashman meant versus how he said it, why Gerrit Cole's return is both obvious and not enough, and how the front office keeps leaning on last year's trade deadline as proof this team is different. The guys debate whether the Yankees actually improved, or just reframed the same roster with better PR, why the “growing pains” comment made no sense, and how losing Juan Soto still hangs over everything. Is Cashman technically right but emotionally tone deaf, or is this just another case of Yankees fans being sold the same story with new wording? Plus, a deeper look at roster flexibility, young players like Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones, and why this franchise still refuses to leave “no doubt” heading into Opening Day. Featuring discussion of the New York Yankees, Brian Cashman, Gerrit Cole, Cody Bellinger, Anthony Volpe, and how this all stacks up against division rivals like the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox.
Brian Cashman's update on Anthony Volpe stands out when he says the shortstop will return at “110%” and be “deployed properly.” Evan and Tiki break down what that wording really means, why it could signal a change in how Volpe is handled, and whether the Yankees are finally moving away from force feeding him everyday reps. The discussion spills into roster flexibility, prospect patience, and a few classic Yankees fan trade fantasies.
Evan and Tiki react to Brian Cashman's media session and the line that set Yankee fans off: the idea the Yankees are not “running it back.” Is he right, just terrible at saying it, or both? The guys debate whether last year's trade deadline basically was the Yankees' offseason, what's still missing without a true Soto replacement, and how the team should handle Anthony Volpe's rehab and role when he returns. Then the calls roll in, from prospect trade debates and “go get a bat” arguments, to a Mets tangent on Eugenio Suárez vs. giving Mark Vientos one last runway. Hour wraps with Knicks trade chatter and Mikal Bridges' brutally honest “entitlement” quote as Giannis rumors hang in the background. Time Codes 00:00 — Cashman meets the media, Yankees fans immediately annoyed 01:18 — “Just say it's similar” vs Cashman over-explaining why they're different 02:23 — The blunt truth: “They added ONE player” and it feels like the same roster 04:41 — Bigger issue: 15 years, one World Series run, and no Soto replacement 05:15 — Tiki's counter: Cashman is right, just said it in the worst way 05:55 — The trade deadline as the real “offseason” and why that's actually unique 07:03 — AL East framing: Blue Jays, Red Sox, and why “track record” matters 10:40 — “Leave no doubt” offseason vs Yankees budgeting, Dodgers standards, and choices 16:24 — Volpe update: “110%” and “deploy properly” sounds like a role change 18:49 — Call: Yankee fan talks trades, Dominguez and Spencer Jones, and patience 24:30 — Call: Mets tangent, Kyle Tucker opt-out mechanics and the Suárez debate 26:12 — Mark Vientos “final stand” season and why a one-year vet could block him 28:05 — Call: Paul Skenes trade fantasy, prospect “forbidden fruit,” and control years 31:17 — The “pied-à-terre” detour and why it turns into a comedy bit 35:42 — Call: Yankees flexibility, then Knicks trade anxiety after a win 40:14 — Mikal Bridges' “entitlement” quote, being coachable, and trade-rumor pressure 43:16 — Giannis reality check: if it happens, Bridges is likely in the deal

In a massive, wide-ranging interview, Alex Rodriguez joins Brandon Tierney to deliver a masterclass on the current state of the game. A-Rod doesn't pull any punches, declaring the Yankees' organizational hitting philosophy "absolutely broken" and critiquing the development of Anthony Volpe, arguing the team is forcing a "little guy" to play a "big boy game" that neuters his best assets. The two discuss the ticking clock on Aaron Judge's prime, the criteria for signing free agents like Cody Bellinger, and the "sad" takeover of data-driven analytics that has sidelined traditional baseball people. A-Rod also shares intimate reflections on his HBO documentary, the healing process of turning 50, and hilarious behind-the-scenes stories about David Ortiz and his relationship with the "2009 Homeboys." From Pete Alonso's exit from the Mets to his own refusal to manage in today's patient-less league, this is A-Rod at his most transparent and passionate.
Three-time MVP Alex Rodriguez joins BT to provide a blunt analysis of the Yankees and offers a roadmap to fix Anthony Volpe's swing. Rick Pinto joins the show to remanence with BT about WFAN and talk St. John's basketball.

