Are you ready for things to get crazy, folks? Because that’s going to happen as we get closer to August 1st. David Robertson no longer plays for the Mets, but what other Mets trade rumors are flying around? It looks like reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, Justin Verlander, is dealing with them again. There … Continued
The Mets did something on Thursday we haven’t seen much of this season — they snatched victory from the jaws of what looked like a sure defeat vs. the Nationals. Unfortunately, that didn’t prevent New York from trading David Robertson to the Marlins. General manager Billy Eppler netted shortstop Marco Vargas and catcher Ronald Hernandez … Continued
Shaun Morash has become the most polarizing man at WFAN. But Gregg Giannotti has his back. Giannotti and morning show co-host Boomer Esiason fielded another wave of Morash calls Thursday. Almost all involved commentary on how Morash has overpowered hosts Tiki Barber and Evan Roberts — who the station’s new afternoon drive program is named … Continued
The Yankees managed to salvage a Subway Series split with the Mets in the Bronx this week. After a day off on Thursday, they’re set to begin a huge weekend series in Baltimore against the Orioles.

Every time it looks like the Mets are about to go on a run, they find a way to bring us back down to Earth. That happened in May with their five-game win streak, as well as in July with their six-game win streak. And then on Tuesday to open up the Subway Series, they … Continued
People around the Jets have been saying it since the moment quarterback Aaron Rodgers stepped foot on the field for OTAs in the spring. His presence has raised the expectations for the entire organization. Not everyone may like it, but that’s exactly what’s happening. Head coach Robert Saleh likened Rodgers to another coach who can … Continued
Giants general manager Joe Schoen pulled off a number of great moves to improve Big Blue’s roster this offseason.
As the Yankees prepare to face the Orioles this weekend, there’s hope outfielder Aaron Judge will be returning from the injured list. Whenever he does, New York could still use another outfielder. It’s too bad top prospect Spencer Jones isn’t ready for the big leagues yet. But whenever he is, one scout thinks he’ll be … Continued
The Mets went into the last edition of the 2023 Subway Series needing every win they could get. New York ended up with one victory and one defeat. Now, they switch boroughs and head home to Citi Field to face the Washington Nationals. Here are the probable pitching matchups at the moment. Thursday at 7:10 … Continued
Sean Payton just injected some #juice into that Broncos-Jets game in Week 5. Some pertinent passages from the Denver coach’s free-wheeling chat with USA Today: “It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” Payton said. “And that happened here. Part of it was their own fault, relative to spending so much … Continued
The Yankees recently did the unthinkable by desecrating the pinstripes with a Starr Insurance jersey advertisement patch. The fan base obviously isn’t thrilled, but what do the players think? We’ll never get a straight answer from them right now, but starting pitcher Carlos Rodon gave us a hint on Wednesday. He entered his fourth start … Continued
The Yankees and Mets split the Bronx leg of the Subway Series, just like they did in Queens last month. The trade deadline is less than a week away, and these four games really are a microcosm of each team’s season. Both the Yankees and Mets won a combined 201 games in 2022, enough to … Continued

Justin Verlander’s first year with the Mets hasn’t quite gone as planned. So much so that the Giants have expressed interest in the future Hall of Famer. Quite the rumor considering the endless Shohei Ohtani speculation. Verlander certainly increased his trade value in his last start too. Against his longtime nemesis Yankees, he pitched six … Continued
It is a day that ends with a “Y,” so Knicks president Leon Rose is hiding from the local media. The Knicks have declined a request from @TheAthleticNBA for team president Leon Rose to hold an on-the-record media availability. Rose has not spoken on the record to independent media in almost two years & has … Continued
I’m not going to lie…when the Mets signed Tommy Pham over the winter, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about it. Not only did it seem like he wasn’t New York’s preferred choice, but the whole slapping of Joc Pederson over a fantasy football squabble gave me pause. I don’t mind admitting when I’m wrong, though. How … Continued
Aaron Rodgers has been titillating everyone at Jets training camp with his arm. Mike Francesa says the future Hall of Fame quarterback’s handiwork should stay on the Florham Park practice field this summer. “If you see Aaron Rodgers in a preseason game, somebody should drug test the coach,” the WFAN legend joked on his BetRivers … Continued
Jets defensive end Carl Lawson thinks it could be a “detriment” facing quarterback Aaron Rodgers in practice.
Mike Francesa has a date (or two) in mind for when Mets fans can start to believe again. “They have to be .500 by Labor Day,” the WFAN legend said on his BetRivers podcast when asked about the Amazins’ hopes to mount a postseason rally. “Anything less doesn’t work for me, as even having a … Continued
The Mets and Yankees are getting ready for their final regular-season meeting on Wednesday in the Bronx. As they prepared for the series opener on Tuesday, a Twitter user (er, an X user?) made what I think is a valid point: Seriously tho, the fact that the Yankees and Mets don’t have one of their … Continued
Tiki Barber and Evan Roberts are WFAN’s official afternoon drive hosts. But the first two days of the new program have been dominated by sidekick Shaun Morash. An observant caller — Steve in Newark — dialed up morning show duo Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti on Wednesday to get answers. “Every time it’s on, all I … Continued
We all knew the Giants would throw a truckload of money at left tackle Andrew Thomas. It was just a matter of when it’d happen. As it turns out, that time is right now. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Thomas and Big Blue agreed to a five-year, $117.5 million extension with $67 million coming in … Continued
Last week, I had the misfortune of laying my eyes on a Braves-themed Mets hat that I’ll never be able to erase from my memory. I thought that was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. However, it was just outdone by an absolutely hideous Yankees-Mets Aaron Judge jersey mashup. Someone had the audacity to wear … Continued
Six storylines to follow when the Giants open up training camp: Saquon Barkley returns; are there cost-cutting moves still to be made?

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’ 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
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
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
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 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 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
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
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
The Giants and running back Saquon Barkley have agreed to a one-year deal as training camp begins Tuesday.
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
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 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
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
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. His 2022 success was even more pronounced after the absolute disaster that was the Joe Judge era. Judge somehow hooked on with the New England Patriots … Continued
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
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
