Baker Mayfield just got paid — Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down every angle of his stunning new deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Five days before kickoff in Cincinnati, the quarterback who swore he was done negotiating got a call from the Bucs' front office and agreed to a three-year, $165 million extension through 2029 that lands him right in the Stafford-Lawrence-Allen tier of starting quarterbacks. Rick and Steve unpack how the deal is structured, why cooler heads prevailed after Baker's training-camp "disrespectful offer" comments, and why the real pressure starts now — Baker has just one playoff win as a Buc, and it's time for the wins to start piling up if he wants to be remembered for more than the paycheck.Then it's over to the Rays, who took game one in Atlanta 7-1 behind a strong start from Freddy Peralta and a monster night from the lineup: Junior Caminero's AL-leading 39th home run (in his literal hometown), Chandler Simpson's 40th stolen base, and homers from Yandy Diaz, Richie Palacios and Liam Hicks. Tampa Bay's magic number is down to 15 with an 18-games to play with a four-game lead over the Yankees, even as Taylor Walls heads to the IL. Plus: the NFL season finally kicks off tonight with a rematch of last year's Super Bowl, LSU's wild standoff with the SEC over roster rules, and Jameis Winston's new (and very self-aware) commercial.In this episode:Baker Mayfield's 3-year, $165M extension — deal structure, market comparisons, and what it means going forwardWhy Rick says the winning has to start now for BakerRays 7-1 win over the Braves: Caminero's homecoming homer, Simpson's 40-steal milestone, Peralta's hot streakTampa Bay's magic number, AL East lead, and where the Rays rank across MLBTaylor Walls to the IL, and how the Jorge Mateo pickup is paying offNFL Kickoff Night: Patriots-Seahawks previewLSU vs. the SEC: fallout from a wild roster showdownJameis Winston's DoorDash ad and his broadcasting future#TampaBayBucs #BakerMayfield #TampaBayRays #NFL #MLB Hosted on Acast.

Sam & Tim take calls from Rays fans who are growing increasingly nervous after Tampa Bay has given teams like the Red Sox and Rangers reason to believe they can stay alive in the playoff race. The guys discuss Shane McClanahan landing on the IL and why Freddy Peralta needs to be a major part of the Rays' rotation moving forward. Then they debate who their third starter would be if everyone were healthy — and both Tim and Sam ultimately lean toward Peralta.

The Tampa Bay Rays have now lost 10 straight games at Globe Life Field after being shut out 6-0, and Nick Wize is officially worried as the Rays' AL East lead has shrunk to just three games. Tim Barnard takes a more cautious approach, wanting to see how the rest of the series plays out before sounding the alarm. Plus, with one game to win, Nick and Tim debate a crucial question: Shane McClanahan or Freddy Peralta?

Nick Wize and Tim Barnard pack another edition of The Nick Wize Show with plenty of Tampa Bay sports talk, starting with bold Buccaneers “Don't Be Surprised If…” predictions and listener takes before discussing David Walker hype and Nick's cautious approach to overwhelmingly positive camp reports. The guys then turn to the Rays, breaking down their struggles at Globe Life Field, debating Freddy Peralta vs. Shane McClanahan, and asking where Tampa's attention should be this weekend. Plus, it's 10 Minutes of Football with season-record predictions for Florida, Florida State and USF, the first “Nick's Picks” of the college football season, and a look ahead to the biggest storylines Nick and Tim expect to be talking about on Tuesday.

Nick Wize continues reading Tampa Bay's “Don't Be Surprised If…” predictions, including one listener calling David Walker a potential steal for the Buccaneers. But Nick pumps the brakes, pointing out that nearly all of the training camp reports have focused on the positives—and he wants to hear about the negatives before buying in completely. Then, the conversation shifts to the Rays and the question of who Tampa Bay fans should trust more: Freddy Peralta or Shane McClanahan?

