Podcast appearances and mentions of luis robert jr

Chuck Garfien brings you the best moments from SoxFest 2026. The episode opens with highlights from a fan-packed panel including Senior Vice President and General Manager Chris Getz alongside manager Will Venable, as they share insight into the team's direction and what they're building toward this season. Chuck also goes one-on-one with several players making headlines. Catcher Kyle Teel discusses mixing baseball and music after playing guitar live in front of the SoxFest crowd and looks ahead to his sophomore season, while infielder Miguel Vargas brings up the texts he received from Luis Robert Jr. after the trade to the Mets. The episode wraps up with young star Colson Montgomery, who talks about building on his strong rookie year and what he's focused on next.

Reacting to the Luis Robert Jr. trade. Did the White Sox get enough back? Predicting Robert's future with the Mets. The Nico Hoerner disrespect continues and the Cubs have a spring training position battle brewing.

MLBTR founder Tim Dierkes joins Darragh McDonald to discuss his recent post on the site and about whether a salary cap could be implemented, the potential of increasing revenue sharing, if deferrals should be limited, and how the players and owners could reach a compromise. Other topics include Cody Bellinger's five-year deal to stay in New York, the possibility of the Yankees trading Jasson Dominguez, the Mets acquiring Freddy Peralta from the Brewers and Luis Robert Jr. from the White Sox, the Rangers trading five prospects for MacKenzie Gore, and what moves the Nationals could make next. 

The Hahn era is officially over, as the Chicago White Sox have traded Luis Robert Jr to the New York Mets for INF Luisangel Acuna and RHP Truman Pauley. RAE's Juke Joint Sports Network will join the crew to discuss the Robert deal, Murakami signing, and Roch Cholowsky pick with Overslot article on it. Don't miss Ozzie Guillen Jr breaking down what was disscussed between Chris Getz and Ozzie Guillen along with the financies of the front office.

Chuck Garfien is joined by his TV partner and 2005 World Series Champion Ozzie Guillen for a conversation about the direction of the White Sox and why Ozzie believes this team will be more exciting to watch in 2026. Guillen also explains why he has confidence in the Sox starting rotation heading into the season. The discussion shifts to roster moves and player evaluations, including Ozzie's reaction to the Luis Robert Jr. trade and his inside take on Luisangel Acuña, Everson Pereira, and Munetaka Murakami. Ozzie also weighs in on comments from Francisco Lindor, the addition of relief pitcher Seranthony Domínguez, and whether this White Sox team is positioned to take a real step forward this upcoming season.

Chris Getz spent some of that Luis Robert Jr money right away by bringing in free agent bullpen arm Seranthony Domínguez. Is the presumed closer for the White Sox the best option? The answer may surprise you. While starting pitching in their price range remains deep, the White Sox may have one logical free agent outfield option left.

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.

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo recap a week that turned the tide on the Mets offseason and outlook for 2026. First up, the guys react to the huge trade that landed top starter Freddy Peralta along with Tobias Myers, in exchange for top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat. Then Connor and Joe move onto the acquisition of center fielder Luis Robert Jr, the official introduction of Bo Bichette, the addition of Luis Garcia to the bullpen, and maybe more moves to come.  The show also goes Down on the Farm to look at how the trades affect the organization, and answer Mailbag questions about adding another outfielder, and the September return of Pete Alonso to Citi Field with the Orioles.

David Haugh and Gabe Ramirez continued to discuss the top sports stories of the day.

In the third hour, David Haugh and Gabe Ramirez discussed the White Sox's outlook after they traded center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets. After that, Blackhawks great Chris Chelios joined the show to discuss the team's 4-3 win against the Hurricanes in a shootout Thursday. Later, Mike Palm of Circa Sports joined the program to set the scene for NFL Championship Sunday.

Luisangel Acuna (and Truman Pauley) come over from the Mets for Luis Robert Jr. The main story is about a player who never became what was promised being dealt for a prospect with his own promise. The other story tells you a deeper story about the White Sox Front Office and what Chris Getz had to do in order to complete his offseason. Will he stick the landing?

Sal Licata joins the crew today, and you'll never guess how Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo tried to pronounce Jarrett Stidham.

