Podcast appearances and mentions of david bednar

Max Fried is headed back to the injured list with a recurrence of the left elbow bone bruise that already cost him more than two months, putting even more pressure on a Yankees roster that can't afford another major loss. Evan and Tiki debate which Yankees are now the most indispensable, with Ben Rice, David Bednar, Gerrit Cole and George Lombard Jr. all entering the conversation. Lombard's immediate defensive impact and the energy he has brought to the Yankees make a strong case for the top spot, while Bednar's dominance at the back end of the bullpen could make him even more important in close games. The hour also touches on the Jets' need to finally produce a top-half offense and Jose Iglesias returning to Citi Field to throw out the first pitch.

The Yankees' offensive struggles are putting enormous pressure on a bullpen that simply cannot get enough rest. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber explain why Fernando Cruz, David Bednar and the rest of the relief corps keep getting forced into meaningful innings, while the lineup's lack of aggression on the bases only adds to the frustration. The conversation then shifts to Jaxson Dart and the Giants' new offense. A caller questions whether Brian Daboll might have been better suited for Dart's development, but Shaun clarifies that his real concern is whether Matt Nagy will adapt the system to fit Dart if the offense struggles early.

MLB writer John Perrotto joined the show. John mentions that weird things always happen in the last hour before the end of the trade deadline, so he wouldn't be surprised if the Pirates go out and add more pieces. He also mentions that the Pirates next move should be a middle of the rotation starter. John thinks that trading David Bednar last year was a bad idea, considering the return in the deal. He says that there are very few right-handed bats available at this point, but mentions Heliot Ramos as a potential trade candidate that is still available.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner opens the show with a look back at a hot recent run before diving into a packed ten game Major League Baseball slate for Thursday, working from the early window through the night's final first pitch in Los Angeles. He starts with the Texas Rangers visiting the Tampa Bay Rays at 12:10 Eastern, where Cole Winn faces one of the game's most dominant arms in Shane McClanahan, and explains why he still finds value on a Tampa Bay team built to win at home even with a slightly bigger price than he would like. From there he moves to the Kansas City Royals at the Minnesota Twins, detailing how injuries to Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino have shaped his lean to the under, while questioning whether Bailey Ober can keep missing bats with modest velocity for his size. He covers the New York Yankees trip to face the Chicago White Sox and Sean Burke, pointing to sloppy recent losses and a red hot closer in David Bednar as reasons Chicago has yet to earn his trust as a home underdog. The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals get a full breakdown next, with Warner favoring Chicago's defense and approach over a Cardinals club he believes has overachieved and is due for a correction, even with Andre Pallante pitching well lately. He previews the Miami Marlins traveling to face the New York Mets, weighing a fresh Juan Soto injury and a taxing doubleheader against a Miami team trying to snap a long losing streak behind a talented young arm. The Pittsburgh Pirates at the Cincinnati Reds gets attention for a disrespected home underdog price and a hitter friendly ballpark that shapes his total lean, and the Washington Nationals at the Atlanta Braves becomes his headline play of the night, with Jake Irvin returning from injury and a shaky Washington bullpen pushing him firmly toward the over. He closes the game by game breakdown with the Seattle Mariners visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers, explaining why a difficult home run park and a pitcher who has struggled on the road push him toward a total that most books have set too low. Along the way Warner shares his season long track record, sitting comfortably in the green and chasing a higher unit total before the World Series, and details how listeners can save fifty dollars on his Major League Baseball Second Half All Access package using a promo code good for a limited time. The episode wraps with his single best bet of the day, a total play built around a Washington offense he expects to produce plenty of runs against an Atlanta pitching staff and bullpen he does not fully trust, closing out another edition of his daily baseball betting breakdown with the same discipline and record keeping that has defined his recent stretch of results.

The Pittsburgh Pirates finally moved on from Dennis Santana, designating the struggling reliever for assignment while acquiring Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres for $500,000 in international bonus pool space. It is a necessary bullpen change, but it cannot be Ben Cherington's final move before the MLB trade deadline. DiNardo and Tyler break down what the Pirates might see in Marinaccio, whether Pittsburgh can still be trusted to fix struggling pitchers, and why the decision to trade David Bednar looks even worse now. The guys also put the Pirates' difficult stretch into perspective. Despite several frustrating losses and an unreliable bullpen, Pittsburgh is 7 and 5 against the Braves, Brewers, Guardians and Yankees while remaining firmly in the National League Wild Card race. Plus, Spencer Horwitz is nearing a return, the roster decision that could follow, and a preview of an important home series against the Chicago Cubs. @eddiep_photos Download our app! : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northshorenine.app Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NORTHSHORENINE for $20 off your first order at https://www.seatgeek.com LIKE and SUBSCRIBE with NOTIFICATIONS ON if you enjoyed the show!

