Meet the Mets Come on, Superman, say your stupid line: Francisco Alvarez is in the best shape of his life as spring training begins. Christian Scott is very confident as he makes his return from Tommy John surgery. Unlike past springs, Jonah Tong is now firmly in the spotlight for the Mets. Steve Cohen spoke […]
It’s All-Star Weekend. Give us a break. Not really, we’ll still watch whatever happens at those events. Mike Brown On Diawara’s small details and flashes: “There’s just a lot of little things when you see Mo play that make you go, ‘Oh my gosh, wow.’ And all those things, when you add them up to […]

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The conclusion to the 2025 MLB season wasn’t a particularly satisfactory one for Yankee fans: falling well short of the previous campaign in which they made it all the way to the Fall Classic, this time losing to a division rival in the ALDS — the same rival that stole the AL East crown from […]
Happy Saturday, Jets fans! Below are your Jets links to start your weekend. NY Jets – What are the Jets’ Biggest Needs Heading into the Offseason? Ryan Dunleavy – Woody Johnson gets win with NFLPA report card ruling Eric Allen – 10 Jets Defensive and 1 Special Teams Players Who Can Potentially Become Unrestricted Free […]
Around this time every year, prospect hounds across the country release all their lists, from team Top 10 lists, Top 100’s, and farm system rankings. The last few years, the Yankees haven’t looked so hot on those farm system ranks. This year, ESPN had them 23rd, and Baseball Prospectus put them at 22nd. It was […]
Yahoo! Sports | The Associated Press: All aboard the Cole Train! Yankees ace Gerrit Cole took the mound yesterday for his first bullpen of the spring, marking the next major milestone in his return from last March’s Tommy John surgery. Speaking to reporters, Cole reiterated that his elbow feels better than it has in two […]
Sometimes progress shows up quietly — it isn’t always flashy and it isn’t always immediate. But since assuming a bigger role, Egor Dëmin has given the Nets every reason to feel confident about their ‘bold’ investment in him. You can make what you want out of the accolades — he’s 19 years old and pundits […]
On Saturday, the Kia Shooting Stars competition returns after an 11-year break, and the Knicks have some dogs in the fight. The competition uses a two-round structure. In the first round, four teams compete one at a time, with 70 seconds to score points by rotating through seven designated shooting locations around the court. All […]
The NFL Players Association has annually asked its players to grade their team on numerous categories. These categories include the quality of the locker room, the quality of the training staff, and the quality of the weight room among others. Another of the categories is owner quality. A year ago, Jets owner Woody Johnson was […]
Hello Devils friends and family, I hope you’re all enjoying your reprieve from *gestures at Newark*. It’s no secret that this current version of the Devils has flamed out spectacularly. If it is a secret… umm, surprise! They have 25 games left, and would need to go 20-4-1 to get to 99 points and be […]
I have my complaints about the Hal Steinbrenner-Brian Cashman administration, with one of the big ones being that it’s not always clear where Cashman’s decision authority stops and Hal’s starts. The one thing you can never take away from the duo though is that when they want a guy, really want him, they pull out […]
The 2025 season could have been a big year for Jasson Domínguez. The long-heralded next big thing in the Yankees outfield was well-positioned to earn a starting role following Juan Soto’s crosstown departure, and had finally recovered from the litany of injuries which plagued his previous two seasons. But while the 22-year old had his […]
Four Jets players will see their contracts void today. Teams sometimes structure deals that void on a certain date. Simpson, for example, signed what was nominally a five year contract in the 2024 offseason, but it was written with a clause to automatically void after year two. Because this contract was for five years on […]
Last season, the Knicks were a pretty shallow team. Outside of their overly used starting five and key reserves Deuce McBride and Mitchell Robinson, they didn’t have any reliable pieces that would be ticketed for regular roles in Tom Thibodeau’s rotation. Sure, they had Cam Payne, Landry Shamet, Delon Wright, and Precious Achiuwa, who would […]
Cade Cavalli made his long-awaited return to the big league mound in August 2025, and in his 48.2 innings pitched, he flashed brilliance, posting a 95th percentile chase rate, 95th percentile barrel rate, and 93rd percentile groundball rate. Outside of a disastrous outing against the Yankees in August, where he allowed 7 earned runs over […]
For all but maybe one or two years in the Aaron Judge era, the Yankees have always had a good, if not great, offense beyond the big man himself. They routinely pace the Junior Circuit in runs, wRC+, home runs, etc. Regardless of who’s in the lineup or what their overall skills are, they generally […]
10. Griffin Herring (368 points, 19 ballots) Herring was the headline prospect coming to the Rockies from the Yankees in exchange for Ryan McMahon near last year’s trade deadline. The 6’2”, 22-year-old lefty pitcher was the Yankees’ sixth-round pick in 2024 out of LSU as a draft-eligible sophomore. Herring signed for a $798k bonus that […]
There’s never a good time to get blown out two games in a row. The Sixers are heading into the 2026 All-Star break coming off two of their worst losses of the season. They lost by 17 to the Portland Trail Blazers and followed it up with a 49-point embarrassment against the New York Knicks […]
One photo, years of problems: how Vincent Trocheck’s Olympic stunt exposed everything wrong with the Rangers’ locker room.
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were dealt a fairly devastating blow Thursday as top prospect Sebastian Walcott will miss most or all of the 2026 season due to a UCL tear. Woof. Walcott will reportedly undergo surgery in the coming days, though there’s still some stuff to be discussed with ol’ Dr. Meister. There’s also […]
In the 18th round of the 2017 MLB draft the New York Yankees drafted a pitcher out of the University of Alabama named Garret Whitlock. He would almost immediately make his professional debut with the Gulf Coast League Yankees. In 2018, Whitlock would appear in three levels for New York: A, A+, and AA. Overall […]

Intentional or not, Sam Darnold delivered a surprisingly wholesome reminder that the Miami Dolphins' rivals made a big mistake.
