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
First things first: You have to tip your cap to Odell Beckham Jr. and his representation. He did not get a deal from the Ravens designed solely for the NFL’s scoop merchants to breathlessly tweet out phony-baloney numbers. Fifteen million guaranteed is nothing to scoff at. It’s about $8-10 million more in hard cash than … Continued
Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge continued his domination of the rival Orioles with a long home run to center field on Sunday. Statcast measured the solo shot at 416 feet and 105.6 mph exit velocity. Baltimore Bashin' 👨⚖️#ALLRISE pic.twitter.com/Joyk7uxOQJ — New York Yankees (@Yankees) April 9, 2023 In the eighth inning, Judge added a second … Continued
Who needs the designated hitter when you have pitchers who can rake? At least for one swing, former Mets pitcher Robert Gsellman looked like a position player using the lumber in Japan. After spending his first six years in the big leagues with New York, Gsellman appeared with the Chicago Cubs briefly in 2022. He … Continued

It’s tough to hate the state of the Brooklyn Nets. You might not love where the franchise is at, but it’s tough to hate this position after nearly four years of melodrama. Forget about the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era, ignore the ongoing Ben Simmons saga for a moment, and appreciate the fact that … Continued
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons signed a four-year extension worth $23.5 million annually, which could up the asking prices of Dexter Lawrence and Quinnen Williams.
Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga is gearing up for the second MLB start on Saturday afternoon against the Miami Marlins. I’d say he got all the butterflies and nerves out of the way last Sunday at loanDepot Park, but maybe not. After all, this will be his first start at home in front of the … Continued
Starting pitcher Jacob deGrom no longer plays for the Mets. It was a gut punch when that initial news hit the interwebs, but so much has happened since then that the sting has lessened dramatically. It’s still there for many Mets fans, though. Especially when he shows up on any screen with his Texas Rangers … Continued

