It’s not all that common for a relief pitcher in the minors to generate even a moderate level of prospect buzz, but Nave Lavender garnered such attention when we put together our list of the Mets’ top prospects a couple years ago. Coming off a strong season in Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse, the 6’ […]
The New York Jets are towards the top of the league in cap space this offseason, and with a defense heavy draft in April, it makes sense for the Jets to try and tackle one of the their biggest weaknesses in free agency. That being their desperate need for playable wide receivers. Beyond Garrett Wilson […]
You’ve all seen it a million times by now: The New Jersey Devils’ own Jack Hughes scoring the golden goal in yesterday’s Gold Medal Game against Canada. Our superstar delivered the USA its first mens hockey gold medal since the Miracle On Ice team of 1980, one of hockey’s mythological teams, not just in the […]
Mike and Dan look ahead to the Islanders resuming their season with three huge games, and present a special Olympic version of Master Leaf Theatre. The Islanders’ final 24 games will be a brutal sprint, with lots of in-conference opponents, a road trip out west and seven back-to-backs. They get a taste of all of […]
Not you guys but Nats news. Anyone care? Zuckerman is doing his thing over at Substack asking a good question - who's going to be the closer. I'd bet on Clayton Beeter, who I like in part because it's unlikely the Dodgers (a great minor league operation) and Yankees (a minor league that readily develops decent relievers) are both wrong about the guy having solid skills. Cole Henry could also be the choice as a long time org favorite. But given that closer doesn't matter as much as ...
Chris Ballard loves his picks. The more darts he has to throw at the board, the better in his opinion. In 2026, Ballard is missing his biggest dart after the Indianapolis Colts traded it for Sauce Gardner before last year’s trade deadline. It was a swing for the fences type of move that didn’t pan […]
For the Yankees teams of late, left-handed pitching out of the bullpen has not often been at a surplus. They made a low-stakes move at addressing that mid-season in 2024, when they picked up a down-and-out Tim Hill. He immediately flipped a switch upon arrival in the Bronx, and became one of their more reliable […]
When Ben Rortvedt was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Sunday, it wasn’t the first time the catcher joined a New York organization, but it was certainly the quietest. Back in 2022, Rortvedt was acquired by the Yankees as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Gary Sánchez and Gio Urshela to Minnesota. Four […]
New York half-baked its play for the greater part of Sunday’s affair… …but turned up the heat late and did enough to win another game. Here’s a bunch of stuff said of late by your Knicks superheroes. Mike Brown On Robinson’s absence on Sunday and his back-to-back management: “Obviously, he hasn’t played a back-to-back yet. […]
Acquiring Adam Fox accelerated the last rebuild. Could trading him accelerate the next one?
Not just one of the greatest Yankees of all time — No. 24 by our Top 100 a few years back — Elston is one of the most important in the history of the franchise. A six-time champion, Howard won an MVP in pinstripes and lengthened the lineup of that legendary 1961 club. Most important […]

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York metropolitan area is in the tail end of the Blizzard of ‘26. Heavy snow and howling winds make things treacherous out there. Hopefully you are all safe and warm as you ride out the storm. For the Jets the storm never seems to end, but someday things […]
Jack Hughes delivers gold at the Olympics! Here are your links for today: Devils Links Our guy Jack, sporting cracked teeth, with the golden goal for Team USA! Luke’s reaction to the goal: “The Devils have been one of the league’s biggest disappointments — but there are still several positives beneath the surface.” [Infernal Access […]
We’re a couple games into spring now, and already seen a few highlight performances from the handful of innings that each player has gotten into thus far. Aaron Judge stole the show in the home opener with a two-homer showcase, but right before the Captain went off we got a glimpse of Judge’s potential protege […]
In 1980, it was Jim Craig. In 1996, it was Mike Richter. In 2026, it was Connor Hellebuyck playing the role of goaltender spoiler keying a U.S. victory over a favored opponent. Deciding the gold medal via 3-on-3 overtime feels silly, but it’s at least an improvement over the shootout (Peter Forsberg, 1994, and Czechs […]
The Houston Rockets wrapped up a tough seven-game stretch across the All-Star break at 3-4. It started poorly with two bad losses, but after a bit of recovery, Rockets fans should feel like there was meat left on the bone in losses to the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. On paper, tonight’s game […]
The Utah Jazz are going to be in a very tight tanking race to end this season. Right now, they’re competing with the Kings, Pacers, Nets, Pelicans, and Wizards to jump into the top-5 come lottery night. A team to watch is the New Orleans Pelicans, who are not incentivized to tank at all this […]
NJ.com | Randy Miller: When Spencer Jones launched a fly ball deep into the Tampa sky and out of George M. Steinbrenner Stadium during his first plate appearances this spring, Yankees fans were immediately reminded of the towering moonshots that Aaron Judge so regularly graces us with in the Bronx. However, eagle-eyed fans clued into […]
Playing the second game of a back-to-back, the New York Knicks (36*-21) face the Chicago Bulls (24-33) tonight at United Center. The Bulls list Anfernee Simons as day-to-day with a wrist issue and Jaden Ivey out with knee soreness. The Knicks are heavily favored thanks to Chicago’s eight-game skid and general stinkability. Tip-off at 8 […]
The New Orleans Pelicans picked up a big win on Saturday night, bringing their record to 16-42 and pushing, if just for a moment, the Brooklyn Nets to the third-worst record in the league at 15-40. And again, they’re not even tanking! Unfortunately for Adam Silver’s pariahs, the true tanking teams, matching the ineptitude of […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Sunday afternoon to face the Brooklyn Nets. The Hawks were coming off a rough loss to the Miami Heat on Friday, where they were dominated in the second half of the game. Two days later, they faced up against a Nets team that hasn’t played the best this […]
