Podcasts about New York Mets

Posted and Toasted returns with a collection of old posts that somehow gets stranger with every reveal. Evan Roberts quizzes Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash on John Harbaugh's cluttered draft setup, New Jersey gas stations, Boomer Esiason's inexplicable Westminster Dog Show tweet and Evan's unforgettable theory about a sex doll named Gertrude. The conversation also turns to electric cars after Evan reveals he is finally making the switch, before a caller proposes a bold Mets trade for Tarik Skubal with the goal of securing a contract extension before a potential lockout. Evan explains why the creative plan is unnecessary and why Skubal would still be destined to test free agency.

Evan Roberts unloads on Plaxico Burress for comparing his 2011 season with the Jets to prison, arguing that Burress joined a championship-caliber team coming off back-to-back AFC title game appearances. Tiki Barber laughs at the joke but agrees it ignores the reality of a Jets team that started 8-5 before collapsing and beginning a brutal stretch of franchise failure. Evan also explains why Francisco Lindor's second half could reshape the Mets' future, whether Lindor stays or raises his trade value. A lost phone creates a Citi Field bathroom dilemma, while a Yankees caller sparks a heated argument over Hal and George Steinbrenner, Carlos Beltran and Bernie Williams. Evan admits he went below the belt, then reveals the childhood incident that started his bizarre Bernie grudge.

The Yankees may have survived without Aaron Judge, but Shaun Morash warns their current lineup still has far too many dead spots to win in October. Evan Roberts points to the offense's dominant production before Judge went down, while the debate turns to whether Brian Cashman needs a major bat or a realistic addition such as Lane Thomas. Evan, Tiki Barber and Shaun also predict Cody Bellinger's return date before making their biggest trade deadline calls.

Aaron Judge's brief “I got nothing for you” injury update leaves Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wondering whether the Yankees truly have no timetable or are hiding bad news before the trade deadline. With Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger unavailable, the pressure on Brian Cashman to transform the offense has reached a breaking point. Evan and Tiki argue that the mediocre American League should push the Yankees to be more aggressive, not less. They compare the situation to the 2015 Mets, debate whether one blockbuster bat or several smaller upgrades could change everything and predict Cashman will make multiple major league trades.

Tiki and Evan analyze the Mets-centered movie starring Emma Stone and the fallout from a fan's relocated season tickets. They dive into Francisco Lindor's leadership qualities following a caller's critique before Evan predicts a disappointing season for the Rams.

The Yankees lost Cody Bellinger and now trade deadline desperation is even higher. Plus the Mets asked a fan to move for a Hollywood story.

David Stearns refuses to directly confirm that Francisco Lindor is part of the Mets' future, and Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash hear a clear message: Stearns wants him gone. Evan Roberts initially interprets the answer as reassurance, then questions whether his Mets fandom is affecting what he hears. They debate whether a Lindor trade is more likely in the offseason and warn that moving a recent MVP candidate without a major return would be a crushing mistake.

Emma Stone's new Mets movie turned into a real-life Citi Field controversy after a season ticket holder was relocated so production could use his seats. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether the fan was misled by a questionable “upgrade,” why he should have demanded a refund and how Evan would react if the Mets ever tried taking his carefully selected seats. The crew also breaks down the wild premise of The Catch, Juan Soto's cameo and why Mets fans may be the perfect audience for a baseball romantic comedy. Plus, they examine Francisco Lindor's captaincy debate and the troubling mental and defensive mistakes that have defined his season.

The Nationals sent third baseman Curtis Mead to the Red Sox in exchange for pitcher Connelly Early, with both teams addressing organizational needs by swapping young talent.
