Podcasts about mets fans

The show continues the “success or bust” debate for New York teams, but it quickly turns into a Mets fan therapy session when the topic shifts to Steve Phillips. After Phillips questions the Mets offseason and pushes back on the idea that they are “most improved,” fans come after him personally and the hosts are fed up with it. If you want to disagree with his take, fine. But trashing him like he has no credibility at all? That's where the hypocrisy gets called out. From there, the Mets conversation gets real practical. A caller asks the big question: what's the actual plan with Mark Vientos, Brett Baty, and Ronny Mauricio now that the roster has gotten crowded? The discussion dives into how the at-bats will get distributed, who might be DH-heavy early, how spring injuries can change roles, and why the Mets are clearly prioritizing immediate competitiveness instead of running an all-prospect experiment. Another caller frames the Mets problem differently: it's not just “make the playoffs,” it's who you keep running into once you get there, especially with the Dodgers looming as the sport's current monster. The response is simple: first you have to become a consistent playoff team, then you can worry about repeatedly colliding with the same buzzsaw. The segment closes with a Jets fan admitting he does not even know what to root for anymore, and a Yankees fan laying out the urgency. Between an aging core, a shrinking window, and looming labor uncertainty, 2026 starts to feel like the year where “World Series or bust” stops sounding dramatic and starts sounding logical.

Howie Rose will only call Mets home games unless they reach the playoffs, while Gio anticipates future calls regretting the loss of Pete Alonso. Also, Peter Schwartz's Red Bulls feud and a caller securing World Cup tickets for Yussef. Brian Daboll addressed self-reflection, BT & Sal took shots at Pete Hoffman, and Chris Russo provided the "Moment of the Day." Finally, Yussef joined the studio as Gio has World Cup tickets.

We know it'll happen and Gio wonders when those calls to the station will start.

Hour 3: Tommy talks about his anger with the Winter season and how Mets fans need to get over the team choosing to not re-sign Pete Alonso.

This hour of the Carton Show with Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle covers EVERYTHING from heartbreaking news to heated sports debates and wild money talk.

(SHOW OPEN): Are Mets fans ready to say "I'm sorry" to David Stearns now that he's made multiple big additions to the roster?

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.

We talk the Mets' sudden transformation as fans finally embrace the David Stearns era. We'll break down Brian Flores' extension in Minnesota, plus a caller's take on John Harbaugh cleaning house for the Giants. Jerry's has more of Terry Pegula's awkward Bills presser, Sean Payton's high praise for Stidham, and a look ahead to a massive weekend snowstorm headed our way.

The Mets have made big moves to add to the team and fans are sorta kinda happy about that.

The Mets finally trade for Luis Robert Jr. and the Yankees finally sign Cody Bellinger. It's a good day in New York sports.... right? Wrong... These two teams have done the bare minimum to keep afloat this offseason. Neither team is better.

Craig Carton goes full Mr. Positive as the Mets finally make a splash, landing Freddy Peralta — and somehow fans are STILL complaining. Craig unloads on miserable Mets fans, fires shots at Evan Roberts' negativity, defends trading prospects to win NOW, and declares the Mets a better team today than yesterday. Plus, a classic Carton rant on why fans can't have it both ways. Passion, arguments, and laughs to kick off the Carton Show.

Craig Carton and Big Mac go head-to-head on WFAN as Mets fans erupt over the Luis Robert Jr. trade while the Yankees dominate the headlines by re-signing Cody Bellinger. Craig pushes back hard on the idea that Mets fans are “crowing,” citing angry calls, texts, and even Mets ticket sales numbers to prove the fan base is underwhelmed.

Trust in Cohen and Stearns collapsing, rock-bottom after missing Tucker, then suddenly hope again after the Bo Bichette pivot. The conversation turns into a real debate about what the Mets' actual plan is, why they keep leaning on short-term, big-money deals, and how hard it is to build a connection when every jersey feels like a one-year rental. Then it flips to the Yankees and Cody Bellinger, with New York leaking every detail of their “final offer” while fans wonder if it is all posturing until they actually pivot. A caller suggests a big swing like Framber Valdez, and the show breaks down why that does not really fit the Yankees' long-term pitching commitments, plus what a realistic pivot even looks like if Bellinger walks. Also in the mix: early lockout talk, what opt-outs could mean if labor chaos is coming, and why Mets fans might want to enjoy Bichette now without getting too attached.

The news Mets fans feared becomes reality as Kyle Tucker chooses the Los Angeles Dodgers over the New York Mets. Evan reacts with raw frustration, breaking down why this one hurts even though the Mets made a massive and legitimate offer. Tiki Barber explains why the Dodgers always win these battles, how their financial edge changes everything, and why no one should be surprised. The conversation turns from Tucker to the bigger picture as Evan questions the Mets' offseason direction, the failure to replace Pete Alonso, and what the real pivot is with spring training approaching. Is this anger really about Tucker, or about the position the Mets have put themselves in? Plus a Winston Churchill inspired rally cry, and a brewing conspiracy involving MLB and Rob Manfred. A must listen for Mets fans trying to figure out where this team goes next and whether there is still a path to contention.

