When free agency officially kicked off last winter, the Mets’ starting rotation was quite empty. Max Scherzer was the only veteran guaranteed to be back in 2023. Carlos Carrasco could’ve become a free agent, but New York decided to exercise his $14 million team option instead. It made sense from a logistical standpoint. We know … Continued
The Knicks and Cavaliers are gearing up for their first-round playoff series kicking off this weekend. Cleveland star Donovan Mitchell took to Instagram to hype himself up and Knicks wing Josh Hart had some, er, unique comments. Josh Hart is ready to face Spida in round one 😂 pic.twitter.com/fmMBeZgKL3 — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) April 14, … Continued
Shortstop Francisco Lindor smacked a grand slam Friday night to give the Mets an early 6-0 lead over the A’s.
Anthony Volpe’s Yankees debut was highly anticipated. But once that happened, the world moved onto the next milestone for the star rookie shortstop: His first big-league home run … and his first John Sterling home run call. Volpe went yard Friday night against the Twins at Yankee Stadium. And Sterling, the longtime radio voice of the … Continued
After a 7-10 season that included six straight losses to end the year, the goal of this offseason was clear for the Jets. Make Zach Wilson the second-string quarterback and bring in a veteran that can get them over the hump. Team owner Woody Johnson said earlier this offseason that the Jets’ roster is “loaded” … Continued
Of course we are getting Knicks and Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Storylines aside, the teams are remarkably similar. Both are led by high-volume scoring point guards who showed up to their new teams ready to lead. The teams are also both extremely well-coached by Tom Thibodeau and J.B. Bickerstaff. And with … Continued
The Giants-Saquon Barkley contract drama is still alive and well, folks. It only stopped momentarily after New York agreed to an extension with quarterback Daniel Jones and slapped the $10.09 million franchise tag on the former Penn State Nittany Lion. There’s a chance things continue to get even juicier, too. Big Blue is beginning off-season … Continued
The 2023 MLB regular season is only two weeks old. But still, for certain players, there’s a big focus on next year. Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani falls into that bucket. That’s what happens when you’re both one of baseball’s best pitchers and among the game’s most feared power hitters. Ohtani is set … Continued
Bryan Reynolds wants to stay in Pittsburgh. And the star center fielder and the Pirates have agreed on money. And yet he still remains without a long-term extension. So those Yankees trade hopes remain alive. From The Post’s Jon Heyman: Sources say the Pirates are showing a willingness to move money around in the $100M, … Continued
How much of the Yankees game against the Twins did you watch on Thursday night? If you didn’t make it much further than the first inning, nobody would blame you. After two great starts, Jhony Brito imploded amid a nine-run first for Minnesota. It was 11-1 by the ninth, which paved the way for utility … Continued
Mike Lombardi sees a storm on the horizon for the Giants. The former NFL general manager has serious concerns about Big Blue’s culture given how the offseason has unfolded. The combination of quarterback Daniel Jones’ payday and ongoing contract situations with running back Saquon Barkley and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence have created a dangerous dynamic, … Continued
The Mets have had the definition of an up-and-down start to their 2023 campaign. That’s what happens when you post a 7-6 record through 13 games. And while watching New York heading west for a 10-game road trip is a minor buzzkill this early in the season, it could help them get on a roll. … Continued
The NFL is one big step closer to ridding itself of Daniel Snyder forever. From Sportico: Josh Harris has reached an agreement in principle to acquire the Washington Commanders for $6 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. Harris owns the Devils and 76ers (and Crystal Palace of the Premier League). The $6 billion … Continued
Things are going pretty well for the Yankees right now. They enter Thursday’s action with an 8-4 record and a home matchup against the Minnesota Twins is on deck. While New York’s focus is on the present, it’s easy to also get excited about the future. You know, like with prospect Spencer Jones. The 6’6″ … Continued
How should general manager Joe Schoen address the contract situations of Saquon Barkley, Dexter Lawrence, and others?
