The snow is coming, the temperatures are dropping, and Dan Fox and Frank Knight are hunkering down for the “Snowstorm Edition” of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, Season 7, Episode 20, the Mike Schmidt episode. With Alan “Action” Jackson back on the mic (and loudly declaring he's not going anywhere), the crew opens with storm talk, model debates (American vs. European), and the real plan for survival: groceries stocked, a fireplace going, and a playlist full of podcast episodes. They also react to the show's sudden listener surge, downloads are up, but the email inbox is still empty, which leads to the usual mix of confusion, sarcasm, and friendly harassment.From there, the show pivots into baseball hot stove season, because apparently winter weather requires Mets news. Frank breaks down the Mets' aggressive trade for Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta, acknowledging the price tag was steep: top prospects Jet Williams and Brandon Sproat shipped out for what could be a one-year rental. The crew debates whether it's worth it unless the Mets make a deep postseason run, while also noting how Milwaukee continues to master the “sell high, restock, stay competitive” model. The Mets' retooling continues with the trade for White Sox outfielder Luis Robert, a plus defender with speed who adds pressure on the bases, even if the bat hasn't fully returned to peak form. The conversation also touches on position changes and risk: Bo Bichette shifting to third, Polanco possibly moving to first, and the broader question of whether the Mets are building a contender or just rearranging the chessboard. A rumor about clubhouse political tension causing a rift surfaces, and the crew agrees that if it's true, it's a disappointing reason to break up a roster.The Yankees get their moment as well, with Alan celebrating New York re-signing Cody Bellinger—calling it a must-have move, praising his glove and clutch value, and approving the Yankees drawing the line before the seven-year demand. From there, the episode shifts into the NFL coaching carousel: the Giants landing John Harbaugh is treated as the marquee hire, with Alan arguing the Giants did the only smart thing, don't let him leave the building, pay him, and give him control. Stefanski to Atlanta sparks debate, including a blunt reaction to media criticism and a larger discussion about how much of a coach's success depends on what the franchise actually gives him to work with. The crew then runs through other hires and head-scratchers: Jesse Minter in Baltimore (with skepticism about “coaching trees”), Jeff Hafley to Miami (with questions about whether the résumé holds up without elite personnel), and Robert Saleh to Tennessee (with cautious optimism if Cam Ward develops and the situation is less of a tire fire than the Jets).A particularly chaotic moment hits when the group tries to explain why the Bills would even interview Philip Rivers for a head coaching job—leading to a side argument about Rivers' religion and the “he has a lot of kids” stereotype, before resetting and admitting it still doesn't make much football sense. The episode wraps with a classic Fox Brothers Alarms transition: updated “palatial basement” studio renovations, the company's services, contact info, and a renewed plea for listeners to actually send emails, because 280 downloads and zero messages feels personal.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the best point in the podcast at which to talk transactions, how a salary cap would affect the kind of conversations we have about baseball (based on the way we discuss other sports), the notion that a particular signing would drive owners to pursue a salary cap, and (25:09) whether a fielder’s proclivity for diving catches tells us anything about how good he is (inspired by the belief that Andruw Jones never had to dive). Then (44:32) they break down the latest Mets moves (for Luis Robert Jr. and Freddy Peralta), the team’s extreme makeover, and why the Brewers dealt Peralta, plus (1:29:08) the Yankees’ Cody Bellinger deal, their lack of roster turnover, and Belli’s up-down-up career.

The guys circle back to an emailed question they missed and finally explain the Cody Bellinger contract debate. If the Mets offered Kyle Tucker four years and $160M, why not offer Bellinger the same? The answer comes down to age, value, and how the Mets view Tucker compared to Bellinger, plus the sense that Bellinger's market was basically the Yankees. Then it's time for the weekly highlight reel: “Idiots With Idioms,” where everyone gets roasted for mangling phrases, mixing metaphors, and inventing brand new sayings on live radio. Add in storm chatter affecting schedules and travel, and the hour closes with Championship Sunday picks and updated playoff standings, including the big debates around Patriots at Broncos and Rams at Seahawks.

The wait is finally over! Cody Bellinger is a New York Yankee again! He signed back with the Yankees on a 5-year, $162.5 million deal with a few opt-outs, a no-trade clause, and a $20 million signing bonus. We react to the deal and how it will impact the Yankees next season. We also discuss the other trades and signings around the league and how they can shape the Yankees moving into pitchers and catchers in a few weeks. What do you think of the Cody Bellinger contract?

