Podcast appearances and mentions of David Stearns

The Mets' trade-deadline bloodbath puts the finishing touch on one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the massive sell-off, why moving the expiring contracts made sense and why the Luke Weaver trade remains the most troubling decision. With the bullpen gutted, Evan proposes an unexpected new role for Kodai Senga while questioning whether David Stearns can turn a collection of lottery-ticket prospects into a quick turnaround.

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo record the latest episode of The Mets Pod live after the MLB Trade Deadline, with full reaction to all the moves made by the Mets leading up to it. Connor and Joe break down the deals, and do a full analysis of the prospect return for the Mets in exchange for Clay Holmes, Freddy Peralta, Huascar Brazoban, Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, A.J. Minter and more.  The guys also react to comments earlier in the evening from Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns, and do an early preview of Joe's all-new Top 30 Mets Prospects List, which looks a lot different with many new names in the mix.

C-Lo's first update of the day starts with the newest Yankee, Luis Garcia Jr, homering in his first game as a Yankee. The Yanks were down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and then lost. Brian Cashman was asked about Judge and when he's coming back. David Stearns talked about why they kept Luis Robert Jr.

Gio kicks off by obsessing over the Rocket City Trash Pandas' deformed raccoon promotion before complaining about his wife designing her own birthday cake and picking out her own gift. C-Lo returns with an update on newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his debut, President Trump referencing the Yankees and NIL, and David Stearns addressing the Mets' deadline trades. Plus, Aaron Rodgers joins Pat McAfee to call out ESPN over the Dianna Russini/Mike Vrabel situation and take a shot at Tom Brady, leading Gio to wonder if Rodgers' wife is A.I. Finally, Gio questions why McAfee's show won't touch the Russini/Vrabel story, arguing ESPN seems confused about its own identity.

With Boomer out today, it's Gio & Jerry starting with the MLB trade deadline: what the Yankees got, what they didn't, and whether it signals anything about the returns of Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton, alongside all the players the Mets traded away. C-Lo steps in for Jerry for his first update, leading with newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his first game as a Yankee—though the Yanks went down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and lost. Plus, Brian Cashman addresses when Judge is coming back, David Stearns explains why they kept Luis Robert Jr., and a caller in the final segment points out that the Red Sox and Rays acquired catchers, which is exactly what the Yankees needed.

Since it's the final episode before the Baseball Bar-B-Cast Trade Deadline live show, we had to welcome ESPN Senior Baseball Reporter Jeff Passan to discuss all the potential deals that might—or might not—go down. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman chat with Jeff about whether Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is likely to be on the move, why he'd love to see him stay in the Motor City and whether anyone can stop the Los Angeles Dodgers from acquiring him.

David Stearns refuses to directly confirm that Francisco Lindor is part of the Mets' future, and Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash hear a clear message: Stearns wants him gone. Evan Roberts initially interprets the answer as reassurance, then questions whether his Mets fandom is affecting what he hears. They debate whether a Lindor trade is more likely in the offseason and warn that moving a recent MVP candidate without a major return would be a crushing mistake.

LeBron James is heading to Philadelphia, and the stunning decision immediately changes the Knicks' path through the Eastern Conference. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash react to LeBron joining Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey, debate whether the Sixers are now New York's biggest threat, and explain why this move puts LeBron's legacy on the line. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts. Evan and Shaun also restore the full context behind Bryce Harper's viral comments about the Mets, turning outrage into an indictment of how David Stearns dismantled the team's identity. Harper's praise for Don Mattingly sparks another debate over whether Carlos Beltran or Albert Pujols is the type of former star the Mets need as their next manager. Plus, a Giants fan delivers a fired-up prediction about the defense under Jim Harbaugh, with an unexpected landscaping lesson along the way.

Bryce Harper's viral comments about the Mets sound insulting until the full context reveals something far more damaging. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash explain why Harper was actually showing respect for the rivalry while accurately criticizing how the Mets lost their identity after moving on from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo. Harper's praise for Don Mattingly also sparks a major debate about the Mets' next manager. Could Carlos Beltran or Albert Pujols command more respect from stars like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto because they understand the pressure of performing in New York? Plus, a Giants fan predicts a top-10 defense under improved coaching and argues that Deonte Banks could finally reach his potential.

The Mets current homestand is their last homestand ahead of the trade deadline. Pat McCarthy had a chance to sit down with Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns to discuss the trade deadline, what David sees in the current team, and what he would like to do with the roster to set it up for success in the future.

