The Yankees called the Nationals about Juan Soto. But it did not get much farther than that. General manager Brian Cashman kicked the tires with Washington general manager Mike Rizzo about the superstar outfielder. But the Yankees never had a chance. Cashman said that was clear before the blockbuster deal that sent Soto to the … Continued
The Phillies have released Didi Gregorius. He was batting .210 with a home run and 19 RBI this year and they needed a roster spot for Jean Segura. So not a huge surprise. The natural next question: Would/should/could the Yankees look to bring him back? A Gregorius reunion would have been a classic move in … Continued

The Mets are playing some of their best baseball right now. They’ve won eight of their past nine games and remain 3.5 games up on the Braves in the NL East.

The dog days of August are officially upon the Yankees. Yes, the Mariners are good. But The Bronx Bombers did not acquit themselves well in this series loss.

Sometimes this league has a tendency to put labels on people, and then their … Continued
Many, this website included, assumed the NFL’s decision to appeal Deshaun Watson’s suspension would potentially keep him on the field. That the NFLPA would inevitably file a lawsuit in response to whatever revised punishment commissioner Roger Goodell (or his designee) handed down, which could lead to some sort of court-mandated freeze on the ban. It … Continued

The goal also is for this to … Continued
Stats are funny things. Especially baseball stats. But this Gerrit Cole one is pretty rough. And concerning for the Yankees.

The NFL has appealed Deshaun Watson’s six-game suspension for repeated sexual misconduct with massage therapists, as expected. When the appeal is heard, the Browns quarterback’s ban will almost assuredly be longer. Significantly longer, in all likelihood. That said, an appeal also improves Watson’s chances to stay on the field in the short term. And play … Continued
The MLB trade deadline has come and gone. Which feels strange, since we’ve been talking about it around here since May or so. But pencils are now down.

The second-year quarterback has deleted all the social media apps off his phone with training camp already underway.
Not a surprise, but an ESPN panel has voted former Giants star Lawrence Taylor the greatest edge rusher in NFL history. And the results looked like a rigged election: He picked up 80% of the vote.

The Yankees already had good pitching this season and made it even better at the trade deadline. Sending four prospects to the Athletics netted starter Frankie Montas and veteran bullpen arm Lou Trivino. Sending another to the Cubs netted potential diamond in the rough Scott Effross. Not to mention they also boosted the outfield with … Continued
aRoger Goodell always takes the heat when the NFL botches a disciplinary matter. Which makes sense because he is certainly not without fault. And he makes $64 million a year to take the incoming fire for The Shield. But go back through the litany of past controversies and failures. Deflategate, Spygate, Josh Brown, Tyreek Hill, … Continued

The first rumblings of Bronny James coming to the New York metro area came way back in 2020 — before the pandemic. I was standing on the extreme outskirts of a LeBron James scrum after his Lakers beat the Knicks in an otherwise forgettable game. A question about his then-15-year-old son caught his attention. If … Continued

The Giants trading for 49ers veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo wouldn’t make a single ounce of sense.
The only thing the Yankees didn’t do against the Royals was sweep the four-game series. In a long weekend full of big swings, namely Aaron Judge’s, New York took three out of four against last-place Kansas City.

The Yankees haven’t had much to complain about so far. The best record in baseball, an American League MVP favorite, a xx-game lead in the AL East with two months to go.

The Giants warmed up for Thursday’s training camp practice by listening to one of Kadarius Toney’s more recent tracks.
The PGA Tour framed the struggle with LIV Golf as good versus literal evil. The morally bankrupt rogues taking blood money from a nefarious, oppressive regime were on one side. And the tour was on the other, aligned with those who stand tall to remind the world of Saudi Arabia’s human rights abuses, of its … Continued
Brendan Burke is a deserving heir apparent to John Sterling in the Yankees’ radio booth. That said, he should only step up to the microphone when Sterling is ready to step back.
