The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber on why this Yankees team may be different from the ones we've seen in recent years. Plus, Chris McMonigle makes the case to Craig Carton that the Yankees are better off with Ben Rice and Max Fried than with Juan Soto (17:28); Boomer Esiason and Greg Giannotti wonder if Rice can hit more home runs than Aaron Judge (39:29); Evan & Tiki on George Lombard Jr.'s rise to Triple-A (48:00); Craig and C-Mac interview the Twin Stripe Reporters (1:03:13).

This week's Mets highlights - or lowlights - include Gregg Giannotti declaring the season dead at the end of April, while Chris McMonigle went off on the team finding ways to lose after dropping the series finale to the Nationals. Plus, Craig Carton ripped the roster of "mercenaries," while Evan and Tiki examine the looming questions for the rest of the season, including jobs that will be on the line.

Russell Wilson and the Jets reportedly have mutual interest, and Evan Roberts has A LOT to say about it. Boomer Esiason believes the move would make sense and he would be "all for it." Plus, Evan and Tiki debate if Gang Green should try to swing a trade for Shedeur Sanders!
