C-Lo's first update of the day starts with the newest Yankee, Luis Garcia Jr, homering in his first game as a Yankee. The Yanks were down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and then lost. Brian Cashman was asked about Judge and when he's coming back. David Stearns talked about why they kept Luis Robert Jr.

With Boomer out today, it's Gio & Jerry starting with the MLB trade deadline: what the Yankees got, what they didn't, and whether it signals anything about the returns of Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton, alongside all the players the Mets traded away. C-Lo steps in for Jerry for his first update, leading with newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his first game as a Yankee—though the Yanks went down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and lost. Plus, Brian Cashman addresses when Judge is coming back, David Stearns explains why they kept Luis Robert Jr., and a caller in the final segment points out that the Red Sox and Rays acquired catchers, which is exactly what the Yankees needed.

The Jets are running a terrible backup plan behind Geno Smith, relying on fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook. C-Lo returns with updates on Cruz walking in the White Sox win in eleven, a pissed-off Aaron Boone, and Luis Robert Jr lifting the Mets past the Marlins. Plus, Mookie Wilson admits on the Carton show he didn't want to be up in big spots, and Gio claims Rami's day off to see Mumford & Sons was a total weather bust.

C-Lo's got the sounds of Cruz walking in a run to seal the White Sox win in eleven. Aaron Boone was pissed after the game about not scoring. Luis Robert Jr had the go ahead 2-run single as the Mets beat the Marlins. Mookie Wilson was on the Carton show and said he didn't want to be up in a big spot.

Farace, Tim, and Anthony are back for Episode 141 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct, and this week the sports world apparently needed a babysitter. The NBA offseason went completely off the rails, Tony Romo found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, the NFL offseason keeps handing out pressure points, the WNBA All-Star weekend gave us great basketball and some league-office weirdness, MLB trade deadline rumors are heating up, and SummerSlam is sitting there looking like the calmest thing on the board. Which is insane, because it's wrestling.We start with the NBA, because honestly, how could we not? Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis are headed to Miami, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James are now in Philadelphia, Paul George is in Boston, Kawhi Leonard is back in Toronto, Ja Morant is in Portland, LaMelo Ball is in Minnesota, Julius Randle is in Brooklyn, and Mitchell Robinson somehow ended up with the Celtics because apparently Knicks fans were too happy and the universe had to fix that. Andre Drummond is now in New York, Austin Reaves got paid, Trae Young stayed put, and every fanbase is currently pretending their front office had a master plan instead of a Red Bull and a trade machine.Then we jump to the NFL, where Tony Romo's DUI situation leads the conversation before the guys get into the bigger offseason picture. Kyle Shanahan has more pressure, Baker Mayfield has more questions, Brandon Aiyuk's future is still hanging around, and teams around the league are trying to convince everyone their offseason moves solved everything. Very cute. Very July. Let's check back when somebody is 2-4 and blaming the coordinator.The WNBA All-Star Game also gets some time, with Jonquel Jones taking MVP honors and the league creating its own unnecessary side drama after posting and deleting a video tied to Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, and a friendly wager. Great basketball, more attention than ever, and then the league office decided to step on a rake in public. Impressive range.Baseball gets its turn with the MLB trade deadline approaching and big names floating around. Tarik Skubal, Robbie Ray, Freddy Peralta, Mason Miller, Luis Arráez, Eugenio Suárez, Luis Robert Jr., George Springer, and plenty more could be part of the deadline madness. Contenders need pitching, sellers want ridiculous returns, and Mets names being involved means Farace is probably going to suffer at least once during this segment. Tradition matters.And then there's SummerSlam, with CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell, Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY, Penta vs. Chad Gable, and enough chaos across both nights to make wrestling Twitter unbearable before the first bell even rings. Which, to be fair, is kind of the point.So Episode 141 has it all: NBA trade chaos, LeBron in Philly, Giannis in Miami, Romo headlines, NFL offseason drama, WNBA All-Star buzz, MLB deadline rumors, and SummerSlam madness. Farace, Tim, and Anthony are locked in, the takes will be loud, the patience will be low, and somebody is absolutely going to defend a terrible opinion long after the rest of the room has moved on.Business as usual.#NBA #NFL #MLBTradeDeadline #SummerSlam #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros

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

Jerry is here for his first update of the day. The Brewers made a few mistakes to help the Mets win 4-0. Luis Robert Jr. is Kirkland Yoenis Cespedes. JT Realmuto's baserunning blunder cost the Phillies against the Dodgers and the Marlins turned a triple play. John Harbaugh chimed in on Cam Skattebo's backflip. ESPN and NFL Network layoffs continued yesterday and JJ Watt blamed Pat McAfee while on his show.

