BT & Sal dive into a fiery debate over the Yankees and Mets' intertwined offseason, focusing on a direct clash for Cody Bellinger and the closer market (Edwin Diaz vs. Devin Williams). Sal argues the Mets must pursue Bellinger and go "pedal to the metal," while BT has more faith in Brian Cashman's urgency than David Stearns' willingness to spend like a big-market GM. The Mets' need for a "shake up" dominates the conversation, with discussion of trading Senga (despite the desperate need for pitching) and moving core players like McNeil, Nimmo, Baty, and Vientos—the guys Sal is "tired of waiting on." The segment concludes with BT teasing his "Grand Slam Mets Offseason" plan, a four-component blueprint he believes would make the Mets World Series contenders.

BT reveals a bombshell: he and Sal were alerted by A-Rod's cousin that they might be getting an invite to Alex Rodriguez's highly anticipated Christmas party! The hosts dive into the anxiety of waiting for the official email, with BT constantly refreshing his inbox and Sal questioning if it landed in spam. They hilariously speculate on the A-list (and maybe B-list) guests who will be attending, including potential appearances by David Ortiz ("Big Papi"). The segment underscores the power dynamic of the elusive celebrity invite—and the dilemma of balancing an A-Rod bash with a wife's birthday party.

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.

Host Brandon Contes interviews New York Mets field reporter/play-by-play broadcaster Steve Gelbs. Brandon and Steve discuss a wide range of topics including Aaron Glenn's handling of the media, Steve's initial struggles on the Mets' broadcast and hesitation to move to play-by-play, and more.-2:07: New York Jets QB situation/Aaron Glenn/Aaron Rodgers on Jets-19:35: Being a New York Yankees fan growing up-25:55: New York Mets early broadcasts-43:09: Developing relationships with players-1:02:50: Big calls and free agencyDownload the Awful Announcing Podcast:Listen on AppleListen on SpotifyAwful Announcing on XAwful Announcing on FacebookAwful Announcing on InstagramAwful Announcing on ThreadsAwful Announcing on BlueSkyAwful Announcing on LinkedInAwful Announcing on YouTube Hosted on Acast.

Show Open: Trent Grisham accepted the Yankees Qualifying offer to return for 2026, Yankee fans do not seem thrilled, Keith says count on another big season for Grish, but this move should not hold the Yankees back from being big spenders the rest of the offseason.

Late night notes and here come AI umpires and referees. The Yankees can't let Trent Grisham stop them from addressing other needs.

Trent Grisham will be back with the Yankees in 2026. What does this mean for Spencer Jones, Jasson Dominguez, Kyle Tucker, and Cody Bellinger? Keith says the Mets have a chance to do the funniest thing with Cody Bellinger. The Yankees still have moves to make, Keith is now uncertain they'll make them. Hour 1.

Paul Skenes went on the Dan Patrick show to address the rumors that he wants to be traded to the New York Yankees.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim Dierkes, Steve Adams and Anthony Franco all join Darragh McDonald to discuss the site's annual Top 50 Free Agents list. Topics include how the threat of a lockout will affect free-agent contracts, if there's a team that will be willing to give Kyle Tucker a massive deal, the factors that could drive up Bo Bichette's price, how difficult it is to predict what Dylan Cease will sign for, what to make of Japanese stars Munetaka Murakami and Tatsuya Imai, if this will be the year that Cody Bellinger and Pete Alonso get huge deals, how the guys nailed the terms of Josh Naylor's contract, the best comps for Zac Gallen and Michael King, if teams will be able to overlook Devin Williams having poor ERA last year, if Robert Suarez can get a three-year deal going into his age-35 season, and the players with tough qualifying offer decisions. 

BT & Sal go head-to-head on the stunning news of Trent Grisham accepting the $22 million qualifying offer (QO), a move most experts (and the Yankees' front office) reportedly didn't see coming. Sal is convinced this is an "F" for Brian Cashman, arguing that Grisham is an "October liability" who strikes out too much and whose defensive decline is a major issue, especially against quality pitching. Tierney, however, views the reaction as an overreaction, arguing that the one-year deal is manageable and provides insurance, essentially confirming that a frequently injured player like Stanton will be forced to DH. The duo debates whether Grisham's decision was "foolish" for his own long-term business and if the Yankees can really afford to keep him off the field in the postseason.

