James Kratch

The most important Yankee — at least according to ESPN — has yet to throw a bullpen this spring. The Bombers’ season “hinges” on left-hander Carlos Rodon, according to the Worldwide Leader.

Spring training games technically don’t count. But that doesn’t mean players don’t get frustrated when things aren’t going their way. Just ask Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach about that.

ESNY’s MLB 2023 Preview: Please, someone save the Reds

Josh Benjamin

The Cincinnati Reds are too much of a laughingstock despite being one of MLB’s most storied franchises. It’s easy to forget the team dates back to the 19th century despite winning just five World Series titles. It sure seems it’s been that long since Cincinnati baseball was truly great. The last World Series appearance (and … Continued

Don’t get your hopes up about MLB making changes to new rules

Matt Musico

Baseball has looked much different during spring training. That’s due to a bunch of new rule changes that have gone into effect, including a limit on shifts and a pitch clock.

NEC will likely see expansion after shock St. Francis decision

James Kratch

St. Francis exited the college sports world Monday in shocking fashion. Which means the Northeast Conference will get the conference realignment wheels cranking again. The NEC will now be an eight-team league after the Brooklyn school shutters its athletics department at the end of the academic year. That means it almost assuredly has to add … Continued

WATCH: Mets break in new scoreboard by playing Mario Kart

Matt Musico

The Mets are scheduled to host the Miami Marlins on April 6th for their home opener. As Justin Verlander presumably takes the mound for New York, Citi Field will look different compared to 2022.

Mets dodge huge bullet with Brandon Nimmo injury news

Matt Musico

Whenever a Mets player goes down with an injury, Mets fans are internally programmed to assume the worst. It’s a reaction that’s been honed over the years. Did someone sneeze the wrong way? Get ready for that to somehow turn into season-ending surgery. It wasn’t like that very often in 2022, though. Outside of Jacob … Continued

ESNY’s MLB 2023 Preview: What is Guardians’ secret formula?

Josh Benjamin

It’s easy to miss just how good a player development system the Cleveland Guardians have. What’s more astounding is the team breaks several rules along the way. They stack their lineup with contact hitters who don’t strike out instead of power bats. They’ve been developing strong homegrown pitchers for over two decades. In another example, … Continued
