Description: Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand? The guys debate the "bastardization" of the captaincy in MLB, leading to a heated argument about John Franco’s tenure wearing the "C." Later, they decode Cohen’s "good boy" comments regarding a potential MLB salary cap and why Evan is convinced the owner is just playing nice with the league. Plus, a look at the available free-agent quarterbacks for the Jets—is Derek Carr the stabilizer they need?—and Evan prepares to pressure Carlos Mendoza on batting Juan Soto leadoff.