The Pittsburgh Pirates finally moved on from Dennis Santana, designating the struggling reliever for assignment after acquiring Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres for $500,000 in international bonus pool space. Anthony and Tyler break down what Marinaccio could offer, why the Pirates should have started churning through bullpen options months ago and how the decision to trade David Bednar looks even worse now.

Jerry starts with the only goal from the World Cup final. Ferran Torres, who scored the goal, is a good-looking young man. Zlatan Ibrahimovic said this is it for him on TV. Gio loved how blunt Ibrahimovic was. Jerry has a clip of Peter Schwartz calling an indoor football TD. David Bednar came into a jam and got out of it before pitching another inning to help the Yankees top the Dodgers. Francisco Lindor had three hits including a homerun in the Mets win over the Phillies. Ryan Fox sank the winning putt of the British open while fans screamed “Baba Booey” behind him.

Gio breaks down Bryson DeChambeau's penalty, calling it an attempt to gain an advantage rather than blatant cheating. Next, Jerry's update highlights Ferran Torres' lone World Cup final goal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's blunt farewell to TV, Peter Schwartz's indoor football call, and Rex Ryan being awestruck by Ella Langley. In baseball action, David Bednar escaped a jam to help the Yankees top the Dodgers despite Cam Schlittler's struggles, while Francisco Lindor powered the Mets past the Phillies, crediting Bo Bichette's preceding 11-pitch at-bat. Finally, Ryan Fox clinches the British Open amidst "Baba Booey" cheers, Jordan Clarkson de-escalates a nightclub situation to show why the Knicks wanted him back, and Boomer defends Anthony Volpe from a frustrated caller.

With Shaun Morash filling in for Evan Roberts, he and Tiki Barber debate the move that could redefine the Yankees' postseason outlook. Should New York chase ace Tarik Skubal, or pay an even steeper price for Mason Miller and build a dominant back end of the bullpen? Shaun and Tiki weigh the prospect cost, what Miller would mean for David Bednar, and why a controllable closer may offer more value than a short term starter. They also examine the Mets' deadline options, question the World Cup's afternoon scheduling in the United States, and bring back Posted and Toasted for another round of old coworker tweets.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether the Yankees should prioritize Mason Miller over Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline. With New York already built around a strong rotation, Shaun argues that adding baseball's most dominant reliever could have an even greater impact on a postseason run. They break down the massive prospect cost, the value of Miller's years of team control, and how his arrival would reshape the bullpen alongside David Bednar. The conversation also explores why an intimidating late inning weapon could give the Yankees a decisive advantage in October.

Hour 1: Is it time for the Pirates to take Mitch Keller out of the starting rotation? The guys debate if soccer players are soft. And Dom wants Crowley and Dorin to join him on his trip to Penn State this weekend.

Top prospect shortstop Joshua Kuroda-Grauer made a stunning major league debut for the Athletics, racking up three hits in his first game. Corey Pieper breaks down high-impact rookie promotions, crucial injury wire shifts, the daily Bullpen Report, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Roster adjustments are flooding the transaction wire as Tyler Soderstrom, Jacob Wilson, and Jeremy Pena are all headed to the injured list, while Addison Barger is shut down with a stress reaction. On the positive side, Hunter Greene is expected back this week, Tyler Glasnow has resumed throwing, Chase DeLauter is activated off the injured list, and Teoscar Hernandez returns to action while Ryan Ward hits the shelf. Roster managers must also track early game exits for Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Dane Myers following separate outfield collisions. A massive daily performance slate features Casey Mize striking out ten over seven one-hit frames, George Kirby fanning seven across eight strong innings, and Eduardo Rodriguez logging seven sharp frames. Offensively, Brandon Marsh launched two home runs, Endy Rodriguez smashed a grand slam, and Francisco Lindor, Esmerlyn Valdez, Cam Smith, Cole Young, and Heliot Ramos all left the yard, alongside stellar pitching lines from Sean Burke, Shane Baz, Trey Yesavage, Zebby Matthews, and Eric Lauer. On the negative side, Aaron Nola collapsed for seven earned runs in 4.1 innings, Braxton Ashcraft and Ryan Weathers combined to give up ten runs, Christian Walker went hitless, and frontline starters Sandy Alcantara and Gage Jump suffered heavy five-earned-run implosions. The daily Bullpen Report analyzes critical late-inning shifts across the league, tracking David Bednar heading to the paternity leave list, Gregory Soto handling duties for Pittsburgh, Garret Whitlock locking down a save for Boston amid Aroldis Chapman trade rumors, Trevor Megill staying locked in for Milwaukee alongside an eleven-win campaign for Aaron Ashby, Mason Barnett emerging for the Athletics, and a potential closer change for Paul Sewald.

