Published: Aug. 28, 2024, 2:17 p.m.

Willie Colon is sitting in with Jerry today and Jerry keeps the positivity theme of the week going by talking about the Mets win to start the show. Pete Alonso got things going with a home run that tied him with Mike Piazza on the Mets career list. Sean Manaea was terrific again and Jerry says Manaea has been the stopper for a few weeks now. The Mets have an uphill climb to catch the Braves. The Yankees had a bad night in the field in D.C. Aaron Judge looked human. Willie says enjoy the show and worry about Juan Soto\u2019s free agency later. Willie thinks the Yankees are going all the way. Willie says there\u2019s no limit to what the Yankees should give Soto if he delivers a ring this season. CLo is in with his first update of the day and Willie does not remember him from when CLo covered the Jets. Willie had a great relationship with the media when he played. The Mets had a big night in the desert but didn\u2019t gain ground on the Braves. Jerry doesn\u2019t take the AL Central teams seriously. The Yankees struggled against Patrick Corbin. In the final segment of the hour, a caller suggests the Yankees can\u2019t pay Soto more than Judge but Jerry and Willie disagree. Then, Jerry has a bone to pick with some WFAN colleagues, including someone sitting in his chair today.
