I don’t enjoy sharing bad news, especially on Opening Day. But sometimes, the news cycle requires it. That’s the case with Mets reliever, Bryce Montes de Oca. The 26-year-old initially had his spring training cut short two weeks ago with a stress reaction in his elbow. Then, it was reported that he’d undergo arthroscopic surgery … Continued
Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo, and the Yankees are getting ready for Opening Day in the Bronx against the San Francisco Giants. None of them care about what Andrew Benintendi has to say about signing with the Chicago White Sox instead of New York this past offseason. That doesn’t mean we can’t point and laugh at … Continued
Anthony Volpe will wear No. 11 when he takes the field for the Yankees on Opening Day. But only after running it by the last man to wear it. Before Anthony Volpe agreed to wear #11 with the Yankees, he called Brett Gardner, who last wore 11, and asked for Gardner's blessing. According to Joe … Continued
We’ve finally made it, folks. MLB Opening Day 2023 is officially here and Mets baseball games (that count) are back! New York won’t say hello to the fans in Flushing until April 6th. But, things get kicked off Thursday afternoon in Miami against the Marlins. Here’s what the probable pitching matchups look like for the … Continued
Anthony Volpe may feel like the spiritual successor to Derek Jeter, but there is a long trail of others between the Yankees’ star rookie and their all-time great. Volpe will make his big league debut on Thursday, Opening Day, when he starts at shortstop for the Bombers against the Giants. The New Jersey native is, … Continued
The day we’ve been waiting for is finally here. MLB Opening Day 2023 has arrived, and the Yankees get to kick things off with Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe, and friends in the Bronx against the San Francisco Giants. Here’s what the probable starting pitcher matchups are looking like for New York’s first regular-season series of … Continued
The Yankees have not won a World Series since 2009 and we’ve heard it all since, be it from radio pundits or the wrathful bunch that is #YankeesTwitter. Brian Cashman cares too much about analytics. The Yankees’ championship drought is reaching old Red Sox levels. Players X, Y, and Z need to be re-signed, released, … Continued
The New York Mets are no longer a punchline and have last year’s 101-win season to prove it. Anyone who’s been paying attention knows that the boys from Flushing aren’t simply running it back this year. A repeat performance just won’t do. That’s because the Mets’ annual late-season struggles came at the expense of the … Continued
And on Opening Day Eve, Anthony Volpe said, “Farewell, No. 77. Greetings, No. 11!” Alright, so that’s probably not how it went down at all, but even so. To say the Yankees’ star rookie didn’t turn a few heads when he switched his uniform number would be the understatement of the offseason. Instead, a small … Continued
Rejoice, Mets fans — it’s finally here. After a long offseason that included lots of spending from owner Steve Cohen, we finally get to see the Amazins and their record-breaking payroll hit the field in Miami at loanDepot park. What will 2023 bring for the Mets? We’ll find out in a few months as the … Continued
Take that big sigh of relief you’ve been holding onto all winter, folks. Yankees Opening Day is officially here. And instead of having to watch Aaron Judge take the field at Yankee Stadium as a member of the San Francisco Giants, he’ll be (once again) doing it in pinstripes. Thursday begins the six-month marathon towards … Continued
The Mets held a workout at loanDepot park on Wednesday to prepare for Thursday afternoon’s Opening Day tilt against the Miami Marlins. Unfortunately, not everyone is preparing to play. Edwin Diaz is just starting rehab after his knee surgery, and Francisco Lindor still misses him dearly. Just in case the relief pitcher is unsure, all … Continued

