Nets don’t plan on blowing roster up … yet
The start of the Nets’ 2022-23 season has been a whirlwind, to say the least.

How Texas Rangers are clearing the deck for Jacob deGrom
MLB free agency is here, and there’s a real chance Jacob deGrom won’t be pitching for the Mets in 2023. New York will do what it can to retain the right-handed pitcher, but if another team comes in and blows the ace away with an offer, who knows what’ll happen. At this stage, the two … Continued

LeBron James’ Kyrie Irving tweets wilt under basic scrutiny
People can rip LeBron James for backing up Kyrie Irving and point to his tweets as another example of his hypocrisy when it comes to off-court issues. And many most certainly will do that. But it will be far more effective to just follow up on them. 💭 I told you guys that I don’t … Continued
Mets’ Plan B for outfield and offense shouldn’t include Michael Conforto
MLB free agency is about to get wilder. Once 5 pm ET hits on Thursday, teams can freely negotiate contracts and come to agreements with available players.

If FIFA is OK with Qatar World Cup storage locker ‘village,’ it had better be OK with NJ Transit
There are many reasons why the Qatar World Cup — kicking off in a few weeks — is a colossally bad idea. And to be clear, this is not among the biggest ones. But it’s still not good. Qatar has unveiled the first of its World Cup “fan villages” in Doha. ▪️ Up to 60,000 … Continued
Mets’ interest in Trea Turner seems more like fantasy than reality
As free agency opened up and the MLB offseason began in earnest with the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, we’ve already had juicy rumors floating around.

Should Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks job security be in question?
Getting blown out by the Nets on Wednesday means the Knicks and Tom Thibodeau are learning a harsh lesson: If it’s not the talent, it’s the coaching. We won’t recap the game too much. Kevin Durant’s triple-double carried shorthanded Brooklyn to a 112-85 win. Jacque Vaughn being promoted to full-time head coach clearly had that much … Continued

It doesn’t sound like Kyrie Irving is returning to Nets anytime soon
We preface this by saying transparency and truth are not exactly strengths for the Nets. But it sure does not seem like Kyrie Irving is anywhere close to being back on the court.

Pursuing Justin Verlander makes more sense for Yankees than Mets
After pitching all but six innings between 2020 and 2021, starting pitcher Justin Verlander bet on himself in 2022 with the Houston Astros.

Disrespected Jets just got handed more receipts after Bills upset

What will WFAN do when Boomer Esiason retires?

Jets’ Sauce Gardner gets stamp of approval from Darrelle Revis
When you think of the best cornerbacks in Jets history, there’s really only one name that comes to mind: Darrelle Revis.

New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets: Preview, analysis, prediction
Neither the New York Knicks nor Brooklyn Nets are enjoying strong starts to the year as the two city rivals meet for the first time this season.

It’s time for Yankees to trade Gleyber Torres
It wasn’t long ago that Gleyber Torres seemed the last player the Yankees would ever trade away. Think back to when he first arrived from the Chicago Cubs in the Aroldis Chapman trade in 2016. The then-19-year-old Torres was all but certain to be one of baseball’s next great hitters. His soft hands fueled elite … Continued
Can Yankees afford to lose Anthony Rizzo?

Yankees are potential landing spot for NPB star Masataka Yoshida
There’s no way around it. What the Yankees do and don’t do this winter to supplement the roster for 2023 will revolve around whether or not Aaron Judge returns.

Yankees free agency: Zack Britton, Chad Green and ghosts of bullpens past
Think of the Yankees‘ bullpen during Aaron Boone’s tenure as manager, and it’s impossible to not think of Zack Britton or Chad Green.

What Mets re-signing Edwin Diaz means for Aaron Judge, Yankees
The Mets made the first big splash of free agency when Edwin Diaz signed a new five-year, $102 million contract. The Yankees should be paying attention.

It sounds like Yankees are grasping at Aaron Judge free agency straws
