Yankees catching prospect Austin Wells caught up with his fellow Baby Bombers and hit his first career home run on Wednesday. Wells’ garbage time solo shot came off of former Yankee Erik Swanson. Statcast measured it at 416 feet and, at best, it kept the Yankees from getting shut out. First big league homer for … Continued

Not only … Continued
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is currently projected to hit free agency following the 2024 season. There have been a plethora of rumors saying New York could trade him this winter.

Outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux had this to say about Giants fans’ criticism amid the team’s comeback win over Arizona.
As we near the end of a disappointing season for the Yankees, many are hoping for significant changes this winter. It’s undetermined exactly what might happen at this point. But if you ask a sea of Yankee fans about a player that needs to be elsewhere in 2024? There’s a good chance the majority will … Continued
The Yankees, chasing the final Wild Card spot, now have some critical games against a team in their way: The Toronto Blue Jays. We’ve all seen the movie that Vlad Guerrero Jr. markets with passion worthy of Tommy Wiseau. Toronto talks and talks and talks, literally, all offseason about how not only is the World … Continued
Technically, Giants running back Saquon Barkley hasn’t been ruled out for Big Blue’s Week 3 game against the San Francisco 49ers yet. But, that’s probably just head coach Brian Daboll being stubborn. With Barkley considered week to week with an ankle sprain, should Joe Schoen make a move? Joe Rivera of Sporting News thinks so, … Continued
We’ve talked quite a bit about how 2023 hasn’t gone according to plan for both the Mets and Yankees. It doesn’t appear as though manager Aaron Boone is in great danger of losing his job. Plus, Aaron Judge has publicly supported him. The same thing has happened across town with Francisco Lindor in support of … Continued
The news of the day on Tuesday in local sports talk radio: ESPN Radio New York’s decision to give its FM signal the heave-ho next year. What does it mean? That is anyone’s guess. It could have a big impact. It could have a small impact. It could have no impact. But while we wait … Continued
If there’s one highlight that perfectly sums up how things have gone for the Mets in 2023, it happened on Tuesday night in Miami with Joey Lucchesi on the mound.

Outside of the end result, the 2022 MLB season was exciting for New York baseball fans. The Mets and Yankees combined for 200 regular-season wins.

That’s a huge … Continued
The 2023 season hasn’t at all gone how the Yankees had hoped. They entered with championship aspirations. But with two weeks left in the regular season, New York is 76-74 with very, very slim hopes of reaching the postseason. The Bombers’ rotation has been a huge disappointment, and that includes Luis Severino. Should the right-hander, … Continued
WFAN legend Joe Benigno had a lot to say following the Jets’ 30-10 loss to the Cowboys in Week 2.
Despite all the depression from Jets fans over Aaron Rodgers’ Week 1 injury, there was one thing to be optimistic about: New York beat the Bills. They were 1-0 heading into Week 2, and Zach Wilson didn’t look terrible under center at MetLife Stadium. After losing to Dallas 30-10, we’re unfortunately back to the same … Continued
Some folks do not want Sage Steele to stick to sports. From The Post: Sage Steele is reportedly being eyed for a potential run at a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

I’m not going to lie to you lovely folks. I don’t follow any kind of professional wrestling (I was a Hulk Hogan fan as a kid, but that’s about the extent of it). Before watching the below clip, I had no idea who MJF was. He caught my attention by roasting the likes of Chipper … Continued
We only have about two weeks of the regular season left. Instead of the Mets making preparations for October, they’re already looking ahead to the offseason and how to build a competitive team for the 2024 campaign. Could those preparations for Billy Eppler and David Stearns include a run at Shohei Ohtani? It seems like … Continued
The Giants managed to stabilize their season Sunday in Arizona. And Saquon Barkley reinforced his status as the organization’s most-polarizing member. The star running back had a good day — 63 rush yards, 29 receiving yards, two touchdowns — in Big Blue’s come-from-behind 31-28 win over the Cardinals. But he was injured in the waning … Continued
At halftime of the Giants’ Week 2 matchup vs. the Arizona Cardinals, it looked like Big Blue was headed for another humiliating defeat. The Cowboys beat them 40-0 in Week 1 and Arizona was up 20-0 after two quarters. But that’s when Daniel Jones and the squad woke up to give everyone some hope. Could … Continued
Prior to Opening Day of the 2023 regular season, there were high hopes for both the Mets and Yankees. And not just for returning to the postseason.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is in a bit of a slump in recent years regarding big midseason trades. The most recent one took place at the 2022 trade deadline. New York acquired Frankie Montas from the Oakland Athletics. His time on the mound in 2022 went terribly, and it’s only gotten worse from there. … Continued
Star Jets running back Breece Hall seemed unhappy with his lack of usage in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys.
Well, that escalated quickly. We went from lamenting over another no-show from the Giants to watching some happy history (for a change). Big Blue entered halftime staring at a 20-0 deficit. They hadn’t scored any points in their first six quarters of the year and had been outscored 60-0. It was the first time a … Continued
Even with Aaron Rodgers being lost for an extended period of time, there was reason for optimism for Jets fans heading into a Week 2 road matchup vs. the Dallas Cowboys.

Daniel Jones and the Giants pulled off a 21-point comeback and defeated the Arizona Cardinals for their first win of the year.
There was nothing nice to say about the Giants’ Week 1 loss at MetLife Stadium vs. the Cowboys. That’ll happen when you lose 40-0 and fit a whole season’s worth of futility into four quarters of football. It couldn’t get any worse during their Week 2 matchup in Arizona against the Cardinals, right? Right?! Unfortunately, … Continued
The Jets are hoping to remain undefeated during the 2023 season. Their Week 2 assignment won’t be an easy one.

The Jets may have a big decision to make involving Zach Wilson if the now-starting quarterback has an impressive season.
The Jets’ season took a quick and dramatic turn on Monday night. Four plays into his team debut, quarterback Aaron Rodgers exited with what ended up being a torn Achilles tendon. Instead of trying to lead Gang Green to the promised land in 2023, his season was over shortly after it started. Or is that … Continued
Being a diehard sports fan can lead you to do things that someone from the outside looking in could never imagine.

Brett Baty knew 2023 was going to be an important year.

It’s déjà vu all over again, folks. Following an offseason where we fantasized about Aaron Rodgers leading the Jets to the promised land, we’re brought back to reality. And that reality is Zach Wilson being under center again as the team’s starter. Gang Green fought through the shocking disappointment of losing Rodgers after four snaps … Continued
Everything was set up for the Giants to make a statement in Week 1.

Big Blue got completely embarrassed, losing 40-0. … Continued
Before the wheels fell off for the Yankees this year, they were actually in a position to buy prior to the August 1st trade deadline.

The Yankees entered the 2023 season with championship aspirations. After all, they had just won 99 games, the AL East, and reached the ALCS the year prior.

The Mets and Yankees are doing opposite things this weekend, but they’re also kind of similar. Manager Buck Showalter’s club will be finishing off a homestand at Citi Field.

Sides agreed to a … Continued
Star Yankees youngster Jasson Dominguez will have Tommy John surgery on his torn right elbow ligament on Wednesday, reports Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.