Jerry's last update of the day starts with news that Max Fried will return in the Yankees second game today. Zack Thornton had a great performance in last night's Mets win along with great defense from AJ Ewing and a moonshot by Luis Robert Jr. Harbaugh gave his thoughts on the Skattebo backflip and his 24/7 focus on the Giants. News that Patrick Mahomes may come back sooner than thought. Moment of the Day: Swollen testicle reactions.

With WFAN and other Audacy stations heading to SiriusXM in September, Gio breaks down why the deal is a win for all sides, right before intern Joe shares what it was like playing against AJ Ewing and other pro athletes in high school. Jerry steps up for his final update with news on Max Fried's return in game two of today's Yankees doubleheader, followed by the Mets' victory over the Brewers behind Zac Thornton's sharp outing, AJ Ewing's stellar defense, and a moonshot home run from Luis Robert Jr. Meanwhile, John Harbaugh tells Bob Papa and Carl Banks what went through his mind seeing Cam Skattebo's backflip, reiterating that he's focused on his squad 24/7. Plus, reports show Patrick Mahomes could be back on the field sooner than expected. The Moment of the Day revisits Reggie's swollen testicle and how Mike and Dog would react, paving the way for a final segment filled with calls about ruptured testicles to Keith Hernandez's take on the Jose Caballero and Dennis Santana drama.

As Tom Brady teams up with WWE, the guys try to figure out which events he'll actually join, followed by a quick look at Kenan Thompson's surprise over Peyton Manning's SNL comedy chops. Gio then shares his plan to meet his mom in the city for her birthday Broadway play—admitting he's dreading a potential Nathan Lane understudy, and acknowledging he is utterly incapable of enjoying the show. Jerry kicks off his update with Luis Robert Jr.'s monster home run in the Mets' 4-0 win over the Brewers, before moving to A's rookie Joshua Kuroda-Grauer suffering a ruptured testicle after fouling a ball off his un-cupped nether region. Gio suspects Gary Cohen only sent get-well wishes on the Mets broadcast just so he could say "ruptured testicle" on air, and to no one's surprise, the show wraps up the hour by discussing the injury even further.

Gio kicks off the show surprised to see himself and Boomer featured on Quarterback, prompting Boomer to question the Ravens without John Harbaugh and Gio to praise the Giants' promising head coach and quarterback dynamic. Gio offers a quick storm recap ahead of Jerry's first update. The sports rundown covers the Mets' 4-0 win over the error-prone Brewers, dubs Luis Robert Jr. a "Kirkland Yoenis Cespedes," and highlights JT Realmuto's costly baserunning mistake and a Marlins triple play. Also, John Harbaugh reacts to Cam Skattebo's backflip, JJ Watt points fingers at Pat McAfee amid ongoing ESPN and NFL Network layoffs, and Gio ponders when the newly released Bart Scott will return to WFAN.

Today's show kicks off with Gio and Boomer spotting themselves on Netflix's Quarterback, debating NFL head coach and quarterback dynamics, and digesting ESPN layoff drama, all before Gio details his anxiety over taking his mom to a Broadway play. The guys dive into big headlines as Tom Brady teams up with WWE, LeBron James rumors swirl around Miami, and the Mets capture a win behind big Luis Robert Jr. homers and a bizarre "ruptured testicle" saga that sparked a legendary call from Reggie in Queens. Rounding out the morning, the crew breaks down WFAN's big move to SiriusXM in September, John Harbaugh's reaction to Cam Skattebo's backflip, Patrick Mahomes' return timeline, and Jay Feely's primary victory before taking callers on every wild topic of the day.

The Mets make their way to Milwaukee for the first of three against the Brewers and before both sides kick things off against the familiar faces Keith Raad met with Andy Green to discuss Luis Robert Jr.'s return along with the big pitching matchup for tonight's game.

The Yankees remain stuck in an offensive collapse, leaving Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to debate whether Aaron Boone should make a drastic lineup change, whether Cody Bellinger can recover, and why selling at the deadline would still be a mistake in a vulnerable American League. The conversation also turns to the Mets and the painful alternate realities surrounding their lost season. From the failed Luis Robert Jr. gamble and Francisco Lindor trade speculation to the lasting regret of letting Zack Wheeler leave for Philadelphia, the frustration surrounding both New York teams continues to grow.