Malik Nabers' Week 1 status is suddenly a major concern for the Giants. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and Tiki remains convinced Nabers is unlikely to face the Cowboys as the star receiver works through the physical and mental hurdles of his recovery. Even if Nabers plays, expectations for his workload need to come down as the Giants prepare to lean on their run game and Jaxson Dart. The Yankees may have found an October fixture in Spencer Jones. His growth into a complete hitter has Shaun and Tiki arguing that Aaron Boone cannot push him aside when Aaron Judge returns, especially with Trent Grisham slipping. Plus, Freddy Peralta's strong outing after the Mets moved him adds another frustrating twist to his New York story.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick recap today's media avail with Bucs GM Jason Light, who revealed the call to make Jalen Daniels the number two quarterback was essentially made before he ever took a preseason snap — how quickly he absorbed the offense in practice sealed it, and his comeback wins over the Jets and Chiefs only confirmed it. Rick and Steve dig into just how rare, and risky, this is: undrafted rookie quarterbacks have started only 0.5% of possible games over the last decade, going a combined 10-19, and the move says as much about how unimpressed the Bucs were with the still-unsigned Jake Browning as it does about their faith in Daniels. They also cover the day's brutal roster churn — undrafted linebacker Caden Fordham made the 53, then was released hours later to open a spot for cornerback Kevin Knowles (claimed off waivers from the Chiefs), while pass rusher Jack Pyron, who'd racked up two sacks in the preseason finale alone and looked like their best defensive standout in camp, got scooped up by Kansas City. Plus, Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan sat out a bonus practice (nothing to worry about, per the team), and Rick previews a potential shootout at Cincinnati against Joe Burrow, teasing — again — the "weaker than you'd think" position group he'll finally reveal tomorrow.Then the Rays cruised past the Mets behind a strong start from Freddy Peralta, who shook off a leadoff homer to his old team's Francisco Lindor and settled in from there, allowing just two more hits. Tampa Bay's offense keeps rolling — Yandy Diaz, Chandler Simpson, Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda all sit among the AL's top nine hitters, and the Rays' team batting average leads all of baseball, four points better than the Dodgers and 11 points better than the next-closest AL club. Their magic number is down to 11 for a playoff spot and 20 to clinch the AL East, with the Yankees lead sitting around four and a half to five and a half games depending on how New York's late West Coast game with the newly-sold Angels shakes out.

Here are five TKras-style titles leaning into the Rays' recent success and the question of whether Freddy Peralta has unlocked something since arriving in Tampa Bay. Peralta just delivered six innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts against the Mets, retiring the final 13 batters he faced.

Freddy Peralta has given the Rays two straight outstanding starts, and Nick Wize is starting to get excited — with one major warning. Nick and Tim debate how much we can take from Peralta's recent success before seeing him face a legitimate playoff contender, before turning their attention to Patrick Zalupski's vision of making the Rays one of MLB's biggest spenders. Nick wants the investment in the roster, but asks the uncomfortable question: if player spending goes up, are Rays fans willing to spend more at the ballpark, too?

It is a Waechter Wednesday on the Pat and Aaron Show and Doug is breaking down Freddy Peralta's awesome start and what can help with Clevinger!

Nick Wize and Tim Barnard cover a loaded Wednesday edition of The Nick Wize Show, reacting to Todd Bowles naming inside linebacker as the Buccaneers' deepest position group, discussing the latest with Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan, and breaking down Caden Fordham's surprising 24-hour journey from making the 53-man roster to being released. The guys also tackle their 2026 college football predictions for the most overrated and underrated teams, National Champion, Coach of the Year and Heisman winner, play College Football Price Is Right with The Drive producer Chris Mathis, and welcome Bucs radio voice Tony Castricone to discuss Week 1, injuries and Tampa Bay's roster. Plus, Nick and Tim debate Freddy Peralta's recent dominance, Patrick Zalupski's plans to make the Rays a bigger-spending franchise, whether fans will pay more for that investment, Richard Sherman's belief that the Bucs could run away with the NFC South, and some of the most forgettable player-team combinations in NFL history.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down the newly finalized Buccaneers practice squad, headlined by two familiar-feeling additions. Veteran quarterback Easton Stick — turning 31 on September 15 — joins as Jalon Daniels' new mentor and emergency QB3, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Zach Robinson, who worked him out as a pre-draft coach back when Stick was piling up a 49-3 record and four national championships at North Dakota State. Rick explains why the Bucs wanted a steady veteran voice in the quarterback room over another developmental arm, and why Stick — who's barely played in six NFL seasons behind Justin Herbert and later with Robinson in Atlanta — won out over re-signing Connor Bazelak. They also welcome back cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, a key piece of the 2020 Super Bowl run (three postseason interceptions, including a momentum-swinging one in Green Bay), who brings much-needed experience to a young, thin secondary. Rick runs down the rest of the practice squad additions before previewing the two-week runway to the opener at Cincinnati, teasing — but not yet revealing — an area he thinks the Bucs could unexpectedly struggle.Then it's over to the Rays, whose wild week came back to earth with a 3-2 loss to the Mets Monday night, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs late. Rick and Steve also revisit the controversial catch-that-wasn't-quite-a-catch from the Padres series over the weekend, still unable to find a rule that explains how a ball secured in the glove for two steps became a home run when it popped out at the wall. Tampa Bay's lead over the Yankees is down to four games with 25 left to play, and they set up tonight's rematch with Freddy Peralta getting a shot at revenge against the Mets team that drafted and developed him. Plus, Aaron Donald's stunning $20 million comeback with the Rams, and an early look at the Lightning's revamped roster ahead of training camp. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Mets season has made it to September and ahead of the middle game against the Rays Andy Green met with Keith Raad to discuss call-up Nick Morabito and what he brings to the team along with going up against a familiar foe in Freddy Peralta.