Fantasy Baseball Live – September 14, 2025Microsoft Teams:PodcastSunday, September 14, 20253:00 PM - 4:30 PM1.The Angels fire Phil Nevin after deciding to not pick up his option for next season. The Angels are in a spiral and are just not getting better. Do you see that changing anytime soon?2.Connelly Early got the call this week for the Red Sox and shoved it against the Athletics. He pitched five shutout innings, striking out 11.a.Thoughts on him for the next few weeks to end the season.b.Payton Tolle has not been very good since he burst onto the scene two weeks ago. Could the same thing happen to Early?c.Jonah Tong also fell back to earth on his second outing against the Reds, giving up four runs in six innings with 6 strikeouts and four walks. And then, got annihilated over the weekend with six earned runs in 2/3 of an inning.d.Order these three young pitchers for the rest of the season and next season?3.Speaking of young pitchers, Cade Horton has been very good this season. He won his 10th game this week, posting a 2.70 ERA but is only striking out just over seven per nine – he has 89 strikeouts in 110 innings. How do you view him for next season? He's a Top ___________ pitcher.4.First, it was Jasson Dominguez losing playing time for the Yankees, and now Anthony Volpe. Who do you feel more confident rostering for next season – Dominguez or Volpe?5.Kyle Tucker hits the IL at the worse time. Moises Ballesteros gets the call. Any interest?6.Rhys Hoskins is finally back but has only gotten one at-bat over his first two games. Is he going to play full-time or just be a guy off the bench with the recent play of Andrew Vaughn?7.Arizona Fall League Previewa.I wrote a large post on Thursday of all the ranked players attending. We will discuss some of the players and who you are looking forward to seeing how they do?8.Listener Questions:a.Mac - Hey Rich, I'd be interested in yalls thoughts on Elly De La Cruz second half of the season? While he has been known to be streaky player the lack of home runs and even his normal stealing pace (past week he has started to get some again) during the second half has been bit confusing. Thanks!b.Collins - Should the Dodgers let Ohtani just come in as a RP in the playoffs and be a shutdown backend bullpen arm? c.Collins - FYPD: Roki was the consensus top pick last year. Of course, I took him. The next two top picks a year ago were Condon and Bazzana. How's that working out? Not great so far. With so many more top picks performing in the top round last year, how did a lot of us miss this, just bad luck or what? (Thinking of Kurtz, Burns, Cam, Cags, etc)d.David - Is O'Neil Cruz a bust at this point?e.Hoppy - Who's your favourite (and least favourite) fantasy baseball player of all time?f.Hoppy - find my interest levels go through natural ups and downs during the season, but no matter what happens in season I always seem come back with renewed vigour preseason, when prospect lists are published and drafts start again. Do you have the same experience and have you ever had thoughts about (gasp!) giving up fantasy baseball?g.Nick - When working a Dynasty League where you can keep anyone you want for any amount of time, what is the cut off of your rankings that you are willing to throw them back into the draft to see what else you can get? Top 300? Top 15 at position? And does that differ slightly on age, like willing to keep someone who is a lot younger or not so much older?i.Context: I am in a 12 team Dynasty league with normal roster positions, with a 15 person minor league roster in CBS. I find myself sometimes keeping too many players so I really only change over 1 or 2 on the active roster, then struggle to figure out who to cut when a prospect gets called up and wonder if I should cut more people out the gate to take some risks, to be willing to cut them for prospects.h.Tim - What are you doing with these last couple of faab periods to prepare your team for next year? 9.What one or two hitters are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?10.What one or two pitchers are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
Today's word of the day is ‘nightsweats' as in Jerry Jones as in Micah Parsons as in the Cowboys as in the Packers. Micah Parsons is a beast for the Packers through two games. He's been everything the team wanted. The Packers are 2-0 and last night made the Commanders look like a bad football team. Jayden Daniels could do nothing! (8:15) Lamar Jackson will not be fined or suspended by the NFL for pushing a fan. A Bills fan slapped him in the helmet, Jackson pushed back. Case closed. (20:20) What is going on with the Dolphins and Tyreek Hill? He has now been accused of his ex-wife of eight different occasions of being physical with her. This is not good. The team also had a players only meeting! It was one week! (32:10) Review: Honey Don't. (35:20) NPPOD. (43:00) Anthony Volpe has a labrum tear. It happened back in May! Why has he been playing? He's had multiple shots in his shoulder. Huh? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hour 1 The Mets lost again, getting swept by the Phillies. The Mets have a 1 ½ game Wild Card lead with 15 games to play. Even if they get in, are you confident they can do anything? They don't have the same chemistry and confidence that they had last year. They finish up the season against the Marlins, just like in 2007. Tonight they face Jacob deGrom, and Boomer thinks he might throw a no-hitter. Gio said Yankees fans must be loving this after Juan Soto chose the Mets. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating Detroit as Aaron Judge hit 2 home runs. He passed Joe DiMaggio on the Yankees all-time HR record. We heard Howie Rose on the call as the Mets lost again in Philadelphia. The final 25 Mets were retired. The Packers are now 2-0 as they beat the Commanders. The crowd was chanting ‘Thank you Jerry' as Micah Parsons had a great game. In the final segment of the hour, a Yankee fan is loving the Mets karma after all the Juan Soto talk in the off-season. Hour 2 Mike Tyson joins us in the studio and Boomer immediately has Gio do an impression of him to his face. We talked to him about his upcoming live shows at Hard Rock venues around the country and his upcoming fight against Floyd Mayweather. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Packers beating the Commanders last night. The Mets lost again in Philly. The Mets scored 4 runs in the first and then the last 25 hitters did not reach base. Aaron Judge hit two more home runs as they beat the Tigers. Peter Schwartz had another mispronunciation in his overnight update. In the final segment of the hour, Mac Jones is starting this week for an injured Brock Purdy and we're only in week 2. Hour 3 Will the Jets offense look as good as it did last week, and will the Giants offense look as bad? The Jets were the better team Sunday and looked different than they have in the recent past. We talked about Aaron Glenn cutting Xavier Gipson and the Giants picking him up. Gio explains what it means when they say there's a ‘package of plays' for Jaxson Dart.

Jeff McNeil talked about the mood in the clubhouse. Aaron Judge homered twice and Stanton also went deep as the Yankees beat the Tigers. Aaron Boone talked about playing at home on 9/11. Anthony Volpe talked about his shoulder injury. In the final segment of the hour, Gio played Shinnecock yesterday. Hour 4 Gio does not think we're coming in here on Monday talking about a Giants win over the Cowboys or a Jets win over the Bills. The Jets game could be close in the first half, but not by the end. Joe Flacco is going into Baltimore for the first time as an opposing player this week. Jerry returns for his final update of the week and starts with the sounds of the Packers beating the Commanders.

The Moment of The Day: Boomer has Gio do a Mike Tyson impression to his face. In the final segment of the week, our NFL picks.
