SNY and WFAN's Sal Licata joins Kelley Franco for a no-holds-barred dive into Mets offseason mayhem. Should the Mets blow up the Big Four at the top of the lineup, and trade Lindor or Nimmo? Is Pete Alonso worth the money and the years he is demanding? From bold offseason proposals to behind-the-scenes coaching shakeups (is Kai Correa the manager-in-waiting?), nothing's off-limits. Plus: Reaction to Boone and Cashman's end-of-season ho-hum presser, with injury news on Volpe, Rodón, Cole, and Schmidt. And then Sal and Kelley play the first ever recorded (we think) game show of “guess the al dente cooking time of this pasta shape”. Of course, Sal closes the show by telling us….what's good to eat while watching the ballgame. Don't miss this episode!Follow me on YouTube, X and IG: @threeinningfan*Music by Podington Bear
BT and Sal tear into the Yankees' year-end press conferences, noting Brian Cashman's uncharacteristically "tired" and uncombative demeanor, suggesting he's worn out by the long run of disappointment. The bigger shock is the massive injury toll: Anthony Volpe (shoulder surgery), Carlos Rodón (procedure), and Gerrit Cole (on target, but likely not ready for Opening Day), clouding the offseason plans. The hosts debate Cashman's defense of Volpe's performance and his future, seeing a "first flinch" of self-doubt. They conclude that the Yankees' standard has been utterly decimated because, without any repercussions for years of post-2009 failure, "what is the standard?" Hal Steinbrenner is called out for his silence and for accepting a culture where a 94-win team can get "outclassed and mopped" by the Blue Jays.
BT & Sal gear up for the Yankees' year-end press conference by introducing "Boone & Cashman Press Conference Bingo"! The hosts predict the obligatory buzzwords—"94 Games," "Volpe," "Controllability," "Crapshoot"—while demanding the GM address the team's failed roster construction and stop deflecting with his pitching development success. They debate whether Cashman will fire back at Derek Jeter and A-Rod and reveal what they absolutely need to hear about the future of the team, Gerrit Cole's health, and potential payroll spending. The show also touches on the Giants' "big game hunting" for a receiver, the absurdity of hiring coaches based on team loyalty, and a fiery discussion on whether the NFL is fixed, especially with calls favoring the Chiefs. It all kicks off with Hoff's musical theme: "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Yankees manager Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman give their year-end post-mortem, offering a fiery and defensive account of the 2025 season. Boone admits the team was "beat" by the Blue Jays and laments that the team "hasn't outplayed" opponents in October. Cashman then steps in to address the growing injury list, revealing Anthony Volpe's shoulder surgery was "more severe" than anticipated, forcing him to miss the start of 2026, and that Carlos Rodón will be late due to an elbow clean-up. They defend Volpe's struggles, discuss the staff firings of Mike Harkey and Travis Chapman, and outline the "business as usual" approach to securing a championship, with Cashman declaring the team was a "prizefighter" that got "knocked out."
BT & Sal are locked and loaded for the highly-anticipated Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman year-end press conference, laying out a hilarious, yet accurate, Cashman Bingo Card of predictable phrases and talking points. They debate the likelihood of hearing the GM trot out excuses like "Trust Our Process," "Postseason Crapshoot," and the "Ninety-Four Wins" defense. Sal predicts a fiery Cashman will "aggressively double down" on his "belief in Volpe" and officially launch the "Spencer Jones propaganda." The hosts are expecting fireworks, specifically questioning if Cashman will be combative enough to call out Jeter or A-Rod and reference the Astros cheating as a final deflection. Get ready to play along as the Yankees' brass attempts to spin another disappointing season.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman finally addresses the media, opening up about the rash of late-season injuries and their impact on 2026. He makes a stunning reversal on Anthony Volpe's struggles, admitting the shortstop's shoulder surgery showed the injury was "more severe" than previously claimed, and confirms Volpe will start the season on the Injured List (IL). Cashman also reveals Carlos Rodón will undergo surgery for a bone spur/loose objects and will also miss the start of 2026, creating immediate, serious holes in the roster. While defending manager Aaron Boone and expressing a strong desire to re-sign Cody Bellinger, Cashman's comments shift the focus from the team's postseason failure to a daunting injury crisis that already threatens next year's campaign.
BT & Sal brace for the Yankees' year-end press conference, laying out the fiery demands they have for Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone. They call out the GM to address the elephant in the room: roster construction and the team's annual failure to chase "Championship number 28." The hosts insist Cashman must stop doubling down on young players and be transparent about the team's future, especially regarding Volpe's regression. They also press for an update on Gerrit Cole's health and a clear answer on payroll and signing big-name free agents. The conversation also briefly touches on the overreaction to Jets QB Justin Fields' struggles and the Giants' decision on extending Brian Daboll and Jaxson Dart, with Sal arguing there's no rush for an extension when "who's knocking down Brian Daboll's door?"
