Today’s word of the day is ‘siberia’ as in the Mets as in hitting as in terrible as in Soto as in Lindor as in Alonso. What happened to the Mets? It’s been over a month now and they are the worst hitting team in baseball. They have fallen in the standings. And the excuses keep piling up. The Boston Red Sox signed Roman Anthony to a longterm deal. Huge pre arbitration deal for him. Boston has now locked up its core all through at least 2030. Major moves! Nathan Eovaldi is having a career-year at 35 years old. What a season. Review: Up in the Air. Shohei Ohtani is the greatest. Just watching him in awe every day. We are so lucky. We also have an update on Roki Sasaki. Do you even remember him? We have history in the making. Jen Pawol will become the first female umpire to call a Major League Baseball game! NPPOD. No more position player pitching. The Rockies catcher gave up 8 runs to the Blue Jays yesterday. Toronto outscored the Rockies 45-6 over 3 games. Cmon! Mike Ryan Ruiz is here! We talk Messi, Inter Miami, and the Miami Hurricanes! When you have an expert you let him speak! Smelling salts are not banned. Who knew? Joint practices need to end. Mike Vrabel was bloodied up after breaking up a camp fight. It never ends! Teddy Bridgewater spoke publicly for the first time about his suspension as a high school coach in Miami. He was suspended for providing food, and Ubers, and recovery, and clothing for kids in inner city Miami. What are we doing? The Boston Celtics are shedding money.

Today’s word of the day is ‘equity’ as in ESPN as in the NFL as in billions as in Red Zone as in Roger Goodell as in Bob Iger as in journalism! Let’s discuss what the NFL is doing, what ESPN is doing, and what the future holds for us all. ESPN is getting the NFL. ESPN is getting the WWE crown jewel events. Bob Iger says that journalism will live there… how? The NFL has banned smelling salts. Huh? Ah, concussion cover ups! Review: Captain America – Brave New World. Will Kyle Schwarber get a career payday? He’s in the final year of his deal now with the Phillies and he is MASHING! Devin Williams fell apart again yesterday. Devin Williams is bad. The Yankees are bad. Jake Bird, new acquired? Demoted! NPPOD. It’s So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! Let’s start things off with a message from my Mom!? She asked about my friendship early on with Red Holzman and Jack McKeon. What was the most important thing I learned from them. How much can a team trade in cash to acquire a player? Can you spend $120 million to acquire Paul Skenes? Service time manipulation! Let’s go! Someone asked me about Jose Alvarado and the statement that he released. Are you kidding me? The Dallas Stars own the hockey rinks around the Frisco area. It’s become a nightmare for the locals. Woof. Revenue sharing. How does it work in MLB? Is sharing a percentage of revenue with employees a good business model? The WNBA has a problem.

Today’s word of the day is ‘crumble’ as in not the cookie as in the Yankees as in the Mets as in playoff races as in falling apart. Let’s start with the Yankees. Another blown save from Devin Williams. Another bullpen acquisition given up a walk off homer. What about the Mets? They’ve been bad since mid-June! Starting pitching stinks. Let’s review our July predictions. And then discuss some August predictions. Can you be a star in a small market in baseball? Can Elly De La Cruz be a star in Cincinnati? Let’s discuss because David Ortiz and Derek Jeter had some thoughts. Review: The Life of Chuck. What is the Browns plan at quarterback? Is it Flacco? Is it Pickett? Is it Gabriel? Is it Sanders? Is it Watson? Is it Huntley? The Chargers/Lions preseason game was watched by 6.9 million people. Wow. Jonathan Zaslow joins us! It’s his debut! Let’s go! Donald Trump came out and said that Saquon Barkley would be part of the council for fitness, or something. Well, it turns out that Barkley is not on that board. Jobs report. Giannis is on the Milwaukee Bucks. Why do we have to hear about this everyday? The Cubs are going through it. Last week they acquired Mike Soroka, and in his first start he’s hurt. Straight to the IL. Horrible.

