Yankees should consider locking down Harrison Bader

Yankees should consider locking down Harrison Bader

Josh Benjamin

Anyone paying attention to the Yankees has Harrison Bader on the mind, and why wouldn’t they? The spunky center fielder is batting .333 with three home runs, 11 RBI and a 1.021 OPS in 13 games since returning from a strained oblique. This is also probably a good time to mention that Bader is in … Continued

Fanatics Betting and Gaming finally on its way to New York

Robert Linnehan

Two years ago Fanatics Betting and Gaming was denied a New York online sports betting license. Rather than wait for additional operators to be granted access to the state, the sportsbook operator took action into its own hands. Over the weekend, Fanatics agreed to acquire the U.S. assets of Australian-based PointsBet for $150 million, and … Continued

Yankees just exposed flaws in Rays’ machine

Josh Benjamin

The Yankees are fourth in the AL East and 7.5 games behind the first-place Rays on May 16. And yet, it’s hard to not be cautiously optimistic about the Bronx Bombers, perhaps even fervently. A series loss at Tropicana Field and series split at Yankee Stadium later, we can now say the quiet part out … Continued

UConn is somehow a Big 12 expansion candidate

James Kratch

There is going to be another conference expansion upheaval over the next few weeks. We just don’t know what the magnitude will be. At the least, the Pac-12 figures to add San Diego State as long as it can get a new television deal. It could bring in SMU as well. But we could also … Continued

Leon Rose’s continued hiding act disrespects Knicks fans

James Kratch

The Knicks’ season ended Friday night in Miami. Then came this wildly pathetic and sadly predictable move on Saturday. Knicks planning to not invite media to their exit interviews again. No postseason interviews with Thibodeau, players or Leon. — Stefan Bondy (@SbondyNBA) May 13, 2023 Bondy’s tweet spurred the responses you would expect. Some Knicks … Continued

Mets have a Gary Sanchez decision to make this week

Matt Musico

With a struggling offense at the big-league level, the Mets recently signed catcher/DH Gary Sanchez to a minor-league deal. The former Yankee slugger reported to Triple-A and has suited up for five games with the Syracuse Mets thus far. It feels like he just landed in the organization, which is true. However, general manager Billy … Continued

Yankees-Rays takeaways: Bombers strikes back with series split

Josh Benjamin

Baseball-wise, nothing changed in four games between the Yankees and Rays at Yankee Stadium in a long weekend series. Both teams each won two games and the standings remain the same. The Yankees are astonishingly last in the AL East, eight games behind first-place Tampa Bay. But unlike last weekend’s trip to Tropicana Field, there’s … Continued

When can we expect Carlos Rodon to make his Yankees debut?

Matt Musico

Everyone was pumped when the Yankees landed Carlos Rodon on a six-year, $162 million contract. The excitement to watch him don the pinstripes at Yankee Stadium only increased upon hearing him at his introductory press conference. And then, the injury bug hit. After just two innings in spring training, he was sidelined with a left … Continued

NFL schedule makers clearly don’t trust Giants

James Kratch

Giants fans do not want to hear this — and understandably so — but the team has regression written all over it this fall. The latest sign? How the NFL drew up its 2023 season schedule. The Giants have five primetime dates on their slate. Four of them will be played in the first six … Continued

Probable pitchers as Mets limp to DC to face Nationals

Matt Musico

Believe it or not, the Mets actually won a game in Cincinnati! Unfortunately, that was all they were able to do. After scoring six runs in the series opener, the offense went silent for the final two games, scoring twice in the victory and nothing in the finale. Now, New York heads to DC for … Continued

Probable pitchers as Yankees, Rays prepare for Round 2

Matt Musico

The Yankees returned to the Bronx after a hard-fought series loss to the Rays with an opportunity. Before welcoming Tampa Bay to Yankee Stadium the upcoming weekend, they could get themselves back on track against the Oakland Athletics. That’s exactly what they did by sweeping their three-game set. Now they’re ready for Round 2 vs. … Continued
