Earlier this week, we talked about how Yankees outfield prospect Everson Pereira has been tearing up Triple-A pitching. It’s been so impressive that the 22-year-old could force his way to the big-league roster soon. That’s exciting, especially since New York has been struggling to get into any kind of groove after essentially standing pat at … Continued
Earlier this week, the Yankees officially gave up on former top prospect, Deivi Garcia, by designating him for assignment. Signed as an international free agent, Garcia showed a lot of promise earlier in his minor-league career, but it didn’t pan out. He was just picked up by the Chicago White Sox. And, at 24 years … Continued
Giants fans should keep an eye on these players when the team opens up the preseason on Friday.
The Mets not only won a game after the trade deadline this week, but they also won a series! They took two of three from the Cubs and will now host the Braves for a four-game set this weekend. Saturday will be a doubleheader to make up for a rainout from earlier this season. Here … Continued
The Yankees just finished up a disappointing three games in Chicago against the White Sox. Their road trip drags on with three more in Miami against the Marlins. In addition to the potential signage we could see behind home plate, here are the probable pitchers expected to take the hill this weekend. Friday at 6:40 … Continued
Despite a depressing 0-6 road trip right after selling at the trade deadline, the Mets indeed remember how to win baseball games. They even won two out of three against the Cubs to start their homestand this week. As usual, first baseman Pete Alonso had something to do with it. He slugged at least one … Continued
Whatever general manager Brian Cashman’s plan was for the 2023 New York Yankees, it has failed worse than anyone could have imagined. Actually, following Wednesday’s series loss to the White Sox, it might be his worst failure yet in 25 years on the job. Failure is a big word for someone who not only has … Continued
The Mets just completed a very expensive and dramatic shift at the trade deadline. Several top prospects were inserted into the farm system, with infielder Luisangel Acuña being the crown jewel of them all. Immediately upon getting acquired via trade with the Texas Rangers, Acuña became the Mets’ second-best prospect, according to MLB.com. Once the … Continued
The Jets have options at offensive tackle, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers would like to see consistency at the position.
There’s no way around it — Yankees hurler Luis Severino is having a tough time right now. His struggles continued on Wednesday in Chicago. After taking a quick look at his pitch splits, Sevy isn’t getting relief regardless of what he’s throwing. Instead of starting New York’s rubber-game matchup against the White Sox, Severino came … Continued
When discussing the Mets’ disappointing 2023 season, more than a few will point to Edwin Diaz getting hurt in the World Baseball Classic as a catalyst. Based on how things have gone over the past few months, it’s hard to blame them. Once we knew the severity of Diaz’s injury and the ensuing rehab, a … Continued
Football season is upon us, folks. Training camp is in full swing, joint practices are happening, and the preseason is underway. Soon enough, we’ll see the Giants and Jets both take the field at MetLife Stadium in primetime for Week 1. Once that happens, we know what WFAN midday host Sal Licata is expecting from … Continued
The Yankees are still within striking distance of the final AL Wild Card spot. That doesn’t mean New York fans are exactly happy with what’s going on with ownership and the front office. With that being said, there’s a chance the “Fire Cashman” efforts will be making an appearance in South Beach this weekend. Manager … Continued
The Knicks and popular swingman Josh Hart have agreed to a four-year, $81 million contract extension according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The contract kicks in next season, as Hart had already picked up his $12.9 million option for this year. He was acquired from Portland at the trade deadline and was an immediate spark plug … Continued
Mets fans have been clamoring for Ronny Mauricio to get promoted to the big leagues pretty much all year. There have been many debunked rumors about it being on the verge of taking place, too. Could it finally be happening soon, though? General manager Billy Eppler recently detailed some of the things New York wants … Continued
The Yankees have had a void in left field all season long. You’d think that a prime time to fill that void would’ve been before the trade deadline. General manager Brian Cashman didn’t do that. According to SNY’s Andy Martino, the eventual promotion of top prospect Everson Pereira is apparently part of the reason why: … Continued
Randal Grichuk is, by any objective measure, a good hitter. He’s been in the big leagues for 10 years. He has a .251 career batting average. His career on-base percentage is .298. He’s hit 20-plus home runs five times and has had seasons with 17 and 19 dingers as well. And, most notably in the … Continued
Hal Steinbrenner has seen enough, apparently. The Yankees owner has already decided to retain general manager Brian Cashman, according to an NJ.com report. And he’ll probably keep manager Aaron Boone, too, as long as he can figure out a way for the Bombers to avoid the AL East cellar. And even then, it will probably … Continued
Go on #YankeesTwitter, and you actually won’t see anyone railing about firing manager Aaron Boone. Not even after Monday’s gutless 5-1 loss to the even more gutless, chaotic Chicago White Sox (the Bombers did win Tuesday) Rather, everyone is applauding Boone for taking home plate umpire Laz Diaz to task over his wide strike zone. … Continued
A lot has been made about the Mets’ near-term outlook over the past week. And rightfully so. I mean, what do you expect people to talk about after executing one of the most unique (and expensive) trade-deadline sell-offs we’ve ever seen? Will they be “punting” 2024 or will they put together a contender? The anticipated … Continued
The best scene of Tuesday’s “Hard Knocks” season premiere came when Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was breaking down film with his unit. It’s f–king awesome, man Ulbrich was not referring to a play by Sauce Gardner or Quinnen Williams. He was referring to a throw Aaron Rodgers made. And, really, summing up Gang Green’s … Continued
What’s worse these days for Yankees fans: watching the Bombers lose in frustrating fashion, or having to listen to manager Aaron Boone try to put a positive spin on it all during his postgame media session? It’s probably a toss-up at this point. However, there’s a way to make it better if you do subject … Continued
Yankees manager Aaron Boone is all the rage following his viral ejection from Monday’s 5-1 loss to the White Sox. A good night’s sleep later, however, Boone seems to have mellowed out about it all. Making his weekly appearance on the “Talkin’ Yanks” podcast, he elaborated on his long-simmering outburst. “One of those that just … Continued
Depending on how you view the Mets’ 2023 season, some of you may have thought it was over before it started with the injury to Edwin Diaz in the World Baseball Classic. Seeing how things have unfolded since then, it’s certainly a valid argument. But at least Pete Alonso is still around and on track … Continued
Mike Francesa said something on his latest BetRivers podcast that made our ears perk up a bit. The WFAN legend addressed the “horrific” breakdown of race horse Maple Leaf Mel last weekend in Saratoga. The horse, which had to be euthanized, is owned by former Giants and Jets coach Bill Parcells. Francesa, also a horseman, … Continued
As we sit here on August 8th, we’re just about one month away from watching the Jets and Giants begin their respective 2023 campaigns during Week 1 of the NFL regular season. Big Blue will play the Cowboys on September 10th, while Gang Green will be playing the Bills on September 11th. As it turns … Continued
After taking a small step forward in 2022, the Baltimore Orioles are reaping the benefits of its complete (and long) rebuild this year. They’re one of baseball’s best teams with an exciting roster full of young players. Ownership didn’t like one of their broadcasters literally doing his job, and now everyone is coming after them. … Continued
Recent events regarding the Mets have been tough to digest these days. Whether it was the trade-deadline sell-off or their winless road trip, the vibes are not immaculate at Citi Field right now. But with a farm system that’s recently been injected with a bunch of top talent, we can hope brighter days are ahead … Continued
The New York Yankees have designated former top pitching prospect Deivi Garcia for assignment, according to a team announcement. The Yankees also placed Carlos Rodon on the injured list with a strained hamstring and activated reliever Jonathan Loaisiga from the injured list.

