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 […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Intentional or not, Sam Darnold delivered a surprisingly wholesome reminder that the Miami Dolphins' rivals made a big mistake.
Max covered the big story yesterday: The Royals traded for A’s pitcher Mitch Spence. Anne Rogers covered it for MLB: The Royals were interested in Spence ahead of the 2023 Rule 5 Draft, but the A’s scooped him up from the Yankees with the first pick. In ‘24, he posted a 4.58 ERA across 35 […]
When remembering the numerous pitchers throughout the history of the New York Yankees, it’s easy to recall plenty who spent only a couple of seasons with the club. Some names were excellent throughout their careers before finishing with the Bombers; others found themselves with the Yankees earlier on and then moved on to do great […]
Meet the Mets The Mets announced the signing of MJ Melendez and moved Tylor Megill to the 60-day injured list to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. Carson Benge will be getting plenty of attention in spring training, as the right field job is his for the taking, and Will Sammon spoke to […]

SNY | Alex Smith: Cam Schlittler is dealing with inflammation in his mid-back, manager Aaron Boone told the press on Thursday. The issue is considered minor and, after taking a few days off the mound, the right-hander is expected to return to his throwing program. “Zero, I’d say,” Schlittler said with regard to his likelihood […]
The Miami Dolphins are still struggling to fill their quarterbacks coach position. They originally hired former Denver Broncos head coach and former New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathanial Hackett for the role, but he left within a week to be the offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. On Thursday night, they lost out on another […]
