Pirates reporter Colin Beazley from the PG joined the show. Colin labeled Esmerlyn Valdez as ‘untouchable' ahead of the trade deadline and said he wouldn't part with really anyone on the Major League roster right now. Colin mentioned that a Mason Miller trade would likely include a big-money player from the Padres that they are looking to move in order to free up money. How can the Pirates add to the roster without adding much in terms of payroll? Colin's guess is that Luke Weaver will be the Pirates main target at the trade deadline. Colin thinks the next 2 weeks could be the final days of Dennis Santana in a Pirates uniform.

The Pirates took 2 of 3 over the weekend in Cleveland. Saturday night left a sour taste after the Pirates blew another game, but the response on Sunday may have fixed all of that for people. The Buccos are tied for a playoff spot entering play today. What were the highlights from this series? Poni bragged about his harness race victory on Saturday. Yesterday will be remembered as the Billy Cook game. Which team from the National League is the biggest threat to the Pirates in the wild card race?

Will the Pirates be buyers or sellers? We think they will be buyers. Donny thinks Mason Miller is unrealistic. Donny is not trading Seth Hernandez. Yahoo Sports thinks it would take a top 100 prospect to acquire Luke Weaver, plus two relievers who could backfill Weaver next season. Can Paul Skenes return to his elite status? Can the offense keep this up? What will Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz look like they they're back? What happens with the young pitchers? 

Giant Mess podcast host. Neal Lynch is breaking down the turbulent and largely disappointing 2026 season for the New York Mets up to the All-Star Break. From a disastrous 10-21 start in April to a brief glimmer of hope in May, it has been a rough ride that culminated in a major collapse and the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza in June. We discuss the standout performances from rookies Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing, plus Juan Soto carrying the offense and earning a starting nod in the 2026 All-Star Game. However, with a 40-57 record at the break, baffling mental errors on the basepaths, and Little League-level defense, the Mets have their worst halfway record since 2018. Join us as we explore the looming August 3 trade deadline and whether the front office will sell off pieces like Freddy Peralta, Luke Weaver, and impending free agents like Brooks Raley. We also cover the struggles and staggering strikeout rates of major additions like Bo Bichette, Steve Cohen's confidence in President of Baseball Operations David Stearns, and what the rest of this season holds for interim manager Andy Green.#mets #nymets #newyorkmets #mlb #baseball #carlosmendoza #juansoto #franciscolindor #mlbtradedeadline #mlbtraderumors #davidstearns #stevecohen #metsbaseball NY Mets Fan Rants & Analysis - https://bit.ly/MetsYTPlaylist Movie Reviews - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories -  https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Neal Lynch is the creator and host of Giant Mess, a podcast blending sports commentary, pop culture analysis, and storytelling.

Jeff had a great call yesterday from someone suggesting transitioning Oneil Cruz from an outfielder to a pitcher. The guys are very happy that the All-Star Break is over and the nightmare of no sports will end. If the Pirates win 86 games and miss the playoffs would fans be satisfied? Dorin says he wouldn't be. He says that would irritate Pirates fans because they didn't address the issues early enough and put themselves in completely avoidable situations. I say I would be satisfied. Crowley agrees with Dorin. I am wrong. Not making the playoffs is the be-all and end-all. We're onto the second half of the Pirates season. If the Pirates don't make the playoffs but have a better record, Ben Cherington will definitely say "We made strides," which will anger Crowley. Crowley is also not up to date on pop culture and a recent New York Post headline has him very confused. Crowley has a bone to pick with the NHL and MLB. Both sports released their schedules on the same day. What were they thinking? Crowley gets more info on the Jelly Roll and his divorce. I give them some scouting reports on Mets pitchers available after last night's report that said the Mets firesale is upon us. Huscar Brazoban, Luke Weaver, and Clay Holmes should be the targets for the Pirates. We are a couple of weeks away from the trade deadline. I asked Dorin what is the best leftover food. I think it is Chinese food, Dorin says it is Japanese, and Crowley says anything rice based is good leftover food. Mall food court Chinese food is a dying art

As the All-Star week wraps up and the 2nd half is set to get underway, Colton and Joe need to hand out some first half grades for the Mariners. With the trade deadline coming up, Mariners trade rumors are going to heating up and maybe the winds of the first rumor ahs begun with Mets reliever Luke Weaver.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber examine the difficult decisions facing the Mets as the trade deadline approaches. They debate which players could attract meaningful offers, whether Luke Weaver is too valuable to move, and how the organization can turn a disappointing season into future progress. The conversation shifts to frustration over afternoon World Cup matches and the challenge of following major games during the workday. Shaun and Tiki also revisit memorable social media takes from familiar WFAN personalities in another edition of Posted and Toasted.