They debate the legitimacy of a potential shortened 2027 MLB season and the Mets' strategy under David Stearns. The conversation shifts to the Yankees' trade needs, Keith Hernandez's critique of Mets first base defense, and a heated argument regarding Jose Caballero's response to pitch clock violations. 02:00 - MLB 2027 Lockout Predictions 05:55 - Stearns' Mets Strategy 10:22 - Yankees' Zach Neto Trade Talk 15:53 - Keith Hernandez on First Base 22:15 - Joe Benigno Catchphrase Tribute 27:05 - Jets Practice Facility Rumors 30:12 - Jose Caballero Pitch Clock Controversy 45:48 - Trading Gerrit Cole for Bats

The MLB trade deadline is the time when a team can bolster its roster for a potential World Series run and also upgrade its future. While we never know what might happen by the August 4 deadline, we do know that there are quite a few names floating around who could be impact makers for a team hoping to be the last club standing in October. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman preview the upcoming trade deadline, including whether the Detroit Tigers will actually trade ace Tarik Skubal and whether the San Diego Padres, despite still being in the Wild Card race, will ship out their flamethrowing closer, Mason Miller. They also examine whether a hitter better than the San Francisco Giants' Luis Arráez will be moved and how many postseason-caliber starting pitchers will be acquired. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan make their picks for which teams will be the most aggressive this trade season, either by buying or selling, and which teams will have to make the difficult decision to stand pat with the roster they have. They also explain why the New York Mets' David Stearns might be the most critical figure at this deadline and discuss the one big piece the Washington Nationals must decide whether to keep or trade away.   1:28 - The Opener: MLB trade deadline preview 7:28 - Will Tigers trade Skubal? 18:50 - Postseason-caliber starting pitchers on the move 30:34 - The best hitter moved will be... 38:05 - Will Padres trade Miller? 43:46 - Most compelling teams this deadline 53:34 - Big seller Mets 58:13 - Will the Nationals sell?

On the 410th episode of You Know I'm Right, hosts Nick Durst and Joe Calabrese are joined by Survivor's Hoboken Mike Turner, to discuss:- First app he checks everyday- Born and raised in Hoboken, New Jersey- Rank his favorite local spots Benny Tudino's (pizza), 10th and Willow (burgers), Black Bear, M&P's, Vito's.- Becoming a firefighter in 1985, rising through the ranks and being a retired Battalion Chief Officer after 27 years of service- Can he put out the fire at Citi Field that David Stearns has lit?- Being the owner of RUG DRx, a rug cleaning and repair business- Why did he want to go on Survivor? What was the audition process like?- Hardest part about being on Survivor?- How did life change once the show aired?- You Know I'm Right moment

Freddy Peralta's miserable return to Milwaukee leaves Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash stunned by his postgame admission that he does not know what is wrong. After another rough outing, the hosts argue that David Stearns cannot be protected by the idea that nobody could have predicted the deal failing. He gets credit when moves work, and he deserves the blame when they become disasters. The conversation also shifts to the Cowboys, where Evan makes an early declaration that Dallas will win the NFC East if its rebuilt defense can become merely respectable. Plus, the return of the offseason game “New Team, Who Dis” produces an immediate miss, and Aaron Boone's vague update on Giancarlo Stanton creates even more uncertainty for the Yankees.

Cinco de Luncho returns with the five things Shaun Morash cannot stand for another minute this summer. The Mets have become exhausting, wildfire smoke keeps threatening the Northeast, fast-food complaints are out of control and Danhausen's overused gimmick has officially reached its breaking point. Plus, a caller challenges David Stearns' lack of playing experience, sparking a debate over whether the Mets need more former players like Carlos Beltran influencing baseball decisions.

Jazz Chisholm's latest power surge has Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees cannot afford to move him before the trade deadline. His inconsistency remains maddening, but his production in high-leverage moments gives the lineup an October weapon it desperately needs. The debate turns to Luis Arraez, where he would play, and whether the Yankees should sacrifice defense by moving Jazz around the diamond. Uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton makes the deadline even more complicated, while Jose Caballero continues to strengthen his case for more playing time over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta's brutal return to Milwaukee leads to harsh criticism of David Stearns, and Evan delivers an early NFC East prediction that the Dallas Cowboys will win the division.

