The conversation takes a sharp turn from today's Mets news into a bigger baseball legacy debate. Evan makes the case that Carlos Beltran has been unfairly defined by one moment, even though he was clutch and deserves Cooperstown. From there, the discussion spills into Andruw Jones and whether his defense alone should make him a Hall of Famer, with Evan calling him the best defensive center fielder he's ever seen and the phones lighting up immediately. Then it gets heated with the cheating and Hall of Fame standards argument. Beltran's Astros ties spark a broader debate about what counts, what doesn't, and why certain players get judged differently than others. The segment ends with a funny detour into real life chaos, then pivots back to the NFL with major coordinator chatter.

Bengals news: Paul Dehner Jr.'s recent reporting suggests that, even after missing the playoffs for a third straight season and finishing with a 4-10 record, the Bengals are unlikely to make sweeping changes at the top of the football operations or coaching hierarchy. Internally, both Duke Tobin and Zac Taylor are expected to remain with the team heading into the 2026 season rather than being dismissed. A key reason for this continuity is Tobin's deeply rooted relationship with Bengals ownership. Dehner notes that Tobin—officially titled Director of Player Personnel but functioning as the de facto general manager—is regarded almost as part of the family by owner Mike Brown and the broader leadership structure. Because of this, ownership reportedly has no internal inclination to fire Tobin, even amid external pressure and fan frustration. Taylor's situation is similar in that his contractual status strongly favors retention. Dehner explains that Taylor is under contract through the 2027 season due to an additional extension that was not widely publicized at the time. Because the Bengals rarely fire head coaches with multiple years left on their deals, and given Taylor's history leading the team to a Super Bowl and consecutive AFC Championship Games earlier in his tenure, his job is viewed as relatively secure. In short, Dehner's reporting paints a picture of ownership favoring stability and loyalty over dramatic change, even in the face of poor on-field results and vocal calls from the fan base for a reset. Both Tobin and Taylor are therefore expected to stay put for the foreseeable future. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).