Everyone knows the Toronto Blue Jays playbook by now. They develop young and exciting hitters to fill the top of their lineup. Trades and free agency usually take care of the rest. More recently, the Blue Jays’ success in developing prospects has upped their rivalry with the Yankees. Toronto was even the World Series favorite … Continued
The Mets and Yankees will each get 2023 started on Thursday. We obviously don’t know how things will eventually end, but expectations are high pretty much everywhere you look. Before the first pitch is thrown in the Bronx and Miami, we thought it was a good idea to collect a bunch of power rankings to … Continued
Whenever the NFL finally rids itself of Daniel Snyder, the disgraced Commanders owner is going to slink off with a massive financial windfall. There are reportedly a pair of $6 million bids on the table to buy the team — one from a group led by Devils and 76ers owner Josh Harris, one from Canadian … Continued
The Yankees’ latest Anthony Volpe move speaks volumes. The rookie shortstop will wear No. 11, according to YES Network’s Jack Curry. Volpe is the first player to wear the number since Brett Gardner. So that door is finally closed for good; the beloved veteran outfielder’s career in pinstripes is over. But more importantly, this is … Continued
Former Mets infielder — and 2015 postseason hero — Daniel Murphy is headed back to New York to play baseball. No, not for the Amazins, but for the Long Island Ducks. Yes, seriously. The 37-year-old was at Citi Field last August for Old Timers’ Day. Apparently, that stirred up something inside of him to play … Continued
The Colorado Rockies are almost a novelty act that turns out a good baseball team once in a blue moon. Denver’s high altitude means Coors Field practically makes for a season-long home run derby and fans turn out in droves to watch the show. Believe it or not, the Rockies have never ranked lower than … Continued
The NFL owners’ meetings have been going on this week in Arizona, and New York football has made some waves during this time.

As I sit here writing this, MLB’s Opening Day festivities are just one (!) sleep away. The Mets will kick things off in Miami against the Marlins. Once the first pitch is thrown, New York will officially own the highest Opening Day payroll in MLB history. That’s good for Mets players, an organization trying to … Continued
The Giants’ relationship with Saquon Barkley is officially awkward. And it could soon become ugly. General manager Joe Schoen has pulled a previous contract offer after hitting Barkley with the franchise tag. Co-owner John Mara has expressed his admiration for the star running back, but says the team can only pay him so much. And … Continued
The Minnesota Twins are baseball’s favorite coin flip. They’re either in the thick of the playoff race and get to the postseason once in a while, or they’re not. Plain and simple. The 2023 season is no different. Minnesota is banged up with injuries early, but still has the talent to make a playoff run. … Continued

With Opening Day being two sleeps away for everyone around MLB, one specific thing is flooding the interwebs. That’s right — preseason predictions for the playoffs and eventual World Series champion.

As the Yankees prepare to open up the 2023 MLB regular season in the Bronx on Thursday, we have to wonder what kind of encore Aaron Judge has in store for us. After all, how do you follow up on a year in which you hit 62 home runs? We’ve already talked about how Judge … Continued
Jalen Brunson wasn’t available for the Knicks game against the Houston Rockets on Monday night at Madison Square Garden. That was OK because Immanuel Quickley admirably picked up the slack during New York’s 137-115 victory. The 23-year-old point guard went off for 40 points, which is a new career-high mark. It wasn’t just the final … Continued
The message was polite, but firm: Saquon Barkley overplayed his hand and will play in 2023 on the Giants’ terms. Co-owner John Mara and general manager Joe Schoen more or less said that Monday at the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix. Barkley turned down a midseason offer, got hit with the franchise tag and the … Continued
Yankees fans without cable will definitely maybe be able to watch the Bombers on Opening Day.

Don’t get your hopes up about a potential Giants-Odell Beckham Jr. reunion.
Rejoice, Mets fans — the Darin Ruf experiment is over. Despite tearing up opposing pitchers on the backfields in PSL, New York decided to designate him for assignment on Monday to make room for outfielder Tim Locastro. This also potentially clears a path for manager Buck Showalter to get Luis Guillorme involved on a regular … Continued

The Yankees have officially brought Anthony Volpe into the fold and now, as Jim Carrey’s Riddler said in “Batman Forever,” the real game begins. The pressure is already on for the young shortstop and he hasn’t even debuted yet. Being a major league player is already a phenomenal experience but there’s something special about being a star … Continued
The Jets have made some interesting moves so far this offseason. Remaking the wide receiver room also may not be done if the Odell Beckham Jr. rumors continue to gain steam.

Darin Ruf is finally getting designated for assignment. That means outfielder Tim Locastro will take the final spot on New … Continued
The kid did it, folks. Top Yankees prospect Anthony Volpe had a slim chance of making the big-league roster for Opening Day. But, he still came into camp with a chance to prove himself. He did that, and the Yankees have rewarded the 21-year-old with keys to the starting shortstop job. Volpe beat out Isiah … Continued
