Which version of Gerrit Cole will the Yankees get this season?

So, the Yankees are running it back 2026. As frustrating as that will feel to many (cue the “getting Gerrit Cole back is like trading for an ace!” proclamations from Yankee brass), there is reason to be optimistic about the strategy.

Thursday Morning Fly By: We made it!

*We have made it, Flyers fans, to the final game before two glorious weeks off from the Philadelphia Flyers.

Charlotte Hornets trade deadline extravaganza

Today is the NBA trade deadline. The Charlotte Hornets have already made a couple of moves, and I’d be surprised if they’re done.
