Mets/Yankees, Knicks, Rangers/Isles, Giants

Published on: 12th March, 2024

Hosts Rob Fried and Hector Moquette open the show with an upbeat assessment of the New York Mets spring training progress, highlighting their potential to contend for a wildcard spot in the competitive National League. Switching gears, they turn their attention to the New York Yankees, recognizing the team's strong roster and even daring to predict a thrilling World Series showdown against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The conversation then turns to basketball, with the hosts scrutinizing the New York Knicks reliance on Julius Randle and the crucial need for the team to stay healthy to avoid an early playoff exit. On the ice, both the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders are deemed ready for postseason success, with promising prospects of deep playoff runs for both teams.

However, frustration bubbles up when discussing the New York Giants offseason moves. The hosts express disappointment over the team's failure to secure key players like Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney, emphasizing the urgent need for the Giants to address their quarterback situation, perhaps by considering draft prospects like Michigan's J.J. McCarthy.
