Nestor Cortes is now biggest key to Yankees’ World Series hopes
Nestor Cortes has been a joy this year. The All-Star bid, arm angles, mustache, nickname, proposal, all of it. And now the Yankees have to hope the clock doesn’t strike midnight on him anytime soon.

‘The Captain’ episodes 5-6 review: Derek Jeter is human after all
The fifth and sixth installments of ESPN’s Derek Jeter docuseries “The Captain” covered the latter half of the Hall of Fame shortstops career.

Will Yankees retire Alex Rodriguez’s number? Mike Francesa weighs in
Alex Rodriguez had a remarkable, albeit controversial, career for the Yankees. Rodriguez is among the top-10 in franchise history in many offensive categories.

It’s been quiet on the Donovan Mitchell-to-the-Knicks front. Very quiet. But we have a small smidge of movement. The Jazz want a massive haul of draft picks, according to HoopsHype.

New York Yankees at St. Louis Cardinals: Baseball’s historic titans square off in rare series
The Yankees play the Cardinals this weekend. And that’s special. You’d never know it, but it’s true. The Cardinals are the most successful team in baseball history after the Yankees. New York’s 27 championships are followed by St Louis’ Midwesternly modest 11. But the Cardinals hold a 3-2 lead in the five Fall Classics involving the … Continued

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman granted WFAN’s Craig Carton and Evan Roberts a post-trade deadline audience Thursday afternoon.

Brian Cashman: Yankees were never serious Juan Soto contender
The Yankees called the Nationals about Juan Soto. But it did not get much farther than that.

Cashman said that was clear before the blockbuster deal that sent Soto to the … Continued
Didi Gregorius released by Phillies. Should Yankees pounce?
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.

How NFLPA’s Deshaun Watson suspension ploy could keep him from playing vs. Jets no matter what
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

This wild Gerrit Cole stat is not what you (or Yankees) want

Why NFL’s Deshaun Watson appeal could mean he plays vs. Jets
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.

NFL’s investigative incompetence strikes again in Deshaun Watson debacle
aRoger Goodell always takes the heat when the NFL botches a disciplinary matter. Which makes sense because he is certainly not without fault.

The first rumblings of Bronny James coming to the New York metro area came way back in 2020 — before the pandemic.
