Podcasts about Bellinger

SHOW OPEN. Emmanuel talks about how there should be no money concerns for the Yankees to sign both Grisham and Bellinger but if there is, questions need to be raised. SHOW OPEN.

Welcome back to the Sorry to Interrupt podcast! With just days before the MLB Winter Meetings, Sean is joined by Steve Duda to discuss the Yankees offseason plans. The guys start by breaking down Trent Grisham accelting the QO and what it means for their pursuits of Bellinger and Tucker before they dive into FA predictions and possible trade options the Yankees could make this winter. Next, they take a quick trip around the league and react to some of the notable signings that have taken place to date and also make predictions for what big moves could take place for the major Free Agents and trade chips. Everyone enjoy the pod!

BT & Sal ignite a heated debate over the Mets' struggling outfield, dismissing Cody Bellinger as an unlikely option given his Yankee ties, but acknowledging his flexibility is appealing. The conversation quickly shifts to the current center field options, with Sal calling a potential Harrison Bader signing a waste of time and Byron Buxton an injury-prone gamble. The crux of the segment focuses on the future of Pete Alonso: if the Mets let him walk, they "must sign Kyle Schwarber." Sal passionately argues that Schwarber's superior plate discipline (despite the high strikeouts) and unhinged "caveman" energy make him a better power-bat acquisition than retaining Alonso. They compare the two sluggers' OPS and debate the risk of Schwarber's two-hundred-strikeout season in the postseason.

BT & Sal dive into the Yankees' Free Agency strategy, debating whether the team will land a big fish like Cody Bellinger or Kyle Tucker. Sal is skeptical the Yankees will match the necessary seven-year deal for Bellinger, while both hosts agree that Tucker, despite being the better all-around player, is not worth the "Soto Money" (an astronomical $765M) that Juan Soto's dominant walk year commanded. Tierney presents a plausible "outside-the-box" scenario: trading for a star like Jazz Chisholm or beefing up the rotation with a trade for a top-tier pitcher like Max Fried or Tarik Skubal to create the "best rotation this century" and pairing it with Edwin Diaz in the bullpen. Sal argues that overinvesting in pitching and neglecting the lineup is a "dangerous plan" for postseason success. The discussion centers on the core tension in MLB contracts: paying veterans for past performance due to their age at free agency (like Tucker at 29), rather than their future prime years.

For episode 269 of Yapping Yankees, I yap more about the Japanese player options I've been hyped about for weeks, Bellinger vs. Tucker, the rest of the outfield with Trent accepting his qualifying offer all as the Winter Meetings approach, Yarbrough returning, and the good non-tender decisions for the bullpen!

Bill Belichick may be after NFL jobs after all, Joe Schoen may have a case to stay, The Mets free agency plans, and much more

BT & Sal torch Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner for being "tone-deaf" and prioritizing the business over winning championships, specifically criticizing his $100 million payment to the city excuse. The hosts argue that Hal's complacency with Cashman and the team's lack of development is costing them a World Series. The focus then shifts to the Mets and an aggressive hypothetical trade for Fernando Tatis Jr. Sal argues that Tatis, despite his $300 million contract, is a better investment due to his age (26) and elite defense than free agents like Bellinger or Tucker. Finally, Brian Baldinger joins to dismantle the 2-10 Giants' claim that they're better than their record, calling out their defensive breakdowns. They discuss the Lions' struggles, the Bears' legitimacy, and whether Jets fans can trust QB prospect Cam Ward.

BT & Sal dissect the shocking, confirmed trade of Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. Sal hails the trade as an "awesome move," proving the Mets are finally ready to build the right way and focus on run prevention, given Nimmo's declining defense, poor arm, and lower-extremity injuries. BT argues that the move was necessary to upgrade the defense and frees up the DH spot, making it mandatory for the Mets to now re-sign Pete Alonso to replace the lost offensive power. They debate the trade's immediate impact (Nimmo for Semien is a defensive upgrade at second base, setting up Jeff McNeil to be traded) and what the next move must be: acquiring a top outfielder (Bellinger or Tucker) to fill Nimmo's spot. The hosts praise David Stearns' "gutsy, bold" decision to move past the core's sentimental value.