It has been a while since the New York Times rediscovered Big Ten football is played in the exotic land of New Jersey. But the Gray Lady’s subcontractors are back on the case. Rutgers has been catching plenty of shrapnel amid the latest round of college conference expansion. And now The Athletic has jumped into the … Continued
Around this time last year, Blake Martinez was getting ready for the Giants’ 2022 season. He didn’t even make it to Week 1 in Tennessee, though. Big Blue made a surprise move by cutting the linebacker right at the end of the preseason. He then caught on with the Las Vegas Raiders before officially retiring … Continued

Not long ago, it seemed like the Jets would likely be signing free-agent running back Dalvin Cook. He went to the trouble of coming to Florham Park to watch a training camp practice and everything. But his interest in New York isn’t reportedly very high, so New York is staying engaged in other areas of … Continued
Yankees fans were disappointed that reliever Keynan Middleton was the team’s only meaningful trade deadline addition, but the veteran righty was ecstatic to leave the Chicago White Sox. Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Middleton ripped his former team and what he called its “no rules” culture. “We came in with no rules,” Middleton said. “I … Continued
With the Mets’ trade-deadline sell-off complete, there’s not much else for New York to accomplish this season. Going 0-6 on their most recent road trip further solidifies that fact. It’s time to just let the kids play, right? That’s true, but third baseman Brett Baty may be racking up innings in Triple-A for the Syracuse … Continued
While Brian Cashman was essentially doing nothing as the trade deadline passed, the Yankees were in the midst of a seven-game homestand vs. the Rays and Astros. New York ended up going 3-4, which included splitting four games against Houston. That’s usually nothing to write home about, but don’t tell that to outfielder Harrison Bader. … Continued
The state of the Yankees is such that even a four-game split with the reigning world champion Astros almost feels like a sweep. This is because winning or losing, New York’s lineup is slowly becoming more competitive. The at-bats are better. Being down in a game doesn’t automatically mean the Yankees are out and destined … Continued
The Mets just finished up a six-game road trip. They won precisely none of them. Now, they get to head home to face the Cubs at Citi Field as a team that was essentially gutted at the trade deadline. New York hasn’t won a game since last Sunday in Queens. That was when Justin Verlander … Continued
The Yankees came home after a weekend trip to Baltimore for an important seven-game homestand vs. the Rays and Astros. New York ended up going 3-4. They’re out of last place in the AL East but are also 4.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot. Now, the Bombers head to the Windy City … Continued

There were several reports indicating prominent Yankees appeared shaken after the team announced Domingo Germán will miss the rest of the season while seeking alcohol treatment.

The Jets and Browns officially got the football season started in Canton, Ohio on Thursday night by participating in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.

After demolishing Triple-A pitching for the Syracuse Mets to the tune of 14 home runs in 37 games, Luke Voit is once again a free agent. Meanwhile, the Yankees could use some help at first base now that Anthony Rizzo is on the injured list. Will the Bombers bring Voit home? Manager Aaron Boone was … Continued
While the rumor mill was churning in full force ahead of the trade deadline, the Mets were trying to enjoy an off day on Monday in Kansas City. They didn’t have to start their series with the Royals until the deadline passed on Tuesday. They were probably better off just skipping it altogether, though. Any … Continued
