Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Tue Apr 28 2026
Description: The Yankees are rolling again, but this season feels different. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether this team is simply another reliable 95 win Yankees squad or something far more dangerous. With Max Fried dominating, the rotation getting healthier, and Ben Rice emerging as a legitimate force next to Aaron Judge, there is growing belief this roster could become the best team in baseball. The conversation dives into why the Yankees’ pitching may separate them from recent seasons, whether the bullpen is the only true weakness, and what kind of edge this team carries after last year’s playoff disappointment. Evan and Tiki also break down the Mets’ continued struggles, Carlos Mendoza’s uncertain future, and why the Phillies making a managerial change only adds more pressure in Queens.
