The Jets' Aaron Rodgers decision gets a major second look, with Evan admitting they probably should have tried to make it work instead of immediately moving on. Jerry Recco joins the conversation as they question Aaron Glenn's handling of Rodgers and wonder whether keeping him as a transition quarterback could have changed the Jets' direction. Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor also spark intrigue after Soto was the first to congratulate Lindor on a home run, raising questions about whether their relationship has genuinely improved. Plus, Kevin Durant admits his biggest sports regret was failing to win a championship with the Nets, and the crew debates whether Brian Cashman's long Yankees tenure may finally be nearing its natural endpoint.
Francisco Lindor was robbed of a grand slam by Fernando Tatis Jr., but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber can't stop thinking about the Mets fans sitting right behind the play. Should they have attacked the ball and made Tatis' catch more difficult, or is it unfair to expect fans to react like players when a baseball is flying toward them? Evan argues that fans sitting in the front row of home run territory need a game plan because they can legitimately impact the outcome. The debate turns into a hilarious breakdown of fight, flight and freezing in the moment, along with memories of infamous fan interference. Plus, Evan admits his own sports teams have given him very little reason to experience meaningful-game stress.
Can these two actually co-exist going forward? Jerry thinks this is part of the reason the Mets are broken.
With Gio out, Boomer & Jerry kick off today's show breaking down a Yankees loss to Toronto, Jazz Chisholm's struggles, key NY injuries, and the Giants' preseason opener. They transition to Jets QB Cade Klubnik's debut, opening NFL schedules, Joshua Baez's three-homer debut, and a deep dive into Tommy John's Hall of Fame case. Later, the guys debate if Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto can co-exist on the Mets and react to Evan Roberts' wild bathroom mishap, before wrapping up with Little League ethics, Moment of the Day, and Boomer's awkward Carvel ice cream run. These items and other odds 'n ends.
A caller questions why Tommy John isn't in the Hall of Fame before the guys debate if Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto can co-exist—and whether their dynamic is why the Mets are broken. C-Lo returns for an update, starting with a construction worker's arm crashing through the ceiling while Evan Roberts was on the office toilet. Boomer then wonders if Aaron Judge will be in the lineup on September 11th, Karl-Anthony Towns gets married in Malibu, and LeBron James launches a YouTube golf channel.
Brandon Tierney joins Chris for the hour to talk about the #CadeBrigade, whether the Yankees have been overachieving, if Francisco Lindor will remain a Met throughout his remaining contract, & more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Don Mattingly publicly fires back at Bryce Harper, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the Phillies' growing dysfunction could end with a franchise-altering breakup. They debate whether Mattingly was holding his star accountable or simply protecting the front office and his son, then explore a blockbuster Bryce Harper-for-Francisco Lindor trade that could completely reshape the Mets and Phillies. Evan and Tiki weigh Harper's fit alongside Juan Soto, Lindor's uncertain future in Queens and why the proposed swap could end badly for everyone. They also revisit the Yankees' extra-inning failures, debate their trade-deadline options, react to Shaun Morash's controversial pizza rankings and question whether a LeBron James documentary can recreate the impact of The Last Dance.
Carlos Beltrán is officially a Hall of Famer, which is great news for Mets fans who wanted to remember a time when superstar talent was allowed to stay in Queens without being swapped for three red-sticker clearance-rack prospects and a bullpen arm named Chad.This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down Beltrán's Hall of Fame moment, the Mets' future manager mess, the trade deadline chaos, and the radical idea that maybe — just maybe — this organization should stop acting shocked when bargain-bin roster construction produces bargain-bin results.Manager talk is officially back on the table. Alex Cora? Joe Girardi? Wally Backman? Carlos Beltrán one day? And yes, because this show has lost all adult supervision, Trevor Bauer's name gets tossed in for laughs before Rodriguez demands the next manager be old school, because apparently the answer to everything is eye black, yelling, and making sure everybody knows how to hit behind the runner.The roster conversation is just as messy. The Mets need real position players playing real positions. One job. One glove. One place to stand. Enough with the baseball version of musical chairs where everybody is “versatile” until nobody can actually catch the ball cleanly.And while we're at it: own the money or move over. The Mets cannot keep shopping like they're broke, then act confused when the roster looks like it came from the damaged-goods aisle. You get what you pay for. Farace will say it calmly at first. Then Rodriguez will somehow make it angrier. Then Producer Joe will interrupt from wherever he is, probably annoying a cabana worker.On the field, the Mets went 1-2 against the Dodgers, but they've taken the first two from the Braves with the finale tonight, so naturally everyone is trying to figure out whether this is progress, a tease, or just the Mets setting the trap door before the Marlins come to town for four and the team heads to Cleveland next week.The trade deadline is basically here, and the candidate list is almost the entire roster with maybe five or six exceptions. Freddy Peralta back to the Brewers? Clay Holmes drawing scouts during rehab — trade him or extend him? Tyrone Taylor and Luis Robert Jr. markets heating up? At this point, if your locker doesn't have Soto, Lindor, McLean, Benge, Scott, or Thornton written on it, maybe don't buy green bananas.Speaking of the future: is it McLean, Scott, and Thornton time? Are those the arms the Mets should actually build around instead of pretending the next recycled veteran reclamation project is secretly the answer?We'll also ask the question Mets fans have been asking for years: what exactly is going on with the medical evaluations? Injuries, setbacks, mystery timelines, medical staff upheaval rumors — who is checking these players, a doctor or somebody reading WebMD on the 7 train?Beltrán to the Hall. Manager chaos. Deadline panic. Stop trading stars for coupons. Own the money. Play people where they belong. Figure out the medical mess. And somehow, yes, the Mets are still making us watch every inning like we signed a blood oath.LGM.#PiitB #Mets #LGM #MetsTradeDeadline #CarlosBeltran
Evan Roberts unloads on Plaxico Burress for comparing his 2011 season with the Jets to prison, arguing that Burress joined a championship-caliber team coming off back-to-back AFC title game appearances. Tiki Barber laughs at the joke but agrees it ignores the reality of a Jets team that started 8-5 before collapsing and beginning a brutal stretch of franchise failure. Evan also explains why Francisco Lindor's second half could reshape the Mets' future, whether Lindor stays or raises his trade value. A lost phone creates a Citi Field bathroom dilemma, while a Yankees caller sparks a heated argument over Hal and George Steinbrenner, Carlos Beltran and Bernie Williams.

David Stearns refuses to directly confirm that Francisco Lindor is part of the Mets' future, and Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash hear a clear message: Stearns wants him gone. Evan Roberts initially interprets the answer as reassurance, then questions whether his Mets fandom is affecting what he hears. They debate whether a Lindor trade is more likely in the offseason and warn that moving a recent MVP candidate without a major return would be a crushing mistake.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber search for signs of hope across New York sports, from Zack Thornton's encouraging outing for the Mets to Geno Smith's potential fit with the Jets. They also debate whether Lindor can reclaim his leadership role by confronting his own struggles and demanding more from a team that has lost its way. The Yankees remain a major concern as Aaron Judge works toward a return and the lineup tries to manufacture runs without him. Shaun and Tiki examine the limits of small ball, the need to punish weak pitching, and whether stronger starting pitching and a reshaped bullpen can keep their championship hopes alive.