As I sit here writing this, the Mets are about to take the field for their home opener (finally). This is a game that Justin Verlander was scheduled to pitch. But since he landed on the injured list, that honor is now going to Tylor Megill. When can we expect the reigning American League Cy … Continued
With six picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, how can Jets general manager Joe Douglas improve the roster?
About a week ago, the thought of Francisco Alvarez being on the big-league roster in time for the Mets’ home opener would’ve sounded like a pipe dream. But things can change fast when it comes to baseball. Omar Narvaez got hurt during Wednesday’s finale in Milwaukee against the Brewers. While getting re-evaluated in New York … Continued
One of the biggest crimes in baseball is that Angels outfielder Mike Trout has only been to the postseason once since his MLB debut in 2011. And, it’s been nearly a decade since that lone occurrence happened. Let’s face it — we’ve all imagined him on a different team, enabling him to play October baseball … Continued
Life is pretty good right now if you’re the Yankees. Sure, they’re not 6-0 like the Tampa Bay Rays, but winning two straight series with a 4-2 record is a great outcome for the first homestand of the year. New York will now embark on a six-game road trip that’ll begin at Camden Yards against … Continued
The Mets began their 2023 campaign with a seven-game road trip. While baseball in March/April can be tricky from a weather perspective, there was certainty for New York since the club played in two stadiums with retractable roofs. Heading home to Citi Field, where there’s no roof, has already moved the home opener from Thursday … Continued
This has been inevitable since Craig Carton began pulling double-duty. But is it horrible timing for WFAN. Carton’s future at the station is in question, according to The Post. FOX is pushing to turn his FS1 morning show into his full-time — and only — gig. And, to steal from noted Carton nemesis Mike Francesa, … Continued
Thursday was supposed to be Mets Opening Day at Citi Field. It was postponed to Friday because of “rain”, but New York still made headlines. They announced a partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian, which includes an advertisement on the sleeves of player jerseys. And, even better — it’s ready just in time for the Mets’ home opener! … Continued
The question has loomed ever since Craig Carton launched his FS1 morning show: How long could or would the WFAN afternoon drive host pull double duty? We may be about to get the answer. And it could be bad news for the ‘FAN. From The Post: Craig Carton’s future on WFAN afternoons is in question. … Continued
The Jets signed Tim Boyle on Thursday. The move has sparked far more discussion than a transaction involving a journeyman 28-year-old backup quarterback in early April should. The reaction has fallen into one of two camps: 1. Boyle was Aaron Rodgers’ backup with the Packers, so this must be a sign the deal is close! … Continued
Baseball in 2023 is a much different game than ever before. The new rules have been completely revolutionizing — and, depending on who you talk to, ruining — the game. MLB has instituted a bunch of changes this season, but none have gotten more attention than the pitch clock. There’s no doubt that its presence … Continued
He’s here (again) and he’s perfect (still). In the hours after the Mets got swept out of American Family Field by the Brewers, reports surfaced of Francisco Alvarez heading from Syracuse to New York. Why, you ask? Omar Narvaez left Wednesday’s finale with a calf injury and the club was uncertain of the severity. There … Continued
The Yankees took advantage of the Phillies’ slow start, taking two of three in the teams’ only series this season. For the defending National League champions, 1-5 Philadelphia sure doesn’t look the part. Injuries have hit their pitching staff hard and their lineup harder, plus the usual World Series hangover. Not even adding Trea Turner … Continued
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s team gambled and lost on Kyrie Irving and is now fighting for a play-in berth. And how did the “Shark Tank” star keep spirits up with two must-win games remaining? He blamed Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson for his son, star point guard Jalen Brunson, not re-signing in Dallas. “Where … Continued
If you live in the tri-state area or in the general vicinity of Citi Field, it’s a beautiful day for baseball on Thursday. It’s a little cloudy, but the sun is out, and the temperature is in the 60s and expected to reach the 70s. Considering how cold April baseball can be in the northeast, … Continued
Mike Francesa has seen enough of Aaron Hicks. The WFAN legend said the embattled Yankees outfielder “has become a nightmare” for the Bombers. And a good amount of the blame belongs with general manager Brian Cashman. “He should have been gone long ago,” Francesa said on his latest BetRivers podcast. “That’s a Cashman project, a … Continued
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has watched his 2023 campaign get off to a terrific start. However, his demeanor while pitching those gems is just as good — if not better. Cole has begun his regular season with two starts at home in the Bronx. His Opening Day start included a franchise-record 11 strikeouts, and he … Continued
Steve Cohen is playing chess. Hal Steinbrenner is playing checkers. From MLB.com: The New York Mets and NewYork-Presbyterian, one of the nation’s leading healthcare systems, today announced a new long-term partnership to promote health and wellness, both at the ballpark and in the communities they serve. … As a symbol of the integrated partnership, a … Continued
Well, that escalated quickly (and painfully). After taking three of four in Miami, many were looking forward to a Mets-Brewers series in Milwaukee before New York returned to Flushing. After watching the Mets mostly get their butts whooped for three games, we’re just happy it’s over and they can start to move on. Here are … Continued
The Giants have 10 draft picks and various needs. Who should general manager Joe Schoen select later this month?
Two series in, two series wins. The Yankees continued a strong start to the season with their second consecutive series win, this time over the Phillies. New York took advantage of the defending National League champions’ slow start and looked well-paced in two of three wins. The bats are slowly waking up as the lineup … Continued
There are certain players who will always hold a special place in the hearts of Mets fans. Former pitcher Bartolo Colon is one of those guys. He’s also been angling to pitch for New York again for years. The soon-to-be 50-year-old will be back in Flushing this season, but not to suit up in a … Continued
The Mets’ season-opening road trip was the definition of up-and-down. They took three of four from the Miami Marlins before getting swept out of Milwaukee by the Brewers. Instead of getting ready for their home opener on Thursday, the weather is pushing it to Friday. Could top prospect Francisco Alvarez be joining for all the … Continued

The Mets entered their series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers looking for something on offense. Anything, really. That’ll happen when get shut out on consecutive days by a combined score of 19-0. First baseman Pete Alonso is doing his part on Wednesday, and it’s probably because he shaved off his mustache. New York jumped out … Continued
As the Jets have worked through the offseason, there’s been a cloud of uncertainty hanging over them. Even though quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to play for New York in 2023, it hasn’t happened yet. However, one thing is certain: whatever happens, Zach Wilson is the backup. We knew this would be the case all along. … Continued
We are very skeptical Saquon Barkley will grace the Giants’ facility at any point before the start of training camp — if even then. But he hanging out with his quarterback and teammates currently. And that is worth noting, given he and the Giants are in the early days of a contract standoff that could … Continued
We’re about one week into the new MLB regular season, and Mets fans have been mostly waiting to hear when Brett Baty will get called back up to the big leagues. But over the past 24 hours or so, it’s turned to hoping the next Brett Baty injury update isn’t a bad one. Mets fans … Continued
If I had to assume, I would’ve guessed that the Triple-A Syracuse Mets are a more popular draw to the ballpark than the Oakland Athletics. Seeing that it’s true isn’t surprising, but it’s still sad. For the A’s, at least. JJ Cooper of Baseball America made an observation that of the 13 Triple-A games played … Continued