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day, Mets fans.Because of course the annual Bobby Bo check arrives right as the 2026 Mets fully turn into a circus with cleats.This week on The Put it in the Books Show – S9 E11, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down a Mets team that has gone from “consistently inconsistent” to “somebody please grab a helmet.”Carlos Mendoza is out after the Mets dropped to 34-47 and got swept by the Cubs in an ugly, error-filled mess. Andy Green takes over as interim manager, while Steve Cohen says David Stearns is safe through 2028. So the dugout took the hit, but the front office is still holding the clipboard. Interesting.The sell-mode talk is getting louder too. David Peterson has already been traded to the Cubs, Lindor is back from the IL, Ronny Mauricio has been reinstated but sent to Triple-A, Luis Robert Jr. has started his rehab assignment, and Clay Holmes is moving toward a bullpen session. Help is coming. Maybe. Eventually. Probably with paperwork.The losing didn't slow down in Toronto either. The Mets dropped today's game to lose 2 of 3 to the Blue Jays, because apparently one series loss wasn't enough — they needed to make sure the sadness cleared customs too.On the bright side, Nolan McLean keeps giving Mets fans dangerous ace thoughts, while Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing keep pushing the “play the kids” agenda. Just don't Gregg Jefferies everybody before Labor Day.Next up: 3 in Atlanta against the Braves, then back home for 3 against the Royals and 3 against the Red Sox before the All-Star break. And that Put it in the Books Show goal of getting back to .500 by the break? Yeah… they are falling well short unless they suddenly turn into the '86 Mets overnight.Baseball. Sarcasm. Bobby Bo checks. Manager firings. Stearns heat. Sell-mode panic. McLean hope. Knicks championship joy. Another Mets July group therapy session.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

The Mets returned home to Citi Field and immediately got smacked around by the Cardinals, because apparently feeling decent about this team for more than 48 hours is illegal. They did manage to salvage the finale this afternoon with a 5-4 win, so congratulations, everybody — the parade route has been downgraded from “season is over” to “still annoying, but technically breathing.”This week on The Put it in the Books Show – S9 E10, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down a Mets team that continues to scream one thing louder than anything else: the strategy needs a serious revamp.Let's start with David Peterson. He's been bad. Not “maybe unlucky” bad. Not “let's look at the peripherals” bad. Just bad. Farace is ready to DFA him yesterday, Rodriguez is probably going to try to explain why that's extreme, and Producer Joe may just hit the soundboard until the segment ends. At some point, enough is enough. This team is trying to climb back into relevance, not host open auditions for batting practice pitchers.The injury updates are a mixed bag, because of course they are. Kodai Senga had another setback, although it appears minor. Lindor seems close, but there's still no clean finish line. Polanco and Luis Robert Jr.? Not close. Robert is just now starting to play catch, which is great if this were March. It is not March.But hey, Francisco Alvarez is back way earlier than expected from a torn meniscus and already homered, because apparently catchers are now healing faster than Mets relievers can find the strike zone. That's huge. This lineup needs attitude, power, and somebody who actually looks like he enjoys big moments.And then there's Carson Benge, who keeps showing off the full toolbox — power, glove, arm, speed, confidence, the whole thing. The kid looks like he belongs. So here's a wild thought: play the rookies. Build the second-half team around the young guys who are actually healthy, hungry, and giving this team a pulse. Shut down the injured players who clearly aren't right. Stop trying to force a broken roster to act like it's whole.This Mets team is built more like a small-ball, pressure, speed, defense, chaos team — so maybe stop pretending it's a lineup full of monsters waiting to hit five-run homers. Play the game your roster is built for. Build a .500 team with the kids, then sprinkle in the big names like Lindor, Soto, and Bichette when they're actually right and ready to help.The Braves come to town next, which is always peaceful and relaxing and never triggers Mets fans at all. After that, the Mets hit the road for Cincinnati and Philadelphia, because apparently the schedule looked at this team and said, “You know what they need? More stress.” And yes, before anyone asks, Farace is still finding a way to squeeze in a Let's Go Knicks because the Knicks are one win from a championship and he is absolutely not emotionally stable enough to separate sports right now.And let's not forget the Put it in the Books Show goal: get back to .500 by the All-Star break. Right now, the Mets are still 8 games under, so there's work to do. A lot of work. Like “stop losing series to teams you should beat” work. The goal is still possible, but it's getting harder every time this team plays like it's allergic to momentum.Baseball. Sarcasm. Roster rage. Rookie optimism. Peterson slander. Braves hate. A random Let's Go Knicks. And one very simple message:Play the kids. Get healthy. Get to .500. Stop making us insane.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the Knicks' potential Eastern Conference Finals path, debating whether Cleveland or Detroit would be the more dangerous opponent. The conversation centers on confidence in the Knicks, skepticism around James Harden, and why home court advantage could make Cleveland the preferred matchup. The guys also react to early Giants schedule leaks, including back to back primetime games to open the season, and discuss why the national spotlight raises the stakes for Big Blue. Plus, they touch on A.J. Ewing's opportunity with the Mets, Luis Robert Jr.'s uncertain status, umpire sensitivity around ABS challenges, and concerns about Austin Wells and the Yankees lineup.

