In case you missed it, the Yankees are calling up shortstop Oswald Peraza. What’s even more significant, however, is why Peraza is getting the call. This isn’t just some willy-nilly promotion for the last month of the season. After holding onto him at the trade deadline, it’s clear the Yankees very much like Peraza and what … Continued
There’s no way around it: Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has completely owned MLB’s home run leaderboard in 2022. He’s run away with it in such a fashion that he now has something in common with Babe Ruth. As the calendar flipped from August to September, Judge had a comfortable 15-homer lead over the next-closest slugger. … Continued
If you’re a Mets fan, there’s reason to be proud of the Amazins this week. In a potential playoff preview with the Dodgers, baseball’s best team, New York secured two victories in three tries.

The football stuff first: This will be a season where Rutgers likely takes a step back, but then can take three steps forward down the road. The Scarlet Knights have more talent now than last year. That does not mean the record will improve. The schedule is more challenging. The offensive line will improve, but … Continued

Arguing whether or not Joe Flacco is an elite quarterback is a debate we’ve been having since what feels like the beginning of time. It became prominent enough of a conversation that Flacco himself discussed it 10 years ago as a member of the Ravens. Fast-forward a decade later, though, and his own kids have … Continued

The 2022 MLB regular season has been a tale of two different campaigns for the Yankees. Prior to the All-Star break, manager Aaron Boone’s club owned a 64-28 record. It was easily the best in baseball, and the American League East was all but theirs thanks to a 13-game cushion over the Rays. After a … Continued
The Jets trimmed their roster to 53 players. But the work might not be done in finding the top guys for Week 1.
Darius Slayton has been granted a reprieve. But it remains to be seen for how long.

The salary cap-strapped Giants were expected to … Continued
This is not a political post. It’s just a funny one. Nick Adams — the MAGA Twitter guy who is always yakking about Tim Tebow — has graced the world with his first-ever fantasy football preview. Or, as he calls it, “a comprehensive draft guide to ensure your team is loaded with faith, patriotism and … Continued
If you’re a Mets fan, things are great right now. That’s especially the case after watching Jacob deGrom, Brandon Nimmo, and friends even up a potential postseason preview with the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday night at Citi Field. Naturally, the fan base had to be taken off Cloud 9 this morning, courtesy of Andy Martino … Continued
We know you remember Jordan Montgomery. The former Yankees southpaw made sure of that by going 4-0 with a 1.78 ERA in his first five starts with the Cardinals. But what about the guy the Bombers traded him for at the deadline? We may finally start to see if Harrison Bader was worth the move. … Continued
The 2022 regular season has been just about everything any Mets fan could hope for. The Amazins are entering the final month with a three-game lead in the National League East and are one of baseball’s best teams. FanGraphs currently has New York’s odds of winning the division at 84.8% and odds of winning the … Continued
The lead story: The Yankees stink again. They’ve dropped four of five now after Shohei Ohtani’s three-run blast — aided by errors from Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa — ruined a strong start by Gerrit Cole in a 3-2 loss in Anaheim. The sidebar: Timmy Trumpet played the trumpet. Edwin Diaz slammed the door shut … Continued
At long last, the Yankees’ forgettable August is over. New York went 10-18 this month and has just stopped hitting. Only Aaron Judge has been productive, or Anthony Rizzo when his back isn’t ailing him. The YES broadcast noted during Wednesday’s game that the Yankees had eight games in August where they had four or … Continued
Mets centerfielder Brandon Nimmo made the catch of the year Wednesday night.
The late Regis Philbin was the greatest talk show host of all time. He was also a lifelong New Yorker and a diehard Yankees and sports fan. And he had a gig on FS1 back in the day. So we are cleared to write about him when needed. And we certainly must do that here. … Continued
The Giants have trimmed their roster down to 53 players, but the work is just beginning for general manager Joe Schoen.

FOX is really milking the reveal process with Craig Carton’s FS1 morning show. The WFAN afternoon drive host’s new television venture has a name and time and will launch Sept. 6. But beyond that, details remain scarce. From the FS1 press release: The all-new THE CARTON SHOW kicks off at 7:00 AM ET, featuring Craig … Continued
Mike Francesa has been delivering well-timed radio industry wisdom on his BetRivers podcast. The WFAN legend railed against “guy talk” on Monday’s episode, perhaps taking veiled shots at successor Craig Carton. And on Tuesday — hours before Audacy refuted a report it is headed for bankruptcy — he went in-depth on the state of the … Continued
View this post on Instagram A post shared by ESNY (@elitesportsny) The night wasn’t a complete lost cause. Yes, the Dodgers’ 4-3 win over the Mets kept closer Edwin Diaz in the bullpen and denied the world Timmy Trumpet’s live rendition of “Narco.” But Trumpet did still, um, play the trumpet. He performed … Continued
The lead story: The trumpets are on hold. The Dodgers got some timely hitting and shut down the Mets’ bats in a 4-3 win on Tuesday night at Citi Field. That meant Timmy Trumpet didn’t get to perform “Narco” live for closer Edwin Diaz. But he says he will return Wednesday to try again! The … Continued
Audacy, which owns WFAN, WCBS, WINS and a slew of other New York radio stations (as well as Philadelphia’s WIP and other big outlets), is clearly in financial crisis. But it adamantly denied it is preparing to file for bankruptcy on Tuesday night. “A blog post published today falsely claimed that Audacy’s CEO confirmed Audacy’s … Continued
Darius Slayton knows he’s likely on his way out of New York. The Giants should certainly trade the fourth-year wide receiver.
Timmy Trumpet, who helped create Edwin Diaz’s entrance song “Narco,” is in attendance at Citi Field for Tuesday’s Mets game.

When Tom Coughlin fell on his sword after the 2015 season, the Giants had missed the playoffs for four straight years and had just posted a third consecutive losing season.

The lead story: The Yankees are swooning again. Aaron Judge blasted his 50th home run of the season on Monday night in Anaheim, but it still wasn’t enough.

SNY’s Ian Begley recently noted the Jazz “certainly” would like young star RJ Barrett in any deal for Mitchell. This should immediately sound the alarm for any and all Knicks fans, even if … Continued
Alex Rodriguez fell short of buying the Mets. He apparently wants to buy the Marlins, but they are not for sale. And now the former Yankees star and ESPN/FOX analyst’s ongoing deal to be a part-owner of the Timberwolves with billionaire tycoon Marc Lore is reportedly on shaky ground — in part because he is … Continued
The phrase “playoff preview” is tossed around often when referring to highly-anticipated regular season matchups in sports. But sometimes it actually means something. This is one of those times. The Mets’ three-game homestead against the Dodgers, starting Tuesday at Citi Field, feels like a dry run for the NLCS as long as the Amazins hold … Continued
The New York Knicks are making a commitment to RJ Barrett, one that contains nine figures. Barrett, 22, is inking a four-year extension per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. SNY’s Ian Begley added more intel on the structure of Barrett’s deal, which could reach $120 million if he nails his incentives. Barrett’s extension – which makes him … Continued
Mike Francesa may have just been reflecting on his beliefs and career. He may have been trying to throw a brushback pitch at a longtime adversary. Or perhaps it was a little bit of both? The WFAN legend is back from Saratoga and back podcasting. He answered a slew of listener emails Monday on his … Continued
If Yankees fans are banking on Austin Wells as the catcher of the future, one analyst believes they will be sorely disappointed. The Athletic’s Keith Law did not mince words in a recent scouting notebook. He said Wells, the Bombers’ first-round pick in 2020, is not equipped to catch in the big leagues and the … Continued
