Charlie Goldsmith joined The Stone Shields Show for a deep dive into a pivotal week of Cincinnati Reds news and offseason developments.

The conversation goes beyond free agency, touching on the Reds' extra-inning struggles in 2025, the ongoing need for roster depth, and the front office's approach to balancing young talent with proven veterans. Packed with insight, context, and forward-looking analysis, this episode offers a smart, comprehensive snapshot of where the Reds stand as the offseason heats up.   You can watch The Stone Shields Show live Monday–Friday at 11:00 AM on Chatterbox Sports on YouTube, and listen anytime on all major podcast platforms.   Stone's Interview with Charlie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbduakPtyxY&pp=0gcJCSMKAYcqIYzv Full Episode on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bengals-defensive-improvement-emilio-pagan-deal-with/id1828384424?i=1000739721425    Go to https://OmahaSteaks.com to get 50% off sitewide during their Sizzle All the Way Sale.

The Morning, Midday and Afternoon Shows on 94WIP break down recent news about Kyle Schwarber's free agency.

The Morning, Midday and Afternoon Shows on 94WIP break down recent news about Kyle Schwarber's free agency.

Joe Giglio takes a look at the teams who are interesting in signing Phillies DH Kyle Schwarber and ranks who he thinks is the biggest threat to steal the reigning All Star Game MVP from Philadelphia.

In hour 4, the WIP Afternoon Show makes a prediction for where Kyle Schwarber will end up this offseason. Plus, if Giannis goes to the Knicks should the Sixers be worried? As well as, the Top 5 at 5 and the text line.

On today's show, the WIP Afternoon Show are having a discussion about the Eagles struggles and if it's just a regular Super Bowl Hangover or something more? Plus, a little Phillies with playing gm for a Matt Strahm and Alec Bohm package to the Mariners and predicting Kyle Schwarber's destination. As well as, guests Nick Kostos, Sheil Kapadia, and Mike Mayock.

The 94 WIP Midday Show are looking into MLB Free Agency, as reports are coming out that Kyle Schwarber could be the first big name to sign to a team this winter. Joe Giglio says he wants Schwarber back, but admits the Phillies will probably overpay on the contract in order to keep him. He says that the Phillies will most likely give him too many years and too much money and might regret it in a few years. For the immediate future, it is extremely important that the Phillies retain Kyle Schwarber. If he leaves, there is another big name free agent that Joe Giglio has his eyes on.

In hour 2, the 94 WIP Midday Show discussed the current situation surrounding Kyle Scwarber's free agency. There is general belief that Schwarber will be the first big name free agent to sign with a team this offseason. Joe Giglio expects the Phillies to re-sign Schwarber, but that they will probably overpay in the process. If he leaves, there is another free agent outfielder that Giglio wants the Phillies to get. Hugh Douglas thinks that he may be going to the Cincinnati Reds. Darius Slay did not report to the Bills as he contemplates retirement. He called Philadelphia his second home and said he was unsure if he would have reported to the Eagles if they had won his waiver claim.

Today's 94 WIP Midday Show posed an interesting question: would you sign-up right now for the Eagles to finish their final 5 games at 3-2, clinching the NFC East and a home playoff game? Joe Giglio certainly would, because he thinks that there is possibility the wheels fall off of this season. Hugh Douglas strongly disagrees, urging the Eagles to take control of their destiny and start playing better. Kyle Schwarber's free agency is starting to pick up steam with the MLB winter meetings starting next week. Darius Slay interestingly called Philadelphia his second home but would not comment on if he is coming back. Jalen Hurts needs to start running more, according to Joe Giglio. Listen at the end for the Guess the Takes segment, and You People!

BT & Sal dive into the hot rumor connecting the Mets to free agent Kyle Schwarber, immediately questioning whether the power-hitting DH is a replacement for Pete Alonso or an addition. Sal loves the idea of adding Schwarber's prodigious power while weakening the Phillies, but BT argues it makes little sense for a team emphasizing defense and versatility under David Stearns, given Schwarber's lack of position and high strikeout rate. The conversation pivots to the "hardball" the Mets are playing with Alonso, with sources indicating the team is holding firm at a three-year offer, far below what Pete and Boras are seeking. They debate whether moving on from Alonso to pursue Schwarber—and finally breaking up the core—is a smart business decision, even if it sacrifices a fan favorite. They agree the Mets have options, including a Bellinger-Pete combo, and must prioritize pitching, but the Alonso-Schwarber ultimatum is the most fascinating offensive negotiation.

BT & Sal ignite a heated debate over the Mets' struggling outfield, dismissing Cody Bellinger as an unlikely option given his Yankee ties, but acknowledging his flexibility is appealing. The conversation quickly shifts to the current center field options, with Sal calling a potential Harrison Bader signing a waste of time and Byron Buxton an injury-prone gamble. The crux of the segment focuses on the future of Pete Alonso: if the Mets let him walk, they "must sign Kyle Schwarber." Sal passionately argues that Schwarber's superior plate discipline (despite the high strikeouts) and unhinged "caveman" energy make him a better power-bat acquisition than retaining Alonso. They compare the two sluggers' OPS and debate the risk of Schwarber's two-hundred-strikeout season in the postseason.

