Jose Trevino and the Yankees have been a perfect match. Since arriving from the Texas Rangers in April, Trevino has established himself as the Bronx Bombers’ starting catcher with great results.

Yankees get a wake-up call: They’re mortal after all
Under normal circumstances, we’d be discussing takeaways from the Yankees‘ three-game set with the Reds that just wrapped. Except these aren’t normal circumstances.

Yankees backing off interest in Royals’ unvaccinated Andrew Benintendi (how could they not?)
Andrew Benintendi won’t get the shot. And that has cost him a shot to come to the Bronx.

Benintendi is one of 10 Royals who is not vaccinated. Kansas City … Continued
New Adam Schefter takeout lays NFL scoop-industrial complex bare
The Washington Post published a thoroughly-reported Adam Schefter feature on Tuesday. It does not paint a flattering picture of ESPN’s ace NFL insider.

Yankees have bad, bad case of senioritis right now
I look at the Yankees’ performance recently and can’t help but think back to the spring before high school graduation.

The Rangers made their first obvious offseason move, trading backup goaltender Alexander Georgiev to the newly-crowned Stanley Cup champion Avalanche for multiple draft picks.

What is Knicks’ best offer for Jazz star Donovan Mitchell (and is it good enough?)
Sweet vindication for NBA reporter and internet meme Brian Windhorst. He was right. The Jazz are indeed up to something.

Why does Kevin Durant want out? Nets don’t even seem to know
Once Kevin Durant asked the Nets to trade him, the focus has been on potential landing spots. And understandably so. But there has never been a full explanation for the trade demand.

The Mets did pretty much all they could. And still. They had a soft 10-game stretch to get well after being slapped around by the Astros. They went 6-4. Sure, it could have been 7-3 or 8-2. But it wasn’t 5-5 or 4-6 or worse. And yet, here they are. What was a three-game … Continued

NFL thinks more of Leonard Williams than Giants fans
Leonard Williams’ tenure with the Giants has never sat all that well. Former general manager Dave Gettleman overpaid the Jets for the defensive tackle in a surprising deal at the 2019 trade deadline.
