iki and Evan dive into the controversy surrounding Tom Brady's recent comments about the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Despite his former teammate Mike Vrabel coaching New England, Brady claims he has "no dog in the fight," sparking outrage among Boston fans and former players. The guys debate whether Brady is being corporate, disconnected, or just trying to protect his new ownership interests. Later, the show shifts to Major League Baseball as the Detroit Tigers make a splash by signing Framber Valdez, leading to a debate on whether the Tigers are now legitimate threats to the New York Yankees in the American League.

The hot stove finally cools down as the Detroit Tigers sign ace pitcher Framber Valdez to a massive 3-year, $111 million deal. Tiki and Evan debate whether this move makes Detroit a legitimate World Series contender or if they are simply capitalizing on a weak AL Central—and how they stack up against the New York Yankees in a potential playoff series. Then, the results are in for the show's MLB Free Agency Bingo. After months of tracking, a winner is crowned (spoiler: it's Tiki), while Tommy finishes dead last. The guys also pivot to a bizarre history lesson, discussing Robert Todd Lincoln's uncanny proximity to three presidential assassinations and the irony of the man who saved his life.

Hour 3: Tommy talks about free-agency for the Yankees and Mets. Plus, Jaxson Dart would've gone first overall.

In this episode of BaseballBiz On Deck, Mark Corbett and Mat Germain dive into a wide-ranging discussion covering the World Baseball Classic, MLB luxury tax realities, Rays stadium costs in Tampa, and the latest trade rumors involving the Pirates and Rays.With pitchers and catchers reporting soon, the conversation blends anticipation for the baseball season with serious questions about insurance, international tournaments, player safety, and league economics, along with several Tampa-specific developments.World Baseball Classic 2026:  Insurance, Puerto Rico & Player ConcernsWorld Baseball Classic and growing concerns surrounding player insurance coverage, particularly for Team Puerto RicoKey discussion points include:Insurance challenges for star players such as Francisco Lindor and Carlos CorreaWhy pitchers face higher risk in international tournamentsThe possibility of Puerto Rico withdrawing despite hosting WBC pool playHow MLB, players, and the World Baseball Classic share responsibility for coverageBroader concerns about fan safety, international security, and ICE involvement at global sporting eventsMark and Mat explore how these factors could affect attendance, participation, and the future of the World Baseball ClassicTampa Bay Rays Stadium UpdateThe 2.3 Billion Dollar Price TagA headline-grabbing figure sparks the next segment as discussion turns to the reported 2.3 billion dollar cost tied to the Rays proposed stadium and surrounding development in TampaStadium versus mixed-use development costsPublic funding compared to long-term tax revenueMayor Jane Castor's position as a lame-duck Previous negotiations in St. PetersburgWhy the project is being framed as an investment rather than a giveawayMark shares Tampa-specific context, including Gasparilla celebrations & the unusual sight of ice being placed inside Raymond James Stadium for a hockey eventMLB Luxury Tax - Who Pays, Who Benefits and Who Does NotMat breaks down the MLB competitive balance tax and how top spending teams continue to dominate payrollThe Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees leading luxury tax paymentsNearly 400 million dollars collected league-wideHow some small-market teams retain revenue instead of reinvestingWhy the system weakens competitive balance across multiple marketsCalls for financial transparency and opening team books in the next CBAOther impacting factors: Gambling revenue, international brand growth, and how winning teams build global fanbases.Pirates, Rays and MLB Rumors & MLB trade developments & rumorsThe Pirates being linked to Framber Valdez and the impact of a potential elite rotationBlue Jays and Giants also monitoring the Valdez marketBreaking News – Framber Valdez signs with the Detroit Tigers to the astonishment of fans and the Pittsburgh PiratesThe Rays continuing their trend of three-team tradesTampa Bay acquiring Ben Williamson, a defense-first infielder with offensive upsideHow Williamson fits alongside Taylor Walls and Junior CamineroWhy controllable, pre-arbitration players remain central to Rays roster constructionMat also discusses Colton Ledbetter's departure and how internal competition shapes Rays decision-making.Remember to try to find the joy in every dayLike & subscribe to BaseballBiz On Deck.  You may also find BaseballBiz on Deck, on YouTube at iHeart Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, & at www.baseballbizondeck.com Also you can find Mat at M-A-T-G-E-R-M-A-I-N dot B Sky social.

