Dexter Lawrence addresses whether he feels any responsibility for Brian Daboll's firing. A caller to Chris Russo throws out a bold idea for the Giants' next head coach, and we revisit a classic Mike Francesa moment where he insisted the Yankees were fortunate they didn't land Ohtani.

Boomer and Gio dive deeper into the Giants coaching search. Will ownership lean on a proven veteran or roll the dice on another coordinator? Gio sees a path either way and compares the situation to how the Patriots set things up for Drake Maye. Mike Tomlin's name has surfaced, but landing him would require a trade.

In this week's new material, we compare a team signing a low-OBP player to the girl you were crushing on choosing the only suitor you would have had her avoid (not that it was up to you, but also not that the universe isn't cruel that way), all of which may turn out to be a tortured political metaphor. Then we return to 2016 for the Dodgers at third base, the tragic and not-at-all funny tale of Giants pitcher Bugs Raymond, and a lot of talk about Yoenis Cespedes falling off a horse. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out? 

The Mets must come back with a vengeance and Yankees fans are spoiled. Ben Rice will handle first base, what about catcher for the Yankees?

The window is finally cracking open in Pittsburgh… but will the Pirates actually spend enough to take advantage of it? Tonight on NS9LIVE, we break down the new Baseball America column asking whether it's even possible for the Pirates to fail with Paul Skenes and Konnor Griffin headlining the future. Are these two truly “can't fail” talents, or is history more complicated than the headline suggests? We also dive into Ben Cherington's latest comments about having “flexibility” and being ready to “spend a little” this offseason. Is that real progress, or the same song Pirates fans have heard for years? And of course… the noise around Paul Skenes and the Yankees. How worried should fans actually be?

BT & Sal kick off the segment with a fiery, yet hilarious, linguistics lesson on the pronunciation of "sword," with BT's preferred "sword**"** (or "sword") sparking a comical debate about intellect and high-quality literature. The main discussion shifts to potential Yankees trade targets. The hosts dismantle a trade proposal for Ketel Marte, questioning the high asking price and his history of taking days off. The focus then turns to the "perfect fit": Steven Kwan. Sal argues that the elite, contact-hitting, Gold Glove left fielder is the ideal leadoff hitter the Yankees desperately need, contrasting him with the "analytics war" being waged by Boone and Cashman. Finally, they weigh the risks of signing free agent pitcher Michael King and debate if small, smart moves can round out the roster.

BT & Sal tackle the grim reality of the Jets' Thursday Night Football matchup against the New England Patriots. Sal expresses a sliver of curiosity about the team's "competitiveness," but the consensus is brutal: the Patriots are one of the NFL's best, and the Jets are one of the worst. They slam the notion of a "momentum" build, pointing out the wins against the Bengals and Browns were due to luck and special teams, not a true team turnaround. BT says it will be a "bloodbath" and a "mismatch," arguing the bar for the Jets is simply to "not embarrass themselves." He challenges head coach Aaron Glenn to "empty the tank," calling for Uber-aggressive play and trick plays to narrow the overwhelming odds. The hosts also briefly transition to a heated discussion on whether the Yankees should trade Jazz Chisholm for the Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte.

BT & Sal ignite a fierce debate on how the Yankees and Mets can realistically compete with the Dodgers' powerhouse, star-stockpiling strategy. They argue that both New York teams must stop being "afraid to make mistakes" and aggressively "eat" bad contracts to maintain a competitive edge, just like the Yankees of old. The conversation centers on the Dodgers' financial model, specifically the Ohtani deferral deal, which Sal calls a "perfect storm" built on a willing star, and question why the Mets and Yankees haven't been as innovative. For the Yankees, they explore bold moves like trading Rodón to make room for an elite arm like Skubal and question the value of trading a top prospect like Lombard for a rental. The bottom line: The Dodgers have raised the bar, and New York must match the intensity and financial bravado.

Sal vents his fiery frustration over his lack of a texting relationship with Alex Rodriguez, feeling personally snubbed that A-Rod only reaches out to his co-host Brandon Tierney and his podcast partner, Jimmy Traina. He humorously questions what he needs to do to get A-Rod's attention—rip him or kiss up to him—and wonders if A-Rod even likes him. Tierney provides context, explaining that A-Rod expressed a genuine fondness for Sal but may simply be "Alex" (sincere and normal) with them, rather than "A-Rod" (the guarded public figure). The conversation touches on A-Rod's past, his infamous lie to Mike Francesa on The Fan, and Sal's forgotten bond with A-Rod over being an '86 Mets fan and coincidentally attending the same movie screening.

BT & Sal kick off with a furious post-mortem on the Knicks' loss, with Sal taking aim at coach Mike Brown for leaving Jalen Brunson in late and comparing the heat he'd get to former coach Tom Thibodeau. They pivot to the Yankees, dissecting the long-standing "suck wind" problem of player development that continues to plague the organization. The show takes a turn as Sal hilariously airs his personal grievance with Alex Rodriguez, revealing he's offended the former slugger texts BT and a mutual colleague, but snubs Sal! The Mets discussion heats up with news that the Orioles are entering the Pete Alonso sweepstakes and a caller raising concerns over the logistical nightmare of Citi Field construction once Steve Cohen gets his casino license. The show wraps with a look at the Jets' hopeless matchup against the Patriots and a fiery call of the day.

