Last Night's Yankees Game Was a Rare Regular Season Game That Wasn't Boring

Shaun Morash blasts Brian Cashman for an “insulting” Yankees trade deadline, arguing that failing to add a major-league catcher or reliever showed zero urgency while the Red Sox and Rays improved. Evan Roberts agrees that leaving the deadline without a catcher was unacceptable, though he still believes the Yankees can contend. Tiki Barber pushes back on the harshest conclusions while questioning where the team's momentum is headed. The frustration peaks with George Lombard Jr.'s promotion. Shaun believes the Yankees deliberately waited until after the deadline to call up their top prospect as a way to distract fans from Cashman's failures, turning an exciting debut into another example of organizational dysfunction.

Brian Cashman's evasive Aaron Judge update sends Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash into a furious debate over whether the Yankees have any idea when their captain will return. Shaun believes Cashman opened the door to Judge missing the season, while Evan argues the organization is not hiding anything and simply has no answers. Tiki says the bigger issue is the front office's complete lack of urgency as the playoff clock keeps shrinking.

Brian Cashman's refusal to pay a trade-deadline premium has Shaun Morash furious that the Yankees wasted another chance to strengthen Aaron Judge's championship window. Evan Roberts pushes back on blaming Hal Steinbrenner, arguing the failure to add a catcher was Cashman's baseball decision, while Tiki Barber weighs whether the so-called Yankees tax justified standing pat.

Shaun Morash rank the franchise's most disappointing prospects of the last 20 years, from Gary Sánchez and Clint Frazier to Greg Bird, while debating how much blame belongs to the players and how much falls on the organization. Brian Cashman's deadline strategy also comes under scrutiny after the Yankees failed to add a reliever for the first time in years. The crew identifies a clear shift away from short-term rentals, questions whether that philosophy hurt a legitimate contender and gives Cashman credit for developing Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler. Plus, Shaun's growing loyalty to John Harbaugh sparks another Giants debate.

Anthony Volpe has been sent to the minors, George Lombard Jr. is taking over at shortstop, and the Yankees may have finally admitted their former top prospect is not the player they expected. Evan predicts Volpe could return in 2027 as a second baseman and utility infielder, while others believe a trade and a fresh start would be best for everyone.

Evan, Tiki, and Shaun examine the Yankees' decision to option Anthony Volpe while elevating George Lombard Jr. to the major league roster. They speculate on Volpe's potential as a utility player or trade candidate and analyze the Red Sox's sudden dominance in the AL East. Additionally, the discussion pivots to the Jets' future under center and Brian Cashman's quiet trade deadline approach. 01:50 - George Lombard Jr. Debuts 05:15 - Volpe's Future Yankees Role 08:50 - Change Of Scenery Trade 12:20 - Mets Local Prospect Stories 17:15 - Analyzing Prospect Scouting Stats 20:35 - Jacob DeGrom Vetoes Trade 24:05 - Red Sox Summer Streak 27:55 - Jets Quarterback Trade Rumors 38:30 - Brian Cashman Deadline Review 43:05 - Tarik Skubal Trade Interest

Brian Cashman's vague Aaron Judge update leaves Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees have no real idea when, or whether, their captain will return this season. Shaun argues Cashman opened the door to Judge missing the year, while Evan dismisses the conspiracy theories and believes the organization is simply stuck without answers. Tiki identifies the larger problem: Cashman and Aaron Boone continue to speak without the urgency Yankee fans feel as the playoff clock keeps ticking.

Brian Cashman's trade deadline leaves the Yankees facing serious questions about their World Series chances. Shaun Morash unloads on the organization for failing to acquire a major-league catcher or another reliever while division rivals improved, and Evan Roberts agrees that leaving the deadline without addressing those needs was unacceptable. Tiki Barber pushes back on some of the harshest criticism, but even he acknowledges the Yankees are stagnating. The frustration intensifies with George Lombard Jr.'s perfectly timed promotion, which Shaun sees as an attempt to distract fans from an underwhelming deadline. Evan and Tiki also debate Cashman's growing reluctance to trade prospects, Anthony Volpe's uncertain future, the decision not to use Ben Rice at catcher, and whether Aaron Judge can realistically return in time to save the season.

