The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their fourth straight game as their slide continued against the New York Mets. Carmen Mlodzinski struggled in his return to the starting rotation, allowing five earned runs over three innings, while the Pirates offense once again had major problems against a left-handed starter. DiNardo and Jim break down Mlodzinski's outing and debate whether the Pirates need to use an opener the next time he takes the mound. They also discuss another dominant performance from Yohan Ramirez, Luke Weaver's Pirates debut, Ronnie Simon providing a spark, and playoff odds that have now fallen to just 10.3%.

Griffin Warner talks betting on Friday. Griffin Warner runs through a stacked Friday, August 7 Major League Baseball slate on Episode 80 of What I Bet, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast feed, breaking down all 11 games at a moment when several rotations are still shifting in the wake of the trade deadline. He opens with the Mets sending Zach Thornton to Pittsburgh against Carmen Mlodzinski, reading the heavy under juice on the eight and a half total as a sign the market expects a Pirates bullpen game, especially with new arm Luke Weaver now closing and Mets closer Devin Williams sitting the last two nights. Griffin leans toward New York at plus 129 and likes the over, suggesting patience for a push to eight. He then covers Jose Soriano's Blue Jays debut against Zach Wheeler and the Phillies, preferring the Toronto run line at plus one and a half over the moneyline, and the first five under four and a half. Tyler Mahle's first start for the Braves against former teammate Max Fried in the Bronx draws Griffin's trust in the Atlanta bullpen despite a modest season, landing on the Braves at plus 134 and the under eight. He gives a brief look at the Athletics visiting a red hot Red Sox club before diving into the Angels and Marlins, where he backs Tyler Phillips and multiple unders against a struggling Los Angeles lineup. The show's strongest opinion arrives with the Guardians visiting the White Sox, where Griffin fades Parker Messick despite respecting his stuff, pointing to Cleveland's shaky bullpen, poor defense, and inability to hit with runners on, and lands on Chicago at plus 122 with unders on both the full game and first five totals. He explains why the Twins overspent caution at the deadline on players like Dean Kremer even as Zebby Matthews starts in Milwaukee, builds a live number on air for Kevin Gausman and the Cubs visiting Daniel Lynch and the Royals, and gives quick reads on the Rockies at the Cardinals and the Orioles at the Rangers, a series carrying real American League wild card weight against Nathan Eovaldi. Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers traveling to face Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks brings out Griffin's long standing support for Kelly, who he calls himself a stan of, with the Dodgers bullpen still sorting out closer Edwin Diaz's role working in Arizona's favor. He closes his game by game breakdown with Robbie Ray's Padres debut against Ronel Blanco and the Astros, and a Rays and Mariners matchup between Drew Rasmussen and Logan Gilbert that he calls arguably the best pitching matchup of the night. Before locking in his official pick, Griffin shares a Pregame dot com promo code, hit fifty, good for fifty dollars off Major League Baseball Second Half All Access, which runs through the World Series and drops from 349 dollars to 299 dollars through August 10. His official What I Bet best bet of the episode is the San Diego Padres at minus 120 over the Houston Astros, citing Robbie Ray's strong recent form, a deep Padres bullpen, and doubts about Houston's offense beyond Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Pena. Throughout the episode Griffin threads in bigger picture storylines, from the Mets continuing to mash without Juan Soto to Cleveland's fall from first place, the Twins facing fan backlash over a quiet deadline, and a wide open American League wild card race where the Yankees and Red Sox look closer to locking up spots than everyone else chasing the final berth. It is a full rundown built for bettors looking for value across every window of the night, from first pitch runs to first five totals to closing numbers, delivered with the same mix of numbers and opinion that has made the show a daily stop for Major League Baseball bettors all season long, with new episodes covering every slate straight through the rest of the season and into the playoffs.

Pirates beat writer Kevin Gorman joins me for our weekly baseball podcast as the Pirates have fallen into last place with the Mets coming to town this weekend. We discuss missed opportunities at the trade deadline, Paul Skenes' problems, Nick Gonzlaes' issues; an underutilized Luke Weaver; and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Pittsburgh Pirates closed a disastrous road trip with a 5-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, dropping to 57-60 and back into last place. Nathan and Doug break down another lifeless offensive performance, costly baserunning mistakes from Endy Rodriguez and Nick Gonzales, the continued defensive problems at third base and an uneven start from Braxton Ashcraft. Brandon Lowe provided one of the few highlights by hitting his 24th home run, setting a franchise record for a Pirates second baseman. The deadline additions have done their jobs, but there have been no leads for Luke Weaver and the rebuilt bullpen to protect. With the offense collectively slumping and the team looking completely disengaged, can the Pirates find a pulse before the season slips away?

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash revisit their wildly inaccurate trade predictions, assess the prospect haul and explain why moving the expiring contracts made sense. The one deal Evan still cannot fully accept is Luke Weaver, a dependable reliever who could have helped a bullpen that must be rebuilt next season.
The Mets' trade-deadline bloodbath puts the finishing touch on one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the massive sell-off, why moving the expiring contracts made sense and why the Luke Weaver trade remains the most troubling decision.

