Take 10 with 10 – September 11, 2026 @ 9:15 am – 1 hour, max1.Shohei Ohtani hits the IL with his knee and bicep that have been problematic since June. He'll be out of the lineup until at least the end of the month. a.The Dodgers have one 7 in a row and nine up in the loss column over the Padres. Do we see Ohtani in the regular season again?b.With what we know now, do you drop him in leagues that do not have Injury rosters?c.Uber prospect Josue De Paula gets the call and is a must-add in all leagues. At least I think so; does he get enough at-bats to matter?2.Let's look at the standings.3.Here are 10 players who've had a great second half. How will you think of them coming into next season's drafts? Maybe a round or round range, or move up on your list, etc…1)Fernando Tatis - .299 BA, 15 HR, 9 SB, 37 RBI2)Rafael Devers - .276 BA, 16 HR, 40 RBI3)Steven Kwan - .353 BA, 1 hit, 3 SB – at least he started hitting, not much else though.4)Jac Caglianone - .328 BA, 8 HR, 3 SB, but only 5 walks in 161 Pas5)Henry Bolte - .293 BA, 7 HR, 8 SB6)Cal Raleigh - .204 BA, 12 HR, 30 SB7)Payton Tolle – 53.0 IP, 3.23 ERA, 72K/12BB8)Reid Detmers – 53.1 IP, 1.37 ERA, 68K/10BB9)Brandon Pfaadt – 63.2 IP, 2.54 ERA, 36K/11BB – only 5 K/910)Logan Henderson – 55.1 IP, 1.95 ERA, 59K/7BB4.Kade Anderson picked up his first win. What have you thought about his MLB debut so far – 21 IP, 4.29 ERA, 16K/8BB, 4.01 xERAa.Is he a guy to target for 2027?5.One thing that happened over our week off was the Orioles signed Luis Robert Jr. after the Mets cut him. It cost them $4 million for the month. They consequently lost five games in a row, and then LRJ was put on the IL.a.Is he done in fantasy managers' eyes, or will somebody take a flyer on him in 2027?b.Fun fact – Do you know that the Orioles paid Chris Davis $3.5 million in deferred compensation in 2026?i.He'll be paid $3.5 million until 2032 and $1.7 million until 2037. He last played in 2020.c.Fun fact 2 – They also paid Bobby Bonilla $500,000. He has a 25-year deferred compensation agreement that ran from 2004 until 2028. Not as bad as the Mets deal. To remind everyone on the Mets deal:i.The Mets agreed to defer 5.9 million of Bonilla's contract for 10 years with an 8% interest rate. The $5.9 million turned into $29.8 million, and the famous amount of $1,193,249.20 is paid out from 2011 to 2035. The Wilpon's and the Mets made the high-interest deal because they talked to their financial advisor, legendary criminal Bernie Madoff, who said he could easily earn double that interest amount, so the Mets made the deal. It clearly did not work out for the Wilpon's and the Mets. You can't make this stuff up.d.Fun fact 3 – There was a lot written about Bernie Madoff and several movies. While everyone knows about the crime and the ensuing drama, the final recovery was announced just last month, and victims got 94% of their actual cash losses. Not trying to downplay the event, but the good news is that most people got back a least the money they invested – nobody will do a movie about that.6.What one hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?7.What one pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
On The Wire Episode 266 — FAAB 25 (Sunday, September 6, 2026)Adam and Kevin work through a roster-expansion-heavy news day — IL moves, call-ups, and DFAs across the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Pirates, Cubs, Angels, Mets, Dodgers, Orioles, Padres, Nationals, and Mariners — before getting into hitters (power, speed, opportunity) and pitchers (volume, ratios, saves) with only three FAAB periods left in the season. A recurring theme is stat-category tunnel vision down the stretch: drop anyone you can't use this week, target cellar-dwelling offenses like the Angels for pitching streams, and pick your spots by ballpark and schedule rather than name value. Kevin closes with a reminder to map out matchups two to three weeks ahead and start trimming bench pitchers you won't actually use.Welcome and News 0:00-15:00Yankees place Trent Grisham on the IL with a hamstring injury, call up Jasson Domínguez, as Aaron Judge nears a return next weekPlayers Discussed: Trent Grisham, Jasson Domínguez, Aaron Judge, Spencer Jones, George Lombard Jr.Yankees keep rolling three catchers with no clear timeshare changePlayers Discussed: Austin Wells, Alí