Gio opens with a rough night for David Stearns as Freddy Peralta flopped in Milwaukee, while Boomer thinks the Mets should trade an unhappy Francisco Lindor. Jerry drops his first update on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s two homers in a Yankees win over the Pirates, a tame benches-clearing incident, and Jazz's supreme confidence. With local storms approaching, Gio admits he wants to see a tornado, prompting a chat on golfing in severe weather, followed by Peralta's confusion over his season-long struggles. Meanwhile, Rich Paul says LeBron James won't rush his decision, though Gio predicts a Miami move for year-round golf, and the hour wraps with a wild 2001 Good Day New York clip featuring a heated on-air feud.

The Freddy Peralta trade has failed, and the Mets may now face the humiliating possibility of sending him straight back to Milwaukee. Evan Roberts argues that New York must ignore the awful optics and accept the best available return, even if it comes from the Brewers, while questions grow about whether David Stearns can be trusted to clean up the mess. Evan also predicts Peralta will deliver his best start as a Met in his emotional return to Milwaukee, potentially making it his final appearance with New York. Then the conversation turns to the most Mets possibility imaginable: trading Peralta just days before fans are scheduled to receive his bobblehead at Citi Field.

Guest co-host Kevin Chapman joins the show to discuss whether the Mets are so bad that they've become the Jets. Also, we assess Andy Green's tenure as Interim Manager, if David Stearns should become an ex-POBO, and if there is a path to optimism for next season. Join us! #Mets #LGM

David Stearns winning a World Series with the Mets before Brian Cashman captures another with the Yankees sounds outrageous, but Shaun Morash lays out why it could happen. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, who immediately pushes back on the prediction and questions whether Stearns will spend aggressively enough or find the right players. Shaun points to Cashman's uncertain timeline, Aaron Judge's closing championship window and Steve Cohen's financial power as reasons the balance of New York baseball could shift. Shaun and Tiki also examine Jaxson Dart's reckless playing style, Jameis Winston's value as a short-term backup, Malachi Fields' massive catch radius and the Giants' rebuilt defense. Plus, they debate soccer's stoppage-time drama, react to LeBron James avoiding questions about his future, review Netflix's The Hawk and confront whether Giancarlo Stanton's postseason heroics can outweigh years of unavailability if the Yankees never win a championship.

Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and he believes David Stearns could win a World Series with the Mets before Brian Cashman captures another with the Yankees. Shaun points to Steve Cohen's willingness to spend and Cashman's shrinking championship window, while Tiki questions whether Stearns will make the aggressive long-term moves needed to finish the job. Shaun and Tiki also examine Jaxson Dart's reckless playing style, the Giants' new-look defense and Malachi Fields' potential impact. Plus, they debate which sport produces the world's best athletes and whether soccer's stoppage-time drama is a feature or a flaw.

Hour 3: David Stearns doesn't regret letting Pete Alonso walk and why Tommy is not losing confidence in the Yankees making the World Series. The best trade deadline approach for the Yankees and Mets bright spots.

The Yankees are chasing Tampa Bay, but does a rivalry with the Rays generate any real emotion? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate why the matchup lacks the atmosphere, history and intensity of the Yankees battles with Boston, Baltimore and Toronto. The conversation also examines whether the Yankees should replace Austin Wells, how Anthony Volpe should be used and why one misleading statistic fails to tell the full story. Plus, the Mets face questions about Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and David Stearns, while the Knicks weigh the value of Mitchell Robinson and the future dominance of Victor Wembanyama.

The Yankees may already have their best shortstop on the roster, but are they willing to admit it? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Jose Caballero has surpassed Anthony Volpe and why the organization remains committed to a former top prospect after thousands of plate appearances. The conversation also turns to the Mets and the difficult decisions surrounding Bo Bichette, David Stearns and a disappointing season. Plus, the guys react to Jalen Brunson undergoing surgery on his right forearm and wrist, what his recovery means for the Knicks and why some early season rest could ultimately benefit their star guard.

Jalen Brunson is facing a two month recovery after surgery on his right forearm and wrist, but should Knicks fans be worried? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why the timing may actually benefit Brunson and create opportunities for the rest of the roster. The guys also revisit their old soccer opinions, debate the pressure facing host nations and examine the growing frustration surrounding the Mets. They break down the failed Freddy Peralta trade and explain why Steve Cohen may keep David Stearns despite a disastrous season.

Boomer & Gio react to Steve Cohen's recent comments about the Mets on a podcast. Plus, Mitchell Robinson is headed to the Celtics and who will land LeBron James? Boomer and Gio on Team USA's latest World Cup win; former Mets hitting coach Eric Chavez criticizes David Stearns; what are the Mets' managerial options for 2027? And is Aaron Glenn the favorite to lose his job first?