We react to the MLB Trade Deadline after what was a terrible day for the Yankees and callers sound off

Shaun Morash gets toasted by his own history when an old post reveals he once praised Brian Cashman for standing pat at the trade deadline, a brutal contrast to his current Yankees frustration. Tiki Barber tries to identify the author during “Posted and Toasted,” only to learn that Shaun's past opinion was hiding in plain sight.

Shaun Morash gets his flowers after perfectly predicting that the Yankees would call up George Lombard Jr. immediately after an underwhelming trade deadline to calm an angry fan base. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit the prediction and debate whether there was ever a legitimate baseball reason to keep Lombard in the minors. The conversation then turns to Anthony Volpe, who is being sent down and will begin playing second base as his future with the Yankees becomes increasingly uncertain. Evan, Tiki and Shaun examine how the organization handled Volpe and Jason Dominguez, whether the Yankees failed to develop their prized prospects, and why Brian Cashman's refusal to use Ben Rice regularly at catcher only makes the roster situation more confusing.

Brian Cashman's underwhelming deadline sparks a bigger debate about how far the Yankees' standard has fallen. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash examine whether simply reaching the postseason has become acceptable for a franchise that once lived by World Series or bust. The conversation turns to Cashman's growing reluctance to trade prospects, the failures of Anthony Volpe and Jason Dominguez, and the success stories of Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler that complicate the argument. They also question how much Aaron Judge's absence should excuse the Yankees' struggles before reacting to a setback for Jets rookie Kenyon Sadiq that could cost him valuable training camp time.

Tune in as The Sports Junkies, The Kevin Sheehan Show, BMitch & Finlay, and Grant & Danny weigh in on the Nationals trading infielder Luis Garcia Jr. to the New York Yankees in exchange for four pitching prospects. Was it a case of selling high for a player enjoying a career year? And did the Nats get enough in return?

A day after the smoke cleared, the hosts of WFAN continue to react to the Yankees' handling of the MLB trade deadline. Despite the addition of Luis Garcia Jr., who homered in his first game in The Bronx, the consensus is that Yankees didn't do enough, especially at the catcher position.

Best case scenario is they win a World Series and he leaves, but what if they don't win again?

The Yanks lost to the Cardinals as they scored 7 runs in the eighth. Cam Schlittler did not pitch well. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee at Steelers camp and went after Anthony Fauci and ESPN.

C-Lo's first update of the day starts with the newest Yankee, Luis Garcia Jr, homering in his first game as a Yankee. The Yanks were down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and then lost. Brian Cashman was asked about Judge and when he's coming back. David Stearns talked about why they kept Luis Robert Jr.

Gio and Jerry kick off debating how the Brian Cashman era will eventually end and reflecting on his Yankees career, with Jerry doubting Cashman ever gets fired. Gio touches on the Dodgers having Rob Reiner's kids throw out a first pitch, followed by John Harbaugh discussing the Giants' off-day activities in Virginia and Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak celebrating a roster with "no turds." Next, the Moment of the Day features Gio responding to Katie Nolan's take on Boomer. Finally, the show wraps up with a look into 90s bands Everclear and Fastball alongside the lyrics to "Hotel California."

Gio opens by addressing Craig Carton's take on Katie Nolan, calling her comments "so incredibly stupid" and deeming her and her producer "not a worthy opponent." Before C-Lo returns for his update, Gio touches on Amanda Knox and Netflix hating the cruise injury. Next, we hear audio from the Yankees' loss to the Cardinals following a seven-run eighth inning and a rough 83-pitch outing from Cam Schlittler. Plus, Aaron Rodgers goes after Anthony Fauci and ESPN during his Pat McAfee appearance at Steelers camp. Finally, Paul in Yonkers calls in to dance on the 2026 Mets' grave now that their roster is stacked with minor leaguers.