Hour 2 starts with the crew wrapping up their MLB Free Agency Bingo board, with only one final name left on the list and plenty of laughs at who nailed predictions like Cody Bellinger and who completely whiffed. Then the conversation shifts into the big-picture question: what do Vegas win totals say about the Yankees and Mets right now, and do those numbers match reality? Evan explains why he would have been far more comfortable paying a premium for an elite like Tarik Skubal than a “really good” Freddy Peralta, and why the “five-inning pitcher” label matters when you are giving up top prospects. Calls pour in debating whether the Mets should push Peralta deeper into games, whether an extension is actually possible, and whether this whole plan is a smart year-to-year build or just living on rentals. Plus: a wild Jets caller tries to “grease the wheels” for a Josh Allen fantasy, the guys roast the sad state of Jets fandom, and a fan checks in with life updates that send the show down an unexpectedly funny path. And to close the hour, the crew dives into pronunciation chaos, including a pitcher clarifying how to actually say his name, and a Drury joke that deserved better timing.

The final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with baseball, football, and classic New York sports banter. Evan and Tiki react to a whirlwind MLB offseason, including the Mets' aggressive moves for Freddy Peralta, Luis Robert Jr., and Bo Bichette, and debate whether Peralta is a risky rental or a long-term building block. The Yankees' decision to retain Cody Bellinger sparks further discussion about roster construction and championship expectations in a Dodgers-dominated league.

It's late January, almost every MLB domino has fallen, and the crew pulls out the Free Agency Bingo board to see who actually knew what they were talking about. They relive the Cody Bellinger call, admit who got played, and set the stage for the final remaining free agent while arguing about whether trades should even count in the game. Then Evan doubles down on the biggest Mets debate: why paying a premium for “really good” Freddy Peralta is not the same as paying up for a true monster like Tarik Skubal. The “five-inning pitcher” label gets thrown on the table, the Peralta vs Skubal comparison heats up, and the Mets' long-term plan gets questioned again. Plus, the phones go sideways. A Jets caller tries to “grease the wheels” for a Josh Allen trade fantasy, the guys roast how dark it has gotten for Jets fans, and a caller checks in with a life update, a joke, and a Mets reality check that turns into a full-blown offseason therapy session.

Today's show has big shift in New York baseball as the Mets transform their rotation with Freddy Peralta and welcome Bo Bichette to Queens, while the Yankees finally provide some relief by re-signing Cody Bellinger. We dive deep into the Knicks' historic 54-point demolition of the Nets and their future, Terry Pegula's disastrous Bills press conference, and the "celebration injury" conspiracy surrounding Bo Nix that puts Jarrett Stidham in the driver's seat for Denver. Plus, we react to Boomer falling for an AI-generated photo of Shaun Morash, a looming weekend snowstorm, and a Harbaugh "hatchet job" in the Giants' front office that has fans buzzing.

The Mets' rotation gets a major facelift with Freddy Peralta and intro Bo Bichette, while the Yankees finally make a move to retain Cody Bellinger. Jerry's here covering the Knicks' historic demolition of the Nets and Terry Pegula's rough day at the podium. Your calls too.

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:

The Mets finally trade for Luis Robert Jr. and the Yankees finally sign Cody Bellinger. It's a good day in New York sports.... right? Wrong... These two teams have done the bare minimum to keep afloat this offseason. Neither team is better. There's a rumor going around that the OC job with Eagles is extremely unwanted. Where the rumor came from? It comes from the fact that no one is interviewing for it! Plus, Carlos Beltran gets his ticket to the hall of fame. $20 million dollars is that direct deposit or in a big check? Do you think Bo Bichette is walking around with his big ass signing bonus? Plus, another edition of What the F*** Wednesday! The biggest game of the Nets season may be the biggest game of the Knicks season as well. Lock it up; Knicks are going to beat the Nets tonight. It's not panic mode for the Knicks just yet and of course Yankees hot stove.

Episode 134 of Tablesetters is a live reaction episode examining how teams across Major League Baseball are balancing urgency, flexibility, and long-term thinking. We open in Queens, where the New York Mets respond to missing out on Kyle Tucker by leaning into short-term upside. That approach begins with the signing of Bo Bichette to a three year, $126 million contract and continues with the trade for Luis Robert Jr., adding contact ability, athleticism, and volatility to the lineup. The week culminates with the Mets acquiring Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Milwaukee Brewers, giving New York a legitimate top of the rotation starter and much needed innings stability. We break down why Peralta's durability, strikeout profile, and contract value made him the right target despite the significant prospect cost and competitive balance tax impact. From there, we shift to the Bronx, where the New York Yankees re sign Cody Bellinger to a five year, $162.5 million deal. We discuss the structure of the contract, the opt outs, and why Bellinger's 2025 performance made him a stabilizing fit for a roster already operating deep into the luxury tax. We close with legacy, as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones are elected to the Hall of Fame. The discussion centers on how very different career paths, one defined by longevity and completeness and the other by historic defensive dominance, ultimately arrive at the same destination. Steve and Devin connect market behavior, roster construction, and long-term planning across a league that continues to operate on multiple timelines at once. ⚾️ One episode, three timelines. The present, the future, and the history that frames them.

