The Yankees began their season with the best Opening Day possible: shutting out the Giants 5-0, plus an Aaron Judge home run. Thursday’s opener also marked the start of a new era in baseball. Pace of play was on full display from pitch clock to no shifting. There were actual plays and not just home runs, … Continued
Eric Adams is already a polarizing figure just from being the mayor of New York City. It’s a thankless job where the voters who put him in office probably curse his name on the daily. Well, Hizzoner just put himself in the crosshairs of every New Yorker and might have lost a handful of voters. … Continued
The Mets are preparing to face off against the Miami Marlins during Thursday’s Opening Day festivities. Justin Verlander won’t be partaking in the pomp and circumstance, but first baseman Pete Alonso will be.

Torres’ homer gave the Yankees a … Continued
One of the biggest reasons why many thought Justin Verlander would be an upgrade over Jacob deGrom for the Mets was his durability. Sure, he missed virtually all of 2020 and 2021 because of Tommy John surgery. But still, he’s thrown at least 170 innings in a season 14 times since 2006. The dude is … Continued

Opening Day is always exciting. It’s a little extra exciting for Yankees fans this year, though. After all, nobody knew if Aaron Judge would be back with the club after the 2022 season concluded. And for a few moments in December, it looked like he was headed to the San Francisco Giants. But that was … Continued
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