BT and Sal dive into the Aaron Glenn debate, energized by a caller who suggests the Jets coach isn't "scared to lose, but scared to win." The hosts dissect Glenn's seemingly hesitant decision-making, comparing him to Brian Daboll's fearless, early-career gambles. While acknowledging that Justin Fields' poor play is a factor, they argue Glenn is not absolved from making "horrific decisions." The conversation quickly escalates into a "Harbaugh Watch," with Sal questioning whether the Jets should pull the plug on Glenn after one season if a known commodity like John Harbaugh unexpectedly becomes available. Plus, a quick look at the Jets' possible trade targets (Olave, Waddle) and a preview of the upcoming Yankees press conference with Boone and Cashman.
Giant expectations, Wide Receiver trade rumors, Anthony Volpe needed surgery, Cashman prepares to speak
BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over Mets President David Stearns' controversial staff choices, calling the hiring of "ultra-analytical" bench coach Kai Correa a clear "backstab" and a "warning shot" that puts manager Carlos Mendoza on "thin ice." They rip the organization's top-down, data-first philosophy, arguing it emasculates the manager and favors "nerds over ninjas." The focus then shifts to the Yankees as they question if Anthony Volpe's surgery is an "escape hatch" to cover up the club's development failures. The hosts also preview a "feisty" Cashman press conference, demand accountability for the position player mess, and weigh in on the Giants' trade rumors. The show wraps with a hilarious recap of BT's anxiety-ridden late-night TV experience and a deep-dive into MVP arguments and MLB stoppage fears.
Where is the Yankees GM? Will the Jets sell? Will the Giants add a receiver?
The Yankees' season wrapped in chaos, and the reactions were just as wild. Boomer slammed the starting pitching—except Cam Schlittler—while the offense vanished when it mattered most. A-Rod called the roster one of the worst ever, Jazz Chisholm bragged about winning the World Series then blew a key double play, and Judge shined but Vlad stole the spotlight. Fans flooded the lines, debating everything from Cashman's job to who should manage—some dreaming of Jeter, Mattingly, Girardi, Cone, and Randolph, others just pleading for hitters who can hit. Postgame drama included the Blue Jays' manager taunting “start spreading the news bitches,” Schlittler breaking down the clubhouse mood, and Volpe reflecting on a rough postseason. Across the hour, every Yankee misstep was dissected, from petty celebrations to coaching critiques, leaving fans angry, confused, and begging for a team reboot.
Yankees' season ends, and fans are furious. Cashman takes heat as A-Rod rips the roster, while Gio compares the team to a once-great ‘90s restaurant in need of a refresh. Boomer dreams of next year's pitching with Cole, Schmidt, Schlittler, Fried, and Rodon, but Gio insists offense rules today. Jazz, Vlad, and Ortiz enjoy the chaos, Turner finally delivers a 2-run single, and callers vent their frustration. Daboll talks Eagles and Aaron Glenn talks.
Jerry kicks off with Dave Sims' sigh as the Yankees season wraps. Stanton breaks down the series struggles, A-Rod blasts Cashman's roster moves, and Vlad and Ortiz are loving every “Daaaa Yankees lose” moment. Turner finally delivers with a 2-run single, while Daboll faces questions on Eagles' offense, and Glenn is thrilled about London.
BT and Sal dive into the New York Yankees' disappointing season post-mortem with legendary Yankees radio voice Suzyn Waldman. Following a Division Series loss at home to the rival Toronto Blue Jays, Waldman offers a fiery breakdown, arguing that the Yankees' early exit wasn't a surprise for those who were paying attention, citing a fundamentally flawed and unbalanced roster construction that the front office failed to address. She challenges the organization's adherence to its analytical philosophy, defending manager Aaron Boone while pointing to the front office's continued resistance to real change, leaving the franchise with its longest World Series drought in history and raising questions about the legacy of a superstar like Aaron Judge.
BT and Sal tear into the New York Yankees' early elimination from the playoffs, focusing on the team's abysmal offensive performance against the Toronto Blue Jays' bullpen. The discussion highlights the recurring problem of the Yankees' all-or-nothing, home run-dependent hitting philosophy ("mash or whiff") and a fundamental, organizational flaw that leads to repeated postseason failures. The hosts, particularly BT, express frustration that has become "desensitized" and predictable while Sal questions the team's construction which is "exposed" in a short series. The conversation also explores a psychological shift in sports fandom, questioning if it's better to root for a team's loss than for a win, given the high likelihood of disappointment, especially for a franchise now experiencing its longest World Series drought since 1903.

BT and Sal emphatically argued that Yankees fans, the New York media, and the public are taking the team's consistent success for granted. While acknowledging the "championship or bust" standard, they stressed that the Yankees routinely overcome roster flaws, injuries (like losing Cole and Soto), and the challenges of a long season to secure a playoff spot—an achievement their rivals, particularly the Mets, often fumble. They contend that the Yankees are one of the few constants in the city's sports landscape, and their ability to be "in the mix" every year, especially with Cashman's recent aggressive moves, deserves more respect and appreciation than it currently receives.

The Mets traded for Cedric Mullins and now have a real centerfielder. Terry McLaurin requested a trade from the Commanders. He wants a new contract.
Hour 3 - Regardless of what you think the Yankees are still in the hunt to make a run come October but it comes down to Brian Cashman and what he's able to do at the trade deadline.
