Podcast appearances and mentions of jose caballero

The hour began with a discussion about Tom Brady's golf course venture and his son. Dan in Carteret called to discuss the new Bengals stadium, but commented on Boomer's head size. We covered recent NFL trades, and a caller was upset about us not acknowledging Robert Plant's birthday. Another caller questioned why WFAN hosts vacation in the summer. Jerry's update included the Yankees beating the Rays with five more home runs. Jose Caballero's ejection and post-game comments were discussed. Kodai Senga struggled in the Mets' loss to DC, and Mendoza commented on his performance. Myles Garrett avoided talking about his speeding ticket, and we discussed the Micah Parsons situation. The final segment focused on Cracker Barrel's recent logo and interior changes, which led to social media accusations of them being "woke." Are people plain old stupid?

Hour 1 Boomer and Gio are concerned about Kodai Senga's performance and suggest David Peterson as the Mets' playoff ace. Jerry's update covers the Yankees' win over the Rays, the Mets' loss (Senga gave up 4 earned runs, Nimmo left with a stiff neck), "What is Anthony Gallo Talking About?", a bullet through Andy Reid's office window last year, and Sachia Vickery's $1,000 pre-date deposit on OnlyFans. Hour 2 The hour began with a discussion about Tom Brady's golf course venture and his son. Dan in Carteret called to discuss the new Bengals stadium, but instead mocked Boomer's head size. NFL trades were a topic, as was a caller's frustration about not acknowledging Robert Plant's birthday. Another caller questioned why all WFAN hosts vacation in the summer. Jerry's update started with the Yankees beating the Rays, hitting five more home runs. Jose Caballero's ejection and post-game comments were covered. Kodai Senga's rough outing in the Mets' loss to DC was discussed, along with Mendoza's comments. Myles Garrett avoided talking about his speeding ticket, and the Micah Parsons situation in Dallas remained unresolved. The hour concluded with the social media buzz around Cracker Barrel's logo change, with many perceiving them as "woke" due to the new logo and interior changes. Hour 3 We began discussing the Giants' improved optimism this season due to positional upgrades. Boomer stressed the importance of Russell Wilson avoiding turnovers and the defense creating them, unlike last season. Adam Schein will do Sunday highlights on CBS, not the highly paid talent. Jerry returned for an update, but first, someone made him t-shirts with his death-related sayings. The Yankees beat the Rays with 5 more homers. We then discussed the slang term 'NPC'. The hour concluded with a discussion on Phil Mickelson and those who believe he 'ruined golf'. Hour 4 Bubba Wallace in-studio, Boomer compares NASCAR to LIE driving. Jerry's final update: Yankees beat Rays with Stanton's tenth-inning pinch-hit HR. Ohtani hit in thigh by line drive. Jets held a players-only practice, overseen by Aaron Glenn. Moment of The Day: host struggles with 'depth'. Jordan Davis calls in to discuss Cracker Barrel.

Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Rays as they hit 5 more home runs. Jose Caballero got tossed and he talked about it after the game. Kodai Senga got roughed up as the Mets lost in DC. Mendoza talked about Senga's performance after the game. Myles Garrett met the media and had no interest in talking about his speeding ticket. We also talked about the Micah Parsons situation in Dallas as there seems to be no movement.

On a post-trade deadline Friday, Boomer and Gio praise the Yankees and Mets for their aggressive but smart trade moves. The Yankees acquired three back-end relievers, while both teams avoided sacrificing top prospects. Boomer is optimistic about the Yankees' schedule and future performance. Jerry provides an update on the busy trade deadline, with over 50 trades and 100+ players moved, including Jose Caballero to the Yankees. Other topics include Boomer's take on David Stearns, Mikal Bridges' contract, the NFL preseason kickoff, and the lasting impact of Russell Wilson's "Mr. Unlimited" video. Boomer also interviewed John Randle for "Gametime."

Jerry recaps all of the moves from what ended up being a crazy trade deadline. There were over 50 trades made in less than two days and more than 100 players moved. The Yankees traded for Jose Caballero of the Rays while he was playing against them. Boomer wants close-ups of David Stearns because he is a “very small man”. Jerry thinks it would be cool to be taller. Mikal Bridges took a slight discount on his new extension to keep the Knicks under the second apron. The NFL preseason began last night with the Hall of Fame game.

Hour 1 It was a "Feel Good" Friday post-trade deadline. Boomer praised Brian Cashman for the Yankees acquiring three relievers. Gio appreciated both the Yankees' and Mets' aggressive, prospect-preserving deadline moves. Boomer predicted a Yankees surge. Boomer was upset with Gio over a fried cannoli bet. Both agreed their teams met deadline needs. Jerry recapped the busy deadline (50+ trades, 100+ players moved, Jose Caballero traded mid-game). Boomer wanted David Stearns close-ups due to his height, while Jerry wished he was taller. Mikal Bridges took a discount for his extension to keep the Knicks under the second apron. The NFL preseason started with the Hall of Fame game. Finally, Boomer and Gio discussed the enduring impact of Russell Wilson's "Mr. Unlimited" video after Gio interviewed him, and Boomer interviewed John Randle for "Gametime." Hour 2 Boomer and Gio discuss flash flooding, Boomer's best teammate (Anthony Munoz), Robin Ventura's fight with Nolan Ryan, the 1999-2000 Mets, and BT and Sal's "going to town" phrase. Yankees acquired Jose Caballero, while the Mets traded for Cedric Mullins. Terry McLaurin wants a trade from the Commanders. Gio looks forward to Streamsong and Pebble Beach, and a caller suggests a golf psychology book for them. Hour 3 Gio's changing weather preference, McLaurin trade thoughts, Hard Knocks' Damar Hamlin spotlight, Yankees win, MLB trade deadline games, Mets playing time, Correa to Astros, C-Mac and Big Zoo's late-night talk, Jaxson Dart's learning from Zach Wilson, Jets fan's McLaurin opinion, Giants fan's Russell Wilson observation, and Boomer's take on Russell Wilson's motivation. Hour 4 Boomer and Gio discuss Aaron Rodgers, the Jets' Madden ratings, and a golf tournament win. Jerry grades the Yankees' and Mets' trade deadline moves. The Yankees won their third straight. Mikal Bridges extended with the Knicks. Joe Schoen addresses Giants roster flaws. The Moment of the Day: Gio reenacts a BT and Sal argument. In the final segment, Gio foresees a Yankees-Astros postseason collision, while Boomer believes bullpen additions suffice. Bullpens are increasingly vital in modern baseball. The Giants became sellers and will play the Mets.

