WFAN Daily

Craig Carton is joined by Yankees legend Jim Leyritz for an unfiltered conversation about the Bronx Bombers' season. Leyritz shares his thoughts on Jazz Chisholm's impact, Anthony Volpe's future, Aaron Boone's leadership, and what the Yankees need to do at the trade deadline to make a World Series run.

Craig Carton is joined by Zach Gelb, filling in for Chris McMonigle, for a packed show covering the biggest stories in New York sports. The guys debate whether the Yankees are still legitimate World Series contenders despite injuries, discuss Jazz Chisholm's impact, react to the Yankees' latest win, and argue over the Jets' outlook after the release of their new white uniforms. Plus, they dive into a spirited Jets vs. Patriots debate, preview the MLB trade deadline, and touch on the latest ESPN drama surrounding Ryan Clark.

WFAN’s upcoming arrival on SiriusXM sends Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber down memory lane, including Evan’s remarkable decision to quit his Sirius job so he would not miss the Mets’ 2006 playoff run. Evan explains why he took the financial gamble, how the season ended in heartbreak and why the risk ultimately helped launch his full-time career at WFAN.

Evan and Tiki also react to John Harbaugh making light of Jaxson Dart’s backflip, debate whether the Giants coach should address it privately and examine whether different offseason moves could have pushed the Mets into a pennant race.

Freddy Peralta’s miserable return to Milwaukee leaves Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash stunned by his postgame admission that he does not know what is wrong. After another rough outing, the hosts argue that David Stearns cannot be protected by the idea that nobody could have predicted the deal failing. He gets credit when moves work, and he deserves the blame when they become disasters.

The conversation also shifts to the Cowboys, where Evan makes an early declaration that Dallas will win the NFC East if its rebuilt defense can become merely respectable. Plus, the return of the offseason game “New Team, Who Dis” produces an immediate miss, and Aaron Boone’s vague update on Giancarlo Stanton creates even more uncertainty for the Yankees.

Jazz Chisholm’s explosive night against the Pirates proves why the Yankees cannot afford to trade him before the deadline. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash acknowledge Jazz’s frustrating inconsistency, but his power, energy and production in high-leverage moments make him essential to any potential October run.

The pursuit of Luis Arraez creates a major lineup dilemma, potentially forcing Jazz back to third base or the outfield after years of complaints about playing Yankees out of position. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton facing uncertain returns, the Yankees may need to ignore defensive comfort and build the strongest possible offense. After months of low-scoring baseball, the eight-run outburst felt like a much-needed night at an open bar.

Drew Brees joins us in studio to begin the hour. He discusses what it was like playing in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Brees recalls the end of his time with the Chargers and how he ended up with the Saints instead of the Dolphins.

Boomer thinks Francisco Lindor is not happy and the Mets should consider trading him. Gio believes this is shaping up to be the worst year in Mets history.

Craig Carton and Willie Colon break down a packed Monday on The Carton Show! Craig sounds off on Giants rookie Cam Skattebo after his viral backflip at Fanatics Fest nearly ended in disaster. Is the young star being reckless before playing a single NFL game? The guys also debate whether Yankees fans are overreacting after losing 2-of-3 to the Dodgers. Despite the series loss, did New York prove it can hang with baseball's best even without Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Max Fried?

The Yankees offense is drowning, Aaron Judge cannot be counted on to return soon, and Evan Roberts says Brian Cashman now has two weeks to save the season. Evan points to Cashman’s aggressive 2017 trade deadline as the blueprint, arguing that New York needs impact bats instead of waiting for Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells and others to suddenly turn things around.

Tiki Barber agrees the Yankees can no longer assume struggling players will figure it out, but warns there is no obvious answer on the trade market. With the lineup averaging just over three runs per game for a month, Evan and Tiki debate catcher and infield upgrades, a possible George Lombard Jr. call-up and why every mistake becomes devastating when the Yankees cannot score.

We saw it as a game with no action.