Today’s word of the day is ‘reunion’ as in back in Miami for the first time to see a Marlins game! What a strange feeling being back. What a great feeling to see the stadium rocking. The Marlins are HOT right now! The Yankees are a mess right now. There is so much bad that this team does. The little mistakes add up and Aaron Boone is finding out the hard way that letting his players get away with those mistakes isn’t good! The Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox got into this weekend… over sign-stealing! But it was the Astros mad at the Red Sox! Review: Materialists. MLB had its Bristol Speedway Classic on Saturday. Disaster. No food. Bad views. Bad weather. A suspended game in the first inning. Nightmare. The NFLPA has its new interim boss. The same guy who was a finalist with Lloyd Howell. The same guy who had past problems. But the NFLPA doesn’t seem to care. Welcome David White to the party! Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys are in a standoff. Jerry Jones looked at Parsons’ trade request and laughed. Jones looked at the fans and laughed. Jerry Jones will not change. Year in and year out, it’s all the same! Who is right and who is wrong here? ESPN and the NFL have an agreement over media assets. It’s a monster deal. Billions of dollars. NPPOD What is going on with the Connecticut Sun? Are they moving to Boston? Are they being sold? We got a Commanders vote. The first approval has been done by the D.C. City Council. But it’s still not done. More talking, more votes, more revisions. Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio wants to do away with prop bets. Two Cleveland Guardian pitchers are out right now as an investigation is ongoing into betting on baseball. Luka is back with the Lakers. He’s got a new deal. He’s setting himself up for an even greater deal.

Today’s word of the day is ‘whirlwind’ as in so many trades as in deadline as in mayhem as in Padres as in Astros as in buyer as in sellers! What a day it was! Let’s kick things off with the San Diego Padres. AJ Preller has done it again. Trading away one of the top prospects in all of baseball for a reliever and a starting pitcher. Wow. Carlos Correa is back with the Astros! And the Twins are paying big money in order to save money. The Astros are going for it again. The Twins have traded everyone. 11 players traded away. 40% of the roster switched over. It’s time for a Front Office Roundup. So many GMs and team presidents spoke yesterday. These were our favorites. Review: On Swift Horses. NPPOD. Wait to see updates! And now it’s time for Coca Friday! We chat about MLB Trade Deadline! ABS! Replay! A lot of baseball talk!

Today’s word of the day is ‘arms race’ as in trades as in flurry as in Mets as in Phillies as in Mariners as in buyers as in sellers! Let’s start with the slugger. Eugenio Suarez is back to the Mariners. Big pop. Joins Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. The Mets and Phillies is the real arms race. The Mets trade for a bullpen arm. The Phillies trade for a closer. The Mets then trade for another bullpen arm! That’s how it goes. The divisional race then the bullpen race. The Reds have traded for Ke’Bryan Hayes from the Pirates. He is an elite defensive player. He is so bad at the plate. The Red Sox traded for Steven Matz last night. He’s a starter that’s been in the bullpen. Review: Field of Dreams. Shohei Ohtani was pulled from his start for cramping in his hip. It was the first time he went into inning 4 this year. He stayed in the game as DH. NPPOD. Let’s talk about the Yankees and Anthony Volpe. The errors won’t stop. The great, the legendary, the broadcast God, Bob Costas joins us! We talk hall of fame, we talk Ryne Sandberg, we talk hall of fame voting, we talk the state of baseball! Max Scherzer is a funny guy. He said he can’t wait to have a face-to-face with Rob Manfred. Why? You have his number! Shannon Sharpe is out at ESPN. Done. Finished. Just weeks after his lawsuit was settled. Gilbert Arenas was arrested for hosting poker games. Here’s why he can’t do that.

Today’s word of the day is ‘Fleetwood Mac’ as in rumors as in trade deadline as in the Miami Marlins as in sellers as in buyers! The Marlins have two of the biggest trade chips in the sport right now with Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera. What calls are they taking? Are they holding out for more? The Giants have the worst record in baseball since the trade for Rafael Devers. Oh boy. What will Buster Posey do? We have a rare trade! A trade in-between a doubleheader! The Minnesota Twins are finished. Byron Buxton is hurt again. Horrible. Ronald Acuna is hurt again. This is a sad one. He’s missed so many games due to injury. Framber Valdez was not happy with his teammate. Review: The Accountant 2. There’s been updates on the shooting in NYC the other day. The man had a suicide note about his brain, and CTE, and how much he hated the NFL. Jimmy Haslam had some more quotes that need to be discussed. He’s the owner of the Cleveland Browns. NPPOD.

It’s another So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! Let’s go! First up is about Tom Brady and his comments about Scottie Scheffler and fatherhood. Hmm. How much control does the manager have during and before a game? Does a manager like Bruce Bochy get more control? Does the Yankees ownership cave to fans? Why doesn’t MLB have a RedZone channel? Is this something they will do? How do teams authenticate that trade proposals are real?

Today’s word of the day is ‘sadness’ as in just a terrible morning for so many of us. Ryne Sandberg died last night after a long battle with cancer. Sadness because of a mass shooting in New York City yesterday after a gunman stormed a building and killed four people. What are we doing? What is this country? Trying to honor Ryne Sandberg on a day like today is hard, but he deserves it. Bryce Harper and Rob Manfred got into it. Wow. Harper cussed out Manfred over a meeting that the commissioner was having with the Phillies. Manfred stood his ground. This CBA negotiation will be ugly. Review: Sovereign. Eugenio Suarez was hit on the hand yesterday. Uh oh. X-rays were negative, sigh of relief. Emmanuel Clase is under investigation for gambling. Here we go again. Tom Bogert joins us! We have soccer talk! Thomas Muller transfer to MLS? Messi is mad at MLS? Tom will break it all down! Steph Curry thinks he’s underpaid. Here is why. Equity. NPPOD. NFL players are in big trouble for selling Super Bowl tickets. Uh oh! The NFLPA is still going through it. Every week is a new story. This time its a criminal investigation into funds.

