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

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.
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.

Today's word of the day is ‘exposure' as in the Yankees as in Brian Cashman as in Aaron Boone as in Cody Bellinger. The Yankees re-signed Bellinger, MVP Judge returns, Gerrit Cole might return, and Cashman's confidence is sky high. Are they as good as he says they are? Will this be the year the Yankees win a World Series again? (16:33) Bill Belichick has gotten everyone to come out and defend him. Tom Brady. Robert Kraft. And now the Pro Football Hall of Fame is releasing statements! (29:45) The Browns always seem to do something wrong. Todd Monken is the new head coach. Former Browns OC is back in the mix. And Jim Schwartz is pissed. (35:42) Review: It Was Just An Accident. (39:30) NPPOD. We have to talk about Giannis again. What is going on with the Bucks? (44:30) Is LIV Golf done?

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

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.

The offseason officially rolls on for the Chase for 28 crew, but optimism is in short supply. In Episode 117, Chris, the Podcast Padre, and the Podcast Paisan return to break down a Yankees winter that feels frozen in time. From the shocking qualifying offer acceptance by Trent Grisham to the continued reliance on analytics over fundamentals, the guys question whether Brian Cashman and the front office truly understand what this team needs to win in October.The conversation spans roster construction, positional logjams, and the growing frustration of running back essentially the same team. They debate Volpe's future, Ben Rice's role, the impossibility of moving Giancarlo Stanton's contract, and whether the Yankees are leaning too heavily on pitching to mask offensive flaws. Add in lockout speculation, ownership spending concerns, Asian market rumors, and a lively trivia debate, and this episode captures exactly how uneasy Yankees fans feel heading into 2026.Key Topics DiscussedWhy the Yankees made (and lost) the Trent Grisham qualifying offer gambleHow MLB qualifying offers work—and why this one backfiredHas baseball passed Brian Cashman by?Analytics vs. “using your eyes” in roster decisionsThe Yankees' youth movement paradox: Domínguez, Jones, Volpe, WellsBen Rice as catcher or first baseman—and the ripple effectsLefty-heavy lineups, balance, and Yankee Stadium roster philosophyFrustrations with bottom-of-the-lineup productionDebating contact hitters vs. power-first approachesAsian market targets: Murakami, Okamoto, Imai, and posting-system realitiesGiancarlo Stanton's contract and the need to free the DH spotPitching reliance: Cole's age, Rodón's value, and rotation trustLockout speculation and the Dodgers changing the financial landscapeAre the Yankees still true AL East favorites?Yankees Trivia
BT & Sal dive into the emotional anguish of Mets fandom, debating a caller who fears waiting 50 years for another World Series and wants a win while his father is still alive. The hosts tear into GM David Stearns' perceived lack of emotional connection, arguing that running the team "like a business" without caring for the fans is a recipe for failure. The discussion quickly turns fiery, questioning the deep-seated mistrust Mets fans have for Steve Cohen and whether the Metropolitan Park casino project is the real priority over a winning team. Finally, the talk shifts to the Yankees, where Sal slams Brian Cashman for the "stupid qualifying offer" to Trent Grisham, calling it the major mistake that crippled the Yankees' ability to land Cody Bellinger and other key free agents. They debate the Yankees' appetite for a long-term deal with Bellinger, drawing parallels to the costly, ultimately failed pursuit of Juan Soto.

