Aaron Judge opened some eyes with his comments on the Yankees offseason, leading to reactions from Craig Carton, Chris McMonigle, and Tommy Lugauer.

Plus, did Brian Cashman slip up with some spring training comments of his own? And Shaun Morash ignited baseball fans with his Derek Jeter vs. Omar Vizquel take.

Brian Cashman talked and it became the subject of debate between Evan Roberts and Morash. They had to bring McMonigle in to discuss. Dan Hurley is not happy with the empty seats at UConn.

Gio recalls being an ‘a-hole' on a sixth-grade trip to DC. C-Lo has more from Aaron Judge, Brian Cashman sparking a debate between Evan Roberts and Morash that required McMonigle to weigh in. Dan Hurley is unhappy with empty seats at UConn, Wendy's claims a rebuilding year, and the final Long Island Hooters closes. Finally, the guys discuss Stephen A. Smith's presidential interests, a potential Kevin Burkhardt run, and Al's theory on why Hooters fails locally.

Boomer is out as Gio & Jerry discuss the Dolphins releasing Tyreek Hill, Miami's tank mode, Tua's status. Following updates on Aaron Judge and Steve Cohen's remarks about the off season, the guys discuss everything from Gio's 6th-grade trip and a debate erupting over Brian Cashman's remarks. The focus shifts to potential Mets blame for a bad season start. The show concludes with 2026 hot seat coaches, ending with whether Aaron Judge will become more vocal against the Yankees. We also give you the usual crazy asides that keep it interesting.

Brian Cashman set off a firestorm after a stunning press conference blunder, appearing to misremember how the Yankees' season actually ended. Did the GM really think they reached the ALCS, or was it just a harmless slip of the tongue? Evan and Tiki debate whether this mistake exposes a deeper problem inside the organization: complacency, revisionist history, and a lack of urgency despite falling short of championship expectations. Plus, the guys loop in Chris “Big Mac” McMonagle for a rapid-fire verdict, compare the controversy to similar front-office comments across sports, and open the phones to frustrated fans weighing in on accountability, leadership, and what this says about the Yankees' direction heading into the new season. Is this outrage justified or classic overreaction in the Bronx?

Hour 3 is all over the map in the best way. First, the crew reacts to Brian Cashman making a brutal mistake while recapping last season, calling it the “ALCS” and setting off an argument about whether it is a harmless slip or proof the Yankees operate with zero urgency. Big Mac steps in with the defense, Evan and Sean push back, and the phones weigh in. Then it turns to Barack Obama's viral alien comments from a lightning round, why the follow-up never happened in the moment, and the clarification that came after. And of course, Sean Morash brings Cinco de Luncho, drafting the Top 5 Non Big Four Sporting Events he would want to attend, including Daytona, the Kentucky Derby, the Waste Management Open, Japanese baseball, and an SEC rivalry game at No. 1.

A brand new weekly segment is born: “Are You Kidding Me?” where the show rounds up the dumbest sports opinions from around the station and crowns a winner. The inaugural list comes in hot. It starts with Boomer's take on an Olympic athlete feeling conflicted about representing Team USA, and a bigger debate about whether fans can say “keep politics out of sports” while still celebrating icons like Muhammad Ali. From there it gets even more ridiculous: Keith McPherson going after Luke Weaver for showing up to Mets camp with Yankees gear, Tommy's “Aaron Judge is the best right fielder in New York sports” line, and Craig Carton going full scorched earth by calling for LeBron James to be suspended for sitting out. Then it turns into a full-blown trial about what actually counts as a “real sports opinion” when Sean Morash's Brian Cashman wardrobe rant becomes the lightning rod. The crew argues, votes get disputed, and callers jump in to break the tie as the segment goes off the rails in the best way.

