Rangers’ Aroldis Chapman had unwelcome Yankees flashback in Houston
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Former Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman can probably agree with that statement. What’s changed is his performance between 2022 and 2023. Chapman produced so little that the Yankees didn’t even put him on their postseason roster last October. He finished his final year in pinstripes with … Continued
Denzel Mims takes shots at Jets while getting settled in with Lions
Denzel Mims’ tenure with the Jets recently came to an end. While he may not go the Kadarius Toney route in talking trash, he made comments that can be interpreted as shots at New York as he gets acclimated to playing for the Lions. Gang Green selected Mims in the second round (59th overall) in … Continued
Yankees’ Aaron Judge just cleared another injury rehab hurdle
It’s not a matter of if Yankees captain and reigning MVP Aaron Judge returns to the lineup this season, but when. Manager Aaron Boone made his weekly appearance on the Talkin’ Yanks podcast Tuesday and said his star slugger had moved his rehab to Tampa. In Yankee-speak, that usually means rehab games. Sure enough, Yankees … Continued
Saquon Barkley reportedly asked Giants to trade him during contract standoff (UPDATE)
The Giants (or someone) are spiking the football on Saquon Barkley. Look what Pro Football Talk just reported hours after the star running back capitulated and signed a one-year deal to end his contract standoff: Per multiple sources, the Giants called a dozen teams in an effort to find a potential trade partner, back in the … Continued
Who will be Mets manager in 2024? Buck Showalter or field?
We’ve talked about how disappointing the Mets’ 2023 season has been on these here interweb pages quite a bit over the past few months. Before team owner Steve Cohen held a recent press conference, I wondered when he’d lose patience with this futility. Would it cost Mets manager Buck Showalter, general manager Billy Eppler, or … Continued
Saquon Barkley proves NFL’s point by putting price on elite running back play
Saquon Barkley just validated the market forces he claimed to be fighting. The Giants running back’s modified one-year deal — $10.1 in already-guaranteed franchise tag salary, plus roughly $900,000 in incentives — should infuriate the rest of his positional contemporaries. Because he put a price on elite running back play — $11 million a year. … Continued
Saquon Barkley’s all-important Giants incentives are no layup
Saquon Barkley just quadrupled down on himself. And early indications suggest he faces steep odds to make this gamble pay off. The star running back will report to the Giants after folding and accepting what is basically his already-standing franchise tag tender, plus $900,000 in incentives as a sweetener. The rub for Barkley: If he … Continued
This proposed Mets, Yankees trade deadline deal is absolutely outrageous
With the trade deadline fast approaching, it’s time to get nuts. The Yankees are probably going to be buyers, while the Mets aren’t ready to sell just yet. But could both New York baseball teams help each other with a trade before August 1st? I mean, it could happen. After all, Steve Cohen and Hal … Continued
It’s impressive how much Saquon Barkley botched Giants contract standoff
Saquon Barkley — according to multiple reports — had the opportunity to sign a multi-year contract with at least $22 million in guaranteed money last week. Not to mention the (potentially greater) value of whatever other offers the Giants gave him between last fall and the day he received the franchise tag in March. Barkley … Continued
Giants sign Saquon Barkley to surprise deal, avoid training camp drama
The Giants and running back Saquon Barkley have agreed to a one-year deal as training camp begins Tuesday.
Have Mets, Astros already agreed to a Justin Verlander trade?
We’re officially one week away from the MLB trade deadline, and you know what that means. Rumors are about to get awfully wild and we need to take everything that’s seen or heard with a grain of salt. The following rumor involving the Mets, Astros, and Justin Verlander doesn’t feel real, but there’s no way … Continued
Probable pitchers as Mets, Yankees meet for Round 2 of Subway Series
The Mets and Yankees entered their respective weekend series in a similar situation. Keep winning and they will likely buy at the deadline. But come away with more losses than wins, and it’ll get closer to the time when the white flag is waved. While it wasn’t impressive, Anthony Rizzo and the Bombers got back … Continued
Mike Francesa says Donald Trump is ‘unelectable,’ will lose to Joe Biden in 2024
Mike Francesa has declared Donald Trump’s campaign to regain the presidency hopeless. (Insert your Shohei Ohtani and Tiger Woods jokes here.) The WFAN legend was asked to handicap the Republican primary race on his latest BetRivers podcast. Francesa — who endorsed Trump in 2016, but voted for Joe Biden in 2020 — acknowledged Trump is … Continued
Giants great (and employee) warns Saquon Barkley about being ‘principled fool’
Carl Banks is a Giants great who had a few high-profile salary battles with the organization. So it makes sense for him to have a take on Saquon Barkley’s current contract standoff. But Banks is also still on the Big Blue payroll. The former All-Pro linebacker is the team’s radio analyst, appears on other team-powered platforms … Continued
Patriots making sure Ex-Giants HC Joe Judge doesn’t talk to Mac Jones
Giants fans are happy to have a real head coach leading the way for Big Blue these days. We’re talking about reigning NFL Coach of the Year, Brian Daboll.