The Pirates entered the trade deadline with one of baseball's biggest bullpen problems. They left it with Luke Weaver, Camilo Doval, Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar. Alex Stumpf breaks down how each addition fits, why the Pirates finally have legitimate high-leverage options and how the new group could remain together beyond this season. He also examines whether Pittsburgh focused too heavily on the bullpen after injuries to Mitch Keller and Ryan O'Hearn created new concerns in the rotation and outfield. Was fixing the bullpen enough, or should the Pirates have added another starter or right-handed bat?

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. What happened with the caller last night that told Dan he was too ‘long-winded.' Dan shot down the idea of the Pirates signing Andrew McCutchen to a minor league deal. Dan had his doubts that Cutch was as close with the rest of the clubhouse as people assumed. Dan believes the Pirates will still have Mason Montgomery close games with Luke Weaver as the setup man. How do the 6th and 7th inning guys line up? Dan loved that last night's game was won in the 6th inning because the Pirates had an additional, effective bullpen arm – the others weren't even there yet. Dan thinks Evan Sisk will slot in when he comes back because they will need another arm from the left side. Dan doesn't think yesterday told us much about the future for Ben Cherington as the team's GM.
The reinforcements will be in the building tonight for the Pirates. Will tonight be the first time we see Luke Weaver in a Pirates uniform? Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar will also be in the bullpen.

Adley Rutschman reportedly closing in on a trade to the Red Sox sends Shaun Morash into a full-blown Yankees panic. Evan Roberts tries to restore some perspective with hours remaining before the deadline, but Shaun unloads on Brian Cashman for potentially allowing Boston, a division rival closing fast on New York, to land the best catcher available while the Yankees' biggest weakness remains untouched. The deadline chaos continues with debate over Luke Weaver's trade value, the Mets' prospect returns, Luis Garcia Jr., Tyler Stephenson and other possible Yankees targets. Evan and Shaun also react to Cam Skattebo being warned about his backflips, revisit the most exciting Yankees deadline deals of Evan's lifetime, celebrate a classic Howie Rose call and uncover the bizarre fishing injury suffered by Mets prospect Gabe Davis.
Adley Rutschman reportedly nearing a trade to the Red Sox sends Shaun Morash into a full Yankees meltdown. With Boston closing in on New York and catcher remaining the Yankees' biggest need, Shaun calls it a disgrace that Brian Cashman could let his division rival land the deadline's most appealing option. Evan Roberts urges patience, reminding him that the deal is not complete and wondering whether Baltimore leaked the talks to pressure the Yankees into improving their offer. The deadline panic also sparks debate over Luis Garcia Jr., Luke Weaver's trade value and whether Cashman still has the urgency to build a championship roster. Plus, Cam Skattebo reveals that Giants coach John Harbaugh was not happy about his backflip.
Tim Benz in for Mark, Tim and Tom react to the Pirates making their trade for Luke Weaver
The Pittsburgh Pirates waited until the final hours of the MLB trade deadline before completely overhauling their bullpen. DiNardo, Tyler and Jim react live to the additions of Luke Weaver, Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar, joining the recently acquired Camilo Doval. They break down what each reliever brings, the surprisingly light prospect cost and how the new-look bullpen could be deployed down the stretch. The Pirates undoubtedly improved, but did Ben Cherington do enough? No hitter was added to address the team's struggles against left-handed pitching, no starting pitcher arrived and the news of Mitch Keller's season-ending injury dropped during the show. The crew grades the deadline and discusses whether these moves can push the Pirates into the postseason.