Evan and Tiki open the phones and Mets fans go straight to the big question: if you can only make one marquee move, is it Kyle Tucker or a top arm like Ranger Suárez or Framber Valdez? Evan argues Tucker's 162-game impact is bigger than any starter's, even while admitting the rotation still screams for certainty. The conversation rolls into David Stearns' short term, high AAV strategy, whether “connections” matter at all in free agency, and why the Dodgers are always lurking if money is close. Plus: the Pete Alonso fallout won't go away, the “is $50M worth it?” camps battle, the Yankees finally make an under the radar move with Ryan Weathers, and a caller throws Lucas Giolito into the mix as the show debates what actually qualifies as a Mets ace right now.

He started rooting for the Mets a couple years after they won the World Series in 1986 and is still waiting to celebrate. They are ruining his life. But he's making the most of it. He's been doing stand-up in New York City since 2010 and works with Robert Kelly and Andrew Shultz, among others. He just started a new show, Working Out with Comics, where he invites comedians to work out in the gym in the basement of his building in Queens.

BT & Sal dive into the uproar over the Mets losing elite closer Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers for a mere three years and $$69$ million, especially after signing Devin Williams for three years and $$51$ million. Sal argues that the $$18$ million difference is "absurd" and demands David Stearns justify the move, unless Diaz simply refused to return.The hosts confront angry Mets fans, reminding them that the team won only 83 games with Diaz, and that Stearns must be allowed to execute his "vision" to build a World Series winner. However, the pressure is immense, with fans now threatening to turn on Stearns and demanding he "Sign Alonso today" to prevent a total fan meltdown. The segment concludes by exploring whether a Williams/Suárez bullpen tandem could actually be an upgrade over last year's relief unit.

BT & Sal explode over Edwin Diaz's shocking defection to the Dodgers for a record AAV, concluding that the closer "didn't want to be a Met" and chose status over the Mets' near-matching $66M offer. Sal rips Diaz as a "traitor" while the hosts ultimately side with the "unkillable" duo of Steve Cohen & David Stearns as they brace for a rebuild. The chaos fuels a fierce debate over Pete Alonso's future, with Sal criticizing Pete for "shopping himself" at the Winter Meetings while his potential Hall of Fame pace is fiercely debated. They dissect Kyle Schwarber's new contract and its massive implications for Alonso's market price. The show is rounded out by a hilarious dive into obscure baseball slang and a serious sit-down with WWE Executive Bruce Prichard (Brother Love) about John Cena's final match and wrestling's toughest "alpha."

BT & Sal dive into a hypothetical (but fiery!) discussion about Pete Alonso wearing a Yankees uniform. While acknowledging reports that the Yankees have no interest in the Polar Bear, Sal argues that a move for Alonso would be a smart piece of a necessary "restructuring" for the Yankees—specifically, by trading Giancarlo Stanton and replacing his power and DH slot with an everyday first baseman and DH option in Pete. The conversation gets personal as they debate the emotional fallout for Mets fans if their franchise slugger jumped to the hated Yankees. Sal asserts that his hatred for the Yankees would "usurp" any affection for Pete, but Hoff and Sal debate where Mets fans would draw the line. The segment also touches on the frustrating lack of development and hype surrounding Yankees prospects like Jasson Dominguez and Mets prospect Carson Benge.

BT & Sal dive deep into the Mets' offseason strategy, debating whether GM David Stearns can balance his restrained management style with Steve Cohen's massive checkbook. Sal insists the Mets need at least two top-tier starting pitchers and a major offensive change, while Tierney questions Stearns' hesitation on re-signing Pete Alonso, urging an aggressive, take-it-or-leave-it offer. The guys clash with callers over Alonso's value and debate potential free-agent fits like Bregman, Bichette, and Schwarber. The discussion explodes with an explosive report that Pirates ace Paul Skenes is "hoping for a trade" to the Yankees. The hosts emphatically agree that New York must give up "whatever it takes," including beloved young starter Clarke Schlittler, to acquire the transcendent, under-control superstar pitcher. They argue that Skenes' long-term control makes him the ultimate prize and a transformational trade target.

Gio reminded Mets fans they can't gloat—their team didn't even make the playoffs. Jazz talked big, blew a huge play, Daboll got dubbed “the munchkin man,” and the crew fielded possibly the dumbest call ever.

Paulie & Tony bring on the world's ANGRIEST New York Mets fan Frank "The Tank" Fleming to discuss what went so horribly wrong for his team, but then they realize Frank might have bigger problems than the Mets do.