Stugotz thinks the Bills should hire Bill Belichick. And finally, we discuss the etiquette of buying Girl Scout cookies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The guys boil the Freddy Peralta trade down to one core issue: the Mets improved immediately, but it still feels like a short-term roster with short-term bets. If Peralta is a one-year rental and anything goes sideways, the whole thing can feel like a “temporary Picasso” that gets ruined the second it gets wet. Then the phones light up. One caller thinks the Mets changed philosophy because of media pressure, but Evan pushes back hard and says the front office has actually been consistent all along. That leads into the bigger theme: the Mets' approach to short-term deals, what Bo Bichette's press conference really told you about the plan, and why fans keep asking what “good enough” is when you cash in top prospects. Plus: a debate over the “roadblock” narrative with Jett Williams, what happens if Luis Robert Jr struggles early, and how quickly the Mets would pivot if performance is not there. And it ends with a hard pivot to hoops: the Knicks annihilate the Nets, the “players-only meeting” story gets dissected through Josh Hart's comments, and the real question becomes what the Knicks do next, not what they did to Brooklyn.

The crew opens with a big-picture baseball thought experiment: MLB should invent “Fugazi deadlines” to turn the offseason into a fast, chaotic sprint, because the last week has felt like an NFL-style frenzy. The Mets' entire winter gets compressed into a handful of headlines, from missing on Kyle Tucker to landing Luis Robert Jr. and adding Freddy Peralta, plus the value of getting a controllable arm like Tobias Myers as part of the bigger move. Then the conversation shifts into the real Mets fan experience right now: confusion, nerves, and a growing divide. One side sees the Peralta trade as an obvious upgrade. The other sees a potential rental that cost two top prospects, and says if you do that, you better be serious about keeping him. From there, it becomes a full debate about how “rentals” actually work, with a Mike Piazza comparison, plus the bigger question hanging over everything: can anyone realistically beat the Dodgers. The answer is complicated. The Dodgers might be the best team, but baseball still gives you a shot if you catch the right breaks and play clean, because you cannot afford a single slip against a team that deep.

The final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with baseball, football, and classic New York sports banter. Evan and Tiki react to a whirlwind MLB offseason, including the Mets' aggressive moves for Freddy Peralta, Luis Robert Jr., and Bo Bichette, and debate whether Peralta is a risky rental or a long-term building block. The Yankees' decision to retain Cody Bellinger sparks further discussion about roster construction and championship expectations in a Dodgers-dominated league.

In the third hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes reacted to the White Sox trading center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets in exchange for two young players. The trade officially closed the book on a once-promising but eventually disappointing era for the White Sox. After that, Spiegel and Holmes welcomed on Marquee Sports Network analyst Jim Deshaies, who's a proud member of a club of former MLB players who have exactly one Hall of Fame vote to their name. Later, Spiegel and Holmes discussed the growing bromance between Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.

When the New York Mets signed Bo Bichette and traded for Luis Robert Jr., many wondered if President of Baseball Ops David Stearns was finished making major moves this offseason. On Wednesday night though, Stearns had one more big surprise up his sleeve when he acquired someone from his past days in Milwaukee.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the big trade that saw the Mets deal for Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers in exchange for a package of top prospects Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams. With Peralta now headlining the Mets' starting rotation, does this addition make them a World Series contender again? Also, how will the new additions to the Brew Crew's prospect pipeline help them in the immediate future?Later, Jordan and Jake talk about the New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger reuniting after his impressive 2025 season in pinstripes on a five-year, $162.5 million contract. The move further solidifies the Yankees' belief in their offense, essentially running it back from last season—but could Brian Cashman and company have one more front-page deal before Spring Training kicks off? The guys then close the show by making their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.2:03 – The Opener: Freddy Peralta to the Mets29:43 – Jordan's Prospect Hut: The Brewers' return38:28 – Yankees re-sign Cody Bellinger52:00 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update54:37 – The Good1:01:13 – The Bad1:06:44 – The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The Mets finally pull the trigger on the move they've been circling for what feels like forever, landing Luis Robert Jr. and immediately reshaping the conversation around their lineup. Evan, Tiki, and Shaun break down why the deal makes sense even with the obvious red flags: recent struggles, durability concerns, and the price tag. They debate the upside of a true change of scenery in New York, what Robert's defense means for a team that badly needed real center field stability, and why this is a low risk swing with potentially massive reward. Plus, the ripple effect: where does this leave the Mets in the Cody Bellinger chase, and why Yankees fans might be feeling more confident today than they did yesterday as the staredown with Scott Boras continues. The hour also touches on growing buzz around the Giants, adding another major New York storyline to a packed opening segment.