Boomer and Gio debate the skepticism surrounding the Knicks, while a caller questions an injured AJ Minter's golf outings and Boomer proposes ‘flattening first base' to prevent injuries. Jerry details the Mets' win over the Tigers, featuring AJ Ewing's impressive debut, though Francisco Alvarez's knee injury and a grim update from David Stearns on Luis Robert Jr. dampen the mood. The Yanks topped the Orioles behind a Trent Grisham home run, Anthony Volpe made his return, and Luke Combs shockingly brought life to the viral 'Puerto Rico Song' that nobody else liked.

Jerry has all the sounds of the Mets beating the Tigers. AJ Ewing had a great debut, but Francisco Alvarez got hurt and will need an MRI on his knee. David Stearns gave an update on Luis Robert Jr. and it doesn't sound good. The Yankees beat the Orioles as Trent Grisham had a 3-run HR. Anthony Volpe is back with the Yankees.

Tyler Glasnow is pitching like an absolute ace, but his history of back issues and a current workload of 140 projected innings make him the ultimate sell-high candidate. Joe and Corey debate whether to flip him now for a slow-starting superstar before the inevitable injury risk catches up to his elite surface stats. The waiver wire is filled with multi-positional assets this week, including Casey Schmidt, Brooks Lee, and Andrew Vaughn. The guys also look at Brice Matthews, Bryson Stott, and pitchers Payton Tolle and Max Meyer, though they question if these arms are being overlooked in too many leagues. Agustin Ramirez is officially this week's rage drop after being sent down to Triple-A to work on his defense. Other drops discussed include Jung Hoo Lee, Tanner Bibee, and Emmet Sheehan, with the hosts noting that Sheehan's increased home run rate and hard contact make him someone else's problem. Rankings risers are led by Brandon Marsh, Jordan Walker, and Mickey Moniak, while Jack Perkins is surging as the potential new lockdown closer for the Athletics. Fallers include Rafael Devers, Luis Robert Jr., Joe Ryan, Spencer Strider, and Bubba Chandler, who is struggling significantly with his command. In the trade market, Corey Seager and Logan Webb stand out as premier buy-low targets despite their slow starts. Eury Perez remains an upside play, while Oneil Cruz and Justin Wrobleski join Glasnow as players to move now while their value is peaking.

Tyler Glasnow left his start after just one inning with back tightness, and Cole Ragens was pulled after 3 IP with a 3 mph velo drop and left tricep/elbow soreness. Both situations are worth monitoring closely heading into the weekend, and Joe Bond has the fantasy fallout on today's episode. Joe runs through the Rankings Risers and Fallers, with Brandon Marsh, Jordan Walker, Mickey Moniak, and Jack Perkins trending up, while Zach Neto, Luis Robert Jr., Joe Ryan, Spencer Strider, and Bubba Chandler are trending down. Rafael Devers shows up on both sides of the ledger. On Studs and Duds, Andy Pages, Marcus Semien, Rafael Devers, Andrew Vaughn, Jack Flaherty, Bryan Woo, Paul Skenes, and Shane McClanahan stood out, while Munetaka Murakami, Bryce Eldridge, Teoscar Hernandez, and Gunnar Henderson had rough outings. Today's FanDuel Bet of the Day features Nico Hoerner at 2+ Hits, Runs, and RBI at -160, or the longer shot at 3+ for +140.

Jerry's here with the sounds of the A's beating the Yankees. The Yanks only had 4 hits. We heard Howie Rose on the call as Luis Robert Jr dropped a fly ball in the Mets loss. We also heard from Carlos Mendoza and David Peterson after the game. Kirk Cousins met the media and Gio called him ‘a refreshing type of man'.

The start of the 2026 Major League Baseball season is less than a week away, which means it's time to make one bold prediction for every team. While a lot of these picks may seem far-fetched—like Giancarlo Stanton stealing a base for the New York Yankees or Luis Robert Jr. leading the New York Mets in WAR—some of these might actually come to fruition. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about their picks for the American and National League teams, which include Edwin Díaz possibly reaching the 50-save mark in his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Garrett Crochet reaching the 230-inning mark for the Boston Red Sox. Also, is there a chance the Pope will be at a Chicago White Sox game this season? And will Mike Trout win another MVP award? Later, Jake and Jordan take a look at which baseball players you should consider drafting for your upcoming fantasy season and why it might be best to consider fading Francisco Lindor, Corbin Carroll and Cal Raleigh. They then make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla, which includes the disappointing news that Trey Yesavage and the Toronto Blue Jays just received. 1:54 - The Opener: 2026 bold predictions 4:57 - AL East 13:38 - AL Central 23:11 - AL West 34:05 - NL East 42:31 - NL Central 48:51 - NL West 59:30 - Players you need for fantasy baseball 1:17:22 - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
