And now comes the biggest mid-April series in Yankees history. That sounds like hyperbole. But is it? There has been surprisingly little local consideration of this team’s potential self-sabotage, but that figures to change in a hurry. The Yankees will be at full strength when the Blue Jays arrive Monday for a four-game set in … Continued

The Yankees aren’t the most popular team in the league by a fairly wide stretch. If someone says they hate the New York Yankees, they … Continued
The Giants say they believe in Daniel Jones. Which is great. But it does not change the reality of the situation. Jones is injury- and turnover-prone. He has done nothing to prove he is a franchise quarterback through three seasons. And the Giants are going to be bad again this season, so the odds of … Continued
The Jets are selling, but the NFL’s free agents (and trade targets) aren’t necessarily buying. “What I heard on the Jets is, they were in on a ton of guys and got nobody,” an NFL executive told The Athletic as part of an in-depth free agency analysis piece. “They don’t have a selling point to … Continued

For us New Yorkers, it is practically a rite of passage. Because, to paraphrase the amazing Dani Rojas, baseball is life in the Big Apple. Whether you … Continued
Mike Francesa has hand waved Gerrit Cole. “Next time everybody better synchronize their watches before Cole pitches,” the big guy tweeted Saturday morning, clowning the Yankees‘ ace after he threw a fit over the pregame ceremonies before his lackluster Opening Day start. “What a lame excuse. Just pitch.” That’s been hard for Cole to do … Continued
John Jastremski knows his sports and when it comes to the Yankees, he has some thoughts about the 2022 season. Not only does Jastremski think newly-minted True Yankee Josh Donaldson is just who the Bronx Bombers need, but he’s also the cure to a greater problem. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Jastremski, … Continued

The New York Yankees are on pace to go 162-0 this season. Can it be done? Probably not, but a 1-0 start to a Yankee season is a good enough excuse to post one of my favorite Mike Francesa clips of all time. Can the Yankees or any team be as dominant as the Patriots … Continued

It’s not Opening Day without Mike Francesa’s annual over/under picks. The big guy offered his selections on his latest BetRivers podcast.

The Yankees went out of their way Friday to paint Aaron Judge and his camp as the unreasonable ones. That’s just the reality of the situation.

Here we go. The Yankees are unlikely to sign Aaron Judge to a contract extension before Opening Day, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The report leaves the door open for a last-second agreement — “barring a significant chance in the new few hours” — but that is not going to happen by all indications. This … Continued

The Robinson Cano trade has not exactly worked out for the Mets. He was awful in 2019, generally OK in 2020, suspended for all of 2021 for PED usage and now they’re just kind of stuck with him at $24 million a year for the next two seasons. But give Cano credit. He took a … Continued
