In a high-energy Thursday morning appearance on Sid Rosenberg's show, WFAN icon Joe Beningo joins from New Jersey to discuss the latest in New York sports. He opens with light-hearted jabs about his recent media feud with Mayor Zohran Mamdani before diving into the good news: warmer weather ahead to end a brutal winter. Beningo expresses strong support for President Trump's actions on Iran, citing decades of unaddressed attacks on Americans, while acknowledging some Republican criticism. Turning to sports, he mourns the recent passing of coaching legend Lou Holtz (who coached the disastrous 1976 Jets season), reminisces about college basketball's glory days before NIL and one-and-dones "ruined" it, and debates the Knicks' status as a solid but not elite Eastern Conference team (predicting 50+ wins, a first-round playoff victory, but no championship). He rips the officiating in their recent loss to OKC but urges fans to relax—the regular season is just seeding. On the Jets, Beningo shows cautious optimism in new GM moves (like franchising Breece Hall) but low confidence in head coach Aaron Glenn, suggesting a stopgap QB this year and a real franchise prospect in the stacked 2027 draft class. For the Mets, he laments losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, questions the bullpen (especially Devin Williams), but sees contender potential with improved starting pitching and hitters like Juan Soto and Bo Bichette—if they don't make the playoffs, manager Carlos Mendoza and GM David Stearns could be out. He gives the Yankees a strong nod for their rotation (led by a healthy Gerrit Cole) and playoff lock, though the loaded AL East and Dodgers' dominance temper World Series hopes. Beningo closes by predicting a potential lengthy MLB lockout over salary cap issues, urging fans to enjoy 2026 while it lasts. Full of signature passion, honesty ("let's be honest"), and New York grit, it's classic Joe Beningo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski are BACK with another episode of the 'Why am I a Mets Fan?' podcast! This week, we're discussing all of the musings at Mets Spring Training in Port St. Lucie. Opening Day is less than a month away! Carlos Mendoza names Freddy Peralta the Opening Day starter..plus, Juan Soto comments on battling Shohei Ohtani for NL MVP, Brandon Nimmo speaks out, and much more. 00:00-6:00: Mets name Freddy Peralta as the Opening Day starter against Pittsburgh and Paul Skenes 6:01-15:32: Juan Soto vs. Shohei Ohtani for NL MVP? 15:33-25:29: Brandon Nimmo comments about captaincy, more about the clubhouse drama from 2025 25:30-29:27: Should the Mets stick with a 6-man rotation to accommodate Kodai Senga? #mlb #mlbb #mlblb #baseball #podcast #mets #sports #newyork #newyorkmets #metsbaseball #losangeles #dodgers #losangelesdodgers #dodgersbaseball #juansoto #mlbbcreatorcamp #mlbbshorts #mlbopeningday #springtraining #hotstove #mlbhotstove LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE, LISTEN ON ALL PLATFORMS: https://www.flowcode.com/page/whymetspod Learn more about your ad choices.

Ron Darling's blunt assessment of the rotation. With six healthy starters, is it finally time to stop building around Cody Singer and lock into a traditional five-man plan? The guys break down the risk of a six-man rotation, how it could cost Nolan McClain and Freddy Peralta valuable starts, and why Carlos Mendoza has a season-defining decision to make before Opening Day. Evan also pushes his favorite compromise: a “tag team” piggyback strategy that could maximize depth while protecting arms. Then spring training drama hits. Cardinals broadcasters call out Juan Soto for not running out a pop-up, and Evan and Tiki go at it over whether hustle even matters in March. Is it lazy optics, smart injury prevention, or fake outrage from a meaningless game in Jupiter? Plus, a quick look at Clay Holmes' development, pitchers experimenting with new stuff, and why nothing you see right now should cause panic… yet.

Mets fans wanted the movie scene: Nolan McLean at Citi Field on Opening Day, homegrown phenom vs. Paul Skenes, two young flamethrowers kicking off the season with electricity. Instead, Carlos Mendoza goes with Freddie Peralta as the Opening Day starter, and it sets off a classic New York debate about what matters more: the ace, the moment, or the message. The show dives into why McLean has fans dreaming big. The kid looks like the future of Mets pitching, and Mets history is built on arms. But body of work still counts, and Peralta is the established top-of-the-rotation guy, even if he is only guaranteed for one season.

The clip is everywhere: Aaron Glenn at the Combine looking like he's “resting his eyes” on national TV. The show opens by defending how brutally boring the Combine is, then gets real about what matters in 2026, optics. For a Jets coach already under a microscope, that moment turns into instant Jets lore, and the crew debates whether he will ever shake it once the season starts. Then the calls flood in and the Jets embarrassment fatigue is loud. Connor Green speaks for the fan base that is tired of becoming a weekly meme, while callers argue whether this is harmless, unacceptable, or a sign of bigger problems. The conversation also touches the fallout of the Jermaine Johnson trade and why the Jets absolutely have to hit on their premium draft picks. From there it's back to the Giants: draft smoke, Kayvon Thibodeaux trade chatter, and the larger question of who is actually safe as Big Blue reshapes the roster. The show also digs into the anxiety of losing free agents and how quickly “cap savings” turns into desperation when you still need starters. And yes, the Mets take over a chunk of the hour too. Carlos Mendoza names Freddie Peralta the Opening Day starter, which sparks the debate Mets fans did not want: should the homegrown phenom Nolan McLean have gotten the honor, especially with Paul Skenes lined up on the other side? The crew breaks down why the Peralta choice feels like a recruitment pitch for an impending free agent, why fans wanted the electric McLean vs. Skenes matchup, and whether “your ace must start Opening Day” is a hard rule or just a tradition.

