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 & 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 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 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 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 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!

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.

In this episode of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre cover a jam-packed week of Yankees baseball. From Aaron Judge passing Joe DiMaggio on the all-time Yankees home run list to the shocking news about Anthony Volpe's torn labrum, no stone is left unturned. The conversation swings from historical overlap between Yankee greats like Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle to current struggles with the bullpen and the impact of questionable deadline trades.The duo also debates free-agent targets like Bellinger vs. Grisham, discusses the future of Ben Rice, and takes a hard look at the state of catching depth in the organization.Key Topics Discussed:Opening banter: bullpen woes, Leiter Jr. frustrations, and old-school Mike & the Mad Dog vibesAaron Judge's monster homers in Boston + milestone: passing Joe DiMaggio with 362 HRsQuick math: Judge's chase of Lou Gehrig (493 career HRs)Overlap in Yankee history: Gehrig with DiMaggio, DiMaggio with Mantle, and beyondCurrent Yankees update: 81–65, 3 GB in the AL East, 1st Wild Card spotBullpen collapses vs. Detroit, rebounding in Boston, and standout pitching performancesAnthony Volpe injury news: torn labrum since May + Yankees' mishandlingOswald Peraza quietly shipped to the AngelsDeadline disappointment: Jake Byrd's struggles and bullpen depth issuesFree agent debates: Cody Bellinger vs. Trent Grisham, Ben Rice's future at 1BCatcher market outlook: Gary Sánchez, J.T.

BT speculated on the future of the Yankees' roster in 2026, pointing out the major decisions the front office faces regarding key players like Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, and promising prospects like Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez. He expressed a preference for retaining Bellinger, citing his elite versatility and overall value, while also raising concerns about what that would mean for the development of younger players. The discussion centered on whether the Yankees will finally break their old habits and build a cohesive, well-balanced team, or continue to make the same old mistakes that have plagued them for years.
What a difference a week makes for the Yankees!

Boomer & Gio are out this week so today it's Jerry and Willie Colon. We started with the Subway Series and how the Mets threw out a bunch of no name pitchers to face Max Fried, and it almost worked. If Cody Bellingers doesn't make that amazing catch and then doubles up Lindor at first. It saved the game for sure. Carlos Mendoza was tossed in the ninth yesterday because of the horrendous strike calls. Pete Alonso will not be doing the HR derby as he wants to enjoy the all star festivities. Juan Soto was not voted to the all star game and some see it as a snub. C-Lo is here for his first update of the day and we heard Dave Sims on the call for the Bellinger catch. The Yankees snapped a 6-game losing streak. Mendoza talked about getting tossed. Evan Roberts is in Paris for vacation and posted some videos about the Mets win on Friday. He also did a Rico Brogna podcast from France. Al is going to Montana next week and has nothing planned. Jerry said he came across professional pillow fighting. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about Aaron Boone and the Yankees as they're going through this bad stretch (not counting the win yesterday). It does not seem like the Yankees are going to run away with the East.
Hour 1 - Boomer & Gio are out this week, so Jerry Recco and Willie Colon hosted, starting with the Subway Series, where the Mets nearly beat the Yanks if not for Cody Bellinger's incredible catch. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was tossed arguing bad strike calls, and Pete Alonso is skipping the HR Derby. Juan Soto's All-Star snub was also a topic. C-Lo gave his first update, including Dave Sims' call of the Bellinger catch, as the Yankees snapped a six-game losing streak. Evan Roberts is vacationing in Paris, posting Mets win videos and a Rico Brogna podcast. Al is off to Montana with no plans, and Jerry discovered professional pillow fighting. The hour concluded by discussing Aaron Boone and the Yankees' struggles, suggesting they won't run away with the AL East. Hour 2 - A caller to Sal Licata blamed WFAN and the media for players struggling in New York, citing their success after leaving. Willie Colon shared his own experiences with media criticism during his time with the Jets and in Pittsburgh. C-Lo then delivered an update, highlighting the Yankees' win over the Mets, including another Aaron Judge home run and Cody Bellinger's impressive catch and double play. There was also a segment on Anthony Volpe's father confronting fans in the stands who were criticizing his son, with audio of Sal's exchange with the caller on player criticism. The hour concluded with a caller mentioning Montana's attractions, specifically that you can drive to North and South Dakota from there. Hour 3 - The show continued its discussion on player criticism, especially for high-salaried athletes, balancing expectations with the reality of performance. Upcoming Jets and Giants seasons, with Aaron Rodgers' Week 1 return to MetLife, were also reviewed. C-Lo delivered an update, but not before Jerry and a caller had a brief argument. Evan Roberts recorded a "Rico Brogna" podcast from Paris while scoring a game at the airport, and Pete Alonso will be in the All-Star game but not the HR Derby. The hour ended with Jerry introducing a guessing game about an X post and a conversation with the new intern. Hour 4 - The show covered Starling Marte's injury and the Mets' anticipated return of Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga, while Jerry noted a lack of buzz for the Subway Series. The Knicks still haven't held a press conference for new head coach Mike Brown. A humorous discussion ensued about social norms regarding public attire. C-Lo's final update focused on the Yankees' win over the Mets, featuring Cody Bellinger's excellent defense. Other topics included Keith Hernandez's recent success with a plunger, Joe Benigno's seemingly too-early 5 AM Saturday show, and "The Moment of The Day" highlighting Al's unplanned Montana trip. The segment concluded with Jerry feeling "fleeced."