The Mets head into the All-Star break with plenty to discuss, and we're breaking down everything from the organization's failures, top performances and everything in between.This week, we dive into Zach Thornton's impressive showing before the break and what it could mean for the Mets' future. We also discuss the recent rumors surrounding Francisco Alvarez and whether New York should seriously entertain trade interest. Has Clay Holmes earned himself a contract extension? We examine what a new deal might look like and if the pro's outweigh a potential trade.Plus, we put together some Luke Weaver mock trades, evaluate the Mets' 2026 MLB Draft class, and hand out our first-half player grades for the biggest names on the roster. Who exceeded expectations, who disappointed, and who has the most to prove after the break?Join us for another packed episode featuring analysis, debate, trade talk, and everything Mets fans need heading into the unofficial second half of the season.

The Mets enter the break buried in frustration after another costly mistake from Francisco Lindor and another late collapse from Devin Williams. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether Luke Weaver should immediately become the closer, whether he should be traded, and which young players offer any real hope for the future. The Yankees provide a more encouraging story after four straight wins and a weekend filled with late comebacks. Shaun and Tiki discuss whether the lineup is learning to survive without Aaron Judge, why the offense still feels incomplete, and how the tightening race with the Rays and Red Sox could shape the second half.

The Mets have reached the point where every mistake feels like a summary of their season. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber break down another painful collapse, Francisco Lindor's costly error, Devin Williams' struggles, and why Luke Weaver may be the most important bullpen decision coming out of the All Star break. They also examine the Yankees' four game winning streak, the urgency of getting Aaron Judge back, and whether a deeper lineup and reordered bullpen can carry New York into October. Plus, Tiki weighs in on Geno Smith and the Jets as the show searches for optimism during a frustrating New York sports summer.

Hour 5: Yankees first half review and two Mets Tommy wants back for 2027 and beyond. Drawing parallels between Conor McGregor and Mike Tyson. Luke Weaver deserved to be an All-Star.

We start with the strange spot New York baseball is in, the looming lockout for next season, and pitchers coming out of games with no-hitters and perfect games, leading to a disagreement over whether Johan Santana ruined his career with his no-hitter. Next, ahead of C-Lo's final update, we hear Jerry Blevins' fake PSA for Luke Weaver to get to the All-Star Game and a Mike Francesa clip from when the Mets made Phil Regan pitching coach at 82, replayed because he passed away. Finally, after a Moment of the Day considering if Al should have a baby, Yousef joins the show to talk about today's World Cup matchup between Morocco and France.

We hear Jerry Blevins' fake PSA for Luke Weaver to get to the All Star Game. We heard Mike Francesa back when the Mets made Phil Regan the pitching coach at 82 (he passed away so we played it). The Moment of The Day: Maybe AL should have a baby.

Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joins!! Jared Jones was efficient and in command against Atlanta. Jeff thinks the Pirates should have saved Carmen Mlodzinski for Jared Jones' outing after going up by a significant amount. Jeff thinks the offense isn't going to be the same with these injuries. Jeff Passan thinks Garrett Whitlock is the best match for the Pirates but Luke Weaver is the dream match. Mitch Keller is struggling against lefties.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Jeff Hathhorn: Jared Jones was efficient and in command against Atlanta. Jeff thinks the Pirates should have saved Carmen Mlodzinski for Jared Jones' outing after going up by a significant amount. Jeff Passan thinks Garrett Whitlock is the best match for the Pirates but Luke Weaver is the dream match. Jeff Hathhorn thinks the No. 1 story at training camp is Joey Porter Jr. We don't think the Pirates will pitch a complete game.