BT & Sal are demanding that the Yankees finally go on a "big offseason" spending spree and become aggressive in their pursuit of a championship. They debate the necessity of re-signing Cody Bellinger (arguing that losing him makes the team worse) and whether the team has the "appetite" for a massive, multi-year contract for a star like Alex Bregman (predicted to cost about $173M). The hosts also slam the organization for its glut of positional players (DHs, limited defenders) and insist that to make room for necessary additions, Cashman "has to trade" at least one young, high-potential player like Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones. They conclude that with the clocks ticking on Judge and Cole, the Yankees can no longer afford to be held back by smaller contracts or cheap team-building strategies.

BT & Sal unleash a torrent of fury over Trent Grisham's shocking acceptance of the $22 million Qualifying Offer (QO), arguing it's the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason" that kills the Yankees' chances at big targets like Cody Bellinger. Sal pushes for a bold trade for Steven Kwan, while BT fears Cashman will use the QO as an excuse to "roll back" the same failed 2025 roster. The heat continues with Three Random Questions, including a Giants legend showdown: Phil Simms vs. Boomer Esiason in a one-game Super Bowl, a gross debate on gum seats at MSG vs. public humiliation, and whether they could survive prison with a phone. Plus, Giants star Cam Skattebo is put under the microscope for clapping back at critics after his WWE ringside scuffle, and the hosts reveal their fiery early leans for NFL Week 12 Parlay Perfection.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Yankees' front office after Trent Grisham shocked the industry by accepting the Qualifying Offer (QO) for $22 million, a move both hosts agree was a colossal misread by the team driven by the lure of a compensatory draft pick. BT argues the QO acceptance is the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," fearing the added salary and player complexity will make the Yankees reluctant to pursue top targets like Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker. Sal pushes back, insisting the Yankees can (and must) absorb the cost and still be aggressive, specifically needing to trade prospects like Dominguez or Jones for an elite piece like Steven Kwan to truly improve. The hosts also break down the financial impact and player fit, with the conversation focusing on the Yankees' urgent need for a right-handed bat (like Alex Bregman) and the danger of running back the same "not-a-championship-team" roster. Ultimately, they agree that if the QO prevents the necessary aggressive moves, it signals a failure to adapt as Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole's competitive window shrinks.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Yankees' off-season strategy, arguing that Trent Grisham's acceptance of the $22 million qualifying offer is the first "domino that dooms" their plan to "roll back" the same deficient roster. Sal fears Cashman will use Gerrit Cole's return as an excuse not to make necessary, aggressive moves for players like Kwan or Tucker, while callers slam the GM for hoarding "penny stocks" prospects like Spencer Jones and Dominguez. They argue that the young core has failed to develop and the team needs an "all-in" structural overhaul. The conversation shifts to the Giants, where a caller demands that Joe Schoen must go immediately following the team's embarrassing season. BT and Sal push back on the timing, arguing that the season is lost and the organization's focus must remain on the sensitive health issues of ownership, suggesting that while Schoen should be next to go, the action will and should wait until the end of the year.

BT and Sal dive into the fiery reaction from Giants star Cam Skattebo, who clapped back at critics for judging his WWE attendance while injured. They debate the issue of professional decorum, weighing Cam's star power against the lack of self-awareness shown by fellow Giant Abdul Carter. The conversation shifts to the NFL Week 12 slate, where the hosts discuss "Parlay Perfection" strategy, revealing their early leans on the Chiefs-Colts and Cowboys-Eagles games as the pressure mounts on BT to close the gap on Hoff. Finally, they tackle the "Call of the Day" and several callers who pile on Brian Cashman, slamming the Yankees' "stale" vision, bad signings, and failed player development.

BT and Sal dive into an explosive "Call of the Day" where a fiery Yankees fan, Mike from Manalapan, torches Brian Cashman for his failure to develop position players, comparing his tight grip on prospects to holding onto a failing "Bitcoin." The caller demands the Yankees "package them all" and trade prospects like Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez for a top-tier player. The hosts then take a call from a Mets fan who defends the Yankees' consistent success, arguing that making the playoffs "almost every year" isn't "stale." Sal and BT push back, asserting that the Yankees' standard must be higher than mere playoff contention, and the fan frustration stems from the consistent, championship-less repeat of the same failures, worsened by recent moves like the Trent Grisham qualifying offer.

