Semien in Queens: A Masterstroke or a Massive Mistake?
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Tue Dec 23 2025
Description: In this high-energy segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis tackles a wave of frustrated Mets callers who are skeptical of David Stearns' latest roster overhaul—specifically the acquisition of veteran second baseman Marcus Semien. While fans point to Semien’s age and recent batting average dip, Moose urges the "Orange and Blue" faithful to look at the bigger picture. He challenges the notion that the previous core (Alonso, McNeil, Nimmo) was "getting it done," reminding listeners that "the painting is not finished yet." From debating Semien’s Gold Glove defense to calling out the "leaky ship" culture in the front office, Malusis delivers a passionate defense of a front office trying to break the cycle of insanity in Queens.