The New York Yankees rotation took a massive hit as left-hander Carlos Rodón was placed on the injured list with severe elbow inflammation, projecting an absence that will stretch into mid-August. Corey Pieper breaks down a devastating AL East injury timeline, shifting league discipline, crucial backend bullpen targets, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction wire is hyperactive heading into the All-Star break as Cade Cavalli's suspension has officially been reduced to 5 games on appeal, allowing him to begin serving his time immediately. Meanwhile, Patrick Sandoval has been fully reinstated from the injured list, and George Springer has returned to the team from family medical leave, though he remained out of the starting lineup in his first game back. Roster managers must track a highly volatile day of performances that featured Tyler Tolbert exploding for a perfect 5-for-5 game with a home run, while modern juggernauts Shohei Ohtani and Matt Olson continued their steady power surges, alongside dynamic offensive showings from James Wood, Curtis Mead, CJ Abrams, Jose Caballero, Juan Soto, and Heliot Ramos. On the mound, Cam Schlittler delivered a masterful 8-inning, 8-strikeout gem, Landen Roupp turned in an 8-inning showcase of his own, and Brandon Pfaadt tossed 5 scoreless frames. Conversely, it was a historical implosion for frontline starters: Cristopher Sanchez collapsed for 9 earned runs in just 3.1 innings, Mike Burrows surrendered 10 total runs, and veteran arms Kevin Gausman and Walker Buehler were hammered for a combined 11 earned runs. Offensively, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with matching, empty 0-for-4, 3-strikeout nights. The Bullpen Report provides essential waiver-wire clarity, highlighting Tyler Wells ramping up in Baltimore, Jacob Webb securing the most recent save for the Cubs, and Emilio Pagan making his return to Cincinnati. We also review a rough outing for Raisel Iglesias and why Yankees high-leverage option Luke Weaver needs to be universally owned right now.

The Pirates have operated under one clear assumption: stay in the race, then fix the bullpen at the trade deadline. But what if the help they need is not actually out there? On today's OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at a crowded deadline market, the lack of obvious sellers, and why relievers like Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Whitlock, Luke Weaver, Félix Bautista, Jason Adam, A.J. Minter, Kirby Yates, Kyle Finnegan and others may either cost too much or simply not be realistic fits. The Pirates need external bullpen help if they want to make the postseason, but this market could make that much harder than expected.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Matt Clement: What's a realistic contract for Brandon Lowe? Poni thinks eight-years, $200 million but we don't think there's any chance. Matt Clement says four-years, $115-120 million is what Lowe would ask for. Jim Bowden said he thinks Luke Weaver is a fascinating pitcher the Pirates could acquire and Matt pointed to the same player. Harry Callas called in to share his story of catching and facing Mason Miller.

Jim Bowden said he thinks Luke Weaver is a fascinating pitcher the Pirates could acquire and Matt Clement pointed to the same player. Weaver was a closer for the Yankees last year and signed with the Mets on a two-year contract. He has a 1.95 ERA in 35 games. Harry Callas called in to share his story of catching and facing Mason Miller.

Chris McMonigle dissects the controversy surrounding the USA versus Belgium match, specifically the political intervention to overturn a red card and the perceived corruption in soccer's stoppage time. He transitions to the Yankees' struggles, evaluating the decision to bench Anthony Volpe and the dire need for a catching upgrade.

PG columnist Noah Hiles joined the show. Jim Bowden wrote that the Pirates are a great fit for Mets setup man Luke Weaver, who is having an outstanding year. Noah says that this is something that he could see happening, but doesn't know if going all-in on one reliever is a good idea. He thinks that the Pirates are better suited for two above-average arms. Noah thinks that barring a complete collapse, Brandon Lowe will be here for the remainder of the season. He doesn't think that Lowe will get retained after this season, however.

Baseball writer John Perrotto joined the show. John believes that the Mets fire sale is real and that they actually will try to trade all their relievers on expiring deals. He is not sure if the Mets will trade Luke Weaver due to the fact that he is under contract for another year after this one. John thinks that the Pirates might be hanging onto Marcell Ozuna because they don't want to make Oneil Cruz upset by releasing him.

Rich Gannon, a former NFL MVP, said that if he had Mike McCarthy for the first half of his career, it would've been different because McCarthy made him a better player. Does this give you confidence that McCarthy can turn Allar into a good QB? Baseball writer John Perrotto joined the show.

Joe Block was very excited after Brandon Lowe's homer to make it 9-4 Pirates yesterday. Poni is very fired up about Lowe getting snubbed from the All-Star game, and admits that he is not sure why that is. Poni also mentions that none of the 4 guys on the show today actually placed an all-star vote for Lowe, so we can't really complain. PG columnist Noah Hiles joined the show.

The New York Mets tied up the series at one a piece after Mark Vientos drove in three runs and Luke Weaver saved the day with bases loaded in the 7th and no outs. Can the Mets beat up on the young Elmer Rodriguez and win the rubber game? Spoiler alert! No, but what happened instead was just as good!P.S.

Jerry starts with Knicks highlights and Mike Brown in the postgame about the dominant performance. We heard from some of the Hawks players after the game. We heard the sounds of the Sixers beating the Celtics to force a game 7, Howie Rose on the call as the Nationals homered to take the 5-4 lead, which is how the Mets game ended. We heard from Luke Weaver after the game and he was very philosophical about the ‘pursuit of perfection'.

