The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle

Craig Carton is back alongside Chris McMonigle on The Carton Show, and he wastes no time unloading on the Mets after they were swept by the Red Sox and stumbled into the All-Star break at 17 games under .500.

Jalen Brunson played through the Finals with a wrist injury that required surgery, and Chris McMonigle raves about how the Knicks MVP is the toughest star we have in this city. Jerry Recco wonders how the Mavericks possibly let this tough superstar get away. Plus, Evan and Tiki react to the Knicks signing Andre Drummond to replace Mitchell Robinson, while C-Mac gives his take on Robinson's long-winded social media message explaining his mysterious hand injury suffered just before the NBA Finals.

Boomer Esiason got the attention of Mets fans when he declared that the team needs to trade Francisco Lindor before the deadline. That led to Evan and Tiki debating if trading Lindor would really make sense for the Mets, and if it is even possible. Plus, reactions to Mike Francesa claiming that a Lindor/Juan Soto feud was sparked by the lack of a welcome message after Soto signed, and Boomer and Jerry believe there has to be more to the team's decision to let Pete Alonso walk.

Brian Cashman gave a discouraging update on Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, leading Chris McMonigle to wonder if Stanton will return at all this season. Plus, Evan Roberts wonders if it is far to worry that Judge won't be back this season either. Evan also says the Yankees need to trade for Tarik Skubal, while C-Mac declares that the Yanks need to cut ties with Anthony Volpe.

Chris McMonagle analyzes the impact of injuries to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, suggesting the Yankees make a massive move for a middle-of-the-order bat like Rafael Devers. They also debate which Mets players are truly untouchable in a 'Would You, Wouldn't You' trade segment while sharing rules for summer driving etiquette.