Sal Licata joins Locked Up Sports for a must-watch conversation covering his departure from WFAN, the future of the Mets under Carlos Mendoza, and whether the Knicks' championship window is closing. Sal opens up about the WFAN decision, saying he doesn't agree with it but respects it — and confirms he will not be returning. We dive deep into the Mets, where Sal makes it clear: if the team misses the playoffs, Carlos Mendoza will be fired. He also tells fans to move on from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo, praises David Stearns for breaking up a losing core, and predicts a bounce-back season from Francisco Alvarez. Sal also believes the addition of Marcus Semien was a strong move to improve the lineup. On the Knicks side, Sal says if they don't win a championship this year, it may be time to break up the core. This is a bold, honest, unfiltered NY sports conversation. #NYMets #NewYorkMets #WFAN #Knicks #NBA #SalLicata #LockedUpSports

Tony Clark did what? Carlos Mendoza denies political locker room divide, and Jalen Brunson wants to get paid.

Would Mike Evans instantly transform the Giants offense… or is signing an aging star receiver a risky move, even on a “reasonable” deal? Evan and Tiki debate whether the veteran Buccaneers wideout is a slam-dunk target or a move that could age poorly. Then the conversation pivots to Queens, where Carlos Mendoza's recent comments spark major questions. Why has the tone changed on naming Francisco Lindor captain? Is this coming from ownership? And what does it say about leadership inside the Mets clubhouse? Plus, the guys react to the Luke Weaver “Yankees bag” moment, the reality of players switching allegiances in New York, and the swirling rumors about politics, cliques, and chemistry behind the scenes. Tiki offers a blunt take on what a manager should actually know about his locker room and whether “I don't know” is ever an acceptable answer. Giants roster talk, Mets leadership debate, and a deep dive into how much clubhouse dynamics really matter when a season goes sideways.

Carlos Mendoza opens up about the team last year and what to look forward from the Mets in 2026 with Craig & Chris McMonigle.

Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand?

Mets Chaos Already?! Carlos Mendoza Speaks, Injuries Mount & Cohen's SHOCKING “No Captain EVER” Rule!

Francisco Lindor's hamate surgery puts the Mets on the clock, with Opening Day looming and no guarantees he will be ready in time. As the team insists patience is the priority, Carlos Mendoza finally names the emergency shortstop options if Lindor needs extra time. That opens the door to a bigger debate. Should the Mets turn back to a familiar face and bring back Jose Iglesias on a short term deal? We break down the internal options, the long term plan for Ronny Mauricio, and why a simple stopgap move might make the most sense if Lindor misses the first week or two.

Francisco Lindor's surgery timeline has Mets fans doing calendar math as Opening Day approaches. If he is not ready, Carlos Mendoza finally lays out the emergency shortstop options, and we ask the obvious question: why not just bring back Jose Iglesias on a low-risk deal? Plus: a caller's looming 2027 lockout fears, a winter classic edition of “Cinco de Luncho” ranking New York teams closest to a title, and a new MLB rule aimed at keeping base coaches in the box to curb sign-stealing angles.

Carlos Mendoza talked about the injury to Lindor's hand. The Texas Rangers are giving away a replica bloody jersey from Nolan Ryan as well as a bobblehead of him throwing a punch.

Hour 3 starts with the Mets, as Carlos Mendoza's comments on a “corporate” clubhouse reignite the chemistry conversation. The guys break down what Mendoza really admitted, why Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor's personalities matter when things go bad, and whether leadership has to come from someone other than the highest-paid star. They also hit the idea that locker rooms are messy everywhere, even for “great leaders,” and why David Stearns is about as untouchable as it gets in New York sports. Then it pivots back to the NBA with Ian Begley joining to sort through the Giannis noise, Jrue Holiday rumors, Karl-Anthony Towns tension, and what the Knicks can realistically do with the trade deadline a week away. Begley gives a sober read on whether this roster is truly championship built, what happens if the team sputters before the deadline, and why any Jrue move is likely tied directly to the Giannis chessboard. The hour closes with quick hits: Buffalo's Joe Brady hiring reshapes the coaching carousel and Brian Daboll's options, plus a rapid-fire look at what's next on the sports calendar as deadlines and Super Bowl week collide.

The Knicks are in the mix for an MVP once again, Carlos Mendoza acknowledges a truth, and coaching rumors swirl the NFL

With Opening Day creeping closer, the Mets' clubhouse chemistry is back under the microscope after Carlos Mendoza's comments on the Heyman and Sherman pod. Asked if there were issues last year, Mendoza starts with “yeah,” then explains what he really means: the room was professional, respectful, and at times way too “corporate,” without enough celebrating or looseness when things got tough. The guys connect that to the dynamic between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, two stars with totally different personalities. Soto is all business, Lindor is the constant energy guy, and that contrast can be fine when you are winning, but tricky when the season gets stressful. They also zoom out to a bigger point about locker rooms: even “great leaders” can have messy relationships, and plenty of winning teams keep everything quiet, which is why we rarely hear these stories until someone finally says the quiet part out loud.

Carlos Mendoza just pulled back the curtain on a fractured Mets clubhouse, revealing that stars Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor may not be seeing eye-to-eye. Jerry has Rangers' OT thriller and David Wright's plea for fans to trust the "Stearns Masterplan." He also has a snowy Moment of the Day and we end the show pondering the alleged "supervolcano" in Yellowstone.

The Jets' coaching staff is taking shape with Frank Reich likely joining the ranks, sparking a heated debate over whether Kyler Murray, Malik Willis, or even Deshaun Watson will be the one to lead his offense. The Mets welcome Freddy Peralta while manager Carlos Mendoza addresses rumors of a rift between stars Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. From the Rangers' dramatic overtime victory to the looming dread of life after football season—and even the threat of a Yellowstone supervolcano—we cover a lot of stuff and laugh as well.