BT and Sal are furious that the main takeaway from the Yankees' Winter Meetings is Brian Cashman's old Sonny Gray drama, where Cashman claimed Gray lied about wanting to play in New York. The hosts argue this is a self-made distraction to divert attention from the real issues: the team's inaction on critical offseason needs. They demand to know if the Yankees are pursuing Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger and are frustrated by the vague plan for left field and the ongoing leadoff hitter void. The hosts warn that simply relying on a strong rotation (which will be vulnerable early due to injuries) and the return of Judge is not enough to win a World Series, criticizing the focus on a former player instead of fixing the lineup.
BT & Sal dissect the Jets' brutal loss to the Dolphins, arguing that the pathetic gameplay is paradoxically "great for the franchise," as the defeat—coupled with the Daniel Jones injury—dramatically improves the value of their Colts draft pick, potentially securing a franchise QB like Mendoza. The conversation pivots to the Yankees, where they rail against the media's obsession with the Sonny Gray drama, demanding that Brian Cashman focus on Kwan and Bellinger instead of irrelevant history. They debate whether re-signing Bellinger is enough to make the Yankees a World Series contender and analyze the team's messy first base and left-field situation, lamenting the right-handed hitting drought if Stanton stays. The hosts then launch into a hilarious and detailed critique of "The Bald Look," with BT slamming the ridiculousness of men who maintain side "wings" and Sal detailing his neurotic shaving routine. Finally, they address the viral picture of their producer, Hoff, and his sweatpants bulge, expressing disbelief over the sudden public fascination with his "package."
BT & Sal launch a fiery debate on the Yankees' enduring failure to win a championship, arguing that Hal Steinbrenner's business-first approach and continued lavish spending are actually making it easy for Brian Cashman to avoid accountability. They contend that the Yankees are not held to a true championship standard, with regular season wins merely being "fluff." Tierney breaks down the six levels of culpability, giving Hal a "pass" for cutting checks while placing the majority of the blame on Cashman for a lack of adaptation to the modern game, poor roster construction, and disastrous player development and international scouting. Sal argues that Hal lacks the "fire inside" of a competitive owner like George Steinbrenner or Steve Cohen, viewing the Yankees more as a "brand" than a passion play for winning.
The "Call of the Day" features a legendary, "savage" rant from Jim on the Jersey Shore, who tears into BT & Sal for not relentlessly attacking Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner. Jim calls Hal a "trust fund puke" who is "ruining our team" and suggests that any Yankee fan who attends a game next year is a "sucker." The caller specifically challenges Tierney's perceived neutrality on Hal compared to his past "savaging" of Brian Cashman, prompting a fiery defense from BT. Sal offers a solution: "Raise your kids Mets fans." The ensuing debate shifts into a deep-dive question: If a salary cap were introduced, would Stearns' small-market track record or Cashman's experience be better suited to build a winner?
BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over Hal Steinbrenner's ownership of the Yankees, questioning if he prioritizes winning or treating the team strictly as a business, unlike his father, George. They criticize Hal for being "too complacent" with 90-win seasons and constantly referencing the luxury tax, arguing he must either spend more to compensate for team shortcomings or fire the people who spend his money poorly. The discussion pivots to Brian Cashman, asking why he continues to receive a pass despite the team's long championship drought and failure to adapt to the modern game, particularly in player development and scouting. Finally, the hosts rank New York's sports owners (Mara, Woody, Cohen, Dolan, Ledecky) based on their perceived passion vs. business focus, concluding that John Mara is the most passionate, while Hal Steinbrenner and James Dolan lean heavily toward business-first priorities.
BT & Sal torch Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner for his "tone-deaf" comments and for treating the Yankees as a business first, calling his $100 million payment to New York City an "excuse" for not spending to win. The hosts criticize Hal's complacency with Brian Cashman, demanding accountability for the championship drought and lack of player development. The debate spills over to ranking New York's sports owners (Mara, Woody, Cohen, Dolan) by their commitment to winning. In a hypothetical blockbuster, Sal makes the case for an aggressive Mets trade for Fernando Tatis Jr. over signing free agents. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins to dismantle the 2-10 Giants' claim that they're better than their record. The show wraps with a breakdown of the historic Thanksgiving Football slate, the "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth" segment, and a "Call of the Day" where a furious Yankee fan "savages" Brandon Tierney for not being aggressive enough against Hal, vowing a boycott against the "trust fund puke."
