The Mets are not amused with Sal Licata. The WFAN midday host alleged the Amazins “have a toxic clubhouse” a few weeks back, and that “Pete Alonso is part of that.” That claim did not go over well in the clubhouse, according to Fox Sports. “That’s ridiculous,” Mets bench coach Eric Chavez said. “Whoever said … Continued

The real problem Yankees will have if they fire Aaron Boone
