Hour 2:
How realistic is it that Max Scherzer and/or Justin Verlander can be traded in the next two weeks? Gio would find a way to unload Scherzer. Jerry wonders if Scherzer or Verlander would even waive their no-trade clauses for certain contenders. Maybe these pitchers think they owe it to Steve Cohen to stick it out with the Mets. Will there be a market correction on the price for starting pitchers? Starters make too much money and good relievers don’t make enough. CLo returns for an update but first Jerry asks if golfing has cut into Gio’s boat time and Gio shares a story about a boat mishap. He’s losing it with his boat. Some guys out on the water in Suffolk are not familiar with Gio or WFAN. John Flaherty did play-by-play for Sunday’s Yankees loss. What happened to Anthony Rizzo? The Yankees bullpen is going through a tough stretch. The Mets somehow managed to win a game. What happened to Pete Alonso? Max Scherzer had a lot to say about mud in his cleats and his landing spot. In the final segment of the hour, Gio explains that he knows his slip problem is a first-world problem but it’s still frustrating. We hear from callers who feel Gio’s pain. Gio and Jerry discuss other embarrassing moments to have strangers witness.