BT & Sal launch into a passionate defense of the Mets' bold decision to trade Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien. They argue that despite Nimmo's high character, the move was a necessary, "emotionless decision" to break up a non-winning core, upgrade the defense with the Gold Glove Semien at second base, and free up a position to acquire a better offensive outfielder (like Bellinger or Tucker). Sal argues the trade makes a Pete Alonso extension a necessity, as the Mets cannot afford to lose two major bats. They also preview the big Thanksgiving Day Football slate, focusing on the highly anticipated Chiefs vs. Cowboys matchup, and discuss their reactions to the Alex Rodriguez documentary, with Tierney expressing a soft spot for the flawed former Yankee star.

BT and Sal discuss Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns' recent press conference, where he acknowledged the team "can't run it back" and was transparent about the Brandon Nimmo trade. While both hosts appreciate Stearns' conviction, the conversation turns fiery over Stearns' statement about using young internal options like Carson Benge and Jett Williams, along with Jeff McNeil, to fill the vacated outfield spots. Sal argues that given the Mets are trying to win now, they "can't take a chance in center field" with unproven prospects, citing the Yankees' struggles with Volpe as a cautionary tale. BT, however, argues that every good team relies on young players and the Mets would be "stupid" to plug two outfield holes and block their kids. They debate the need for a "big outfielder" acquisition like Bellinger while keeping one spot open for the youth movement.

BT & Sal dive into a fiery discussion covering coaching chaos and major league free agency. In football, they debate the next Giants Head Coach, agreeing that the organization needs "stability" and experienced leadership like Mike McCarthy or Sean McDermott, making the "unknown" risk of promoting Kafka or hiring an untested coordinator like Chris Shula unacceptable. On the diamond, the focus is on the Yankees' offseason priorities. They clash over whether to pursue Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger (Sal prefers Tucker, BT values Bellinger's versatility). The biggest debate centers on a potential trade for Corey Seager. BT is willing to take the chance on the two-time World Series MVP despite his injury history, believing his October prowess is worth the risk. Sal vehemently opposes the move, seeing Seager's recurring hamstring issues and massive $190M contract as a recipe for a "Stanton disaster" and proof the Yankees continue to chase players whose best years are behind them. They also scrutinize Cashman's comments on the outfield, calling his contingency plan "unacceptable."

BT and Sal tear into the Yankees' offseason plans, centered on GM Brian Cashman's recent comments about the outfield. The hosts call out Cashman's attempt to temper expectations by suggesting a "worst-case scenario" of relying on prospects Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez alongside Trent Grisham as "playing possum." They then debate the merits of the top two outfield free agents, Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker, with Sal expressing strong preference for Bellinger's versatility—but only for five or six years, fearing his market will explode to $170 million or more. The segment features BT and Sal's "Money Pit" contract guesses for Bellinger and Pete Alonso, along with a caller pushing for a trade for Bo Bichette. Finally, the show is briefly interrupted by breaking news: Jaxon Dart has not been cleared from concussion protocol, dramatically lowering Tierney's interest in the upcoming Giants game.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery debate over Sal's "home run blueprint" for the Mets' perfect offseason, which centers on trading for ace Tarik Skubal, signing a frontline starter like Ranger Suarez (while Sal dismisses Dylan Cease as "just another dude"), and re-signing Pete Alonso—especially since he's open to DH. The discussion heats up as they clash over the realism of acquiring Skubal and the $400 million contract that would follow. Sal pushes for a big bat like Bellinger, Tucker, or Bregman to complete the lineup, leading to a controversial take: is trading Nimmo the better long-term move if it means keeping a DH-capable Alonso and improving the overall team defense? The stakes are high for David Stearns and Steve Cohen to execute a massive overhaul.

