Podcast appearances and mentions of Freddy Peralta

Sal Licata is back from vacation and he needs a break from his vacation. Sal is finding it harder and harder to get excited about things like the Mets announcing Freddy Peralta is the opening day starter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ron Darling's blunt assessment of the rotation. With six healthy starters, is it finally time to stop building around Cody Singer and lock into a traditional five-man plan? The guys break down the risk of a six-man rotation, how it could cost Nolan McClain and Freddy Peralta valuable starts, and why Carlos Mendoza has a season-defining decision to make before Opening Day. Evan also pushes his favorite compromise: a “tag team” piggyback strategy that could maximize depth while protecting arms. Then spring training drama hits. Cardinals broadcasters call out Juan Soto for not running out a pop-up, and Evan and Tiki go at it over whether hustle even matters in March. Is it lazy optics, smart injury prevention, or fake outrage from a meaningless game in Jupiter? Plus, a quick look at Clay Holmes' development, pitchers experimenting with new stuff, and why nothing you see right now should cause panic… yet.

It starts with the Mets, and Ron Darling absolutely bringing the hammer down on how the rotation should be handled. With six healthy starters, Evan and Tiki debate the five-man vs six-man dilemma, whether the Mets should stop “building around” Cody Singer, and how Mendoza can keep everyone on schedule without costing Nolan McClain or Freddy Peralta starts. Plus, Evan pitches his favorite spring solution: the “tag team/piggyback” approach to steal innings, protect arms, and keep the season plan flexible. Clay Holmes, new pitches, and spring training experimentation all get the microscope. Then it turns into a spring training etiquette war after Cardinals radio broadcasters go at Juan Soto for not running out a pop-up. Is it lazy, smart, or completely meaningless in March? Evan and Tiki argue the hypocrisy, the injury risk, and whether this stuff ever matters when the games count. Next, Chris Carino drops a take so wild it derails the segment: Devin Williams gives up a homer on his first pitch as a Met and suddenly gets hit with a “Ben Simmons” comparison. Evan recoils, Tiki debates it, and the conversation turns into a mix of Mets panic, Yankees baggage, and the reality of relievers trying new stuff in spring training.

Then it turns into a classic call-driven ride: Giants free agency and cap reality (it is not “infinite money”), the challenge of projecting college tackles to NFL guard, and how a roster can look “vastly different” just by letting free agents walk. Plus, the chaos keeps rolling with more on the Aaron Glenn combine clip (yes, we're still doing the eyes debate), an NFL news detour with David Montgomery landing with the Texans, and a quick Knicks temperature check on ceiling vs floor basketball. It wraps with Mets Opening Day drama: Freddy Peralta vs Nolan McClain, the “respect vs hype” argument, and a ridiculous Citi Field first pitch temperature prediction battle. Also, Shaun Morash catching strays, as usual.

C-Lo starts with the sounds of that Knicks win. We heard our own Jerry Recco on the call as Rutgers beat Maryland by 4 on the road. Matthew Schaefer scored again as the Islanders beat the Panthers. Boomer wanted Nolan McLean to start opening day for the Mets instead of Freddy Peralta.

We were hoping Nolan McClain. Also, is Jerry into the World Baseball Classic.

A caller reminds Boomer that his grandkids are destined to be lifelong Islanders fans. The Freddy Peralta versus Nolan McLean debate and World Baseball Classic. C-Lo has Ty Simpson on Glenn & Reich, Ron Darling's stories of bar mitzvahs, Phil Simms and exotic animals, and Jameis Winston at an IndyCar race. The Moment of the Day features a former New Yorker singing "Cool Names" followed by a final debate on the McLean vs. Paul Skenes we won't get.

Gio's out one more day, so Boomer and Jerry open with the Knicks' dominant defensive win over the Spurs at MSG before C-Lo checks in with the highlights. Also, Jerry's call of a big Rutgers road win over Maryland, Matthew Schaefer's scoring streak for Isles, Boomer reacts to the Mets choosing Freddy Peralta as the Opening Day starter. Finally, Jerry's trip to Maryland, where he tracked down Boomer's plaque and swapped stories with his former classmates.