The crew can’t agree on today’s biggest headline. Half the show wants to debate whether Steph Curry’s championship window is officially closing, while the other half is locked in on the Yankees bringing back Cody Bellinger. Also, Stugotz wants to get to the bottom of a radio beef between Peter Rosenberg and Michael Kay. Who is the best sports media point guard of all-time?

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down a wild day in New York sports. The Yankees finally re-sign Cody Bellinger to a five-year deal, bringing relief to Bronx fans after a quiet offseason. The Mets pivot with a Luis Robert Jr. trade, signaling that Cody was never headed to Queens and raising questions about David Stearns' long-term philosophy. Plus, Giants fans continue to buzz after John Harbaugh's official introduction as head coach, Knicks fans grow uneasy amid a slump, and Evan explains why the Yankees could actually be better in 2026 despite the lack of splashy moves. All that and more on WFAN's Evan & Tiki.

Big Mac storms in with a brutal comp, calling the Mets' Luis Robert Jr. trade the “Anthony Volpi” of moves, and the debate takes off from there. Why are Mets fans still fighting over the offseason, while Yankees fans are somehow… calm? The crew breaks down what the Robert Jr. deal signals about Cody Bellinger, why the Yankees' quiet winter has fans stuck in limbo, and why one announcement could flip the entire New York baseball mood overnight. Then it pivots hard to the Knicks, and the questions get louder: effort, energy, body language, and whether this looks like a team drifting from its coach. From Josh Hart's late-night TV appearance to the bigger issue of urgency, chemistry, and buy-in, the conversation turns into a real temperature check with CP “The Franchise” on what's actually happening and what (if anything) can fix it fast before things get ugly.

Breaking news out of the Bronx as Cody Bellinger is officially re-signing with the New York Yankees. We react in real time to what this move means for the Yankees lineup, the balance of the roster, and how it impacts their plans heading into the season. Is this the stabilizing bat the Yankees needed, or just the first domino in a bigger offseason picture? We break down the contract implications, lineup fit, and how Bellinger's return reshapes expectations in the AL.

As Cody Bellinger edges closer to re-signing with the New York Yankees, we unpack why this move feels more like relief than celebration for Yankee fans. After months of leaked contract numbers, missed backup plans, and a quiet offseason, the expectations in the Bronx have clearly shifted. We discuss how the market dried up, why the Yankees backed themselves into needing Bellinger's bat, and how the bar slowly got lowered from blockbuster dreams to simply “being set.” Plus, an honest look at how the Yankees could still improve without a flashy offseason, relying on internal growth, healthier pitching, and year-two impact from deadline additions. It's a reality check on the Yankees' winter, the psychology of fan expectations, and why January optimism looks very different than it did in November.

The Mets finally pull the trigger on the move they've been circling for what feels like forever, landing Luis Robert Jr. and immediately reshaping the conversation around their lineup. Evan, Tiki, and Shaun break down why the deal makes sense even with the obvious red flags: recent struggles, durability concerns, and the price tag. They debate the upside of a true change of scenery in New York, what Robert's defense means for a team that badly needed real center field stability, and why this is a low risk swing with potentially massive reward. Plus, the ripple effect: where does this leave the Mets in the Cody Bellinger chase, and why Yankees fans might be feeling more confident today than they did yesterday as the staredown with Scott Boras continues. The hour also touches on growing buzz around the Giants, adding another major New York storyline to a packed opening segment.

The Mets finally make the move everyone assumed would never happen, acquiring Luis Robert Jr. and forcing a hard look at what this roster is really becoming. Evan, Tiki, and Shaun debate why the trade makes sense defensively, why the upside is real despite two rough seasons, and why the only true risk might be financial. The conversation turns into a deeper breakdown of David Stearns' long term vision, the famous “painting” analogy, and whether this lineup is better, worse, or just wildly different after losing Pete Alonso and reshaping the middle of the field. They dive into Robert's change of scenery potential, the Mets' desperate need for a real center fielder, and how bad last year's production truly was at that spot. Plus, the ripple effect on the Cody Bellinger sweepstakes, why the Mets likely have a short term offer out, and why Yankees fans may feel more confident as the staredown with Scott Boras continues. The big question remains: when you squint at this roster, is the picture starting to come together or does it still feel unfinished?

The Mets landed Luis Robert Jr. Does that mean they're out on Cody Bellinger? Maybe not. Plus, Mel Kiper Jr. has his first mock draft out and has the Jets taking a QB in round one. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