INTRO (00:24): Kathleen opens the show drinking a Little Wing Pilsner from Horse Thief Hollow Brewing Co. in Chicago. She reviews her weekend in Chicago and announces that her new cooking series “Kat's Kitchen” is available on her YouTube channel.    TOUR NEWS: See Kathleen live on her “Day Drinking Tour.”   TASTING MENU (2:12): Kathleen samples jerky from Chicago's Paulina Market, Russell Stover Dubai Chocolate, and Wally's Jalapeno Mustard.    COURT NEWS (9:14): Kathleen shares news involving Cher's Lifetime Achievement Grammy award, Post Malone pays tribute to Ozzy Ozborne, and Jelly Roll wins Contemporary Country Album of the Year at the Grammy's.    UPDATES (26:43) : Kathleen shares updates on Meghan Markle's jam jars overtaking Netflix HQ, Sundance moves from Park City to Boulder CO, a Waymo crashes into parked cars in LA, and the new US TikTok deal has an impact on users.    FRONT PAGE PUB NEWS (42:27): Kathleen shares articles on vacant Canadian malls being converted into senior housing, NFL quarterback Sam Darnold's grandfather was Dick Hammer (the original Marlboro Man), Southwest Airlines' first week of assigned seating is a disaster, Bill Belichick is snubbed as a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, a coyote swims to Alcatraz, and elephant tosses a tourist in Thailand, the New York Yankees have signed 13-year-old Albert Mejias, Missouri's “Elvis Judge” resigns, and Netflix's founder is opening Utah's most exclusive private ski resort.   HOLY SHIT THEY FOUND IT (40:04): Kathleen reads about a rare marten being captured on a trail cam, and Egypt's lost “Golden City” resurfaces after 3,400 years.    WHAT ARE WE WATCHING (25:25): Kathleen recommends watching the Waste Management Open PGA tournament, and “Victoria” on Netflix.    SAINT OF THE WEEK (1:09:45): Kathleen reads about St. Christopher, patron saint of bachelors, transportation, traveling, storms, epilepsy, gardeners, holy death, and toothaches.    FEEL GOOD STORY (1:01:28): Kathleen shares a story about President Lincoln's cats. 

The guys go back to the prediction desk and grade their NFL head coaching “bingo” cards now that the jobs are filled. Sean comes out on top, Evan salvages a couple, and Tiki somehow goes 0-for-10. Then the conversation shifts to the real fun question: which of these new hires is the first one fired? The Browns and Raiders dysfunction debate gets heated, Tom Brady's Raiders influence comes up, and the segment detours into a Michael Jordan ownership discussion before taking a caller who jumps into Yankees lineup controversy with Trent Grisham vs Jasson Domínguez.

A reunion the Yankees should pursue and don't sleep on the Mets rotation. Nolan McLean hype and Woody Johnson is undermining Aaron Glenn. Hour 4.

Brian Cashman should sign this former Yankee to boost a quiet offseason.

How do Giants fans feel about Matt Nagy as their offensive coordinator? Has Aaron Boone's time with the Yankees been a failure? Frank Isola says he feels like the Knicks lack of interest in Giannis is because they don't have the assets to acquire him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hour 2 keeps the spotlight on the growing divide between New York football franchises. The New York Giants officially bring in Matt Nagy, and the discussion centers on competence, development, and why this staff feels trustworthy under John Harbaugh, even if the hire is not flashy. On the other side, the New York Jets remain mired in dysfunction. Woody Johnson is painted as increasingly hands on, confidence in Aaron Glenn continues to erode, and fans openly wonder if there is any path to credibility without a complete reset or a powerful buffer between ownership and football operations. The hour also features a classic Posted & Toasted segment that dredges up old takes, cold tweets, and station personalities getting exposed, followed by a full blown showdown involving Aaron Boone. Boone fires back at criticism over how the New York Yankees handled Jasson Domínguez, prompting a deep dive into the actual numbers that turns anecdotal frustration into hard evidence. Add in raw Jets fan calls, season ticket soul searching at MetLife Stadium, and the growing sense that one franchise is moving forward while the other is stuck arguing with itself.