Ben Cherington essentially said yesterday that the Pirates won't be making a trade anytime soon. This comes after Gregory Soto gave up a 3-run homer with the Reds down to their last strike two days ago. Poni thinks that trading David Bednar was one of Ben Cherington's worst moves as the GM of the Pirates. Cherington also said that the bullpen will turn it around and that they have been unlucky. Veteran baseball writer John Perrotto joined the show. John says that it males sense that there aren't a lot of teams that are ready to sell players yet, citing how the Red Sox just swept the Yankees and have to think twice about shipping off their bullpen arms. Perrotto disagrees with Cherington saying their bullpen is actually good, but does think that some of the Pirates' bullpen arms are good. John thinks that Aroldis Chapman would make sense for the Pirates if the Red Sox do decide to sell him. Donny Football Debrief – Former NFL running back Chris Johnson announced that he has been diagnosed with ALS.

Dylan Cease returns to the starting rotation today after missing more than two weeks with a left hamstring strain. Corey Pieper breaks down massive starting rotation reinforcements, critical late-inning shifts, the daily Bullpen Report, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Roster adjustments are arriving at a furious pace as Chris Bassitt and Jameson Taillon officially land on the injured list, J.P. Crawford faces a multi-week shelf stint with a hand contusion, and Garrett Whitlock makes his highly anticipated return to the mound. Fantasy managers also need to monitor the promotions of Denzer Guzman and Trey Mancini. Statcast data confirms immediate buying opportunities for Cristopher Sanchez following a dazzling ten-strikeout gem fueled by an elite 42% chase rate on his changeup, while underlying metrics warn managers to steer clear of Kyle Harrison after a devastating seven-earned-run implosion marked by a massive spike in hard-hit contact. For the Bullpen Report, we sort through crucial leverage hierarchies across the league, analyzing the current job security and performance of Ryan Helsley, Andres Munoz, David Bednar, Kirby Yates, and the high-stakes battle between Grant Taylor and Seranthony Dominguez.

With the Pirates in need of better bullpen pitching right now, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson review the trade that sent CP David Bednar to the New York Yankees last season.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a wild night across New York sports, where the Mets survived one of the strangest games of the season, the Yankees pulled out a tense comeback win, and Knicks fans turned their attention to a huge Eastern Conference finals matchup. The guys debate whether the Mets' youth movement is real or just a hot streak, how much trust Yankee fans should have in David Bednar, why Jazz Chisholm's magic pants might be working, and what the Knicks must do to handle Cleveland's offensive firepower.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a loaded night for New York sports, with the Mets pulling out a chaotic extra innings win, the Yankees surviving a tense finish against Toronto, and Knicks fans counting down to a massive Eastern Conference finals game. The conversation centers on whether the Mets' recent surge is something real or simply a fun hot streak, why their young players have made the team more watchable, and how much trust Yankee fans should place in David Bednar after another high wire ninth inning.

The Yankees have some concerns with David Bednar. How can this be fixed? And are Mets fans back to believing in their team? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Subway Series ended with a shocker, as the Mets pulled off the kind of ninth inning comeback their fans had been conditioned not to expect. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Tyrone Taylor's stunning homer, the empty seats at Citi Field, and the rare feeling of the Mets actually delivering a magical late game moment. The guys also break down why the loss should worry Yankees fans beyond just one ugly afternoon. David Bednar's latest collapse, Austin Wells' growing struggles, Aaron Judge's quiet series, and a rough road trip all become part of a bigger conversation about a Yankees team that is still in good shape but suddenly has real problems to solve.

Chris McMonigle is NOT happy as he breaks down a nightmare Subway Series finale in which David Bednar blows a ninth-inning save before the Mets take it in extra innings.

Up 6-3 with two outs in the ninth should be a win you file away and forget. Instead, the Yankees turn it into a 7-6, 10-inning walk-off loss to the Mets, and we're left staring at the same uncomfortable question: how can a team with playoff goals look so helpless late in games?I break down the 2026 Yankees bullpen meltdown, starting with why the closer situation feels fundamentally broken. David Bednar's latest blown lead isn't treated like a one-off mistake, it's the clearest example of a bullpen with zero dependable arms and no clean path to the final outs. From there, I zoom out to the bigger roster-building problem and why patching relief pitching from the scrap heap keeps coming back to bite New York.Then I get into the stuff that drives fans crazy in extra innings: the ghost runner on second, the inability to get a bunt down, and a lineup that too often swings like it's home run or nothing. I also talk bluntly about the bottom of the order, including Austin Wells at catcher and Ryan McMahon at third base, and what it means when multiple spots feel like automatic outs in high-leverage spots. The trade deadline is coming, and “it's only May” stops working when it's getting late early.If you're fed up, you're not alone.

