Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson were the biggest and most immediate pieces to join the Yankees in their famed swap with the Minnesota Twins in 2022. While IKF had an OK season as New York’s starting shortstop, it still left a lot to be desired. He wasn’t expected to be the second coming of Derek … Continued
There’s nothing in this world Mets first baseman Pete Alonso likes more than hitting home runs. It’s what he was put on this Earth to do. Even though he’s already hit more than 160 dingers since debuting in 2019, I’m sure each of them is memorable for different reasons. But, only a select few come … Continued
Catcher Francisco Alvarez has been a bright spot in the Mets’ minor-league system since he signed in 2018. And while it was touch-and-go for a little bit, the future is officially now for him in the big leagues. Upon getting called up prior to the Mets’ home opener, it was hard for him to get … Continued
After a surprising run to the Eastern Conference Semifinals this year, the Knicks are at a fork in the road this offseason. What will they do? And could it involve newly-crowned NBA MVP, Joel Embiid? Once New York and the Philadelphia 76ers are both eliminated from the playoffs, rumors of the Knicks wanting to make … Continued
And just like that, the Gary Sanchez era with the Mets is (probably) over. New York activated Tomas Nido from the injured list prior to Thursday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs. That obviously meant someone currently on the roster had to get the axe. And since Francisco Alvarez isn’t going anywhere, Sanchez was designated … Continued
The Jets are coming off a disappointing 2022 campaign, but the vibes are immaculate right now. New York can point to its acquisition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the main reason why. But if he plans on taking Gang Green to the promised land, they’ll have to get through Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City … Continued
John Sterling has been away from the Yankees’ radio microphone for some time now. And he will be out a bit longer. From The Post’s Andrew Marchand: John Sterling will miss this weekend’s home series against San Diego and will skip the Yankees’ West Coast trip next week because he is under the weather. Sterling, … Continued
This is a Yankees-Orioles series most fans would prefer to forget. Baltimore flashed its young talent and won the series, taking Thursday’s finale in a dominant fashion. It was a bad showing for the Yankees, who recently came off a five-game winning streak. They remain third in the AL East and seven games behind the … Continued
There are only two ways to feel about Mets first baseman Pete Alonso. You either love him or you hate him. If you’re a Mets fan, chances are you love him for all the homers he hits, along with the things he says and does when not in the batter’s box. But if you’re a … Continued
Before getting a breather on Monday and hosting the Phillies at Citi Field on Tuesday, the Mets must first finish their current road trip.

Here’s what the probable pitching matchups look like ahead of this head-to-head matchup. Friday at 7:05 p.m. ET: Randy Vasquez vs. Joe Musgrove Randy Vasquez is getting the call to make his MLB debut with … Continued
The old AL East narrative used to be simple. The Orioles would throw out a contender once every few years, but otherwise be the division’s punching bag. The Yankees have taken full advantage of this and are 63-30 against Baltimore under manager Aaron Boone. This three-game series was a warning that a new contender might … Continued

The Mets have started their current road trip with an 0-2 record. That’s not what the doctor ordered after an exciting homestand last week. However, rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez continues to solidify his position as the starter, even once Omar Narvaez and Tomas Nido are ready to return. The 21-year-old found a way to cut … Continued
While most of the world acts as if Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen invented football, one analyst is courageously going against the grain. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell is ranking each NFL team’s offseason.

The Yankees have stabilized themselves. But Bobby Valentine is not impressed. The former Mets manager thinks the Bombers are not as good as their 30-21 record (and 12 wins in the last 16) suggest. He does not see a World Series contender and he doubts slugger Aaron Judge can single-handedly carry the team yet again … Continued
Despite what some people might want to believe, Brett Gardner no longer plays for the Yankees. In fact, his Yankees playing days — and MLB playing days, in general — are over. Gardner was a beloved Yankee. So it’s understandable as to why it’s hard for some to accept that the fleet-footed outfielder won’t be … Continued
Well before he was officially traded to the Jets, every casual football fan knew who Aaron Rodgers was. Being the starting quarterback and winning a Super Bowl for an iconic team like the Green Bay Packers will do that. But since he’s landed with Gang Green, we’ve gotten more of a look at what makes … Continued

The Mets finally showed some life on their most recent homestand, finishing it with five straight wins. Most of those victories came in dramatic fashion, too. But now that they’ve hit the road, it feels like we’re back to the same old story. Does that mean infielder Ronny Mauricio will be the next Baby Met … Continued
It’s easy to forget that on top of being a great glove in center field for the Yankees, Harrison Bader is a legit New Yorker. That means along with being a good ballplayer, the man knows his food. Specifically, he knows his delis. Case in point is his appearance on the YES app’s new show … Continued
Wednesday is a special one for former Mets hurler, Bartolo Colon. It’s not just his birthday — it’s the right-hander’s 50th birthday. And if it were up to him, he’d be spending it in Chicago with the Mets while they’re playing the Cubs. That’s just a dream nowadays for the longtime hurler. He’s been back … Continued
The Rays have gotten off to one of the most dominant starts we’ve ever seen from an MLB team.

The Yankees and Baltimore Orioles are squaring off this week for the second time this season. But it’s the first time they’re doing so in the Bronx. New York took two of three at Camden Yards during an early April series. It looked like the O’s were about to take Game 1 at Yankee Stadium … Continued
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole clearly wasn’t himself in Tuesday’s 6-5 walkoff win over the Baltimore Orioles. The big righty pitched five-plus innings and allowed five runs on six hits. Uncharacteristically, he had three walks to just two strikeouts. The fastball command was never there and Cole generated just seven whiffs, per Statcast. This was, in … Continued
Projecting who will make the Giants’ 53-man roster for their Week 1 game against the Cowboys in September.
Which players currently on the Jets’ roster could be edged out by new acquisitions this summer?
Aaron Judge tied it in the ninth inning, and then rookie Anthony Volpe won it in the tenth. With runners on the corners and one out, New York’s young shortstop hit Baltimore righty Bryan Baker’s fastball deep enough to center field. Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored from third and sealed a 6-5 win. .@Volpe_Anthony called game 🙌 … Continued

There has been plenty of discussion about the impact Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez, and Mark Vientos have had at the big-league level. So much so, in fact, that they’ve been dubbed the “Baby Mets”.

The NBA playoffs aren’t even over and the rumors are already flying. The latest, when is reigning MVP and star 76ers center Joel Embiid getting traded to the Knicks?

The NFL’s Global Markets Program allows teams to bid for marketing rights in specific countries. You may have heard of this initiative last year when the Eagles were awarded the ability to spread their gospel in Ghana. Anyway, the program announced its expansion Tuesday. And for whatever it’s worth, the Giants remain on the sidelines. … Continued
Organized Team Activities (also known as OTAs) have kicked off this week around the league.

The NFL approved allowing Amazon to flex Thursday Night Football games on Monday.

David Hasselhoff is huge in Germany. And Michael Kay is apparently huge in various corners of our majestic country.

They currently sit … Continued
We know Steve Cohen will spend money like George Steinbrenner. We do not know yet if he will fire people like The Boss. And, with Gary Sanchez’s recent promotion, we must wonder if the current Mets owner will share another trait with the late former Yankees owner: Trolling the crosstown rival. Steinbrenner pulled Joe Torre, … Continued