Boomer and Jerry open the show with the Knicks' defensive win over the Spurs before C-Lo highlights a Rutgers road victory and an Islanders win where Matthew Schaefer earned Wayne Gretzky comparisons. The NFL Draft talk follows with a look at the Jets' quarterback needs. We also discuss the undefeated UConn women's season. After a call from a former homeless listener in Florida, the conversation shifts to Giants draft targets, an SNL clip featuring Jack Hughes, and Kevin Willard's memories of working under Rick Pitino. Plus, Boomer's divided Rangers-Islanders family, the Mets' decision to start Freddy Peralta on Opening Day over Nolan McLean, and Ron Darling's wild stories of attending bar mitzvahs. We even talk the World Baseball Classic.

He's tough, kind, funny—and he keeps winning. Two-time NL Manager of the Year Pat Murphy joins Kelley Franco on The Three Inning Fan to talk David Stearns' style, the Freddy Peralta trade, and how the Brewers thrive with a fraction of the payroll. Can Milwaukee keep beating the odds? Murphy opens up about leadership, small-market success, and the road that brought him here—with humility that may surprise you.*Music by Podington Bear

After the free-agency frenzy that saw Kyle Tucker shockingly go to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bo Bichette signing with the New York Mets and Cody Bellinger opting to run it back with the New York Yankees, teams are starting to look more and more set for the 2026 season. However, there is still plenty of time for teams to do some last-minute shopping to bulk up before Opening Day.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman make their choices for the one thing that every team needs from now until Game One of the season. Could the Dodgers push all of their chips in to go for a three-peat and trade for Tarik Skubal? Will the Yankees have a resolution on what to do with Jasson Domínguez amid their crowded outfield? Who could the Mets trade away from their rotation after acquiring Freddy Peralta?Later, Jordan and Jake react to the breaking Minnesota Twins news after they parted ways with President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey at this point in the offseason. They then make their picks for this week's The Good, The Bad and the Uggla, which includes Alex Honnold maybe taking a shot at Garrett Crochet and the history that landed Aaron Judge in the Bronx.2:36 – AL East16:50 – AL Central30:54 – AL West37:13 – NL East50:23 – NL Central1:01:05 – NL West1:08:28 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

A new Giants OC curveball hits when Art Stapleton floats Tanner Engstrom as a legitimate candidate after his Jets exit, citing his coaching ties and the idea that he may have been doomed by the Jets' quarterback situation. Evan and Tiki debate whether a fresh start with Jaxson Dart could unlock something different, even if Engstrom's first run as a coordinator didn't exactly inspire confidence. It quickly turns into a bigger point about trusting John Harbaugh, and the hilarious reality that Engstrom becoming competent in New York would only add another chapter to the “Jets ruin everyone” narrative. Then the show takes a sharp left into the station's internal soap opera as Tommy's group chat presence, late-night takes, and “who stole whose idea” drama becomes its own mini-segment, complete with receipts and a little friendly sabotage speculation. After that, the Mets portion arrives: Freddy Peralta meets the media and gets asked about an extension, and the crew reads between the lines. The instant “I just got here” framing tells the story, he's not eager to talk long-term yet, and it doesn't sound like something that's happening soon from either side. The segment closes with WFAN audio gold, including the rediscovery of the John Heyman blow-up clip and a new Clyde Frazier drop that instantly earns a spot in the rotation.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): The biggest pitcher moved this offseason was none other than Freddy Peralta, who got shipped to the Mets, which is why we wanted to call on Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline to give us the what's what when it came to the Brewers return for the starting pitcher, along with some talk on the other intriguing prospects in the Mets system.

Jerry's here with reaction from Cooper Kupp about the Seahawks going to the Super Bowl. The Mets are introducing Freddy Peralta today and David Wright asks fans to be patient with the process. Rangers fans can be happy that their team beat the Bruins.

Reports are out there that Frank Reich is nearing a role on the Jets' offensive staff—a move Boomer Esiason warns is a "three-year process". David Stearns prepares to introduce Freddy Peralta as the Mets' new ace. Meanwhile, the Super Bowl stage is set for a showdown between Sam Darnold's Seahawks and Drake Maye's Patriots.

The Jets' coaching staff is taking shape with Frank Reich likely joining the ranks, sparking a heated debate over whether Kyler Murray, Malik Willis, or even Deshaun Watson will be the one to lead his offense. The Mets welcome Freddy Peralta while manager Carlos Mendoza addresses rumors of a rift between stars Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. From the Rangers' dramatic overtime victory to the looming dread of life after football season—and even the threat of a Yellowstone supervolcano—we cover a lot of stuff and laugh as well.