The Yankees offseason is off to a fiery start as Trent Grisham accepts the $22 million Qualifying Offer, a move Sal Licata sees as the "domino" leading to a disastrous offseason. Sal fears the Yankees are "banking on rolling this back" with a largely unchanged roster, relying solely on Gerrit Cole's return and growth from underperforming young players like Volpe and Dominguez. BT & Sal debate whether the $22 million for a defensive specialist who had an outlier offensive year will "dissuade" the Yankees from going "all in" on high-impact upgrades like Cody Bellinger or Steven Kwan. Callers join the fray, calling Cashman out for getting "caught with his pants down" and questioning the Yankees' continued reliance on unproven prospects rather than making aggressive moves to finally win a World Series.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery discussion about Trent Grisham's decision to accept the qualifying offer ($22 million), with BT calling it a "colossal mistake" by the Yankees' front office, who seemingly misread his willingness to take the one-year deal. BT views the move as the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," arguing the allure of a compensatory pick blindsided them. Sal, however, believes Grisham is still a valuable commodity who can be used as a high-end fourth outfielder or trade bait (after the June 15 deadline), and that the $22 million shouldn't stop the Yankees from landing Cody Bellinger or trading for Steven Kwan. The hosts debate the impact on the roster, specifically how Grisham's presence complicates the paths for young prospects Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones and exacerbates the Yankees' already dangerous left-handed hitting compromise. BT's main fear remains that this move encourages the Yankees to "run it back" with a team that failed to win, banking too heavily on a different outcome.

Welcome to Episode 118 of Tablesetters. The offseason opened with a major move, as Josh Naylor signed a five-year deal with the Seattle Mariners, immediately reshaping the first-base market. His return reinforces Seattle's lineup core and removes one of the most dependable bats from free agency. We break down why the deal came together quickly, why other teams never seriously entered the mix, and how his signing affects clubs still searching for first-base or middle-of-the-order help. Midway through the live show, the conversation shifted when news broke that the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward. Rodriguez missed the entire 2025 season with arm injuries, but the Angels are betting on the upside he showed before the setbacks. Ward, under control through 2026, gives Baltimore a steady right-handed bat and immediate outfield stability. We break down how the trade fits each team's broader offseason plan and what it suggests about their priorities moving forward. The episode also covers one of the most unusual qualifying-offer cycles since the system's creation. Four players accepted the QO — Trent Grisham, Gleyber Torres, Shota Imanaga, and Brandon Woodruff — marking the first time more than three players have taken it in the same offseason. Grisham's decision is the most surprising, coming off a breakout 34-homer season in a thin outfield market. His acceptance raises the Yankees' payroll above the third luxury-tax tier and signals a calculated one-year bet on himself. Torres returns to Detroit looking for a healthier 2026 after playing through a sports hernia. Imanaga chose a reset with Chicago after a late-season downturn, and Woodruff accepted as expected as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery. On the other side, nine players rejected the QO — Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, Framber Valdez, Dylan Cease, Ranger Suárez, Edwin Díaz, Zac Gallen, and Michael King — a group largely expected to pursue multi-year deals despite draft-pick compensation. Their decisions, combined with Grisham coming off the board, further thin the center-field market and shift clubs toward potential trade options. This QO cycle reflects a winter shaped by uncertainty around future labor conditions, stricter tax penalties, and mixed performances from several major free agents. In San Diego, the Padres' ownership evaluation remains ongoing. The Seidler family is formally exploring a potential sale while working through internal disputes and long-term financial considerations. The front office maintains a “business as usual” stance, but the review introduces real questions about payroll strategy and organizational stability heading into 2026. Award season added another layer to a busy week. Shohei Ohtani earned another unanimous MVP, and Aaron Judge secured his third after a tightly contested race. On the pitching side, Tarik Skubal won his second straight AL Cy Young Award, and Paul Skenes captured the NL honor just a year after winning Rookie of the Year — a rare progression that underscores how quickly he has become one of the league's most impactful pitchers. In Washington, the Nationals introduced Drew Butera as their new manager, making him the youngest skipper in Major League Baseball in more than 50 years. His development-focused background aligns with the organization's larger reset under Paul Toboni. The 2026 Hall of Fame ballot was also released, featuring returning candidates such as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones along with first-time names including Cole Hamels, Ryan Braun, and Matt Kemp.
