Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Wed Jul 08 2026
Description: Ken and Anthony continue debating a hypothetical Francisco Lindor reunion, with Ken now warming to the idea if it means upgrading a lineup spot currently held by Brayan Rocchio. A caller raises the idea that any Lindor trade should be run by Jose Ramirez first, since Jose took a hometown discount to stay in Cleveland, sparking a debate over how much say Jose should have in roster moves. The hosts agree Cleveland's strong clubhouse culture, unlike the dysfunctional Mets, is part of why the team has stayed competitive, and Ken says he'd defer to Jose's read on the potential addition. The segment closes by teasing the growing national criticism of Donovan Mitchell's new contract, which Anthony predicted weeks in advance.