The hour starts with one of Jerry's patented quizzes - this time about US history since, you know, 250 and all that. C-Lo pops in with all the headlines and oddities. But we end the hour talking about the plight of the Mets and David Stearns who has to be on the hottest of seats right now.

Gordon does not like soccer at all, branding it a "terrible first draft" of a sport! Meanwhile, the New York baseball scene is in an absolute tabloid freefall: Mets owner Steve Cohen just nuked his own clubhouse by exposing toxic star feuds and a regressed farm system under David Stearns, while the bleeding Yankees are unmasked as lesser without Aaron Judge to save them. Add in a wild clash over Metallica versus the Beach Boys and a sneaky holiday prank caller who catches the hosts completely off-guard, and you've got a chaotic hour of radio that proves the holiday weekend drama is already off the rails!

Filling in for Boomer & Gio on a wild pre-July 4th show, Jerry and Gordon kick things off by tackling the reigning champion Knicks freezing out a 41-year-old LeBron James, Jaylen Brown's Twitch meltdown over being shipped to Philly, Uruguay's stranded World Cup squad, and Taylor Swift's upcoming 10-hour MSG "wedding" spectacle. The holiday chaos rolls on as Gordon brands soccer a "terrible first draft," the Yankees bleed without Aaron Judge, and Steve Cohen nukes the Mets' clubhouse, all unfolding alongside a Metallica vs. Beach Boys debate, a sneaky prank caller, Jerry's US history quiz, and C-Lo's headlines. Finally, MLB Network's Robert Flores confirms a explosive Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor feud that puts David Stearns on the ultimate hot seat, capping off a chaotic broadcast where Gordon begs for elite Twitter status and furious callers reject aging superstars to declare New York Jalen Brunson's town.

Shaun is in for Tiki as Evan Roberts takes the temperature of New York baseball, with the Yankees in a seven game skid and fans debating whether Aaron Boone's clock is getting dangerously close to midnight. The hour captures the panic, frustration, and fair questions around Boone, Brian Cashman, Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice, and a bullpen that keeps putting the Yankees in trouble. The Mets conversation is just as heated after Steve Cohen speaks openly about the state of the franchise, David Stearns' future, and the past tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. From Yankees urgency to Mets uncertainty, Evan and Shaun dig into a messy moment for both teams and the pressure building across the city.

Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash dig into the growing frustration around the Yankees and whether Aaron Boone's seat is becoming a real conversation. As the losing streak builds and the pressure rises, they debate whether calling for a managerial change is fair or just fan panic. The conversation also turns to Steve Cohen's comments on accountability, David Stearns' future with the Mets, and a wide ranging mix of New York sports talk. From Aaron Hernandez name debates to Nets trade questions and Jaylen Brown's massive contract, the episode captures a chaotic day of calls, criticism, and classic sports radio arguments.

Shaun is in for Tiki as Evan Roberts keeps the New York baseball conversation rolling with frustrated Yankee fans calling in on Cody Bellinger, the pitching staff, Aaron Boone, Camilo Doval, and the team's growing lack of urgency. The Yankees may still have hope because of the state of the American League, but the concern around their slide is getting harder to ignore. The Mets side brings more reaction to Steve Cohen's interview, including questions about Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, David Stearns, and whether major changes should be on the table. Evan and Shaun also mix in caller debates, a bizarre Blue Jays border story, and a look at the key moments that helped sink the Yankees in another painful loss.

Evan Roberts reacts to Steve Cohen's unusually candid comments about the state of the Mets. Cohen admits the franchise has fallen short, backs David Stearns while leaving room for evaluation, and opens the door to bigger questions about where the organization is headed. Evan and Shaun dig into Cohen's acknowledgment of past tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, what it means for the clubhouse, and why the answer created even more drama. They also debate whether firing Stearns would be a smart reset or a dangerous sign of organizational chaos for a franchise still searching for sustained success.

The Yankees are in full crisis mode after a brutal offensive stretch, mounting injuries, and growing concern over whether this team is built to survive the summer. Shaun Morash sounds the alarm on a lineup that has gone historically cold and a fan base that is running out of patience. From Cam Schlittler showing signs of trouble to uncertainty around Aaron Judge's return, the conversation digs into why this feels bigger than a typical June swoon. The episode also touches on Steve Cohen backing David Stearns, Mets frustration, and why both New York baseball teams are facing major questions.
