The Nationals have made it clear they plan to trade Juan Soto. It may happen at this year’s Aug. 2 deadline. Or this winter. Or at next year’s deadline. Washington has plenty of time, after all, with him under club control for two more seasons after this one. But it’s going to happen. The Nationals … Continued

Aaron Judge and the Yankees had done everything right in their free agency dance.

The Yankees went from limping into the All-Star break to charging into it within hours. It had been a rough week for the Bombers.

New York’s No. 2 afternoon drive sports talk program generated some buzz on Monday afternoon.