Reporting from Jacksonville, Rick Stroud relays the scary moment nobody around the Bucs wanted to see — Rueben Bain Jr. missing practice with a sprained AC joint, though Rick notes the lack of any real treatment on the field is a good sign he'll be ready for Cincinnati. Rick and Steve also dig into an eyebrow-raising development at quarterback: with Baker Mayfield and Trevor Lawrence getting the bulk of the joint-practice reps, it was Jalon Daniels — not veteran Jake Browning — taking the number two snaps, and Rick walks back some of his own skepticism about whether the undrafted rookie has already locked down the backup job. Plus, Tristan Wirfs is back in pads and looking like himself, which both hosts agree makes him the best player on the roster.They also break down the massive stadium news on deck — Tampa's city council voting today and Hillsborough County following Friday on the Rays' new ballpark — along with a tour of Jacksonville's chaotic, crane-filled Everbank Stadium construction site ahead of the season opener there. On the field, Freddy Peralta was brilliant in a two-hit shutout as the Rays took two of three from Detroit, and Rick and Steve close with reaction to the Jed York police bodycam video.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler close out the daily run of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full Friday MLB card and a look ahead to football season. At 0:10 Manji frames the show as the final daily episode for the year, and at 1:18 Essler reflects on a season that swung from hot to cold before settling in the positive, adding that he cashed a client winner the night before. At 1:56 Manji thanks the audience for riding out a near daily schedule and confirms he and Essler will still team up at least twice a week once football season begins. The card opens at 3:27 with the headline matchup of the day, Chris Sale against Jacob Misiorowski as the Braves visit the Brewers with a rare six run total on the board. At 4:10 Essler leans toward Milwaukee for the full game on bullpen strength while still praising Sale, and at 5:13 Manji prefers an under look through five innings paired with the Brewers on the money line. At 7:00 the pair turns to Boston hosting San Francisco, where Sonny Gray opposes Logan Webb. Essler at 7:15 likes the under and the Giants on the run line off Webb's consistency, and Manji at 8:30 backs the under with Gray's strong home and night splits. At 9:31 Freddy Peralta faces Trevor Rogers as the Rays visit Baltimore, with Essler at 9:56 siding with the Orioles given Peralta's recent familiarity with this lineup, and Manji at 11:11 adding Peralta's rough road and night splits. At 12:17 Troy Melton takes on Noah Cameron as the Tigers visit Kansas City, with Essler at 12:41 backing Detroit after Cameron's grueling prior start, and Manji at 13:29 reinforcing the pick with Melton's dominant road numbers. At 15:07 Nick Lodolo opposes Eduardo Rodriguez in Cincinnati and Arizona, a matchup both hosts admit they rarely get right, with Essler at 15:10 wary of laying a heavy price on Rodriguez and Manji at 17:12 flagging fatigue after a heavy recent workload. At 18:49 Matthew Boyd and the Cubs visit Emerson Hancock and the Mariners, with Essler at 19:16 siding with Seattle's bullpen and Manji at 20:58 eyeing a Cubs team total angle instead. Essler at 22:49 races through the rest of the slate, touching on Washington, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Bubba Chandler and the Pirates, Reid Detmers and MacKenzie Gore in the Angels and Rangers game, a wary look at Hayden Wesneski and the Astros, and a Twins and Padres line that has moved firmly toward Minnesota's Connor Prielipp despite public tickets piling onto San Diego's Randy Vasquez. With the baseball card finished, Essler at 26:58 names the Rams over eleven and a half wins as his favorite NFL win total, pointing to a loaded roster and head coach Sean McVay, while Manji at 28:24 counters with the Vikings over eight and a half, betting on a bounce back year from Kyler Murray under Kevin O'Connell and a friendly home schedule. On the under side, Essler at 30:23 fades the Packers over a suspect secondary and a difficult slate, and Manji at 33:07 takes the Eagles under ten and a half, citing another new offensive coordinator working with Jalen Hurts. The season's final best bets arrive late, with Essler at 37:14 backing the Blue Jays to score over two and a half runs against Cam Schlittler and the Yankees, and Manji at 38:30 closing the year with the Tigers on the money line behind Melton against Cameron and the Royals. Before signing off at 43:07, the hosts preview a busy football stretch ahead, including a new Dream Pod with RJ and a season long props pod with Sleepy, and Manji thanks the show's record keeper, Kelvin, for another season of tracking results.

Freddy Peralta may have left behind an unexpected Mets legacy by helping Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor work through their lingering tension. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the report that Peralta arranged a private conversation between the two stars, even as Soto denied that any formal meeting happened and Lindor downplayed its significance.