Listen to Mike Breen as the first half comes to an end with the Knicks up 83-36. We heard from Mike Brown after the game and he wanted to give the coaches credit. Jerry also went around the NBA last night. The Mets lost again and we heard Gary Cohen on the call as CJ Abrams homered. After the game Luke Weaver said his words don't hold any weight any more. Jerry went around the NHL playoffs.

We kick off with the Knicks' historic destruction of the Hawks, a blowout so lopsided it featured a 72-22 lead and sent New York to wait for a Celtics-Sixers Game 7. Jerry's update covers Mike Brown's postgame reaction, the Sixers forcing their series limit, and the Mets' 5-4 loss to the Nationals featuring a philosophical Luke Weaver. We wrap with the breaking update on a JP Morgan scandal, now being labeled a "complete fabrication" by the New York Post.

We track a caller's obsession with the Russini-Vrabel saga and clarify that Chris Simms' exit from Sunday Night Football wasn't tied to his comments on that situation. Jerry features Mike Breen's call of the Knicks' historic 83-36 halftime lead, Mike Brown's praise for his staff, and a full NBA playoff roundup. We revisit the Mets' latest loss to the Nationals, from CJ Abrams' game-winner to Luke Weaver's heavy post-game words, followed by an NHL check-in. Finally, we break down the Knicks' path forward and hear a caller's theory on why letting go of secondary coaches has doomed the Mets.

Opening Day is here, but it does not quite feel like it. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into why the usual excitement feels muted, from the extra-early start to the season to a marquee game happening 3,000 miles away instead of in New York. They unpack how much of baseball's magic comes from the build-up around the ballpark and why that atmosphere is hard to replicate when the action feels distant and unfamiliar. The conversation also zeroes in on the fan experience at Citi Field, with questions around parking, tailgating, and how construction could impact the home opener. From there, the discussion shifts into a sharp Mets bullpen debate, including a bold prediction that Devin Williams may not hold onto the closer role and that Luke Weaver could emerge as a surprise late-inning favorite.

A brand new weekly segment is born: “Are You Kidding Me?” where the show rounds up the dumbest sports opinions from around the station and crowns a winner. The inaugural list comes in hot. It starts with Boomer's take on an Olympic athlete feeling conflicted about representing Team USA, and a bigger debate about whether fans can say “keep politics out of sports” while still celebrating icons like Muhammad Ali. From there it gets even more ridiculous: Keith McPherson going after Luke Weaver for showing up to Mets camp with Yankees gear, Tommy's “Aaron Judge is the best right fielder in New York sports” line, and Craig Carton going full scorched earth by calling for LeBron James to be suspended for sitting out. Then it turns into a full-blown trial about what actually counts as a “real sports opinion” when Sean Morash's Brian Cashman wardrobe rant becomes the lightning rod. The crew argues, votes get disputed, and callers jump in to break the tie as the segment goes off the rails in the best way.

The final hour of Evan & Tiki opens with spring training controversy as Yankees fans erupt over Mets pitcher Luke Weaver arriving at camp with a Yankees bag, sparking a broader debate on why the Yankees get mocked more than any team in sports. The guys react to Isiah Kiner-Falefa's comments about preferring to face the Yankees in the playoffs, discuss institutionalized Yankee hate, and whether it's earned. Then the show pivots to the NFL with a deep dive into Deshaun Watson's future after his remaining lawsuits are dismissed, including a heated debate on whether the Jets should take a flier on the former elite quarterback versus pursuing Derek Carr. Calls pour in on reputation, risk, and what Jets fans are willing to tolerate. Plus, Knicks talk featuring Josh Hart's refreshing self-awareness, breaking Mets bullpen news, Justin Verlander returning to Detroit, and a critical Yankees discussion on Anthony Volpe, service time manipulation, and why fans may not see him for a while. Classic Evan & Tiki chaos to close out the show.

In the final hour of the show, Evan, Tiki, and Sean look ahead to next year by predicting the matchup for Super Bowl 61 in Los Angeles. The guys break down the current betting odds, debate whether the Baltimore Ravens are the team to beat in the AFC, and discuss if the Washington Commanders or Dallas Cowboys are legitimate NFC contenders. Plus, the crew reacts to the shocking news of Adam Gase returning to the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers and tackles the "controversy" surrounding Mets pitcher Luke Weaver showing up to Spring Training with a Yankees bag.