Gio kicks off by obsessing over the Rocket City Trash Pandas' deformed raccoon promotion before complaining about his wife designing her own birthday cake and picking out her own gift. C-Lo returns with an update on newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his debut, President Trump referencing the Yankees and NIL, and David Stearns addressing the Mets' deadline trades. Plus, Aaron Rodgers joins Pat McAfee to call out ESPN over the Dianna Russini/Mike Vrabel situation and take a shot at Tom Brady, leading Gio to wonder if Rodgers' wife is A.I. Finally, Gio questions why McAfee's show won't touch the Russini/Vrabel story, arguing ESPN seems confused about its own identity.

The Dodgers landing Tarik Skubal forces Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash to admit an uncomfortable truth: Yankees and Mets fans are jealous of the machine Los Angeles has built. Evan says New York's teams have the money and resources to operate the same way, while Shaun argues the Dodgers' dominance proves Major League Baseball is fundamentally broken.

The Freddy Peralta trade officially looks like a Mets disaster, and Evan Roberts revisits the warning he issued when New York surrendered two top prospects for a one-year rental. After hearing the station's original reactions, Evan and Shaun Morash rank who came closest to getting it right and unload on Peralta's five ERA, short starts and complete failure to deliver. Peralta's move to Tampa Bay creates another nightmare scenario if the Rays immediately fix him, while Evan explains why the debacle has given him a new appreciation for Mike Hampton. The conversation also turns to the Yankees' aggressive bullpen pursuit, a reported Will Warren offer for Adrian Morejon, possible Jacob deGrom trade destinations and Harrison Bader's latest alleged scooter incident.

The Yankees continue to look for a catcher they can add before the 6pm but division rivals are stealing them away while the Mets look to keep selling off pieces.

The Yankees' trade deadline is closing fast, and Shaun Morash is already bracing for another Brian Cashman disappointment. Shaun demands a legitimate replacement for Austin Wells and warns that anything less would be an insult to Yankees fans, while Evan Roberts refuses to judge the deadline before the final deals are complete. They debate the confusing Adley Rutschman rumors, possible medical concerns, Luis Garcia's fit, Jazz Chisholm's future and whether the organization is wasting Aaron Judge's prime. Evan and Shaun also clash over the Yankees' pitching-fueled road trip, react to Jacob deGrom potentially landing with the Braves and revisit the Mets' 1986 reunion. Evan explains why younger Mets fans are exhausted by repeatedly celebrating a championship they never experienced, especially with nothing new to honor four decades later.

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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' latest blockbuster has Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash admitting an uncomfortable truth: Yankees and Mets fans are jealous. Evan argues that New York's teams have the money and resources to operate like Andrew Friedman's machine, while Shaun says the Dodgers' growing dominance proves Major League Baseball's system is fundamentally broken. They clash over whether a salary cap would have prevented Los Angeles from landing Tarik Skubal, whether Rob Manfred benefits from the outrage, and whether anyone can stop the Dodgers from returning to the World Series. Plus, the Mets' disastrous Freddy Peralta trade gets a painful retrospective, Evan apologizes to Mike Hampton, and the Yankees' reported willingness to trade Will Warren for Adrian Morejon reveals how aggressively Brian Cashman pursued bullpen help.

The Yankees made their first major move by adding Luis Garcia Jr., but the pressure on Brian Cashman is only growing. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton still uncertain and the offense struggling, the debate turns to whether New York must still land a catcher, another bat and bullpen help before the deadline. Across town, the Mets begin a painful but necessary selloff while the Dodgers spark frustration and envy with another aggressive blockbuster. The conversation weighs prospect returns, roster fit, potential October lineups and the hard truth that deadline reactions can look very different one year later.

Brian Cashman added badly needed power with Luis Garcia Jr., but Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash agree the Yankees' trade deadline will be an unmitigated disaster if a starting catcher does not arrive before the clock expires. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as they debate Garcia versus Luis Arraez, why positional fit no longer matters for baseball's worst offense since mid-June, and whether another bullpen arm is also essential. The uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton makes the Yankees' urgency even greater, while a fully healthy lineup could create major questions about playing time and defensive alignment. Meanwhile, the Mets continue selling, leaving Evan to call their deadline necessary but deeply depressing as the franchise collects lottery-ticket prospects for the future.