BT & Sal ignite a debate over Mets President David Stearns' disciplined, non-budging stance on a three-year contract for Pete Alonso. Sal believes Alonso is "100% gone" for at least four years elsewhere, but Tierney respects Stearns' hard line—if he wins! The pressure is immense: if Stearns lets fan-favorite Alonso walk and the team loses, he's a "dead man." The discussion heats up over the possibility of the Mets pursuing Kyle Schwarber, with the hosts agreeing that if Stearns gives Schwarber (who is two years older) more years or money than Alonso, it would be a "dirty" move and a massive blunder. Callers chime in, suggesting front-loaded deals, while the hosts ultimately acknowledge that Stearns must be allowed to build the team his way, or else the model breaks. The excitement builds imagining a Lindor-Schwarber-Soto three-man tandem.

Segment 1 – News and Notes1.We had our first significant trade of the season as the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward.a.Both teams are starved for pitching, and while G-Rod has never been healthy, he has good stuff with four years of team control. Taylor Ward becomes a free agent after this season.b.Unless the Orioles haven't told us that G-Rod's arm will fall off at some point next season, it's hard not to like this for the Angels. I will say, the Angels did not do a physical. I'm thinking that was part of the deal – you're buying low, so no give-backzy. 2.Raisel Iglesias signed back with the Braves. He had stretch where he was awful and lost his job. Is he the closer going into camp? Is he somebody you're comfortable drafting as a closer?3.Non-tendered players – Surprised, any worries they will sign somewhere?a.Adolis Garica (OF, Tex)i.Who gets his playing time?b.Nathaniel Lowe (1B, Bos)c.Christopher Morel (DH, TB)d.Alek Manoah (Atl, RHP)4.Kazuma Okamoto was posted. What do we know about him?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the NL East – Marlins, Mets, Phillies, and NatsMiami Marlins1.Jakob Marsee – Let's hear it.a.AB, HR, SB, and BA – 12 HR, 35 SB, .2702.I know you've been a big fan of Connor Norby in the past. In a bit over a half-season, he went 8-8, making him a 15-15 player with a .250ish batting average. That's not an awful player, but he's been drafted as one. His ADP is 387, and he's the 30th third baseman off the board.a.What are your thoughts on Noby this season? Are you interested?3.Kyle Stowers had his breakout last season, posting a .288 batting average with 25 home runs in only 117 games. He's going as the 28th outfielder off the board.a.Would you feel good about him being your #2 outfielder?4.Sandy Alcantara was terrible last season, and now he's the 66th pitcher off the board (50th starter). I think I recall you saying you wanted him to pitch poorly last year, so he would drop in 2026. Has he dropped enough for you to be interested?5.When Ryan Weather has played, he's been ok. Unfortunately, he seems always to be hurt. He's the 120th pitcher off the board (call it 85 to 90th starter) – your 6th starter. Is that someone who interests you at the moment, or is it a pass?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)New York Mets1.The Mets appear to be moving on from Pete Alonso so they can move Vientos to first and Baty to third. Do you like this move or do you believe the Mets will keep Alonso?a.Baty's ADP is 259 and Vientos is 256. Who would you rather have?2.Francisco Alvarez started to show signs of being an impact player, slugging 11 home runs in 76 games. He'll just be 24 next season. Over/Under 20 home runs?3.Will Jeff McNeil be the full-time second baseman for the Mets in 2026? He's on the last year of his contract?4.Kodai Senga posted decent numbers in 2025, posting a 3.02 ERA with 109 strikeouts and 55 walks. However, he spent time in the minor leagues and continues to struggle throwing strikes?a.Stat line for 2026: wins, ERA, and K'sb.There's been rumors that the Mets will trade him this winter? What say you?5.Who will be the Mets closer in 2026?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Philadelphia Phillies1.The Phillies could lose several players to free agency, including Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto. Do they resign these guys or try to get younger?a.I guess the problem is, are there minor league players that can step in or do they need to dip into free agency?2.Related to #1, the Phillies team still has Harper, Turner, and Cristopher Sanchez, but overall, the team doesn't look great. Dumbroski always finds a way, but is this a playoff contender for 2026?3.Andrew Painter – 2026 stats – IP, ERA, K's4.Zach Wheeler is expected to be back by the end of May. Before the injury, he was one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he had TOS surgery, which doesn't have a great track record for pitchers. He's the 52nd pitcher off the board, or the 39th starting pitcher off the board. Do you feel comfortable with Wheeler being a stronger #3 starter on your team? He was a top 5 pitcher selected in 2025.5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)