The show takes a sharp and hilarious turn with Posted & Toasted, as the crew digs up old tweets from WFAN coworkers and lets Tiki Barber guess who posted them before deciding who deserves to be toasted. It starts with an all time 2020 cold take shredding Doug Pederson and Matt Nagy while propping up Eric Bieniemy and questioning the greatness of Andy Reid. Tiki immediately sniffs it out as a vintage Shaun Morash take. Then comes a dark 2017 train ride tweet that shocks everyone when it turns out to belong to Chris McMonigle, followed by a 2023 confession from Evan Roberts admitting he roots against the New York Yankees just to hear Big Mac battle callers over Aaron Boone.

Things get personal when Aaron Boone unexpectedly fires back at on-air criticism, directly calling out comments made by Shaun about how the New York Yankees handled Jasson Domínguez. What follows is a full blown fact check, as Evan digs into every two-hit game Domínguez had last season and proves Boone sat him eight times immediately after, including against multiple right-handed pitchers. Anecdotes turn into data, and the numbers spark a heated debate about development, matchups, and trusting young players when they are hot. From there, the conversation shifts back to the New York Giants and the hiring of Matt Nagy. Callers weigh in on what Nagy really brings after his time with the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears, debating how much credit he deserves, what he learned from Andy Reid, and why his role alongside Jaxson Dart matters more than his head coaching record. The segment wraps with classic sports-radio chaos, including a live season ticket negotiation at MetLife Stadium, fan frustration boiling over, and a quick pivot toward the next headline involving Roger Goodell and league level scrutiny.

Frank Reich is alleged to be in Florham Park to that looks promising for the Jets. We take your calls on the subject as well. C-Lo's got Mike Francesa picking Seattle, Evan & Morash going at it over Yankees off-season non-moves, and a Moment of the Day featuring Roger Goodell sounding like Al's perv impression. We end with breaking news of Matt Nagy hired by the Giants.

C-Lo is in. Roger Goodell had a statement on the Tisch investigation they're doing and was asked if Bad Bunny will be making political statements during the halftime show. Aaron Boone on the Carton show did a Morash impression.

C-Lo's back with Mike Vrabel on whether the Super Bowl is must win or not. Tom Brady on whether he's rooting for a certain team. Plus, C-Mac's question about Yankees injuries goes on and on.

Roger Goodell met the media and was asked about Steve Tisch exchanging emails with Jeffrey Epstein, and Bill Belichick not getting elected to the Hall on the first ballot. Aaron Boone was on The Carton Show and they talked about his Eagles fandom.

Clubs are making a slew of deals including prospects as they get ready for Spring Training, and we analyze them on the latest Pipeline Podcast. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff start with the MacKenzie Gore blockbuster that sent five prospects (including 2025 first-round pick Gavin Fien) from the Rangers to the Nationals. They also examine T.J. Rumfield moving from the Yankees to the Rockies, a pair of righties changing Sox as part of a Jordan Hicks salary dump and the three-team Brendan Donovan trade that included a Top 100 Prospect (Jurrangelo Cijntje) plus two other prospects and two Draft picks. Jim & Jonathan also draft teams based on our Top 10 By Position lists and answer a listener mailbag question about under-slot overachievers.

The focus shifts straight to the Yankees as Brian Cashman publicly defends the decision to bring back Trent Grisham on a one year, $22 million deal and even frames it as a bargain. The crew breaks down why that explanation is driving fans crazy and whether the logic actually holds up in today's market. The discussion turns into a deeper argument about how the Yankees build rosters, the balance between spending and flexibility, and whether veterans like Grisham are acting as smart insurance or actively blocking the development of younger players like Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones. Is this disciplined roster management or the same thinking that keeps the Yankees from fully committing to their future?