BT & Sal dive into a fiery debate over the Yankees and Mets' intertwined offseason, focusing on a direct clash for Cody Bellinger and the closer market (Edwin Diaz vs. Devin Williams). Sal argues the Mets must pursue Bellinger and go "pedal to the metal," while BT has more faith in Brian Cashman's urgency than David Stearns' willingness to spend like a big-market GM. The Mets' need for a "shake up" dominates the conversation, with discussion of trading Senga (despite the desperate need for pitching) and moving core players like McNeil, Nimmo, Baty, and Vientos—the guys Sal is "tired of waiting on." The segment concludes with BT teasing his "Grand Slam Mets Offseason" plan, a four-component blueprint he believes would make the Mets World Series contenders.

BT and Sal dive into a fiery discussion on the Yankees and Mets' overlapping offseason targets, focusing on how Cody Bellinger and Devin Williams are perfect, must-have fits for both clubs. Sal unveils his four-part, "Grand Slam Blueprint" for the Mets, which includes trading for Tarik Skubal, signing a pitcher like Ranger Suarez, re-signing Pete Alonso, and acquiring one of the big bats (Bellinger, Tucker, or Bregman). They debate the plausibility of the Mets making "massive moves"—including trading Brandon Nimmo and Kodai Senga—with Sal needing to see Stearns act like a big-market GM. The conversation shifts to the broader landscape, where they express outrage over the looming CBA expiration and the possibility of a lockout, arguing that another work stoppage would prove baseball's "greedy pigs" are disconnected from the fans. Finally, the hosts touch on the more glamorous side of the offseason, revealing they are anxiously awaiting the official invitation to A-Rod's Christmas party, with Sal admitting Alex Rodriguez even texted him about the disastrous Trent Grisham deal.

BT & Sal unleash a fiery debate on the Yankees' offseason, arguing the entire success of their winter hinges on re-signing free agent Cody Bellinger. Sal insists the team has "no excuse" to lose Bellinger after already whiffing on Juan Soto last year, demanding the Yankees get aggressive now and exceed the market if necessary. Tierney agrees, noting that losing Bellinger would make their already unclear roster situation "very worrisome." The hosts also pivot to a bigger picture, asking: "Is Bellinger enough?" They propose bold moves like trading for a true leadoff hitter like Steven Kwan and questioning the Yankees' self-imposed limitation at third base with Ryan McMahon when a proven winner like Alex Bregman is available. They conclude that without Bellinger and further aggressive action, the Yankees risk simply starting the next season with the same flawed team.

BT & Sal unleash a fiery Yankees offseason demand: Cody Bellinger is a "must-sign" that the team cannot afford to miss, arguing they must abandon "fair market value" and aggressively "load up." They dissect potential trades for Steven Kwan and Alex Bregman and float the nuclear option of trading Carlos Rodón. The Mets side of the Hot Stove is equally hot with a shocking report that Brandon Nimmo is being "spitballed" as a trade piece, signaling a massive philosophical shift for David Stearns. Sal airs a hilarious personal grievance against Alex Rodriguez, who texts everyone but Sal. Off the field, the hosts dive into a bizarre celebrity tangent, debating the definition of "swordsman" sparked by Sydney Sweeney drama, and welcome Marlon Wayans to discuss comedy and crushing cancel culture. The show wraps with a brutal assessment of the Jets' upcoming primetime game and a controversial NFL Power Up Ranking that leaves the Chiefs out of the top spots!

BT & Sal dissect David Stearns' recent comments on the Mets' offseason, debating whether the GM has the appetite—or the checkbook—to execute the massive overhaul the team needs. Sal outlines a fiery, aggressive ultimatum for Pete Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, proposing a "$180 million, take-it-or-leave-it" deal to prevent the slugger from holding up the entire offseason. The hosts agree that simply bringing back Alonso and Diaz and adding a single pitcher is "not enough," arguing that the team's core DNA must change. Tierney demands a minimum of two high-end starters plus a major position player acquisition (like Bellinger or Bregman) to make the offseason a success. They also clash over Alonso's value, with Sal focusing on his lack of production when the power isn't there, and Tierney arguing his home run numbers are irreplaceable in a lineup already lacking offensive threats.