BT and Sal tear into the Jets' primetime matchup against the Patriots, with BT predicting a "bloodbath" given the team's struggles, while Sal holds out hope for a "competitive" showing to build on the Aaron Glenn era. In baseball, the hosts turn to the Hot Stove, fiercely debating how the Yankees and Mets must "load up" to compete with the Dodgers' high-spending, star-stockpiling strategy, fueled by the Ohtani deferral model. Sal proposes an aggressive trade: Marté over Chisholm for the Yankees. Finally, legendary comedian Marlon Wayans joins the show to talk about his return to Scary Movie 6, crushing cancel culture, and why he believes the world desperately needs "no holds barred" comedy like Archie Bunker to bring people together.

BT & Sal kick off the segment by immediately addressing the viral news surrounding Sydney Sweeney—specifically the disappointing box office flop of her latest movie, with Sal jokingly suggesting their recent interview "helped" the movie sink. They dive into the ensuing drama, including the Ruby Rose feud over the casting and a bizarre segue into the Eddie Murphy GOAT debate. The conversation pivots sharply back to sports with a fiery Yankees trade suggestion: dumping Carlos Rodón and his hefty contract to free up money for a major free agent acquisition like Shohei Ohtani or Kwang Hyun Kim (a bit of classic Sal hyperbole). The hosts criticize the Yankees' recent lack of "creative" trades, arguing they need to be more aggressive this offseason. The segment concludes with Tierney reluctantly admitting his unique, and incorrect, definition of "swordsman" after a caller brought up an old rumor about a certain sports radio host.

BT & Sal ignite the offseason discussion, declaring Cody Bellinger the "linchpin" for the Yankees' success and arguing that both New York teams need to abandon "fair market value" for a necessary, "irrational" approach to win. They dive into a shocking report from Joel Sherman suggesting the Mets are "spitballing" a trade of Brandon Nimmo—a move that could clear salary and upgrade defense, but signals a major philosophical shift for David Stearns. The focus then pivots to the NFL for their Week 11 Power Up Rankings. Sal shocks by putting the Patriots at No. 5 and leaving the Chiefs out, while BT puts the Patriots at No. 1 due to their consistent winning and coaching, dropping the Chiefs to No. 4. The guys debate whether the Broncos and Rams have done enough to earn top spots, and predict a crushing loss for the Jets against the Patriots tonight.

BT & Sal unleash a fiery debate on the Yankees' offseason, arguing the entire success of their winter hinges on re-signing free agent Cody Bellinger. Sal insists the team has "no excuse" to lose Bellinger after already whiffing on Juan Soto last year, demanding the Yankees get aggressive now and exceed the market if necessary. Tierney agrees, noting that losing Bellinger would make their already unclear roster situation "very worrisome." The hosts also pivot to a bigger picture, asking: "Is Bellinger enough?" They propose bold moves like trading for a true leadoff hitter like Steven Kwan and questioning the Yankees' self-imposed limitation at third base with Ryan McMahon when a proven winner like Alex Bregman is available. They conclude that without Bellinger and further aggressive action, the Yankees risk simply starting the next season with the same flawed team.

BT & Sal ignite a fiery Yankees offseason debate, asserting that securing Cody Bellinger is a "must-sign" that the Yankees cannot afford to whiff on—unlike their approach with Soto. Sal argues they must "stop waiting" for the market and be aggressive. The discussion pivots to ideal trade targets like Steven Kwan (the perfect leadoff hitter) and Alex Bregman, and whether trading Rodón is the creative move the team needs. Off the field, the guys dive into the news of Sydney Sweeney's movie flopping at the box office, her beef with actress Ruby Rose, and the Eddie Murphy documentary, which sparks a hilarious, winding, and surprisingly academic debate about the proper definition and pronunciation of the word "swordsman."

BT & Sal unleash a fiery Yankees offseason demand: Cody Bellinger is a "must-sign" that the team cannot afford to miss, arguing they must abandon "fair market value" and aggressively "load up." They dissect potential trades for Steven Kwan and Alex Bregman and float the nuclear option of trading Carlos Rodón. The Mets side of the Hot Stove is equally hot with a shocking report that Brandon Nimmo is being "spitballed" as a trade piece, signaling a massive philosophical shift for David Stearns. Sal airs a hilarious personal grievance against Alex Rodriguez, who texts everyone but Sal. Off the field, the hosts dive into a bizarre celebrity tangent, debating the definition of "swordsman" sparked by Sydney Sweeney drama, and welcome Marlon Wayans to discuss comedy and crushing cancel culture. The show wraps with a brutal assessment of the Jets' upcoming primetime game and a controversial NFL Power Up Ranking that leaves the Chiefs out of the top spots!

Guest: Former Blue Jays bench coach Don Mattingly After three years with the Jays, Don Mattingly feels that his work is done and he is moving on. But before the 64-year-old tackles the next challenge in a life that has seen him involved in Major League Baseball since the New York Yankees drafted him in 1979, he joins us in Deep Left Field to talk about his time in Toronto. Mattingly went to the World Series for the first time this season and he discusses what they could have done better in the late innings of Game 7, but also compares this Jays team to his old Yankees teams in the mid-90s that would go on to build a dynasty. Also, as always, we open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!