In this hour, the guys dive into the latest controversies surrounding New York sports and the NFL offseason. The Yankees & Trent Grisham Saga The show opens with a reaction to Brian Cashman's recent interview, where he doubled down on the Trent Grisham trade and contract. The Debate: Cashman calls the $22 million deal a "steal" in the current market, while the hosts debate if Grisham is merely an expensive insurance policy that blocks younger talent like Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones. The Roster Impact: Is Grisham's presence stunting the development of "The Martian," or do the Yankees need veteran depth for a World Series run? Giants Ownership & The Epstein Files The conversation shifts to the reports regarding Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and leaked emails connecting him to Jeffrey Epstein. NFL Discipline: A discussion on whether the league will punish Tisch similarly to how they handled other owner controversies, or if the lack of criminal charges protects him. Future Ownership: Speculation arises on the Koch family's minority stake and if they are positioning themselves to take over a local team in the future. Super Bowl Storylines & The "Boring" Build-Up With the Super Bowl approaching, the hosts struggle to find compelling narratives, leading to a "Top 5 Storylines" list that includes: Sam Darnold's "Middle Finger Tour." Fears of a new Patriots Dynasty. The Seahawks/Patriots revenge narrative. Stefon Diggs winning a ring before Josh Allen. 49ers practice facility conspiracy theories. The Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Firing & Paternity Leave A heated discussion regarding the firing of Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and reports citing his two-week paternity leave during training camp as a point of contention. The Contrast: The hosts compare this to Bills coach Joe Brady's comment about missing his child's birth for a game, ultimately concluding that both approaches are personal choices ("to each his own") rather than fireable offenses. NBA & MLB Notes KAT vs. The Critics: A deep dive into Karl-Anthony Towns' statistics. While he is averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds, the hosts note this is his lowest career field goal percentage and effective field goal percentage, sparking a debate on his All-Star validity vs. Pascal Siakam. Reds Sign Suarez: Reaction to Eugenio Suarez signing with Cincinnati and what that means for the Mets' reliance on Mark Vientos.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone joins Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle on The Carton Show on WFAN for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense interview that hits every topic Yankees fans obsess over. Boone addresses long-standing rumors about Brian Cashman and analytics controlling in-game decisions, responds to criticism about accountability, and explains why he won't rewatch painful losses. Plus, Boone opens up on Aaron Judge's leadership, Giancarlo Stanton's health, Gerrit Cole's rehab, Anthony Volpe's future, bullpen struggles, running it back in 2026, and the pressure of managing the New York Yankees without a championship. A must-watch conversation during Super Bowl week as Boone heads to Tampa for spring training.

Chris “Big Mac” McMonigle finally gets his long-awaited meeting with Yankees manager Aaron Boone, and the guys predict absolute awkwardness and hero worship. That leads into a hilarious recap of a night at UBS Arena, including a fake speakeasy setup, Jon Ledecky playing it cool, and Big Mac getting ribbed on the big screen with an all-time mispronunciation of his name. The segment also dives into Tommy's Islanders rant being used as a full-blown hype video, how nervous that made him once the puck dropped, and why that moment meant more than any billing order on the scoreboard. From there, the conversation turns serious again with callers weighing in on the Steve Tisch situation, what Roger Goodell can actually do, and how many real questions the commissioner will face about it. It wraps with broader league talk, including revenue sharing, small-market realities, and why the NFL model works where baseball continues to struggle.

How do we survive the 24/7 news cycle without losing our balance—or ourselves? In Part 4 of our miniseries on mindfully engaging with the news, Rabbi Josh Feigelson introduces Shabbat Mind as a Jewish response to nonstop media and constant urgency. Reflecting on the disorientation of an always-on news environment, Josh reframes Shabbat not just as a weekly day of rest, but as a mindset that helps us step off the treadmill of breaking news. Drawing on the Hebrew connection between chadashot (news) and hitchadshut (renewal), he offers Shabbat as a practical path to staying informed while remaining grounded, present, and whole.

