With the wonderful sounds of spring training filling the air in Arizona and Florida, there have already been a few unfortunate injuries that have knocked out several top MLB stars from getting their work in.

Francisco Lindor's hamate surgery puts the Mets on the clock, with Opening Day looming and no guarantees he will be ready in time. As the team insists patience is the priority, Carlos Mendoza finally names the emergency shortstop options if Lindor needs extra time. That opens the door to a bigger debate. Should the Mets turn back to a familiar face and bring back Jose Iglesias on a short term deal? We break down the internal options, the long term plan for Ronny Mauricio, and why a simple stopgap move might make the most sense if Lindor misses the first week or two.
Francisco Lindor's surgery timeline has Mets fans doing calendar math as Opening Day approaches. If he is not ready, Carlos Mendoza finally lays out the emergency shortstop options, and we ask the obvious question: why not just bring back Jose Iglesias on a low-risk deal? Plus: a caller's looming 2027 lockout fears, a winter classic edition of “Cinco de Luncho” ranking New York teams closest to a title, and a new MLB rule aimed at keeping base coaches in the box to curb sign-stealing angles.
Join David (@dgofman.bsky.social) and Greg (@greghoogkamp) as they sort through all the Spring Training news including some last minute signings and a lot of injury notes. The guys spend the bulk of the show discussing the most interesting and exciting position, shortstop, at the major league level.Shortstops discussed: Bobby Witt Jr., Elly De La Cruz, Gunnar Henderson, Zach Neto, Francisco Lindor, Trea Turner, CJ Abrams, Corey Seager, Mookie Betts, Geraldo Perdomo, Colson Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, Ezequiel Tovar, Carlos Correa, Masyn Winn, Jeremy Pena, Nasim Nunez, Otto Lopez

The show opens with three major stories that broke after the show ended the night before. The Knicks suffer a brutal overtime loss to an undermanned Pacers team, Francisco Lindor's hamate bone injury raises concerns about Opening Day and lingering power issues, and the Mets announce a surprising positional shift for Juan Soto from right field to left field on the eve of spring training. Evan and Tiki debate which storyline actually matters most, why the Soto move makes sense on the field but feels strange in timing and messaging, and how the World Baseball Classic factors into both conversations. Plus, fan calls, injury comparisons around baseball, and why Lindor's situation could linger far longer than the Knicks loss or Soto's defensive switch.
The discussion opens with how MLB teams handle injury timelines and expectations. David Stearns insists the Mets expect Francisco Lindor to be ready for Opening Day, while other organizations take a much more conservative approach. The guys compare Lindor's situation to Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday, whose season will start late after surgery, with Orioles GM Mike Elias flatly ruling him out for Opening Day. Is this honesty, gamesmanship, or simply different philosophies on setting expectations? From there, the conversation shifts to the Knicks and the growing backlash against Karl-Anthony Towns. Why has he become the ultimate lightning rod, and why did even the MSG broadcast turn on him? With pointed criticism from Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier, the segment breaks down the nonstop complaining, bad fouls, and whether Towns needs to play more physically to change the narrative.
Cinco de Luncho delivers a full football breakdown as the guys rank the five best veteran quarterback options for the New York Jets heading into 2026. From off-the-wall trade ideas to realistic stopgap solutions, the list sparks debate about upside, durability, and whether the Jets are actually a decent landing spot for a veteran passer. Names like Tyson Bagent, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, Deshaun Watson, and Mac Jones are all dissected, with arguments over ceiling versus floor and whether copying the Sam Darnold revival model is the smartest path forward. The segment also turns light and chaotic, from smoothie reveals and Cinco history tracking to callers roasting Shaun over his Brian Cashman wardrobe takes. It wraps with Mets talk as the crew predicts when Francisco Lindor will return from hamate surgery and when he will launch his first home run of the season. Classic Cinco energy with equal parts football theory, New York sports chaos, and laughs.
In Hour 2, the conversation starts with how teams across MLB handle injury timelines and expectations. David Stearns says the Mets expect Francisco Lindor to be ready for Opening Day, while other organizations take a far more cautious tone. The guys compare Lindor's situation to Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday, and debate whether honesty or optimism is the better approach, including comments from Orioles GM Mike Elias. Then the focus shifts to the Knicks and the growing frustration around Karl-Anthony Towns. Why has he become such a lightning rod for criticism, and why did even the MSG broadcast turn on him? With clips and reactions from Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier, the discussion breaks down the complaints, the fouls, and whether KAT needs to change how he plays and carries himself on the court.
Francisco Lindor is in jeopardy of missing Opening Day and Juan Soto is switching positions. How confident are you in these Mets? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The New York Mets offseason takes a brutal turn. On the Carton Show, Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to shocking news that Francisco Lindor may need hamate surgery and could miss Opening Day plus the Mets announcing Juan Soto will be their starting LEFT FIELDER. Was this even the plan? Carton unloads on the Mets' front office, questions the timing, and wonders if the season is already spiraling before spring training even starts. Mets fans are NOT going to like this.
Things get even messier for the New York Mets. Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle dive deeper into the Juan Soto position change, Francisco Lindor's injury concerns, and the wild report that Bad Bunny offered to pay for Lindor's World Baseball Classic insurance — only for the Mets to say no. Carton unloads on the Mets, questions the front office logic, and goes on a legendary rant about insurance, money, and why this whole situation makes no sense. Mets fans brace yourselves.
What starts as a serious breakdown of Francisco Lindor's hand injury timeline quickly spirals into absolute chaos. Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle debate Mets injury recoveries, compare Lindor to Alvarez, and then everything goes off the rails — migraines, lights turned off in the studio, fake Todd Hundley fallout, and nonstop Carton Show comedy. Sports talk meets pure radio madness on WFAN.