Fantasy Baseball Live – January 25, 2026 – 3:00pmMicrosoft TeamsSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Braves get bad news this week as Ha-Seong Kim suffered a hand injury and will miss at least the first half of the season. Are the Braves really going to battle with Mauricio Dubon at shortstop?a.If so, how much does his value increase?2.The White Sox finally trade Luis Roberts – moving him to the Mets IF/OF Luisangel Acuna and RHP Truman Pauleya.The deal felt a little light for me, but maybe Roberts is more famous than good, posting a sub .300 OBP the last two seasons. He did steal 33 bases in 2025. i.Does this give him a new lease with a chance to produce the 38-20 season he did in 2023, or was that just an outlier?ii.Acuna is slated to start in center field and if true, I'm assuming his draft value goes up?1.Stat line for 2026: AB, HR, SB, and BAiii.Let's compare the Mets lineup to the Dodgers.3.The Mets also acquired Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Brewers for SS Jett Williams and RHP Brandon Sproat.a.WOW – huge trade as the Brewers once again move an ace pitcher with one more year of team control. However, unlike their 2024 deal to the Orioles for Corbin Burnes, they get two high-end prospects. Thoughts on the deal?b.Does Sproat start the season in the Brewers rotation? If not, when do you see him up?c.How long until Williams is in Milwaukee to either play shortstop or center field?4.The Rangers acquired MacKenzie Gore for five prospects – SS Gavin Fein, RHP Alejandro Rosario, 1B Abimelec Ortiz, SS Devin Fitz-Gerald, and OF Yeremy Cabreraa.This one is a quantity deal for the Nationals as only Ortiz is near-ready for the big leagues. What do you think of the deal?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the NL WestLos Angeles Dodgers1.Andy Pages is a divisive player coming into 2026. He looked pretty good during the season, but in the playoffs, he was awful. He's the 29th outfielder off the board. Too high, too low, or just right?2.Does Dalton Rushing get enough at-bats to be rostered in 2026? His ADP is 403 (27th round).3.Hyesong Kim didn't play much last season, but is penciled into the starting second base position entering the 2026 season. Over/Under 30 home runs/stolen bases in 2026?a.His ADP is 443 – 39th second baseman off the board.4.One fallout of the Edwin Diaz signing is that Roki Sasaki will not start the season as the closer. He's listed as the Dodgers' 6th starter. He's the 79th pitcher off the board; let's call it a Top 60 pitcher. Does that feel good to you? Too high, too low?a.We will look at other pitchers going around where his is going.5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)San Diego Padres1.Jackson Merrill – 2026 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BA2.Ramon Laureano finally broke the stigma of not being able to hit right-handed pitching.

Paul and Justin discuss the two big pitchers deals featuring MacKenzie Gore and Freddy Peralta before starting their SS preview Source

The Mets have completely turned their offseason around with a busy week. Boomer and Gio react to the blockbuster Freddy Peralta trade and how fans have changed their tone on David Stearns, while Craig Carton rips any fans who still don't like the offseason. Plus, Evan Roberts reveals his concerns about the deal, and reacts to the Luis Robert Jr. trade.

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.

What an absolute mess that end of season press conference was. Pegula and Beane blaming McDermott for failed picks. Blaming McDermott for the playoff blues. Wow. (18:53) Cody Bellinger is back with the Yankees! All that for nothing. All the mystery teams and interest, and he re-signs for the same offer that was on the table. (25:50) The Mets did it again. David Stearns made a trade for a starter. Freddy Peralta. The Brewers, last season's best regular season team, got two of the top 5 prospects in the Mets farm system. (36:00) Review: Song Sung Blue. (39:07) The Rays are looking for a new home. They are looking to scoop up land of a former community college. Let's discuss. (46:30) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices.

Before we get to the tiers, the Mets are back at it! This time they acquired Freddy Peralta from the Brewers (2:30). ... The Brewers got Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat in return (10:14). ... First up we have the elite and near-elite tiers at second base (21:20). ... Luke Keaschall is a polarizing player in the next best things tier (30:09). ... Should Jackson Holliday be higher than the last resorts tier (42:18). ... Hey, shortstop has a first-rounders tier (54:17). ... Should Zach Neto be higher than the near-elite tier (1:00:00)? ... Willy Adames and Dansby Swanson would be totally fine fallback options in a deeper league (1:13:34).