Since the time of it's opening over 100 years ago, Old Yankees Stadium housed the most prolific team in all of American team sport, and some of the games brightest stars. The Yankees did not have an auspicious beginning to their franchise. They were originally nicknamed the Highlanders, and from 1903-1915, they never won a World Series and they had losing seasons in 8 of 13 years. All that changes when the rebranded Yankees buy Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox in 1919. At this time they are sharing the Polo Grounds with their landlord, the New York Giants, and with the star-power of Ruth, they routinely outdraw their inter-city rivals in their own crib. Yankees owner Jacob Rupert realizes that his superstar slugger needs a stadium of his own. After scouting areas throughout New York City, Rupert decides to build his cathedral in the Bronx, just a long fly ball over the Harlem River from the Polo Grounds. After Babe hits the first home-run in Yankees Stadium History in a 4-1 win over the Red Sox, sports writer Fred Lieb dubbed the new structure, The House That Ruth Built; a moniker that would last throughout it's 85 year history. This week we chronicle the construction, history, moments and all the legendary players who called the stadium home, and the indelible mark they left behind in baseball history. #YankeesStadium #TheHouseThatRuthBuilt #JacobRuppert #BabeRuth #JohnMcGraw #DeathValley #FredLieb #GeorgeSteinbrenner #MonumentPark #OldTimersGame #BronxNewYork

The Yankees general manager has spoken, and we have a lot of thoughts on his assessment of the offseason, from Craig Carton strongly defending Cashman to Tommy Lugauer ripping the Yanks for essentially running it back.

A rare three-segment episode this week. First, in what is very much NOT a story, the host quotes Casey Stengel in a totally context-free way. Then a pitcher has to work hard to keep a team he doesn't like IN the World Series or risk professional extinction. Finally, a personal reflection on the way we live now, based very much on a real-life example of lightning striking twice in a truly malicious way. 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 4th and final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with Jets drama and classic WFAN chaos. Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic joins to break down the reported Jon Gruden phone call with the Jets, who made the call, Aaron Glenn's shaky footing, Woody Johnson's involvement, and the uncertain plan at offensive coordinator and quarterback. Plus, calls on the Rangers vs Islanders rivalry, Knicks history debates, Mets vs Yankees lineup arguments, WWE Royal Rumble predictions, and a hilarious edition of Idiots With Idioms to close out the show.

Evan starts by waving the white flag on winter, then quickly pivots into a debate that takes over the segment: why are Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks tickets at Madison Square Garden suddenly the hottest regular-season get in years? Is it the “last chance” to see LeBron James in the Garden, is it actually about Luka Dončić, or is it just pure MSG hype? The crew argues about whether LeBron even has a real Garden legacy, why Barclays does not command the same prices, and how much of this is New York chasing a moment they do not want to miss. Along the way, callers weigh in on the iconic player plus iconic venue theory, and Evan admits he once paid big to see LeBron and barely remembers the details now, making the whole “last chance” logic even funnier. Then the segment takes a sharp turn into classic New York chaos when a caller tries to pitch a blockbuster New York Mets and New York Yankees trade involving Juan Soto, and Evan shuts it down fast, with plenty of jokes and disbelief before the show rolls on.

The Super Bowl matchup is set. ATH reacts to both AFC and NFC championship games (1:34), a rant on Bill Belichick not making the HOF on the first try (15:57), and the Pro Bowl is officially dead (19:30) and the state of the NY Knicks (21:36).