The Yankees still have no clear timetable for Aaron Judge, and Evan Roberts fears the captain may not return until the postseason. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan as they examine how Giancarlo Stanton's recovery and the arrival of Luis Garcia Jr. could create a complicated lineup puzzle, including the possibility of Stanton returning to the outfield. They also push back against concerns about adding a new catcher to a dominant pitching staff, arguing that the Yankees' unacceptable production at the position outweighs any adjustment period. Plus, Garcia's awkward defensive fit matters far less to an offense desperate for power, and his extra year of control could make him the eventual replacement for Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Brian Cashman added desperately needed power with Luis Garcia Jr., but Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash warn the Yankees cannot stop there. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as they debate Garcia versus Luis Arraez, why the Yankees were right to prioritize offense over positional fit, and whether Garcia could eventually replace Jazz Chisholm Jr.

The Yankees are running out of time to fix an offense that has made every victory feel nearly impossible. Shaun Morash is already furious with Brian Cashman, warning that the best trade targets are disappearing while the Yankees wait until the deadline's final hours. Evan Roberts pushes back, arguing that the front office cannot be judged until the deadline actually passes. The debate covers New York's desperate need for a catcher, the uncertainty surrounding Adley Rutschman's medicals, Austin Wells' ideal role and why Jazz Chisholm may not have a long-term future in the Bronx. Evan and Shaun also explain how dominant pitching masked a miserable lineup during a 6-4 road trip before questioning whether Mets fans have finally grown tired of celebrating the 1986 championship team.

Brian Cashman's trade deadline approach has Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees are headed for another crushing disappointment. With catcher still an obvious weakness and the Red Sox pushing for Adley Rutschman, Shaun argues that New York is merely trying to improve instead of building a World Series champion. Evan Roberts agrees a catcher is mandatory but refuses to declare the deadline a disaster before it ends. Shaun also ranks the most exciting Yankees deadline deals of his lifetime, from David Cone to Cecil Fielder. Plus, Howie Rose delivers a brutal line about Jorge Polanco, callers debate the Dodgers' deferred contracts, and the bizarre fishing injury suffered by Mets prospect Gabe Davis leaves everyone searching for answers.

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.

Brian Cashman has one nonnegotiable job at the trade deadline: find a major-league catcher. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash warn that returning with Austin Wells and the Yankees' current options would be an insult to a frustrated fan base, even as Evan predicts a deal will get done.

The Yankees' decision to dump Camilo Doval becomes a brutal reminder that trade deadline excitement can age terribly. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash replay their euphoric reaction to last year's deal, admit they had no idea how badly it would fail, and credit Brian Cashman for moving on instead of doubling down on a mistake. As the Yankees wait for more help after adding Luis Garcia Jr., the Mets begin their painful sell-off. Evan calls it a necessary but dark day, refusing to pretend that a collection of unfamiliar prospects is immediately exciting. The returns may become valuable lottery tickets, but for now they only underline how far the Mets have fallen.

8.3.26, Jesse Dougherty from NOTUS joins The Kevin Sheehan Show to break down the big trade from the Nationals over the weekend, where they traded Luis Garcia to New York for four pitchers, and how this trade will impact the team going forward.

To close out the hour, Gio brings up rare tick-borne diseases on Long Island before the guys tackle women's love for wearing spandex.

Gio loves seeing the ‘86 Mets, but not in the middle of a horrendous season, though Jerry loved their throwback video and noted Jamie-Lynn Sigler is married to Lenny Dykstra's son.

C-Lo takes over for updates with the Yankees beating the Cubs, Gerrit Cole blaming the wind, and Aaron Boone declaring Garcia Jr. "rakes." To wrap up the hour, the guys rank how the visiting '86 Mets are looking, hear from Skubal on leaving Detroit, and react to Boomer texting the group that he was in a "four day viral coma."