The Yankees are running out of time before the MLB Trade Deadline, and Chris McMonigle is NOT happy. On this segment of The Carton Show on WFAN, C-Mac breaks down why Brian Cashman must land a legitimate starting catcher and bullpen help — or risk what he calls a historic failure. Craig Carton and C-Mac debate the blockbuster Adley Rutschman trade, whether the Red Sox overpaid, and why giving up three top prospects might be too steep for the Yankees. Plus, the guys discuss the Mets making moves, Luke Weaver heading to Pittsburgh, and the pressure mounting on the Bronx Bombers with the clock ticking.
Will the Pirates make another big move before the deadline? Callers chime in to talk more about Luke Weaver. MLB writer John Perrotto joined the show. John mentions that weird things always happen in the last hour before the end of the trade deadline, so he wouldn't be surprised if the Pirates go out and add more pieces. He also mentions that the Pirates next move should be a middle of the rotation starter. John thinks that trading David Bednar last year was a bad idea, considering the return in the deal. He says that there are very few right-handed bats available at this point, but mentions Heliot Ramos as a potential trade candidate that is still available. Donny Football Debrief – Who is making waves at the Steelers practices so far?
Not only did the Pirates land Luke Weaver today, but the Mets are also making it a lot easier financially for the Buccos. Weaver will basically get the league-minimum from the Pirates the rest of this year and the Mets will pay roughly half of Weaver's salary for 2027. How did the Mets make this so easy? Will the Pirates make another move in the next hour-plus? It feels like the Cubs have added 10 players today. Henry Davis was roasted by a baseball insider. Evan Roberts from WFAN in New York City joined the show. Evan said Luke Weaver is a great late-inning option and can absolutely pitch the 9th for the Pirates. Evan doesn't believe the pressure gets to Weaver. Evan said Weaver is ‘kind of weird, but in a good way' and has a good personality. Evan said Weaver does interviews like a guy cutting an old-school wrestling promo. What kind of mix does Weaver work with? Former Pirates closer Matt Capps joined the show. Matt thinks the move for Luke Weaver is ‘incredible' and cites that the Pirates basically moved Ke'Bryan Hayes to get Weaver one year later. Matt said there is an aura about the 9th inning and how difficult it can be to close out games. The guys asked Matt how this shifts the Pirates bullpen late in the game. How many sausages will Matt put down during the 4-game set in Milwaukee? Hodgepodge of Nothingness.
The trade deadline is now here and the Pirates have added 2 more relievers following the Luke Weaver move. Kirby Yates in a trade with the Angels and Lake Bachar from the Marlins. BREAKING: Mitch Keller has been placed on the 60-day IL, effectively ending his season. This makes more sense as to why the Pirates added so much relief help as Carmen Mlodzinski will likely be added to the rotation.
93.7 The Fan MLB analyst Matt Clement joined the show. Matt is ecstatic about the Pirates trade for Luke Weaver. He also mentions that he is okay with the Pirates trading Sammy Stafura because shortstop is a blocked position for the Pirates. Matt mentions that the Pirates would be giving up on Mitch Keller if they traded for a starting pitcher.
It is MLB Trade Deadline day 2026. The Pirates haven't done anything today. Will that change? The guys ran down the other moves made around Major League Baseball today. After dropping 3 of 4 in Cincy, does it make sense for the Pirates to still go for it? Will they try to buy & sell? Another trade has come in and the Pirates are not involved. Pirates reporter Colin Beazley from the PG joined the show. Colin said it is still a wait & see game from the Pirates on trade deadline day. Will Ben Cherington get aggressive as we approach the 6 pm deadline? One of the only big names left out there in the reliever market is Luke Weaver. Colin said we will find out how much the front office believes in this team by 6. Was Hunter Goodman really thrown around as a name the Pirates were interested in? What could be the hold up with the Pirates making a move? Should Cherington be working today like his job is on the line? The Pirates should be pushing for another starter if there are innings limits within the rotation. Colin still thinks the Pirates make 2 moves before the 6 pm deadline.

The Pirates are interested in Luke Weaver. The Mets have interest in Murf Gray and Sammy Stafura according to a report by Michael Marino. The Pirates and Brewers are both interested in Weaver and it may cause a bidding war. Ken Rosenthal said that Seth Hernandez is in heavy demand.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Jason Mackey said that the Pirates are interested in Luke Weaver but imagines it would take a player like Murf Gray. He thinks Murf Gray would be the right move to trade for Weaver. Jason thinks for the right deal, the Pirates will trade anyone not named Seth Hernandez.

Jason said that the Pirates are interested in Luke Weaver but imagines it would take a player like Murf Gray. He thinks Murf Gray would be the right move to trade for Weaver. Jason thinks for the right deal, the Pirates will trade anyone not named Seth Hernandez. Jason doesn't see a package coming along where Hernandez is included in a deal. Sammy Stafura is becoming a headliner for a deal.
93.7 The Fan MLB analyst Matt Clement joined the show. Matt was very impressed by Mason Montgomery's dominant 8th inning last night. He was unsure why Montgomery did not come out for the 9th, and he is also unsure of why Gregory Soto didn't pitch the 8th inning. Matt thinks that Wilber Dotel is the Pirates' high leverage right-hander as of right now, with Yohan Ramirez kind of serving as the swiss army knife. Matt also disagreed with the decision to pull Valdez to pinch-run Billy Cook on second base in the 8th. More w/ Matt – Ken Rosenthal said that the Pirates are aggressively pursuing Luke Weaver. Poni asks Matt if the Pirates would be willing to Pay Luke Weaver 12.5 million dollars next season, to which he is not sure. Matt says that he would do anything in his power to trade either Murf Gray or Florentino to get Miller, but he would not trade Seth Hernandez. More w/ Matt – Is it possible that the Pirates end up trading Brandon Lowe at the deadline? Matt thinks that they would probably have to lose the next 3 to the Reds to consider moving Lowe.
The Pirates are buyers at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, but how aggressive should Ben Cherington be? DiNardo, Tyler, and Jim rank the available bullpen arms, debate the best platoon bats for a lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching, examine the starting-pitcher market and build three mock trades centered on Kirby Yates, Lane Thomas, Luke Weaver and AJ Minter. Can the Pirates fix their bullpen without gutting the farm system? Is Lane Thomas the right fit? Should Carmen Mlodzinski be included in a blockbuster deal with the Mets? Which prospects should be off limits? Subscribe to North Shore Nine for complete Pittsburgh Pirates coverage throughout the trade deadline and the playoff race.

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 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.
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.
