The TV project won’t keep Carton from hosting his daily afternoon radio show on WFAN.
For more than three days, ESPN’s premier MLB insider Jeff Passan was oddly quiet on social media during a critical time in the sport’s history.
"How do I say this nicely... Carlos Baerga has a weird habit in the locker room before games."

Benigno is leaving a full-time role at WFAN 25 years after joining the station as an employee. His exit is likely to lead to Craig Carton taking his place in the afternoon drive slot alongside Evan Roberts.
Carton is apparently about to sign a deal to return to WFAN, where he'll host the afternoon drive show.
Wild Card tells a familiar story, but Craig Carton makes the narrative compelling.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Carton, Colleen from New York. First time, long time.”
