The Mets manager compared his general manager to the late architect of the Yankees’ late-1990s dynasty during an interview with Mike Francesa. “Billy has been a pillar of work and diligence and caring,” Showalter said on the WFAN legend’s latest BetRivers podcast. “It’s been fun to work … Continued
Immanuel Quickley — not Obi Toppin or Quentin Grimes — is the young player who Knicks brass needs to prioritize this offseason.

As far … Continued

The Yankees are bring peashooters to their rivalry with the Astros. WFAN legend Mike Francesa did not mince words after the Bronx Bombers were swept in Thursday’s doubleheader in Houston. The pair of wins gave the Astros a 5-2 edge in the now-completed season series. It also pulled them to within two games of the … Continued
In the big picture, the Yankees losing the season series to the Astros, and decisively, likely isn’t a big deal.

Aaron Judge and the Yankees had done everything right in their free agency dance.

The Nationals tried — or at least made an effort to give that impression … Continued
The Yankees went from limping into the All-Star break to charging into it within hours. It had been a rough week for the Bombers.

These Day 3 draft picks could earn significant roles for the Giants.
Under normal circumstances, we’d be discussing takeaways from the Yankees‘ three-game set with the Reds that just wrapped. Except these aren’t normal circumstances.

These three Jets position groups could decide whether or not the team is headed to the playoffs.
Sweet vindication for NBA reporter and internet meme Brian Windhorst. He was right. The Jazz are indeed up to something. They traded Rudy Gobert and now, it appears, they’re willing to trade Donovan Mitchell. Utah is reportedly now willing to listen to trade offers for their best player, a New York native who loves the … Continued
