The Giants announced Tuesday they will induct seven men into their Ring of Honor this fall, the biggest name being Leonard Marshall. That likely led many fans to wonder, “Wait, Leonard Marshall isn’t in it yet?” No, he wasn’t. Which is inexplicable. The former defensive lineman has more sacks and tackles than ROH inductees Justin … Continued
Gerrit Cole recently said the struggling Yankees needed “a spark,” and it may be coming. Bob Klapisch of NJ.com reported that outfield prospect Estevan Florial will be promoted to the majors tomorrow. And honestly, why not? Hicks has basically become the Yankees’ new Joey Gallo. Instead of being an automatic strikeout, he’s just an automatic … Continued
The Yankees are finally bringing Estevan Florial up, according to NJ.com. All it took was a rash of injuries and Aaron Hicks hitting new lows. Florial, 24, has been raking at the Triple-A level in Scranton. He’s batting .282 with 14 home runs, 37 RBI and 32 stolen bases. He was briefly with the big … Continued

Carlos Beltran’s rookie season as a YES Network analyst has left much to be desired. The former Yankees and Mets star (and alleged Astros cheating scheme ring leader and quickie Mets manager) was a curious pick from the start. Many floated the conspiracy theory the Yankees just wanted him around the club as a managerial … Continued
Maybe Aaron Hicks needs a beach too? The centerfielder was once again right in the thick of a meltdown loss for the Yankees on Monday. He misplayed a fly ball in comical fashion, setting up the Rays’ first run, then grounded into a rally-killing double play and went hitless in the 4-0 defeat. Hicks is … Continued

Kenny Golladay’s goal line drop in Foxborough was not just a bad moment for a bad signing. It was a reminder of how doomed Daniel Jones’ tenure as the Giants’ quarterback likely is. We may not know exactly who Jones is yet. But this much seems clear: He’s not a miracle worker. Even if he … Continued
Derek Jeter’s in-studio “KayRod” appearance with Michael Kay and Alex Rodriguez had its awkward moments. And there was certainly tension in the air. But – if you take them at their word – the two Yankees greats have reached détente. “You move on. You learn. Things happen in life,” Jeter said during the ESPN2 alternative … Continued
Somebody needs to remind the Yankees the season hasn’t ended yet. They have yet to win a series all month. And they just handed the rival Red Sox their first series win of the season against an AL East team. The alleged Bronx Bombers are 3-9 in August and just can’t seem to get what … Continued
It’s been the summer of wild Jonathan Papelbon quotes for some reason. The former Red Sox closer has been doing his best Skip Bayless impression. Maybe he wants to co-host Craig Carton’s FS1 show.

How did the Jets’ starters fare in the team’s preseason opener vs. Philly?
Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has exited Friday night’s preseason game with an apparent injury.
The slumping New York Yankees will have to break out of their funk without Giancarlo Stanton. Manager Aaron Boone told media the former MVP still doesn’t have a return date. However, he has resumed some baseball activities. Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) has a “full baseball day” of activities planned at Yankee Stadium, Aaron Boone said. He … Continued
Phillies right-hander Noah Syndergaard spoke to the media upon his return to Citi Field Friday night.
A video snippet of an interview between Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz and a local TV sports anchor went viral in the last day. The reason: 7News DC’s Scott Abraham made Wentz put his hard hat on during their one-on-one sitdown.

Fox tried (and failed) to hire ex-Jets lineman Damien Woody away from ESPN to … Continued
ESPN’s “The Captain” wrapped its deep dive on legendary Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter on Thursday, putting a cap on the storied career of a storied man.

So FOX had a big idea for Thursday night’s “Field of Dreams” broadcast between the Cubs and Reds: A hologram of the late Harry Caray singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch. And then, inexplicably, they followed through on it. An all-time “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” only possible through … Continued
It was a start. And that’s about it. There is only so much to take away from the Giants’ 23-21 win over the Patriots in Thursday’s preseason opener — a thriller as preseason openers go.

The Giants have completed their first preseason game of the 2022 season. Which players’ stocks are rising? Which are falling?
Isiah Kiner-Falefa is the Yankees‘ biggest liability and it’s not even close. He was the biggest liability even when Joey Gallo was on the roster. Again, it wasn’t even close there between the former Texas Rangers. Kiner-Falefa is a net-negative in every single phase of the game. He’s a below-average hitter despite his ability to … Continued
What to watch for during the Jets’ preseason opener vs. the Eagles.
Ever since the summer began, the NL East was viewed by most as a two-team race. The reigning world champion Braves got off to a slow start.

The bar was on the ground for the Giants’ offense for myriad reasons. And they did manage to hop over it.

Which is an accomplishment given how poorly … Continued

The Jets have signed veteran offensive tackle Duane Brown as expected, according to ESPN.

Keith Hernandez is catching a lot of heat from Phillies fans. He’s even catching strays from the Phillies’ radio booth on NBC Sports Philadelphia.