After the free-agency frenzy that saw Kyle Tucker shockingly go to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bo Bichette signing with the New York Mets and Cody Bellinger opting to run it back with the New York Yankees, teams are starting to look more and more set for the 2026 season. However, there is still plenty of time for teams to do some last-minute shopping to bulk up before Opening Day.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman make their choices for the one thing that every team needs from now until Game One of the season. Could the Dodgers push all of their chips in to go for a three-peat and trade for Tarik Skubal? Will the Yankees have a resolution on what to do with Jasson Domínguez amid their crowded outfield? Who could the Mets trade away from their rotation after acquiring Freddy Peralta?Later, Jordan and Jake react to the breaking Minnesota Twins news after they parted ways with President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey at this point in the offseason. They then make their picks for this week's The Good, The Bad and the Uggla, which includes Alex Honnold maybe taking a shot at Garrett Crochet and the history that landed Aaron Judge in the Bronx.2:36 – AL East16:50 – AL Central30:54 – AL West37:13 – NL East50:23 – NL Central1:01:05 – NL West1:08:28 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Will this be the year the Yankees win a World Series again? (16:33) Bill Belichick has gotten everyone to come out and defend him. Tom Brady. Robert Kraft. And now the Pro Football Hall of Fame is releasing statements! (29:45) The Browns always seem to do something wrong. Todd Monken is the new head coach. Former Browns OC is back in the mix. And Jim Schwartz is pissed. (35:42) Review: It Was Just An Accident. (39:30) NPPOD. We have to talk about Giannis again. What is going on with the Bucks? (44:30) Is LIV Golf done?

Evan and Tiki kick off with the numbers behind what it feels like everyone has noticed: the NFL playoffs have been called looser, with penalties way down and offensive holding dropping dramatically. They debate whether it's simply better, cleaner teams or a deliberate “let them play” postseason emphasis, plus the rare moments when the whistle suddenly tightens and drives everyone crazy. Then it shifts back to New York sports expectations. A Yankees caller argues that being better on Opening Day actually matters and that Cashman can always patch holes at the deadline. That leads to a bigger discussion about how low the bar has gotten for Yankees fans, what upgrade they actually wanted, and why the bullpen still feels like the shakiest part of the 2026 picture. Finally, the Knicks conversation turns into a full-on Giannis reality check. The guys replay his famous “is this season a failure?” press conference exchange and ask the only question that matters if he lands in New York: can that mindset survive the Knicks' championship-or-bust pressure, the media, and the fan base after a playoff loss.

Evan and Tiki react to Brian Cashman's media session and the line that set Yankee fans off: the idea the Yankees are not “running it back.” Is he right, just terrible at saying it, or both? The guys debate whether last year's trade deadline basically was the Yankees' offseason, what's still missing without a true Soto replacement, and how the team should handle Anthony Volpe's rehab and role when he returns. Then the calls roll in, from prospect trade debates and “go get a bat” arguments, to a Mets tangent on Eugenio Suárez vs. giving Mark Vientos one last runway. Hour wraps with Knicks trade chatter and Mikal Bridges' brutally honest “entitlement” quote as Giannis rumors hang in the background. Time Codes 00:00 — Cashman meets the media, Yankees fans immediately annoyed 01:18 — “Just say it's similar” vs Cashman over-explaining why they're different 02:23 — The blunt truth: “They added ONE player” and it feels like the same roster 04:41 — Bigger issue: 15 years, one World Series run, and no Soto replacement 05:15 — Tiki's counter: Cashman is right, just said it in the worst way 05:55 — The trade deadline as the real “offseason” and why that's actually unique 07:03 — AL East framing: Blue Jays, Red Sox, and why “track record” matters 10:40 — “Leave no doubt” offseason vs Yankees budgeting, Dodgers standards, and choices 16:24 — Volpe update: “110%” and “deploy properly” sounds like a role change 18:49 — Call: Yankee fan talks trades, Dominguez and Spencer Jones, and patience 24:30 — Call: Mets tangent, Kyle Tucker opt-out mechanics and the Suárez debate 26:12 — Mark Vientos “final stand” season and why a one-year vet could block him 28:05 — Call: Paul Skenes trade fantasy, prospect “forbidden fruit,” and control years 31:17 — The “pied-à-terre” detour and why it turns into a comedy bit 35:42 — Call: Yankees flexibility, then Knicks trade anxiety after a win 40:14 — Mikal Bridges' “entitlement” quote, being coachable, and trade-rumor pressure 43:16 — Giannis reality check: if it happens, Bridges is likely in the deal
