A Shortened 2027 Season Could Tarnish a New York World Series

Baseball may be headed for a devastating 2027 work stoppage as owners push harder than ever for a salary cap. Evan Roberts predicts an extremely shortened season rather than a full cancellation, creating the possibility that the Yankees or Mets could win a World Series that fans immediately dismiss with an asterisk. Evan and Tiki Barber debate whether New York fans would care about the criticism before turning to the Mets’ deadline decisions, Freddy Peralta’s future, Juan Soto potentially moving to first base and the organization’s mishandling of Brett Baty. They also examine whether the Yankees could realistically land Angels shortstop Zach Neto and why the asking price would be enormous.