George Lombard Jr. delivered the Yankees debut fans had been waiting for, launching a home run and immediately showing the athleticism and defense that could transform the middle of the diamond. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why Lombard already looks like a massive upgrade at shortstop, while Shaun Morash argues the Yankees should ride the excitement and move him to the leadoff spot. The debut created real hope, but the lineup still produced only two runs and needed nearly perfect pitching to win. Evan also calls out Austin Wells for swinging at the first pitch instead of letting Lombard enjoy a curtain call. Plus, a new report claims Freddy Peralta helped repair the strained relationship between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, sparking debate over what caused the disconnect and whether it actually hurt the Mets. The Yankees' decision not to add a reliever at the trade deadline also comes under fire as concerns grow about the bullpen and Clarke Schmidt's setback.

Playing off-TV re-join songs leads Gio to recall his time on Dancing with the Stars in Pittsburgh, followed by a caller insisting Primanti Bros. is a must-visit and Gio admitting he hates asking for things over the phone. C-Lo's final update starts with the Yankees defeating the Cardinals in George Lombard Jr.'s MLB debut, C-Mac and Brian Cashman exchanging long-winded Q&As, Mets rookie Nate Lavender detailing his family's travel to Cleveland, Gio declaring Syracuse isn't for him, and John Kruk offering cremation thoughts during Bryce Harper's return to the outfield. After the Moment of the Day on sharing sleep paralysis struggles with your wife, the show wraps with a new report on Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and Freddy Peralta, leaving Gio convinced that Lindor and Soto simply don't like each other.

Gio and Jerry host with Boomer away, kicking off with George Lombard Jr.'s dream debut. Gio laughs at C-Mac interviewing Brian Cashman, leading to a breakdown of Cashman's catcher stance, C-Mac's quick "thank you" audio, and Gio figuring out why Yankees fans are angry. C-Lo delivers an update on Lombard's homer alongside Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman's excitement, followed by Craig and C-Mac's Cashman song, C-Mac's interruption apology, and Cashman dodging a Francisco Lindor trade question. The guys then hit Keith Hernandez's broadcasting edge, Freddy Peralta's Rays debut, and John Harbaugh scolding Jaxson Dart. Finally, Stephen Waldron's vacation leads to Gio sharing his worst guy trip ever: getting robbed at machete point in the Dominican Republic.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' latest blockbuster has Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash admitting an uncomfortable truth: Yankees and Mets fans are jealous. Evan argues that New York's teams have the money and resources to operate like Andrew Friedman's machine, while Shaun says the Dodgers' growing dominance proves Major League Baseball's system is fundamentally broken. They clash over whether a salary cap would have prevented Los Angeles from landing Tarik Skubal, whether Rob Manfred benefits from the outrage, and whether anyone can stop the Dodgers from returning to the World Series. Plus, the Mets' disastrous Freddy Peralta trade gets a painful retrospective, Evan apologizes to Mike Hampton, and the Yankees' reported willingness to trade Will Warren for Adrian Morejon reveals how aggressively Brian Cashman pursued bullpen help.

The Freddy Peralta trade officially looks like a Mets disaster, and Evan Roberts revisits the warning he issued when New York surrendered two top prospects for a one-year rental. After hearing the station's original reactions, Evan and Shaun Morash rank who came closest to getting it right and unload on Peralta's five ERA, short starts and complete failure to deliver. Peralta's move to Tampa Bay creates another nightmare scenario if the Rays immediately fix him, while Evan explains why the debacle has given him a new appreciation for Mike Hampton. The conversation also turns to the Yankees' aggressive bullpen pursuit, a reported Will Warren offer for Adrian Morejon, possible Jacob deGrom trade destinations and Harrison Bader's latest alleged scooter incident.

Gio loves seeing the ‘86 Mets, but not in the middle of a horrendous season, though Jerry loved their throwback video and noted Jamie-Lynn Sigler is married to Lenny Dykstra's son. Ray Knight's SNY appearance brought up a past domestic dispute. Also, a debate on whether Bob Murphy or Vin Scully owns the iconic Mookie/Buckner call. C-Lo returns with updates from the Yankees beating the Cubs, including Austin Wells honoring Thurman Munson on the 47th anniversary of his death. To wrap up the hour, the guys react to Joe Buck's surprisingly annoyed radio call of the Buckner error and field a caller questioning why Mets Twitter thanked Freddy Peralta.

With Boomer out, Gio & Jerry dive into a wild MLB trade deadline—from the Yankees acquiring Luis Garcia Jr. and the Mets shipping Freddy Peralta, to Tarik Skubal's bargain deal with the Dodgers fueling lockout conspiracy theories. The guys react to CBS's shock suspension of Tony Romo for JJ Watt and debate if Jerry Jones will step in, while briefly touching on WFAN's studio pipe disaster, '86 Mets nostalgia, potential Phillies drama, and Joe Benigno waking Gio up in tighty whities!
