The Mets and Yankees have each made their fair share of big splashes this offseason, and it’s not even Christmas yet. The best holiday gift of all, though? The fact that neither team is done making roster improvements. Not long ago, we noted that the Amazins and Bombers had control of the top two spots … Continued
The Carlos Correa saga — already pretty bonkers to begin with — has taken yet another turn. The Mets swooped in and signed the All-Star shortstop (soon to move to third base) in the middle of the night after his deal with the Giants fell through. The initial reporting indicated the team had concerns over … Continued
Zach Wilson’s performance against the Jaguars on Thursday could decide the course of his Jets future.
As we’ve discussed several times recently, the Yankees need a left fielder. We’ve discussed multiple external options, namely Max Kepler and Ian Happ. Michael Conforto and his being a poor fit in the Bronx were also mentioned. But in-house, the Yankees have an intriguing left field option in super-utility player Oswaldo Cabrera. An infielder by … Continued
The Jets’ 2022 season has gone much better than many expected back in August. If you told any fan that New York would be 7-7 entering Week 16 with a chance at grabbing a playoff spot, they’d likely be shocked and elated. Things haven’t exactly been too smooth for quarterback Zach Wilson, but he’s in … Continued
The Yankees made their new contract with Aaron Judge official on Wednesday morning and officially named him the next captain of the team. Aaron Judge is the 16th captain in #Yankees history. pic.twitter.com/RWiHfm3jVV — Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) December 21, 2022 The Yankees didn’t spare any of the usual pomp and circumstance. Brian Cashman gave … Continued
The Mets’ Carlos Correa signing in the wee hours of the morning was a stunner. Too stunning, according to loyal WFAN caller Dan in Carteret. “I got a problem with this late-night deal for the Mets here. There’s something very fishy about this, OK,” he told Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti on Wednesday morning. His … Continued
The Mets kept up their incredible spending spree this offseason early on Wednesday morning with an agreement for Carlos Correa to play third base. The Yankees have made their fair share of big splashes over the past couple of weeks, too. However, there are probably a few fans wishing there was a splash to replace … Continued
Assuming Carlos Correa passes his physical — not here to be a downer, Mets fans, but it has to be said — the Amazins will have a projected $384 million payroll in 2022. That means owner Steve Cohen will need to pony up about $111 million in luxury tax payments, according to Cot’s Baseball Contracts. … Continued
This should be a good holiday for Jim Dolan. The Knicks are on fire, the Rangers are playing better, et cetera. Alas. The petty never ends. From The Post: She came to see the Rockettes’ world-famous kick-line — but got kicked out of line instead. Kelly Conlon, 44, was chaperoning her 9-year-old daughter’s Girl Scout … Continued
Like most Mets fans, I woke up in complete shock on Wednesday morning. I joked about Steve Cohen re-engaging Scott Boras about Carlos Correa upon hearing news of his press conference with the San Francisco Giants getting postponed. I wasn’t actually expecting something to happen. But like we’ve said a few times already this offseason, … Continued
The Giants’ Week 15 win on Sunday Night Football significantly boosted their chances of reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was a part of that club. There’s still a chance he could rejoin Big Blue this year, but it recently seemed like OBJ was destined to join the … Continued
Mere hours after the Mets were connected to All-Star closer Liam Hendriks in the trade rumor mill, they’ve agreed to bring Adam Ottavino back to Queens. This was something the Amazins had been hoping to do for nearly a month. Ottavino signed a very affordable one-year, $4 million deal with the Mets last March to … Continued
Matt Carpenter’s career renaissance in the Bronx was unfortunately a short one. Per MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell, the veteran lefty bat has signed with the San Diego Padres. The Padres and Matt Carpenter have agreed to a deal for 2023 with a player option for the 2024 season, per a source. Carpenter will play something of … Continued
The Mets are in the market for another hitter. That doesn’t mean general manager Billy Eppler isn’t able to multitask, though. New York is also looking for opportunities to add to its bullpen. One name that’s recently surfaced in trade rumors is Chicago White Sox closer, Liam Hendriks. Metsmerized’s Mike Mayer reports the Mets as … Continued
The Giants may have wrapped up an NFL playoff berth by the time they open presents on Christmas morning. From NFL.com: The Giants will clinch a playoff berth with a win at the Vikings on Saturday and one of the three below combinations (not including ties): • Commanders loss and Lions loss • Commanders loss … Continued
The Knicks (17-13) are on a seven-game winning streak and are in a good position to make it eight on national television. The Golden State Warriors (15-16) visit Madison Square Garden looking for a season sweep. They beat a shorthanded Knicks team in San Francisco back on Nov. 18 and, despite noticeable struggles this year, … Continued
The Mets have spent close to $500 million in free agency so far this offseason. They’ve spent the majority of this past week introducing (or re-introducing) those players to the media. While that’s all been happening, though, we know they’re still on the hunt for more offense. A player who appears to be front and … Continued
Giants outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux proved in Sunday’s win he was worth the No. 5 overall draft pick.
