The hour opens with a bizarre suggestion: Bringing in Peter Schwartz for a "muckbang" featuring mozzarella sticks. The focus quickly snaps back to the Mets meltdown, as a barrage of calls debates who is to blame for losing Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers. In the final update, we hear Evan Roberts' furious reaction to the move and David Stearns' non-committal answer on Pete Alonso. The action isn't just baseball—get a classic soundbite from agent Scott Boras, hear Vernon Maxwell call out the "dirty" old Utah Jazz, and catch the setup for this weekend's legendary Army/Navy game.

Jerry returns with the final update highlighting the Dodgers' reliever needs met by signing Edwin Díaz and playing Evan Roberts' livid reaction. Mets President David Stearns faced the inevitable question: will losing Díaz affect the push to sign Pete Alonso? Meanwhile, Scott Boras provided a classic soundbite, calling Ranger Suarez “armed and rangerous." Add to that a Moment of the Day featuring Al trying to name more than a few Utah Jazz players of all time.

Jerry is back with an update full of Mets venom, featuring an emotional Sal Licata saying "Good Riddance" to Edwin Díaz, while Frank The Tank vents his rage over the team's direction. Plus, baseball super-agent Scott Boras drops his signature wordplay about his client, pitcher Tarik Skubal, and the NFL's biggest surprise of the day: the Colts shockingly signed Philip Rivers to their practice squad.

Reactions are still coming in following the shocking news of Edwin Díaz leaving the New York Mets after six seasons and joining the reigning back-to-back champion Los Angeles Dodgers. We're starting to get a better picture of what led the All-Star closer to take his talents out west.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman get into the offer that the Mets made to try to keep Díaz. While they fell short on the dollars side, some are left wondering if the reliever simply wanted to join Los Angeles instead. The question now is: Where do the Mets go from here?Later, Jake and Jordan talk about super-agent Scott Boras giving his annual address at the Winter Meetings, where he discusses all of the big free agents he's trying to secure deals for. Then the guys talk about all the other transactions that went down in Orlando, including the Chicago White Sox winning the MLB Draft lottery and getting the first overall pick in next year's draft. 2:29 – Díaz-to-Dodgers fallout11:09 – Scott Boras scoreboard update31:55 – Around the League: Winter Meetings36:42 – White Sox win draft lottery Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown evaluate the Detroit Tigers with one week until MLB's Winter Meetings. Right-hander Dylan Cease kicked off free agency this offseason with a seven-year, $210 million contract from the Toronto Blue Jays, raising questions about left-hander Tarik Skubal's market next offseason. We break down agent Scott Boras' latest comments about third baseman Alex Bregman — and whether the Tigers truly need his leadership. We dig into the Tigers' interest in right-hander Michael King in free agency, then break down how president of baseball operations Scott Harris should spend his remaining $35 million (if the payroll target is $175 million). Greg Jewett, a bullpen expert, joins the show to analyze the relievers on the free agent and trade markets, including the best fits for the Tigers. He discusses everything from top-tier options to under-the-radar candidates, plus he reacts to the breaking news of right-handed reliever Devin Williams signing with the New York Mets. To wrap up, Brown digs into a bigger-picture organizational question: Do the Tigers have a pitching problem? Follow Evan on X/Twitter here. Read Evan's most recent work here

Boomer, Gio, and Jerry recap an eventful week in New York, including the Jets loss to the Patriots and Aaron Judge winning his third MVP. Plus, reaction to the Giants firing Brian Daboll; how must Daniel Jones feel about the Daboll news; a caller rips into Joe Schoen; Aaron Glenn continues to battle with the media; reactions on the Knicks and Scott Boras' Pete Alonso comments.

Scott Boras makes his pitch for Alex Bregman in an odd way along with other Red Sox news and rumors, Bruins have their win streak snapped, and Brad Marchand reaches a career milestone in tonight's Headlines.

Jerry kicks off his first update with the sounds of the Patriots beating the Jets, followed by Willie Colon declaring that Justin Fields simply isn't an NFL quarterback. Shane Bowen reacts to Brian Daboll's firing and looks ahead to the Packers. Aaron Judge takes home the A.L. MVP, Ohtani grabs the N.L. version, and Scott Boras is already selling the world on Cody Bellinger at the winter meetings. Boomer and Gio then marvel at Islanders rookie Matthew Schaefer being born the same year Boomer started at WFAN.

The hour opens with another rough night for the Jets as Justin Fields struggles after one early touchdown drive. Boomer and Gio question how the team can keep putting Fields out there if they want to win and build a real culture. What exactly is the plan for the rest of the season, and how can it involve anything other than moving on at quarterback? Jerry Recco delivers his first update with the sounds of the Patriots beating the Jets, plus Willie Colon saying Fields is not an NFL quarterback. Shane Bowen weighs in on the firing of Brian Daboll while turning the page toward the Packers. Aaron Judge wins the A.L. MVP, Ohtani takes the N.L. version, and Scott Boras is already talking up Cody Bellinger at the winter meetings.

The hour opens with the Patriots extending their run to eight straight wins over the Jets as Drake Maye continues to look fully in command. Boomer and Gio compare that stability to what the Giants must find for Jaxson Dart with their next head coach. Gio also makes it clear the Jets can't justify sending Justin Fields back out there and believes Tyrod Taylor must take over immediately. Jerry Recco delivers his final update of the day with the sounds from another Jets loss, including Justin Fields' uneven night and Aaron Glenn's defense of his performance. Shane Bowen discusses his role in Brian Daboll's firing, while Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani take home MVP honors. Scott Boras is already promoting Cody Bellinger at the winter meetings.

Jerry Recco's first update features the sounds of another Patriots win, Willie Colon declaring Fields is not an NFL quarterback, and reaction from Shane Bowen as he prepares for the Packers. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani sweep the MVP awards, Scott Boras starts hyping Cody Bellinger, and Boomer laughs about Islanders rookie Matthew Schaefer being born the same year he started at WFAN. Hour two shifts to the Giants' head coaching search. Will they go with an experienced veteran or gamble on another coordinator. Gio sees both paths as possible and compares the situation to how the Patriots built around Drake Maye. Mike Tomlin's name surfaces, but acquiring him would take a trade. Jerry returns with more Jets misery, Dexter Lawrence reacts to Brian Daboll's firing, Mike Francesa's old Ohtani take resurfaces, and the guys talk about Barstool's Internet Invitational. Gio then wrestles with his Week 11 picks after going 0 for 5. Hour three features Boomer getting an alert about California flash floods and praising the Patriots' uniforms. Gio reveals his new obsession with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and jokes that this is what aging men do. He also admits he struggles with scripted streaming shows if there are actors instead of documentary storytelling. Jerry brings more Patriots Jets audio as Brock Purdy prepares to return for San Francisco. The hour ends with Gio reacting to two unnecessary apologies and a batch of fun calls. Hour four opens with the Patriots winning their eighth straight over the Jets as Drake Maye looks fully in command.

Jerry's final update of the day features Justin Fields' uneven performance, Shane Bowen's comments on Daboll's firing, and Judge and Ohtani's MVP celebrations. Scott Boras pumps up Cody Bellinger, the Moment of the Day features a Chris Russo prank call, and the week wraps with Boomer and Gio's NFL picks for Week eleven.

However, the one race everyone speculated about—the American League MVP—finally delivered an answer on Thursday night.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the extremely tight race that saw New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge just edge out Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh to earn his third MVP award.