The Great Knicks Debate: The hosts push back against Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton's theory that the Knicks should avoid the Pistons until the Conference Finals. They argue why facing a dangerous team early—before they earn postseason "battle scars"—is actually the smarter path. Office Controversy: Sean alleges that a coworker "stole" his specific critique of Brian Cashman's spring training wardrobe (likening him to a World Series of Poker player), sparking a debate on radio etiquette and borrowed opinions. Road Game Realities: The crew and callers trade war stories about the dangers of being a visiting fan in hostile environments like Philadelphia and Dallas—specifically the eerie silence (and occasional flying beer bottles) that follows a road team victory. The Dunk Contest & Giants Updates: A look at why even $1 million offers to stars like Kobe and LeBron couldn't fix the Dunk Contest, followed by injury recovery timelines for Giants players Cam and Malik Nabers.

Hour 3: Brian Cashman is way too comfortable. Lindor's injury and Soto's move to left are nothing to worry about.

Spring training opens with good news for the New York Yankees. Everyone is healthy, no surprise injuries, and Aaron Boone confirms the roster is ready to go. So why is there outrage on Day One? The debate explodes when Brian Cashman arrives in a hoodie, trucker hat, and backpack. What starts as jokes about his Starbucks order turns into a full-blown argument about professionalism, comfort, and whether the Yankees' longtime GM has grown too comfortable in his role. Is criticizing Cashman's outfit fair, or does it distract from real issues like roster construction and accountability? Fans call in, tempers flare, and the show wrestles with what Yankees standards are supposed to look like in 2026.

Cinco de Luncho delivers a full football breakdown as the guys rank the five best veteran quarterback options for the New York Jets heading into 2026. From off-the-wall trade ideas to realistic stopgap solutions, the list sparks debate about upside, durability, and whether the Jets are actually a decent landing spot for a veteran passer. Names like Tyson Bagent, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, Deshaun Watson, and Mac Jones are all dissected, with arguments over ceiling versus floor and whether copying the Sam Darnold revival model is the smartest path forward. The segment also turns light and chaotic, from smoothie reveals and Cinco history tracking to callers roasting Shaun over his Brian Cashman wardrobe takes. It wraps with Mets talk as the crew predicts when Francisco Lindor will return from hamate surgery and when he will launch his first home run of the season. Classic Cinco energy with equal parts football theory, New York sports chaos, and laughs.

Spring training is here, the Yankees are healthy, and it should feel like a celebration. Instead, Shaun Morash finds a way to sound the alarm, and it has nothing to do with the roster. His issue? Brian Cashman's “walk-in” look: hoodie, trucker hat, backpack, iced coffee, and a vibe that screams “too comfortable.” Evan and Tiki push back hard, debating whether this is a real red flag or just peak offseason nitpicking, while callers line up to either roast Shaun or agree the Yankees brand demands more professionalism. Plus, Evan spins the argument into a new idea: a weekly vote for the dumbest opinion on WFAN, and Shaun might already be the runaway favorite.

Brian Cashman should sign this former Yankee to boost a quiet offseason.

The focus shifts straight to the Yankees as Brian Cashman publicly defends the decision to bring back Trent Grisham on a one year, $22 million deal and even frames it as a bargain. The crew breaks down why that explanation is driving fans crazy and whether the logic actually holds up in today's market. The discussion turns into a deeper argument about how the Yankees build rosters, the balance between spending and flexibility, and whether veterans like Grisham are acting as smart insurance or actively blocking the development of younger players like Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones. Is this disciplined roster management or the same thinking that keeps the Yankees from fully committing to their future?

Yankees manager Aaron Boone joins Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle on The Carton Show on WFAN for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense interview that hits every topic Yankees fans obsess over. Boone addresses long-standing rumors about Brian Cashman and analytics controlling in-game decisions, responds to criticism about accountability, and explains why he won't rewatch painful losses. Plus, Boone opens up on Aaron Judge's leadership, Giancarlo Stanton's health, Gerrit Cole's rehab, Anthony Volpe's future, bullpen struggles, running it back in 2026, and the pressure of managing the New York Yankees without a championship. A must-watch conversation during Super Bowl week as Boone heads to Tampa for spring training.

