Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
In addition to mentioning that Juan Soto is dealing with forearm tightness in his pregame press availability, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that fellow outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is dealing with lower back tightness. The team considers him day-to-day at the moment. The perpetually-injured Robert is in his age-28 season, his first in Queens as […]
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Juan Soto experienced forearm tightness after throwing on Friday, and the team is hoping he can get back to playing the field in the next few days. For now, Soto is in the Mets’ lineup as the team’s designated hitter for their series opener against the Nationals tonight at […]
The San Francisco 49ers announced a pair of signings on Tuesday afternoon. Running back Sincere McCormick and safety Patrick McMorris agreed to one-year deals. McCormick spent time on the 49ers’ practice squad last season. McMorris is a new name, unless you watch college football in the Bay Area. He was selected by the Giants in […]
Six years ago, the Seattle Seahawks hammered the New York Jets in an empty Lumen Field by a score of 40-3. Russell Wilson threw four touchdowns, Geno Smith came in for his first pass attempts as a Seahawks quarterback, while Jets starter Sam Darnold barely completed half his passes. The Seahawks are now reigning Super […]
We don’t know exactly when, but Anthony Volpe is nearing a return to the Yankees. Once the team ends his rehab assignment and brings him back to the big leagues, the expectation is that Volpe will resume his duties as the starting shortstop or, at the very least, play the majority of games there going […]
Ahead of their series opener against the Nationals on Tuesday, the Mets placed Kodai Senga on the 15-day injured list with lumbar spine inflammation and recalled Christian Scott from Triple-A Syracuse. Senga came out of the gate strong this season. In his first two starts, the 33-year-old pitched 11.2 innings, allowing four runs (3.09 ERA) […]
I’m writing this before the Yankees take on the Rangers Monday night, so it’s subject to change, but at this moment Jazz Chisholm Jr. is the worst player in baseball when it comes to the ABS challenge system. His 14 percent success rate is the lowest in the sport, and this weekend against the Astros […]
You may remember last week, right before the draft, I laid out a more holistic vision for what I wanted to see from the Jets. Fast forward a week, and the draft has come and gone. For the most part, I walked away encouraged. Bits and pieces have come out about how the Jets prepared […]
The Nats grinded out a series win against the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, taking the last 2 games of the series to bring themselves back to just 3 games under .500. A game-tying solo home run in the top of the 8th inning of Game 1 was quickly neutralized by a game-winning Sam […]
When the Yankees learned that Anthony Volpe had been playing through much of 2025 with a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder and would miss the start of the season while rehabbing from surgery, it’s a good thing they had his readymade replacement on the big league roster. Thanks to a shrewd piece of […]
The late 1950s were among the best of times in the rich history of the New York Yankees. While the likes of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Whitey Ford made the headlines, those years featured deep rosters for the Bombers, including exemplary depth and talent on the mound. Among that unsung crowd during that time, […]
The East is so bad we might on the other side of the bracket… …that we’ll have an anticipated ECF matchup in the second round of the playoffs. Knicks vs. Celtics for an NBA Finals berth. You bet? Mike Brown On adjusting the offense around Brunson and Towns: “Obviously, trying to get KAT the ball […]
The New York Mets (9-19) welcome the Washington Nationals (13-16) to Citi Field for their first meeting of the season, as well as the first in-division series of the year for the Mets. There isn’t too much to say about the Mets’ season at this point that hasn’t been said already here, on WFAN, in […]
In a bit of surprising news, the Yankees will be calling up one of their top pitching prospects, Elmer Rodríguez, to make a spot start this week. Aaron Boone confirmed today that Rodríguez would start tomorrow afternoon’s series finale with the Rangers. Will Warren was originally scheduled to start, but will instead see his outing […]
The Philadelphia Phillies have fired manager Rob Thomson, per multiple reports, with the team having gotten off to a 9-19 start, tied with the Mets for the worst record in the majors. Don Mattingly has been named the team’s interim manager. Thomson, 62, was named the Phillies’ interim manager 51 games into the 2022 season […]

Some big prospect decisions will be made this summer. Here are a few of them. Sign Silayev It should surprise no one to see Silayev at the top of this list. The 20-year-old 6’7 Russian defender was eliminated along with the rest of Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the 2nd round of the KHL playoffs and […]
A light Monday slate, along with some of the Yanks’ rivals facing each other, made for a quiet night. The good news about these teams playing each other is that someone has to lose. The bad news is someone has to win. Monday, for example, Boston and Tampa took down Toronto and Cleveland, respectively. With […]
Over the next few months, we’ll be breaking down all of the rookies added by the Jets during the draft and as undrafted free agents. We begin today with wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. The 22-year old Cooper is listed at 6’0” and 199 pounds and was the 30th overall pick out of Indiana. Cooper […]
Making declarations about a baseball team before the calendar turns to May is a fool’s errand, but here we are. The Mets have been so bad to begin the 2026 season that it really does feel like their season has gone down the tubes. On top of the fact that they’re 9-19 and tied with […]
Last week, Andrew put out a post on our feed asking for your hot takes, and you all delivered. With the Yankees rolling and on their way to another competitive season, there’s plenty of things to get ambitious about, so let’s see what’s got you all fired up after a month or so of play. […]
The New York Knicks host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game Five of their first-round playoff series, tied 2–2. The winner takes command, while the loser will return to Atlanta pondering an elimination game. Need it be said? The Knicks are the better team. They have led for 92% of the […]
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, the Mets snapped their 12-game losing streak only to turn around and start a brand new one in […]
Claimed off waivers from San Jose, parked in the press box, and never given a real chance. How do you even grade that?
Yankees 4, Rangers 2
