Summary

After getting crushed online for his “next numbers to be retired” Cinco, Shaun opens this segment by admitting he missed some obvious names, most notably Carlos Beltrán, a future Hall of Famer likely to go in as a Met. That sparks a quick cleanup of the list, including the realization that Aaron Judge’s No. 99 will almost certainly be retired long before some of the earlier picks. From there, the show pivots to fresh intel out of the NFL Combine, where reports suggest the Jets are open to listening on additional trades beyond Jermaine Johnson. The guys try to figure out who that could realistically be, why accumulating assets might be the strategy, and whether the roster even has enough desirable talent to move. Giants free agency chatter also surfaces as top agents meet with teams in Indianapolis.
