Stugotz checks in with Taylor live from Port St. Lucie, where he’s officially on the ground as our Mets’ Spring Training correspondent. Taylor provides an update on his apartment search in South Florida, which all sounds fishy after they moved his original move-in date, and Mikey A thinks he's being played. Finally, Patrick Mahomes restructured his contract to give the Chiefs more cap space, and this might be the time to buy low on Kansas City before they make major moves this offseason.

Would Mike Evans instantly transform the Giants offense… or is signing an aging star receiver a risky move, even on a “reasonable” deal? Evan and Tiki debate whether the veteran Buccaneers wideout is a slam-dunk target or a move that could age poorly. Then the conversation pivots to Queens, where Carlos Mendoza's recent comments spark major questions. Why has the tone changed on naming Francisco Lindor captain? Is this coming from ownership? And what does it say about leadership inside the Mets clubhouse? Plus, the guys react to the Luke Weaver “Yankees bag” moment, the reality of players switching allegiances in New York, and the swirling rumors about politics, cliques, and chemistry behind the scenes. Tiki offers a blunt take on what a manager should actually know about his locker room and whether “I don't know” is ever an acceptable answer. Giants roster talk, Mets leadership debate, and a deep dive into how much clubhouse dynamics really matter when a season goes sideways.
Is there a way to fix baseball's competitive imbalance without a salary cap? One proposal sparks a heated debate: keep unlimited spending, but hammer big payrolls with massive luxury taxes and force every dollar of that money to be spent on players by lower-payroll teams. The guys break down why owners would hate it, why players might love it, and how this approach could function as a “soft salary floor” without officially creating one. Would forcing teams like the Pirates or Marlins to reinvest revenue-sharing money finally stop perpetual rebuilds? And could Bird Rights–style incentives help teams keep their homegrown stars without detonating the financial system? Callers jump in on Yankee spending myths, small-market realities, and whether teams truly can afford to spend more, or simply choose not to.
A listener request unlocks one of the most painful (and unforgettable) moments in New York sports radio history. Evan and Tiki rewind to November 2, 2015, when a brutal trifecta of losses rocked the city: the Mets falling in the World Series, the Giants losing to the Saints, and the Jets getting torched by the Raiders. Producer Dov Kramer stitched those defeats together with U2's “Sunday Bloody Sunday” to create a haunting open… and Joe Benigno absolutely LOST IT on air. Relive the raw frustration, the dark humor, the instant classic radio meltdown, and the wounds that still haven't fully healed for Mets, Giants, and Jets fans. Plus, the guys react to the fallout, revisit the chaos of that weekend, and debate whether painful memories like this are part of what makes being a New York fan unforgettable. A true Fan Flashback packed with misery, nostalgia, and legendary radio moments.
How many championships in a row would it take before baseball fans finally tune out… or would a superteam actually make the sport more compelling? The guys break down the Dodgers' overwhelming dominance, why players and owners may secretly love it, and how a modern dynasty could reshape the league's future, TV ratings, and even the next labor battle. Then things get heated when a caller challenges Evan's stance on Derek Jeter, sparking a fiery debate over legacy, defense, Gold Gloves, analytics, and the eternal clash between the eye test and the numbers. Can Jeter be the second-greatest shortstop ever and still be overrated in one part of his game? The phones go wild. Plus: Mets talk ranging from the captain conversation to clubhouse narratives, how leadership actually works inside a locker room, and why fan sensitivity often depends on who delivers the criticism, not just what's being said.
C-Lo is here with reporters asking Giancarlo Stanton about Clark resigning & the lack of moves in the offseason. Carlos Mendoza was on the Carton Show and was asked right away about the clubhouse not getting along. UConn's Dan Hurley wants support from the students.

If you could bring back any former New York athlete in their prime to help today's teams, who would make the biggest impact? In this Cinco de Luncho segment, the debate shifts to players who are not in the Hall of Fame but would dramatically raise a current roster's ceiling. From offensive line help for the Giants to much-needed edge for the Knicks, scoring punch for the Rangers, and lineup protection for the Mets and Yankees, the list sparks plenty of arguments and nostalgia. Plus, a deep dive into the blockbuster A-Rod trade, the era of Yankees excess, and why today's big-market teams operate very differently.
Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand? The guys debate the "bastardization" of the captaincy in MLB, leading to a heated argument about John Franco's tenure wearing the "C." Later, they decode Cohen's "good boy" comments regarding a potential MLB salary cap and why Evan is convinced the owner is just playing nice with the league. Plus, a look at the available free-agent quarterbacks for the Jets—is Derek Carr the stabilizer they need?—and Evan prepares to pressure Carlos Mendoza on batting Juan Soto leadoff.
Steve Cohen says the Mets will “never” have a captain as long as he owns the team, but the guys dig into the archives and compare it to what Cohen said a year earlier to see if this is a real flip or just a tone change. Then, Cohen's vague salary cap answer turns into a debate about owners, leverage, and what's coming with MLB labor tension. Plus, the phones light up with Jets quarterback talk as Evan builds his “available QB” big board with Derek Carr near the top, and the crew tees up how aggressive the Giants and Jets should be this offseason. Finally, Cinco de Luncho returns with “Top 5 Non Hall of Famers Who'd Raise Their Team's Ceiling."
The final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with classic New York sports debates, roster hypotheticals, and offseason speculation across the NFL and MLB.