Jerry begins with BT and Sal saying some variation of “going to town” after Cashman said that a few weeks ago. Jose Caballero, one of the Yankees acquisitions, met with the media after the game because he was in town playing against the Yankees when the trade was made. The Mets traded for Cedric Mullins and now have a real centerfielder. Terry McLaurin requested a trade from the Commanders. He wants a new contract.

Flash floods highlight mismanagement. Boomer names Anthony Munoz his best teammate. A caller, close to Robin Ventura, believes Ventura won his fight with Nolan Ryan. We recall the 1999-2000 Mets. Jerry updates on BT & Sal's "going to town" comments, Jose Caballero's trade, the Mets acquiring Cedric Mullins, and Terry McLaurin's trade request. Gio discusses a golf trip to Streamsong and Pebble Beach, and a caller suggests a golf psychology book.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick on the Rays trade deadlines acquisitions as they say goodbye to Taj Bradley, Jose Caballero and Curtis Mead. They didn't trade they're biggest pieces and kept Yandy Diaz, Brandon Lowe and Pete Fairbanks. Plus when should you be worried about the number of interceptions that Baker Mayfield is throwing in practice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to Tablesetters Episode 97. This week's show looks back on a 2025 MLB Trade Deadline that completely reshaped the landscape, with contenders making aggressive moves and several teams signaling a shift toward the future. Before we get started, a big thank you to everyone who joined us for our first live broadcast on Twitter and YouTube. Your comments and energy made it a memorable debut, and we're looking forward to bringing more live coverage as the season continues. We start with the San Diego Padres, who were among the busiest teams at the deadline. They added Mason Miller and JP Sears from the Athletics, then followed up with Ryan O'Hearn and Ramón Laureano to bring more left-handed power and defensive versatility, while Nestor Cortes joined their rotation. The package heading to Oakland was headlined by top prospect Leo De Vries, signaling that San Diego is all-in for the stretch run. The New York Yankees built out one of the deepest bullpens in baseball, adding Jake Bird, David Bednar, and Camilo Doval, along with Jose Caballero to give their bench more speed and flexibility. The National League East became a true arms race. The Mets bolstered their bullpen with Tyler Rogers and Ryan Helsley and addressed center field with Cedric Mullins, while the Phillies countered by landing Jhoan Duran from the Twins to lock down the ninth inning. Around the league, the Astros brought Carlos Correa back to Houston, the Mariners reunited with Eugenio Suárez, and the Cubs, Reds, Rays, Rangers, Tigers, Red Sox, and Royals all made moves to position themselves for the next two months in different ways. Meanwhile, the Twins leaned fully into selling, parting with multiple core pieces and signaling a new phase for the franchise. All of this leads into what could be a fascinating finish to the season, capped off by the inaugural Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway, where the Braves and Reds will play in front of a potential record-setting regular-season crowd.

The Tampa Bay Rays took Tuesday's game in walk-off fashion by an Amed Rosario dribbler to third base that Anthony Rendon could not get the throw to first on time. The game ended 7-6 but most of the damage was done from the 9th inning on as the Rays were trailing 3-1 with two out in the 9th inning when Jose Caballero came through with a 2-run triple to maintain the Rays alive. Aaron Civale had a quality start for the Rays while the bullpen covered 7 innings allowing 3 unearned runs.Let us know what you think  of this series in the comments!Follow Kevin Weiss @KevinWeiss_Follow Ulises Sambrano @SambranoUlisesFollow the show @LockedOnRaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The Tampa Bay Rays took their first win of their three-game series against Los Angeles Angels 6-4. Aaron Civale allowed a two-run bomb to Mike Trout in the first inning but settled down and that would be the only time he would get hurt by the Angels.

Welcome back to another episode of Benched with Bubba.

The Tampa Bay Rays & Seattle Mariners have linked up once again by making a Friday trade that sent OF Luke Raley for 28-year old IF Jose Caballero (who seems to be the Opening Day answer at shortstop for the 2024 season given the Wander Franco situation). That same day, the Rays made another trade, this time with the St. Louis Cardinals by sending RHP Andrew Kittredge (mainstay in the bullpen since 2017!) for OF Richie Palacios.

Does this feel about right, too low, too high?2.The Mets did a very Un-Mets signing. They went small, signing Harrison Bader to a one-year deal. With Ronnie Mauricio lost for a good part of the season, they needed an outfielder and Bader is it. There is speed and great defense, but the data doesn't show much power at all. He does swing with a lot of loft, but it's hard to see more than a handful of home runs. Also, he hasn't been able to stay healthy since 2019.