Today’s word of the day is ‘surreal’ as in what a weekend as in Hall of Fame as in Ichiro Suzuki as in CC Sabathia as in Billy Wagner as in Dave Parker as in Dick Allen. An unbelievable weekend. I’m still a bit speechless with what happened in Cooperstown. This first hour is all about the Hall of Fame. There’s just too much to cover. Aaron Judge is hurt. Horrible. Having one of the best offensive seasons we’ve ever seen, and now a flexor strain and straight to the IL. The Astros got swept by the Athletics. So many injuries for Houston. How will they respond? Are reinforcements coming? The Atlanta Braves are finished. All five Opening Day starters are on the IL. That’s how fast things end in MLB. Seth Lugo is signing an extension with the Royals. One of the biggest trade chips is now off the market. Review: Stick. NPPOD

Today’s word of the day is ‘induction’ as in Hall of Fame as in Ichiro as in CC as in the best of the best as in Cooperstown! The weekend is finally here! My guy! Our guy! Ichiro Suzuki! What a weekend it’s going to be and I’ll be there! The trades are starting! The Arizona Diamondbacks traded Josh Naylor yesterday to the Seattle Mariners. Seattle desperately needed to make that move. The Washington Commanders still need a stadium. Despite President Trump’s threats, the D.C. Council still needs to vote. The clock is ticking if the city wants a new stadium on the Commanders timeline. Review: KPop Demon Hunters. Austin, Texas wants baseball. It’s trying to get a Major League Baseball team. It really doesn’t have a chance. Hulk Hogan has died at 71. What a life.

Today’s word of the day is ‘defensive’ as in the Yankees as in Aaron Boone as in ejected as in the Blue Jays as in errors. The Yankees defense has been bad. Anthony Volpe has been bad. The Yankees are now 4 games back of the Blue Jays and lost the tiebreaker if the season ends tied. Let’s talk about Boone and his comments postgame. Automated ball-strike system is coming to baseball. It’s a guarantee. The union is going to do what it can to make the transition as difficult as possible. Tony Clark wants a buffer-zone? WHAT!? Would you trade for Dylan Cease? That’s the big question for teams right now. Why are the Padres selling? Shohei Ohtani is magic. Everything he does is magic. Are you paying attention? Review: RRR. Review: Part 2: One Night in Idaho. NPPOD. Mets got a sweep of the Angels. Are they back? Is the team ready? But let’s talk about Mike Trout. Jim Bowden joins us today! He’s an MLB Insider for CBS Sports, The Athletic, and you can hear him on SiriusXM. Let’s get into the trade deadline. The Diamondbacks and Twins are the two teams that have to sell! What other teams should we be paying attention to? Messi didn’t play in the All-Star Game yesterday. Wow. For rest? NFL isn’t going anywhere. The Packers financials came out. And MONEY! But that’s not all. More NFLPA drama. A concession strike! No food or drink for you at Fenway!

Today’s word of the day is ‘crazy train’ as in Ozzy Osbourne as in he Prince of Darkness as in Parkinson’s as in the MLB season. Let’s start with Rafael Devers. He made his debut at first base with the Giants yesterday. Said he loves playing the field. Oh? Aaron Boone is having a rough go of it right now. He went off on the Jomboy team. The Yankees have a problem with Anthony Volpe. He has been bad bad bad at short stop, and Boone and Cashman will defend him to the grave. Ethan Holliday is the new record holder in Draft history. A monster $9 million signing bonus! Review: My Mom Jayne. The Los Angeles Times going public? That’s the plan. Will it work? NPPOD. Qatar wants the Olympics in 2036. Is it going to happen? It’s So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! First up, someone asked me about an owner being forced out. What would it take? How does it work? Someone asked me about how taxes work for athletes. Do they have to play in games to be taxed? Just show up? A correction for Coca? It can’t be! Why has no one asked Mookie Betts about that early season sickness? He lost a lot of weight. He has not been himself this year. Pat McAfee wanted to step up and pay for budget cuts. Hmm. What is a workout like for a player that wants to be signed in season? The Phillies signed David Robertson recently. How did that look? We have a question about the WNBA and CBA negotiations. Does expansion mean anything for leverage?
