Jets head coach Robert Saleh confirms Zach Wilson (knee) will not suit up for the team’s regular-season opener.
It’s natural to cringe when Randy Levine starts talking. The Yankees president has proven himself quite adept at starting brush fires with his mouth, from Dellin Betances to Mike Trout to the lockout earlier this year. That said, Levine was relatively measured when discussing Aaron Judge’s impending free agency with The Post on Tuesday. A … Continued
Mets star right-hander Max Scherzer is headed to the injured list with the team’s NL East lead having vanished.
While there are still 20-plus games left in the regular season, we’ve already established that the 2022 Mets have performed unlike many teams in franchise history. Thanks to the Braves being one of baseball’s hottest teams over the past three months, what New York has done still may not lead to a National League East … Continued
Mike Francesa said something interesting during an impromptu state of the radio business address on a recent edition of his BetRivers podcast.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen has finally gotten something out of holding onto a contract he has to shed. Wideout Darius Slayton has agreed to a pay cut in order to keep his roster spot, according to Newsday. His $2.5 million salary has been whacked down to the league minimum ($954,000) with incentives. Cap implications. … Continued
The Mets made a number of win-now moves last winter in advance of the 2022 MLB regular season. General manager Billy Eppler’s Black Friday spending spree, which included signing Mark Canha, Eduardo Escobar, and Starling Marte turned heads, as did acquiring Max Scherzer. But one huge acquisition New York made didn’t happen until March. That’d … Continued
It’s all tied up. The Mets were hammered by the Pirates, 8-2, on Tuesday night. And the Braves downed the Athletics, 10-9. So for the first time since opening day, the NL East is a dead heat.

Yankees president Randy Levine has weighed in on Aaron Judge’s impending free agency. From “The Show” podcast hosted by Post baseball columnists Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman: Those are questions (whether the Yankees will re-sign Judge) that really aren’t appropriate to answer now. But what is appropriate to answer now is that we love Aaron Judge. … Continued

Rizzo missed the Rays series last weekend to stay in California and get an epidural to … Continued

As one of baseball’s most dynamic players, it’s not surprising that Shohei Ohtani trade rumors dominated many headlines ahead of MLB’s August 2nd trade deadline. Although the Angels flirted with the idea of trading the reigning American League MVP, nothing ever really got serious thanks to owner Arte Moreno, according to Jon Heyman of the … Continued

Prior to Opening Day this past April, Aaron Judge turned down a $213.5 million extension offer from the Yankees. Betting on himself to outperform it was a bold move.

The result of a perfect Nets 2022-23 season is a championship. No team with three All-Stars in their prime (or close to it) would expect anything less. These Nets are dysfunctional in an almost impressive way, which is why talks of a championship seem premature at the moment. But completely overlooking the Nets as a … Continued
Craig Carton is a polarizing voice. But the debut of his FS1 morning show was a reminder of his talent. Carton does not do traditional sports talk on WFAN. But he did it for the most part for “The Carton Show” on Tuesday. And you know what? He did it pretty darn well. Carton was … Continued
Jets quarterback Zach Wilson worked out Monday, just under three weeks after surgery to clean up his right knee. Could he make a miraculous recovery and start Sunday against the Ravens? “It’s possible,” head coach Robert Saleh told reporters. But highly, highly unlikely.

We’ve entered the final month of MLB’s regular season. The Mets are in first place and have the easiest part of their schedule in front of them.

Looking at a ballplayer’s numbers can speak volumes, but not as much as actually seeing them perform in person.

The Giants admitted the truth Thursday — first with words, then with actions. They will be a very bad team in 2022.

There’s no way around it: Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has completely owned MLB’s home run leaderboard in 2022.