In this hour, the guys dive into the latest controversies surrounding New York sports and the NFL offseason. The Yankees & Trent Grisham Saga The show opens with a reaction to Brian Cashman's recent interview, where he doubled down on the Trent Grisham trade and contract. The Debate: Cashman calls the $22 million deal a "steal" in the current market, while the hosts debate if Grisham is merely an expensive insurance policy that blocks younger talent like Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones. The Roster Impact: Is Grisham's presence stunting the development of "The Martian," or do the Yankees need veteran depth for a World Series run? Giants Ownership & The Epstein Files The conversation shifts to the reports regarding Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and leaked emails connecting him to Jeffrey Epstein. NFL Discipline: A discussion on whether the league will punish Tisch similarly to how they handled other owner controversies, or if the lack of criminal charges protects him. Future Ownership: Speculation arises on the Koch family's minority stake and if they are positioning themselves to take over a local team in the future. Super Bowl Storylines & The "Boring" Build-Up With the Super Bowl approaching, the hosts struggle to find compelling narratives, leading to a "Top 5 Storylines" list that includes: Sam Darnold's "Middle Finger Tour." Fears of a new Patriots Dynasty. The Seahawks/Patriots revenge narrative. Stefon Diggs winning a ring before Josh Allen. 49ers practice facility conspiracy theories. The Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Firing & Paternity Leave A heated discussion regarding the firing of Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and reports citing his two-week paternity leave during training camp as a point of contention. The Contrast: The hosts compare this to Bills coach Joe Brady's comment about missing his child's birth for a game, ultimately concluding that both approaches are personal choices ("to each his own") rather than fireable offenses. NBA & MLB Notes KAT vs. The Critics: A deep dive into Karl-Anthony Towns' statistics. While he is averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds, the hosts note this is his lowest career field goal percentage and effective field goal percentage, sparking a debate on his All-Star validity vs. Pascal Siakam. Reds Sign Suarez: Reaction to Eugenio Suarez signing with Cincinnati and what that means for the Mets' reliance on Mark Vientos.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone joins Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle on The Carton Show on WFAN for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense interview that hits every topic Yankees fans obsess over. Boone addresses long-standing rumors about Brian Cashman and analytics controlling in-game decisions, responds to criticism about accountability, and explains why he won't rewatch painful losses. Plus, Boone opens up on Aaron Judge's leadership, Giancarlo Stanton's health, Gerrit Cole's rehab, Anthony Volpe's future, bullpen struggles, running it back in 2026, and the pressure of managing the New York Yankees without a championship. A must-watch conversation during Super Bowl week as Boone heads to Tampa for spring training.

Not buying everything Brian Cashman is saying and fans are ready for Super Bowl Saturday. The Islanders and Tommy are joining forces. The Knicks picked up their captain and played great defense to beat the Lakers. Hour 5.

A Yankees doom caller unloads a six-point rant claiming everyone stinks Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Aaron Judge, Aaron Boone, Brian Cashman and Craig Carton absolutely unloads back on The Carton Show on WFAN. Carton mocks the caller's list, fires off rapid-fire “he sucks” reactions, calls out postseason narratives, and turns the argument into must-hear radio chaos. The show then spirals into deep Boone vs Cashman debates, whether the Yankees are truly results-driven, and if Boone's clock is officially ticking without a World Series. Plus: Carton refuses to entertain Aaron Judge injury hypotheticals, breaks down why fans overreact to October stats, roasts hoodie fashion choices, shuts down on-air burping, and completely derails into Grammys confusion, naked Justin Bieber takes, mirrors at the gym, and late-night WFAN madness.

A must-watch conversation during Super Bowl week as Boone heads to Tampa for spring training.