The Giants accomplished a lot during their Sunday Night Football victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 15. Quarterback Daniel Jones earned his first career win in prime time, and at 8-5-1, Big Blue’s playoff chances are looking good right now. As New York has done virtually all year, the club found a way to win … Continued
Look at the names left on the MLB free agency board, and it’s easy to forget Michael Conforto. The former Mets star went unsigned before the lockout last year and then missed all of 2022 recovering from shoulder surgery. Cut to today, and a small faction of #YankeesTwitter thinks the Bronx Bombers signing him is … Continued
The Jets need to win out. Simple as that. If Gang Green can shake off this current three-game losing skid with three consecutive victories to end the regular season — home against the Jaguars, followed by road games at the Seahawks and Dolphins — they should be able to grab the final AFC wild card … Continued
The Mets are experiencing notable changes off the field as well. From Newsday: Wayne Randazzo will not return to the Mets’ WCBS-AM radio booth in 2023, two industry sources told Newsday. … Randazzo is believed to be in the mix for a television job on Angels games. It is not yet clear whom Audacy, WCBS’ parent … Continued
The Yankees need a left fielder and the Twins’ Max Kepler sounds like the favorite. The rumors rumbled once Andrew Benintendi signed a five-year deal with the White Sox. Once former Yankee Joey Gallo signed with the Twins, they became deafening. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported the calls were coming for Kepler … Continued
The parade of news conferences to introduce (or, re-introduce) players the Mets have signed this offseason continued on Monday. This one was for Japanese ace Kodai Senga, who agreed to a five-year, $75 million deal with New York. You can watch the initial press availability here, but like many others, there wasn’t anything too notable … Continued
The NFC playoff picture is pretty straightforward with three weeks to go in the NFL regular season. The top-5 teams are all but locked in, with limited potential seeding variation. And then there are two wild card spots left for four or five teams, depending on how you want to consider the Packers. What is … Continued
The Knicks and Nets both played on Sunday. Like we’ve seen a lot lately, they each took home yet another W. Brooklyn’s season-long record improved to 19-12 with its sixth straight win. They remain in fourth place when looking at the Eastern Conference standings, but the Nets are just three games out of first. As … Continued
The NFL had owners meetings last week in Dallas. They concluded with Daniel Snyder still owning the Commanders. But in fairness to the league, they had bigger fish to fry. From ESPN: NFL officials have informed the owners of the league’s 32 franchises that teams have spent $800 million on fired coaches and front-office executives … Continued
My, oh my — how quickly things can change in Jets land. WFAN legend Mike Francesa had enough after New York’s Week 15 loss to the Detroit Lions and went off on Twitter about it. Gang Green entered its Week 10 bye fresh off a great victory against the Buffalo Bills. The win put them … Continued
Mets owner Steve Cohen has been in charge for just over two calendar years now. It didn’t take long for him to be viewed as the franchise’s savior. That journey started by awarding $341 million to Francisco Lindor on the eve of 2021 Opening Day. It continued the following offseason with an unforgettable Black Friday … Continued
Scott Boras has negotiated north of a billion dollars in contract value for his clients this winter. But his biggest victory is not Xander Bogaerts’ massive payday. Or Carlos Correa or Carlos Rodon. It is the deal that accounts for about 1% of the total haul. Ex-Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo signed a one-year, $11 million … Continued
The Giants defeated the Commanders on Sunday night and now sit as the six seed in the NFC Playoff picture.
Barring something unforeseen, Zach Wilson is not the guy. And if the Jets are being honest, Mike White likely is not either. Which makes all of this even more painful. The Jets’ playoff push is on life support. Sunday’s devastating 20-17 loss to the Lions — Greg Zuerlein missed a game-tying field goal attempt well … Continued
The Giants’ critical rematch with the Commanders is here. They are 4.5-point road underdogs on Sunday Night Football. Here are the ESNY staff picks: Danny Small, staff writer. Is anyone planning on picking a tie in this game? This Giants-Commanders matchup will have a playoff feel. New York is looking for their first win in … Continued
Zach Wilson is back. Can he regain the starting job and push the Jets one step closer to the playoffs? Gang Green is a 1.5-point underdog at home against the Lions with quarterback Mike White sidelined. It’s up to Wilson to show his time on the bench has been the reset he needed — and … Continued

There’s something special building in New Rochelle this year. For the last 15 seasons, Iona has been the class of the MAAC and that’s no different in 2022-23. After a slow 2-2 start with losses to Hofstra and Santa Clara, the Gaels have ripped off five wins in a row. What’s different in New Rochelle … Continued
The Yankees have re-signed Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo, added Carlos Rodon, and still need a left fielder for next year. There’s definitely an urgency factor now that Andrew Benintendi has signed a five-year deal with the White Sox. Aaron Hicks cannot be the starting left fielder on Opening Day, and neither can Estevan Florial … Continued

The Giants face the Commanders this Sunday night in what will be an incredibly crucial NFC East matchup.
Jets quarterback Mike White (ribs) will not start against the Lions this Sunday. Zach Wilson is back in the lineup.
Odell Beckham Jr.’s free agency saga may be (mercifully) approaching an actual conclusion. From USA Today: Odell Beckham, Jr. is apparently on the verge of joining the Dallas Cowboys for the upcoming NFL playoffs, according to the man who signs the checks. “Odell’s going to join us,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told USA TODAY Sports … Continued
Two years ago this week, the Mets made one of their first major signings of the Steve Cohen era. It was a four-year, $40.6 million deal with catcher James McCann. To celebrate this anniversary, New York signed Omar Narvaez Thursday night, which would give them four (!) catchers on the 40-man roster. This signing all … Continued
The Jets have a huge game on Sunday at MetLife Stadium to get themselves back on track. They’ll have to do so without quarterback Mike White. Doctors wouldn’t clear him for contact with his injured ribs before the weekend, so Zach Wilson gets his opportunity to steer New York’s offense once again. Wilson has been … Continued
The Yankees have been the favorites to land starting pitcher Carlos Rodon for at least the last couple of weeks. After lots of reported stalling in negotiations — which was likely manufactured by Rodon’s well-known agent — the Bombers finally got their man on Thursday night. Despite there being a “sizable gap” between what the … Continued