Sánchez, Ben RiceRed Sox activate Trevor Story and Roman Anthony, option Anthony Seigler and Mickey Gasper, then bring Gasper right back up when Wilson Contreras hits the ILPlayers Discussed: Trevor Story, Roman Anthony, Anthony Seigler, Mickey Gasper, Willson ContrerasRays lose Shane McClanahan to the IL again with forearm tightness, and closer Bryan Baker exits Friday's outing with an illness scare as Tyler Wells covers the savePlayers Discussed: Shane McClanahan, Bryan Baker, Tyler WellsPirates activate rookie Konnor Griffin, DFA Christian Bethancourt to make roomPlayers Discussed: Konnor Griffin, Christian BethancourtCubs lose Ben Brown for the rest of the season with a neck injury, with Edward Cabrera nearing a return for bullpen dutyPlayers Discussed: Ben Brown, Edward Cabrera, Matthew Boyd, Colin Rea, Kevin Gausman, Jameson Taillon, Clay Holmes, Jacob Webb, Daniel PalenciaAngels' Luis Rengifo out for the season with an ACL tear and MCL sprainPlayers Discussed: Luis RengifoMets tentatively hoping Jonah Tong returns for a rotation spot start next week, with a possible two-start week to followPlayers Discussed: Jonah TongMore News 15:00-35:00Dodgers get healthy all at once — call up Alex Freeland, activate Will Smith, Justin Wrobleski, and Dalton Rushing off the IL, and DFA Alek Thomas and Ben RortvedtPlayers Discussed: Alex Freeland, Will Smith, Justin Wrobleski, Dalton Rushing, Alek Thomas, Ben RortvedtShohei Ohtani working back from a few days off as Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland's emergence lets Tommy Edman slide to the outfield, and Hunter Feduccia (not Rushing) backs up Will SmithPlayers Discussed: Shohei Ohtani, Miguel Rojas, Alex Freeland, Tommy Edman, Hunter Feduccia, Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Enrique HernándezOrioles claim Luis Robert Jr. Jr. off waivers from the Mets and add Heston Kjerstad, crowding an already deep outfieldPlayers Discussed: Luis Robert Jr., Heston Kjerstad, Colton Cowser, Dylan BeaversPadres call up catching phenom Ethan Salas as part of their roster expansionPlayers Discussed: Ethan Salas, Freddy Fermin, Luis CampusanoNationals call up power-hitting prospect Yohandy Morales, muddying the first base/DH picturePlayers Discussed: Yohandy Morales, Abimelec Ortiz, Andrés ChaparroMariners finally call up top prospect Lazaro Montes as rosters expandPlayers Discussed: Lazaro MontesEmerson Hancock hits the IL, Nick Davila is recalled to the bullpen, and Bryce Miller gets another rotation look over Ryan SloanPlayers Discussed: Emerson Hancock, Nick Davila, Bryce Miller, Ryan SloanMontes has started three of his first five games and appears to be pushing Taylor Ward into the short side of a platoonPlayers Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Taylor WardFAAB Recommendations, Hitters 35:00-45:00Power (RBI, HR)Players Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Mickey Gasper, Sean Murphy, Andy Ibáñez, Shay WhitcombSpeed (R, SB)Players Discussed: Dustin Harris, Richie Palacios, Tyler TolbertOpportunity (AB, AVG)Players Discussed: Dane Myers, Carlos Cortes, Denzel Clarke, Jeff McNeilFAAB Recommendations, Pitchers 45:00-1:00:00Volume (W, K)Players Discussed: Cade Cavalli, Taj Bradley, Bailey Ober, Joe Ryan, Quinn Mathews, Connor Prielipp, Grayson Rodriguez, Jack Kochanowicz, Andre PallanteRatios (ERA, WHIP)Players Discussed: Nate Lavender, Brooks Raley, Brock Stewart, Edgardo HenriquezClosers (Saves)Players Discussed: Calvin Faucher, Hunter Gaddis, Cade Smith, Kenley Jansen, Justin Martinez, Juan Morillo, Brandyn GarciaWild Card and Closing Advice 1:00:00-1:05:00Wild card stash: Adael Amador's shortened, more compact swing in Colorado's ten-game homestandPlayers Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Adael AmadorMap out schedules two weeks aheadJoin Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On Tuesday, the baseball world was shocked to learn that longtime Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno had agreed to sell the franchise to Stan Kroenke, and fans of the Halos are ecstatic.

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'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.
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.
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 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.