After a 40-minute interview with Yankees manager Aaron Boone, Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle break it all down on The Carton Show on WFAN and nothing is off limits. From Giancarlo Stanton concerns and postseason failures, to whether Boone is just a Brian Cashman puppet, this segment dives deep into the question every Yankees fan asks: are the Yankees built to win in October or just dominate 162 games? Carton explains why Boone's legacy comes down to one thing, championships, while callers rip Boone, defend him, and debate analytics, Aaron Judge's importance, and whether this team can ever beat the Dodgers when it matters most. Plus, Carton goes on an all-time anti-analytics rant that only WFAN can deliver.

The Yankees general manager has spoken, and we have a lot of thoughts on his assessment of the offseason, from Craig Carton strongly defending Cashman to Tommy Lugauer ripping the Yanks for essentially running it back.

Let's talk about how Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone love to tell Yankees fans stuff that we know isn't true. They do it all the time as if we don't watch games or have knowledge of things that are going on with the team. Also, I'm going to talk more about Lebron James and his constant campaign of being the GOAT. He's trying SO hard to put himself in that conversation.Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy the show.9Strap Technology - CLICK HEREHallock's Hitting Garage - CLICK HERE

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.

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

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.

Brian Cashman claims the Yankees aren't the same team, Eli won't get in the Hall, and much more

Hour 3: Tommy breaks down Cashman's comments earlier today and how he is content running it back. Plus, NY is officially an Islanders town.

The Carton Show takes a hard left turn from Tom Selleck jokes and Hogan's Heroes trivia into a full-blown Yankees debate. Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to Brian Cashman's latest comments and push back hard on angry Yankee fans screaming about “running it back.” Carton argues Cashman has built a championship-caliber roster, questions what fans actually want, and explains why winning 94 games every year isn't something to take for granted.

Ben Ennis and Daniele Franceschi open Thursday's show by breaking down the Raptors' blowout loss to the Knicks. They focus on Toronto's second half collapse, the team's offensive inconsistency, and what this game says about their place in the Eastern Conference hierarchy. They also discuss the team's need for shooting, Collin Murray-Boyles' impressive play in Jakob Poeltl's absence, and how recent losses may influence the Raptors' trade deadline approach. After the break, the guys react to Brian Cashman's comments on the Yankees' offseason, debate shifts in the AL East landscape, and assess the Blue Jays' standing and New York's chances next season. The hour wraps with a discussion of Bill Polian's Hall of Fame vote and the ongoing debate around Bill Belichick's missing out on his first ballot.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

A trade proposal to help Brian Cashman save the Yankees offseason.

When the New York Mets signed Bo Bichette and traded for Luis Robert Jr., many wondered if President of Baseball Ops David Stearns was finished making major moves this offseason. On Wednesday night though, Stearns had one more big surprise up his sleeve when he acquired someone from his past days in Milwaukee.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the big trade that saw the Mets deal for Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers in exchange for a package of top prospects Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams. With Peralta now headlining the Mets' starting rotation, does this addition make them a World Series contender again? Also, how will the new additions to the Brew Crew's prospect pipeline help them in the immediate future?Later, Jordan and Jake talk about the New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger reuniting after his impressive 2025 season in pinstripes on a five-year, $162.5 million contract. The move further solidifies the Yankees' belief in their offense, essentially running it back from last season—but could Brian Cashman and company have one more front-page deal before Spring Training kicks off? The guys then close the show by making their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.2:03 – The Opener: Freddy Peralta to the Mets29:43 – Jordan's Prospect Hut: The Brewers' return38:28 – Yankees re-sign Cody Bellinger52:00 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update54:37 – The Good1:01:13 – The Bad1:06:44 – The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Craig Carton and Big Mac react to a huge day in New York sports as the Yankees officially bring back Cody Bellinger, shutting the door on the Mets, Blue Jays, and Dodgers. Craig explains why patience paid off for Brian Cashman and why this move was a must to avoid a disastrous offseason in the Bronx. The conversation turns fiery as the guys debate the Mets' pivot from Kyle Tucker and Bellinger to Luis Robert Jr., questioning whether Mets fans should really be “crowing” over a defense-first, low-power lineup.