Is nothing sacred these days? From Page Six: There was “blood and broken glass” at Le Bilboquet in Sag Harbor when two well-heeled old geezers allegedly got into a brawl. Eyewitnesses tell Page Six that “two guys in their 60s got into a physical altercation and started punching each other” at the upscale eatery, which … Continued
NFL’s star RBs held Zoom call to kvetch about their salaries
Talk about preaching to the choir. From ESPN: Several star NFL running backs took part in a Zoom call Saturday to discuss the depressed market for players at their position. Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb confirmed Sunday he participated in the call and said Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffrey also were in … Continued
Davante Adams can’t wait for Jets’ Aaron Rodgers-Garrett Wilson duo
It might be hard for Jets fans to pinpoint just one thing they’re most excited to watch this season. However, witnessing the Aaron Rodgers-Garrett Wilson connection must be a popular answer.

Yankees-Royals takeaways: Least-impressive series sweep ever?
The Yankees knew extending a four-game losing streak against the last-place Royals was unacceptable. The Bronx Bombers answered with a resounding series sweep in which they outscored KC, 18-11.

Mets trade rumors roundup: NL West teams lurking, NY ‘measured sellers’
It’s not over until it’s officially over. But, heck — it sure looks like the Mets should pull the plug on this season after another dreadful performance against the Red Sox.

Kadarius Toney got hurt 5 minutes into Chiefs training camp
Poor Kadarius Toney. First he gets hacked and now this. Andy Reid said Kadarius Toney "tweaked" his knee returning a kick at start of practice. — Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) July 23, 2023 A less-than-ideal start to the former Giants wide receiver’s first full season with the Chiefs. Toney was a Super Bowl hero for Kansas … Continued

Joe Benigno rules out full-time WFAN comeback
Joe Benigno worked a full schedule for WFAN last week. But no one should get used to it. A Friday caller — Stan in Westport — told Benigno he hoped his afternoon drive fill-in pairing with producer Tommy Lugauer would get green-lighted as a permanent duo. But Benigno is not interested. “Honestly, and I’ve said … Continued
Yankees’ Jose Trevino out for season with wrist tear
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino has a torn ligament in his wrist and is out for the season.

Are we about to have a real New York sports radio war again?
Craig Carton walked out of WFAN last month having accomplished what he was rehired to do: Bury Michael Kay and ESPN Radio New York.

Rival MLB exec has 3 bits of silver lining for Mets amid 2023 nightmare
After spending boatloads of Steve Cohen’s money, the Mets entered 2023 with the highest of expectations. The goal was to return to the postseason and make a deep run toward the World Series.

Jameson Taillon’s gem vs. Yankees sent Hal Steinbrenner over the edge
After a horrific 1-5 road trip coming out of the All-Star break, the Yankees will try to right the ship at home against the Kansas City Royals.

Who will be Yankees manager in 2024? Aaron Boone, plus 4 other options
The last-place Yankees are in a free fall, one so bad that we’re finally asking the question: What if this is the end of Aaron Boone? All the signs are there. Gleyber Torres is the only one hitting consistently well. Aaron Judge is still injured. Gerrit Cole is the only reliable pitcher as the Yankees … Continued
Aaron Rodgers isn’t planning on a one-and-done tenure with Jets
Before the Jets officially landed Aaron Rodgers in a trade from the Green Bay Packers, the four-time NFL MVP discussed how close he was to choosing retirement. But now, it doesn’t seem like he’s going to hang up his spikes anytime soon. Unless something magical happens for Gang Green in 2023, at least. The thought … Continued
Giants’ Saquon Barkley taking page out of Quinnen Williams’ playbook
It’s been a rough week for Giants running back Saquon Barkley. Or, should we just say “running back Saquon Barkley” for the time being?

Add LeSean McCoy to the long line of haters for Giants’ Daniel Jones
The Giants used this past offseason to make their priorities crystal clear. When it comes to the offense, they felt it was more important to lock quarterback Daniel Jones down to a multi-year extension instead of running back Saquon Barkley. But that doesn’t mean Danny Dimes has a lot of believers heading into 2023. We’ve … Continued
Bar A is more important to ‘Mike and the Mad Dog’ history than we knew
We missed this, but thankfully Awful Announcing did not: Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo is bringing his Sirius XM program to Bar A in August. It will be Russo’s first time doing a remote show at the Jersey Shore venue since the “Mike and the Mad Dog” days. And get this: Russo told Dan Patrick that … Continued
More proof that the Mets live rent-free in the heads of Braves fans
If I had to pick just one team that’s owned the Mets the most throughout the course of their history, I’d have to say it’s the Braves. Especially if the discussion is focused on the last 30-35 years of play. After all, they’ve gone to the playoffs 22 times since 1991, with 20 of those … Continued