The Mets finally make the move everyone assumed would never happen, acquiring Luis Robert Jr. and forcing a hard look at what this roster is really becoming. Evan, Tiki, and Shaun debate why the trade makes sense defensively, why the upside is real despite two rough seasons, and why the only true risk might be financial. The conversation turns into a deeper breakdown of David Stearns' long term vision, the famous “painting” analogy, and whether this lineup is better, worse, or just wildly different after losing Pete Alonso and reshaping the middle of the field. They dive into Robert's change of scenery potential, the Mets' desperate need for a real center fielder, and how bad last year's production truly was at that spot. Plus, the ripple effect on the Cody Bellinger sweepstakes, why the Mets likely have a short term offer out, and why Yankees fans may feel more confident as the staredown with Scott Boras continues. The big question remains: when you squint at this roster, is the picture starting to come together or does it still feel unfinished?

Big Mac storms in with a brutal comp, calling the Mets' Luis Robert Jr. trade the “Anthony Volpi” of moves, and the debate takes off from there. Why are Mets fans still fighting over the offseason, while Yankees fans are somehow… calm? The crew breaks down what the Robert Jr. deal signals about Cody Bellinger, why the Yankees' quiet winter has fans stuck in limbo, and why one announcement could flip the entire New York baseball mood overnight. Then it pivots hard to the Knicks, and the questions get louder: effort, energy, body language, and whether this looks like a team drifting from its coach. From Josh Hart's late-night TV appearance to the bigger issue of urgency, chemistry, and buy-in, the conversation turns into a real temperature check with CP “The Franchise” on what's actually happening and what (if anything) can fix it fast before things get ugly.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down a wild day in New York sports. The Yankees finally re-sign Cody Bellinger to a five-year deal, bringing relief to Bronx fans after a quiet offseason. The Mets pivot with a Luis Robert Jr. trade, signaling that Cody was never headed to Queens and raising questions about David Stearns' long-term philosophy. Plus, Giants fans continue to buzz after John Harbaugh's official introduction as head coach, Knicks fans grow uneasy amid a slump, and Evan explains why the Yankees could actually be better in 2026 despite the lack of splashy moves. All that and more on WFAN's Evan & Tiki.

Chuck Garfien is joined by White Sox field reporter Connor McKnight to break down one of the biggest moves of the offseason, Luis Robert Jr. being dealt to the New York Mets and what it means for the organization moving forward. The duo also digs into Chris Getz's role in reshaping the roster and the return headlined by Luisangel Acuña. From there, the conversation turns to the ripple effects of the trade, expectations for Robert in 2026, how the White Sox might deploy their new financial flexibility, and where the front office could look to invest as the next phase of the rebuild takes shape.

John Harbaugh is officially in the building, and the Giants' new era is kicks off. From Joe Schoen's "breathless" introduction to the secret Tom Coughlin phone call that pushed ownership's hand, and if a Rex Ryan or Wink Martindale return is actually on the table. The Mets land Luis Robert Jr. , and Jalen Brunson is calls a players meeting as the Knicks sink. We've got Joe Burrow backing refs, Baker Mayfield's comments on Kevin Stefanski, the Bills talking to Brian Daboll, and even a fake "Broadway Joe" message for Peter Schwartz.

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes reacted to the White Sox trading center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets in exchange for two young players. The trade officially closed the book on a once-promising but eventually disappointing era for the White Sox.

The New York Mets struck big last year when they reeled in Juan Soto from the Bronx to headline an eventful winter. However, after a disappointing 2025 campaign, the Amazin's have been on a mission to retool this offseason, and thanks to David Stearns, they'll go into 2026 with plenty of new faces and hope for success.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the retooled lineup that the Mets have assembled, which includes signing Bo Bichette and trading for Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox. In addition to the signings of Devin Williams and Jorge Polanco, the new-look Mets are looking forward to a redemption season in 2026.Later, Jordan and Jake talk about Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, why the Houston Astros cheating scandal caused Beltrán to have to wait and the improbable climb for Jones to make it into the Hall.