Cam Schlittler is making Yankees starts feel like appointments, and his Subway Series performance against the Mets is the latest reason why. I break down how he cruises through a hostile road environment, gives up only two hits and one run, and still manages to strike out Juan Soto twice. The box score is great, but the bigger story is the pattern: Schlittler keeps repeating dominance, and it's starting to look like the early shape of a Cy Young season.I dig into what makes him different right now: a fastball-first approach that should not work this well in modern MLB, paired with elite command, a ridiculous strikeout-to-walk profile, and the confidence to attack hitters instead of pitching scared. I also talk about why this feels so rare for the Yankees, a franchise that often buys pitching but doesn't always develop a true homegrown star starter, and what it means when a young arm elevates in big spots.Then I move through the rest of the Yankees night with quick, honest takes: Jazz Chisholm finally finding results at the plate while playing strong second base, why Cody Bellinger's contact and versatility keep paying off, Ben Rice continuing to mash, and why the ninth inning remains a problem with David Bednar and the broader bullpen. If you care about the Yankees rotation, roster construction, and what actually wins tight games, this one is for you.

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss the Giants trading Patrick Bailey to Cleveland for a prospect and a draft pick, the Guardians' love of poor-hitting catchers, Carlos Correa's season-ending surgery, whether the Astros can turn things around, the Diamondbacks shaking up their outfield by calling up Ryan  Waldschmidt and trading Alek Thomas to the Dodgers, the Mets calling up A.J. Ewing, and the Marlins promoting Robby Snelling.Listener question topics include what to expect from the TIgers moving forward, which starting pitchers the Cubs could target at the deadline, and if David Bednar is good enough to stick as the Yankees' closer.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: What is the one move you would make to improve the Pirates/Penguins/Steelers? Joe would tell Aaron Rodgers he is not coming back to the Steelers. The Steelers have to develop their young quarterbacks. Joe would acquire a left-handed starter. Austin would trade for David Bednar. Should the Penguins run it back with the Big 3? Steelers fans share what moves they would make.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Matt Clement: Dennis Santana has a strikeout pitch and has as many blown saves as saves. Do you have confidence in Santana as their closer?

Fantasy Baseball Live! – April 12, 2026 @ 3 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.The White Sox listened to our podcast on Friday, as it's being reported that Noah Shultz will be called up to start Tuesday against the Rays. I've already put my Hot Prospects of the Week in place and wrote three paragraphs about Shultz before the game. In sum, I'm not convinced his control problems are behind him. What say you?a.Will you be starting him on Tuesday if he gets the call?2.David Bednar is one of the funks runs given up in four of his five last games, with a blown save yesterday and another loss on Wednesday. If you were to handcuff, who would it be?3.Ranger Suarez had a good outing yesterday, and his early-season jitters are hopefully behind him. 4.Tatsuya Imai with another brutal outing. That's two bad and one good. I hope to put out a baseballsavant breakdown videocast on him as I've done a thorough analysis of what the data is telling me.5.Adley Rutschman hits the IL with ankle inflammation. Is there anything worth picking up here?a.Wyatt Langford appears to have only suffered a small quad injury and can hopefully avoid the IL. But maybe he should spend 10 days on it, finding his swing.6.Both Riley Greene and Julio Rodriguez finally did something after we chastised them on Friday. I think we should give these players some kind of bonus, since it always seems that after we criticize them, they perform well. What say you?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

Every moment that a closer is on the mound makes for something of a hot seat, so for David Bednar, sitting down for an interview with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for the New York Yankees Official Podcast was hardly a challenge worth noting. But still, the Yankees' closer, who came over in a deadline deal last year, prefers to do his talking on the field. Quiet and mild-tempered, yet quick to laugh, Bednar has been a force out of the bullpen for his new team, and he chats with Schwartz about leaving his hometown squad to pitch for a winner, rising from the depths of the MLB Draft's 35th round and pitching for Team USA in the last two World Baseball Classics. Plus, YES Network's Meredith Marakovits chats with Jon about the first week of the season, the weather forecasts in the Bronx and much, much more. Lastly, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator gets us ready for the home opener with stories about Yankees who hit two blasts in their season debuts.
