Anthony Volpe may not be the Yankees’ shortstop of the future after all. From The Athletic: Some rival scouts are not convinced top Yankees prospect Anthony Volpe will remain at shortstop, believing he ultimately might end up at second or even third base. One scout compares the 5-foot-11, 180 pound Volpe’s body type to that … Continued
One week ago, Joe Benigno was calling for Mike White. Now, he’s a Joe Flacco fan following his incredible performance vs. Cleveland.
I will be the first to admit it: I completely missed the boat on Eli Manning’s post-NFL life. After spending three seasons reporting on him (2015-17) as a Giants beat writer, I assumed Manning would more or less disappear once he retired. Not that I knew him terribly well — feel, if any, people who … Continued
A new-look Knicks team means there needs to be an equally new-look team effort. Look no further than last season to see why. For one reason or another, the Knicks never got on the same page as a team and it all devolved from there. RJ Barrett was streaky in an otherwise career season and … Continued
The Giants have played far from perfect over the first two weeks of the NFL regular season. Doing everything perfectly isn’t the most important thing, though — winning is. New York has done that well, as the squad is 2-0 for the first time since 2016. How strange of a feeling is this for the … Continued
In case you missed it over the weekend, the Mets’ season is back on, folks.

We’ve been talking a lot about the Mets’ soft September schedule, and for good reason. All contending teams dream about being in first place and having the league’s weakest remaining slate of regular-season games. However, this stretch was looking more like a nightmare through the first few series. It included a 4-2 road trip between … Continued
After yet another two-homer game on Sunday in Milwaukee, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has 59 home runs and is on the precipice of history. New York’s next six games are at home, which sets the stage for a terrific moment in the Bronx. But what if he hits his 62nd home run on Friday when … Continued
We have a very 2022 situation developing with Aaron Judge’s home run chase. The Yankees slugger has hit 59 homers. He is two away from tying Roger Maris for the American League and franchise records and three away from passing him. And when he hits 62, a sizable portion of the baseball-interested population will consider … Continued
Welcome to Victory Monday times two … The Jets saved their season. And quite possibly Robert Saleh’s career. The absolute worst-case scenario for the Jets entering this season was to become irrelevant before Zach Wilson returned from injury. And that would have more or less been accomplished with an 0-2 start. So they needed Sunday’s … Continued
The Yankees would have preferred to win their weekend series with the Brewers, but Milwaukee put up three tough games with an even tougher team. New York avoided the sweep and prevailed in Sunday’s nailbiting 12-8 win, thanks to two more Aaron Judge home runs. The MVP contender has 59 for the season and can … Continued

The Jets trailed the Browns in Cleveland all day during their Week 2 matchup, but they kept hanging around and it ended up paying off. First, it was Garrett Wilson catching his first career touchdown pass to get the Jets even at seven early in the second quarter. Right before halftime, Breece Hall caught another … Continued
Robert Saleh has receipts. And he has a desperately-needed win. The Jets stunned the Browns, 31-30, on Sunday, scoring 14 points in the final 1:22 to shock the Cleveland crowd and back up their embattled head coach. Quarterback Joe Flacco connected with rookie wideout Garrett Wilson for a 15-yard touchdown with 22 seconds left to … Continued

Aaron Judge is fast approaching a magical single-season home run number. But can the Yankees star reach an even bigger career one? The 500-home run club still carries immense weight, even in post-Steroid Era times. Membership all but guarantees induction into the Hall of Fame (with the exception of those known or suspected to have … Continued
As the Giants prepare for a Week 2 showdown at MetLife Stadium against the Carolina Panthers, some people are still thinking about what New York did in Week 1. Who, you ask? Oh, you know — just a guy named Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham, who spent five seasons with the Giants at wide receiver before … Continued
Do you remember the people last year and throughout the winter saying Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor wasn’t worth the $341 million contract he signed? It seems like those naysayers have been awfully quiet this year. As the Mets went from looking lifeless against the Cubs to blowing out the Pirates on Thursday night at Citi … Continued
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is having one of the most powerful seasons in baseball history.

The Jets are six-point road underdogs in Cleveland, according to Sports Betting Dime. … Continued
Boy, did the Mets need that. Francisco Lindor delivered a two-run home run and Carlos Carrasco threw six solid innings as the Amazins beat the Pirates, 7-1, on Thursday night at Citi Field.

Folks, the Mets are struggling right now. The wheels haven’t fallen off yet, but if they don’t regain their swagger soon, everything could start falling apart.

Carton has shown he can actually talk about sports with a semblance of authority while still being entertaining. And the co-hosts have been solid. That said, it may be trailing some test patterns on the Nielsen … Continued
I like to think I stay pretty even keel about the Mets, especially when they go through the typical ups and downs in a 162-game schedule. It’s a long season, so those peaks and valleys are inevitable. What just happened over the past three days was ugly, though. Real ugly. Finding the words to articulate … Continued
The Yankees’ late-summer slump is officially over after a two-game sweep of the Red Sox. Boston was completely outmatched by New York in both games, even with Tuesday’s tilt going into extra innings. Aaron Judge mashed, Gleyber Torres’ talented bat was rediscovered, and the pitching worked around a rough Gerrit Cole outing. The magic number … Continued
The Mets spent weeks lamenting how the Braves just never lost. That no matter how well they played, Atlanta still managed to gradually gain ground in the NL East. Good news for the Amazins: The Braves have cooled off. The reigning world champions have dropped four of their last five. But the bad news? The … Continued
Mike Francesa let the Mets have it. “For the first time this year, a completely unacceptable stretch of baseball by the Mets,” the WFAN legend tweeted after the Cubs finished off a sweep of the Amazins on Wednesday night. “Pathetic.” The Cubs broke out the brooms with a 6-3 win over the Mets at Citi … Continued
Jeff Passan’s Twitter bio reads as follows: “ESPN. I bomb atomically.” This usually pertains to news he breaks on the ol’ bird app, but it doesn’t only happen there.