While his pro football career hasn’t started the way he hoped, Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is essentially set for life thanks to his athletic ability. But if things don’t work out on the gridiron? The man already has a backup plan in place. Wilson was selected second overall by Gang Green in the 2021 NFL … Continued
One of my favorite things to do early in every MLB season is to overreact to hot starts by seeing what numbers players are on pace to finish with. Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and his polar power are the subject of today’s conversation. During Wednesday’s 5-2 win over the San Diego Padres, Pete slugged … Continued
The situation is always ripe for drama whenever the Yankees play the Guardians in the regular season or playoffs. The first regular season matchup was no different as the Yankees took two of three games. The Yankees performed well despite playing from behind all series. Monday’s loss just happened to be a close game when … Continued
Can the Knicks knock off the Cavaliers? The ESPN hoops braintrust believes it is possible. Seventeen of the Worldwide Leader’s NBA experts were paneled for their first-round playoff picks. Only four brave souls — Jerry Bembry, Nick Friedell, Jorge Sedano and Ramona Shelburne — have the Knicks winning. But the other 13 voters have them … Continued
A Yankees-Guardians series never disappoints, be it regular season or playoffs. For all we know, this three-game series in April is yet another postseason preview. In this case, New York won two of three to continue a great start to 2023. Cleveland took a late lead in the series opener and held off a Yankees … Continued
It is debatable whether Jeff Bezos was ever in the running to buy the Commanders from the disgraced Daniel Snyder. But the Amazon billionaire is now unquestionably out of the mix, according to multiple reports. Bezos’ exit from a competition he may or may not have ever been engaged in appears to clear the road … Continued
The Mets’ 2023 season is only 13 games old. It’s had some ups and downs already, evidenced by a 7-6 record before starting a West Coast road trip on Friday. New York still has some questions to answer regarding the roster. One that should be answered by now, though, is why isn’t Brett Baty playing … Continued
Outside of getting their butts whooped in Milwaukee, the Mets’ pitching staff has performed well to start the 2023 season. A big reason for that is Tylor Megill shining in the opportunity Justin Verlander gave him by hitting the injured list. How close is the reigning American League Cy Young winner from making his Mets … Continued
The Yankees come back home after a successful first road trip of the 2023 season. New York hasn’t yet swept an opponent in any of their first four head-to-head matchups. However, they also haven’t lost a series yet. Not everyone can be the Tampa Bay Rays right now, but the Bombers are among the next-best … Continued
The Mets arrived at Citi Field on getaway day with one of two options: finish their first 2023 homestand off on a solid note, or head west with a sour taste in their mouth. Thankfully for New York — and everyone in attendance — the Amazins choose Door Number 1. The squad’s 5-2 win over … Continued
Yankees manager Aaron Boone had more to say about the umpires’ handling of a replay review on Wednesday than he did his team’s 4-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor’s first-inning blooper to center appeared to be caught by Aaron Hicks, who then doubled Jose Ramirez off second base before a … Continued
The right call was made in the end, and it did not cost the Yankees a getaway game win over the Guardians. But still … what the eff? Here’s a rundown of the controversial overturned double play that turned into two Cleveland runs in the first inning, as well as explanations and reactions from all involved following … Continued
Saquon Barkley will stay at home when the Giants open their offseason program next week, according to Newsday. Which should surprise absolutely no one. The only leverage Barkley has is his presence. He is not on the Giants’ roster until he signs his franchise tag tender. And he is under no obligation — mandated or … Continued
Aaron Hicks had a good night. The embattled outfielder started, notched two hits, scored two runs and the Yankees steamrolled the Guardians, 11-2, on Tuesday in Cleveland. And then the world was reminded why the Bombers need to do the merciful thing and move Hicks out off town as soon as possible. From NJ.com after … Continued
The Giants should be focusing on their glaring void at cornerback when they’re on the clock in the first round.
Rick Wolff, who hosted the Sunday morning “Sports Edge” program on WFAN, died Monday. He was 71. His family said he passed away after “a brief battle with brain cancer.” Wolff — the son of legendary broadcaster Bob Wolff — hosted his youth sports-focused show for over 20 years. Most WFAN listeners will remember the … Continued

The Yankees will have to wait on free agent signee Carlos Rodon just a bit longer. Manager Aaron Boone met with reporters on Tuesday and said the big lefty is now dealing with a sore back while rehabbing a left forearm strain. The good news is it’s minor and should only delay his return by … Continued

Aaron Hicks has to go. And he will go. That is not in doubt. His existence with the Yankees has become irreversibly toxic. A separation is inevitable. But when? That is the pressing — and somewhat frightening — question. An optimistic review of the pertinent facts could lead one to surmise Hicks has entered his … Continued
The wide receiver-needy Giants passing up on the position in both the first and second rounds of the 2023 NFL draft? That is what ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. believes could happen. He has Big Blue shoring up its secondary and interior offensive line in his newest two-round mock draft. Kiper has the Giants nabbing Michigan … Continued
The Knickerbockers are back in the NBA playoffs. Game 1 against Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers is Saturday in Cleveland. It has been a good season. Twelve games over .500, the 5-seed in the Eastern Conference, a borderline MVP season from Jalen Brunson, potential Sixth Man of the Year Immanuel Quickley, a boatload of future … Continued
Domingo German is long past the point of being worth anything to the Yankees. And yet, odds are he’ll spend most if not all of the season in pinstripes. German made his second start of the year in Cleveland on Monday and was once again ineffective. He pitched into the fourth inning, undone by five … Continued
There may soon come a time when the Yankees and Orioles are bitter rivals again, but that didn’t happen in the two AL East teams’ first series of 2023. The Yankees entered Camden Yards, put up a strong effort in a Friday loss, and then won the next two games to take the series. The … Continued
The Knicks open the playoffs in six days. The only thing that matters between now and Saturday’s series opener in Cleveland? Julius Randle, of course. Will the All-Star forward be ready for the Cavaliers? It sounds like there is some early optimism. From The Post: The Knicks won’t know until later this week if they will … Continued
The Yankees have to be happy with their first intra-divisional series of the season after taking two of three from the Orioles. The effort was strong even in Friday’s loss. New York’s lineup worked consistently good at-bats. The pitching, especially the bullpen, held tough after an elbow injury shut down Jonathan Loaisiga. Everyone’s role is … Continued
The Yankees are rolling, folks. While they’re not beating opponents in the same way the Tampa Bay Rays are right now, winning three straight series to start the year ain’t too shabby. Aaron Judge is hitting homers and the Bombers are winning. All is right with the world, yes? New York now travels to Cleveland … Continued
While Sunday’s finale didn’t go as planned, the Mets technically got themselves back on track at Citi Field this weekend. After getting swept out of Milwaukee, they took two of three from the Marlins. So, through the first three series of 2023, the Mets have established one thing: they can beat Miami. They’re 5-2 against … Continued