BT & Sal dive into the high-stakes GM meetings, demanding the Mets' front office stop their "penny stock" ways and "Go BIG" to close the gap with the Dodgers. They debate an all-star offseason wishlist—Bellinger, Bregman, Alonso—and whether the Yankees should trade Cam Schlittler for Paul Skenes now. The temperature spikes as they slam Jets coach Aaron Glenn for his petty and unnecessary feud with the media, calling out his "prick" behavior for deflecting injury questions and questioning his overall "Parcells-lite" strategy. Finally, UFC Middleweight Bo Nickal joins the studio ahead of his main prelim event at UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden. Nickal discusses overcoming his first career loss, the mentality of a fighter, and why MMA is a more complete sport than boxing. Tierney gets so sold on Nickal's confidence that he vows to "hammer the odds" on his fight!

Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski are back as baseball free agency begins. The big topic of discussion today: Will Pete Alonso STAY or GO?

BT, Sal, and Hoff unleash "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth," testing the hottest takes in New York sports and beyond! The trio goes head-to-head on the Mets' looming free agency: Will Edwin Diaz be back in 2026, or will the Dodgers steal him? They clash over baseball insider Jeff Passan's predictions, debating if Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger could be teammates and if the Yankees can afford to lose Bellinger. Finally, a fiery NFL/NHL crossover question: will the Rangers' home win total in November surpass the combined home wins of the Jets and Giants? The segment closes with a serious discussion about the influence of John Mara's health and family loyalty on the Giants' front office decisions.

BT & Sal launch into a fiery debate over the Giants' messy front office, fueled by Ian O'Connor's report suggesting Joe Schoen's return is not a "certainty" and that his retention for the coaching search may be due to the health of John Mara. The hosts are infuriated that Schoen was spared while Daboll was fired, pointing to the GM's 20-40-1 record over four years and the Giants' "lack of awareness." They discuss the need for a "truth teller" to break the team's cycle of mistakes and debate whether a low-risk veteran coach like Mike McCarthy or a high-upside gamble is the right move. The segment is punctuated by the "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth" baseball predictions (Diaz to the Dodgers? Tucker and Bellinger as teammates?) and Sal's ticket debacles, including a jinxed free Rangers game that was pulled last minute, right before the team finally broke its home scoring drought!

BT & Sal dive into the hot stove free agency odds, starting a fierce debate on the line between fan passion and financial "prudence." They discuss potential landing spots for Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, Cody Bellinger, and Kyle Tucker, with Sal arguing the Yankees must focus on Bellinger or target a perfect trade fit like Steven Kwan to truly improve. The biggest argument centers on Pete Alonso and the Mets. Sal believes Pete's market will be robust, while BT declares his first conversation with Alonso would be a non-negotiable stipulation: he must agree to be a bulk DH to prioritize the team's defense ("DH or GTFO!"). They conclude that if the Mets impose this restriction, teams like the Red Sox and Phillies will likely swoop in, making an Alonso departure a real possibility.

In today's episode of the Yankees Nation Podcast, Ryan covered:- World Series wrap up- Bellinger opts out- Qualifying offer deadline approaches- Kyle Tucker temperature check- Should the Yankees trade for Steven Kwan?

BT and Sal laid out their projected—and sometimes aggressive—Game 3 Yankees lineup, with the biggest disagreement centered on Giancarlo Stanton. Sal believes the Yankees will keep Stanton's bat in as the DH against a lefty, but BT predicted a "ballsy" move, forecasting Stanton to be benched due to his poor recent at-bats, even in a do-or-die situation. Both agreed on a top three of Goldschmidt, Judge, and Bellinger, but their middle-of-the-order and third-base options differed, highlighting the difficult, high-stakes decisions facing the Yankees in their final lineup.
