Instead of usual series takeaways on the Yankees’ unceremonious sweep of the Oakland Athletics, I’d like to instead talk about the rich history between both teams.

MLB teams agree to trades with the best of intentions. Unfortunately, those intentions don’t always work out. That happened with the Yankees and outfielder Joey Gallo.

Justin Verlander gave the Mets what they sorely needed on Wednesday night in Cincinnati: some length from the starting rotation.

They strung together … Continued
A “prominent” NFL agent has something to say about Saquon Barkley turning down reported Giants contract offers.

Starting pitcher Luis Severino has yet to throw a regular-season pitch for the Yankees in 2023. He’s on the rehab trail after suffering a lat strain, though.

The Mets didn’t play a baseball game on Monday. That’s good news because it meant there was no way they could lose. It doesn’t mean New York still didn’t make some headlines, though. There’s one, in particular, involving infielder Ronny Mauricio that perked everyone’s ears up. Both he and Mark Vientos deserve a promotion. However, … Continued
The Heat have out-knicked the Knicks during the Eastern Conference semifinals. Julius Randle was asked about this issue after Miami won Game 4, 109-101, on Monday night to take a 3-to-1 series lead.