Send JD a text message and be heard!The @mets make their first splash of the #mlb offseason signing #bobichette to a 3-$126M deal with opt outs in year one and two.  He's also going to play 3B which he's never played in his professional career what could go wrong?  Agree with @jaymahanti & @joewillie62 he played SS so arm strength won't be a concern. Everyone is concerned about an #mlblockout in 2027.  I mean the Mets offered @ktuck_30 4-$220M but the @dodgers beat them out at 4-$240M.  $60M a season for a player who hit three more HR's and one more RBI than @anthonyvolpe who's making $3.4M.  @thejudge44 making $40M as reigning MVP & Tucker getting $20M more this season.  Tucker coming off .266-22-73 season.  Make it make sense.  @companyadjace @thomaswdonovan @nyquil_inthe_flesh @call_me_tca_prez @paddy_bailey & @brianbarnaby had a nice debate over the @yankees great pitching staff when everyone is back healthy.  Also Hal selling the team to Jeff Bezos.   It doesn't matter Cashman and Boone aren't going anywhere.  We are going to have a pool for win totals for all AL East teams this year.  As for the @nyrangers retooling letter from #chrisdrury to the fans @ari_gold24 thanks for explaining that basically Panarin, Zibanejad, Trocheck and Fox are all unmovable and Panarin is an UFA at the end of the #nhl season.  So not sure where the new blood is coming from & who's being traded to make it happen.  NFL playoff picks: @buffalobills 24-10 over @broncos sorry @steve.cohn7 @49ers 21-17 over @seahawks I just don't trust Sam Darnold @partylikearochkind @dominic.etienne @houstontexans 17-14 over @patriots @c_brown518 @d__brown15 yep I did & @rams 28-17 over @chicagobears thought about going Bears but their slow starts scare me.  Sports trivia at the finish line.All sports.

Hour 2 starts with the mystery of Evan's pre-recorded question for MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred that never made air, and the behind-the-scenes explanation from Craig Carton on why it got spiked. The guys finally reveal the question, argue whether it was fair or “too much,” and debate Manfred's obsession with a salary cap and the financial gap between big and small markets. Then the conversation turns into full MLB confusion as Manfred talks realignment, geography, and keeping the Mets and Yankees separate, and nobody can quite agree on what he actually meant. Calls roll in to interpret it, while Evan vents about owners crying “unable” instead of “unwilling” to spend. Plus, the show pivots to Wild Card weekend storylines, including how often teams win rematches, and a fun deep dive into Tiki Barber's playoff games where he faced an opponent for the third time in the same season. The hour also touches on the Giants coaching search optics, Evan's choice between banishing Woody Johnson or Rob Manfred, and a Yankees offseason debate about Cody Bellinger's market and whether Brian Cashman should pivot to Bo Bichette.

In a raw and transparent episode of Unkillable, Brandon Tierney delivers a brutal post-mortem on what he calls an "utterly unwatchable" decade of New York football. As the Giants prepare for the Vikings and the Jets head to New Orleans, BT admits he's rooting for losses to secure the future—specifically the potential of rookie sensation Jaxson Dart leading Big Blue to a title. He questions if the Giants will take a "big swing" at a coach like Mike Tomlin and wonders if Jets' coach Aaron Glenn is already on the hot seat. The fire moves to the diamond as BT targets Brian Cashman, standing by his claim that the Yankees GM hasn't earned the right to rebuild the roster. Despite his skepticism of management, BT geeks out over a "radical" vision for the 2026 Yankees, imagining a "best in baseball" rotation featuring a vintage Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, and Japanese ace Munetaka Murakami. He also defends young guns like Austin Wells and Ben Rice, challenging fans to recognize the "stud" potential in the Yankees' homegrown talent.
