Unfortunately, northeast basketball isn’t what it used to be. Most teams in the New York/New Jersey area are mid-majors or power conference teams who live on the bubble every year. The Big East is a shell of what it was at its peak and mid-major schools in the area rely on the automatic bid for … Continued
It’s hard to pinpoint just what has kept the White Sox from building sustained success, despite an overall good player development model. Think about it. Even when Chicago has been at its worst since catching fire en route to winning the World Series in 2005, they’ve still managed to have exciting young players. For example, … Continued

The Jets will be more than ready for primetime, all thanks to Aaron Rodgers. Gang Green played just one national television game last season.

The Mets and Yankees both threw around some serious money this winter in the free-agent market. Between each squad’s attempts to retool for another World Series run in 2023, they combined to spend north of $1 billion. As it turns out, that’s just a small fraction of what the combined worth is for these franchises. … Continued

UPDATE: Well, it looks like Slay isn’t getting that dose of karma after all. It looks like he and the Eagles have agreed on a deal to keep him in Philadelphia.

Don’t ask Hal Steinbrenner or Brian Cashman for the Wi-Fi password at Yankee Stadium. In fact, don’t even ask them for Wi-Fi period. A report from Sports Illustrated’s Stephanie Apstein names the Yankees, valued by Forbes at $6 billion, as unique penny-pinchers. Along with a few other teams, the Yankees make their players pay for … Continued
The Jets and Aaron Rodgers might be stuck on the tarmac for a while.

With Rodgers habitually absent from the early phases of the offseason … Continued
Between winning 101 games in 2022 and following that up with a historically expensive winter, the Mets are entering 2023 with a target on their collective backs.

It will be Gerrit Cole and Logan Webb on Opening Day in the Bronx, as expected. Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Cole is being lined up to get the ball March 30. The Giants have already said Webb will be their starter for the season opener. This will be Cole’s fourth consecutive Opening Day … Continued
It’s been well established around these here webpages at ESNY that the people still love former Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner. He hasn’t played for New York since 2021. However, it took the Yankees until this spring to give his locker away. The Bombers let Aaron Hicks take over ownership of it, which irked a bunch … Continued
The Yankees have redemption on their minds in 2023. That’s because despite 99 wins and winning the AL East last year, the Yankees sure didn’t look like it towards the end. Playing .500 ball in July and going 10-18 in August. Barely defeating the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS before being swept by the eventual … Continued
Another baseball season on the way, another rebuild year for the Royals. Kansas City’s two miracle runs to the World Series in 2014 and ’15 are almost distant memories now. Two teams that got the perfect amount of hot at an even more perfect time and earned their respective spots in baseball history. Now, it’s … Continued

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn’t officially a member of the Jets yet. However, signs are certainly pointing towards that happening in the near future. We’ve been seeing some context clues in recent days. The Jets have been diligent in clearing cap space, which, we’d assume would be to make room for Rodgers’ $15-plus million salary cap … Continued
If the Jets want Aaron Rodgers, they are going to have to bring in some of his buddies. That is just part of the cost of doing business, along with the ayuhuasca and weekly audiences with Pat McAfee. And it is a relatively acceptable one, all things considered. Some of these courtesy moves would likely … Continued
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge had a season for the ages in 2022. En route to winning American League MVP honors, he nearly took home the triple crown with a .311/.425/.686 line, 62 home runs, 131 RBI, and 133 runs scored. But that doesn’t mean he still can’t find ways to get better, ya know. The … Continued
Hey, did you see what Team USA did to Team Canada on Monday night in the World Baseball Classic? After getting shellacked by Mexico, the boys in the red, white, and blue made sure there were bombs bursting in air in the first inning. USA put up nine runs in that frame, which was capped … Continued
No, Joey Gallo, you have not been forgotten. The Yankees’ former hitless wonder is now with the Twins and having a nice spring — he’s batting .316! But he had a rough day Monday when the Bombers took the bus down to Fort Myers. Because every visiting Yankees fan apparently decided Gallo needed to be … Continued
After a disappointing first year in Queens, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor enjoyed a record-breaking campaign in 2022. If what he’s done so far this spring serves as foreshadowing, 2023 is bound to be another prime-time performance. It’s hard for me to call 4.2 fWAR in 2021 a “down” season for Lindor. However, the start of … Continued
The Jets are “actively working” on a deal with Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard, according to ESPN. So what does that tell you? Hey, maybe the Jets would have been interested in Lazard no matter what. He’s a good supporting cast receiver. Health is a concern — he’s missed 10 games over the last three … Continued
The Chicago Cubs won the World Series in 2016 and the signs of an eventual rebuild arrived soon after. Catalyst Dexter Fowler left in free agency.

The Giants on Monday agreed to terms with linebacker Bobby Okereke. It’s a four-year contract worth $40 million.
The Giants made their first — and maybe only? — external free agent splash Monday night, landing Colts linebacker Bobby Okereke. It is a solid move. The Giants’ inside linebacking corps was a weak spot in 2022, Okereke is a young, ascending player — turns 27 in July, 151 tackles last year, has only missed … Continued

Will Aaron Rodgers green-light a trade to the Jets? Will he try to stick around in Green Bay? Or, could he just ride off into the sunset and retire? These are all good questions that literally nobody has answers to yet. After a Jets contingent went to Southern California to meet with Rodgers last week, … Continued

All spring long, we’ve heard how the Yankees think third baseman Josh Donaldson can bounce back in 2023. Even Donaldson himself thinks so, telling The Post’s Jon Heyman he wouldn’t be playing if he didn’t feel he could return to form. “If I felt like I didn’t have anything left to offer the game, I … Continued
Jacque Vaughn’s Nets have one more game to play away from Barclays Center before wrapping up a five-game road trip. Regardless of how things go on Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, though, it’s been a good trip. Unfortunately for Ben Simmons, he’s only stayed in the loop by watching them play on TV back at … Continued
It’s been just under a week since the Giants re-signed Daniel Jones. And now that all of the contractual details have emerged, we have a conclusion: They like Jones, they are not completely convinced about him and general manager Joe Schoen won the negotiations decisively. On paper, Jones signed a four-year, $160 million deal. In … Continued
There might not be a better MLB team that punches above its weight than the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays have, in the last decade, been to the playoffs five times.

The kids came to play in Port St. Lucie this spring, folks.

Some wild news out of Syracuse today: Brent Axe, who hosted the local ESPN Radio affiliate’s afternoon drive program, has been canned because he was too negative about the Orange. No, really.

It is well-established Anthony Volpe grew up emulating Derek Jeter. But he is not the only all-time great the budding Yankees star is learning from. Volpe’s iPhone is loaded with history, he told The Post’s Steve Serby. He has a catalog full of films and videos of baseball’s greatest hitters, which he studies during the … Continued
To say that Darin Ruf’s tenure with the Mets has been less than stellar is probably the understatement of the century. Flipping the calendar to a new year hasn’t changed that much. General manager Billy Eppler acquired Ruf at last year’s deadline to pair with Daniel Vogelbach as part of a designated hitter platoon. In … Continued
The Jets re-signed starting linebacker Quincy Williams to a new 3-year, $18 million contract on Sunday.
