Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
Joe Tsai is not reluctant to talk about his ambitions for the Brooklyn Nets in China. At a little-noticed seminar during the NBA China Games in October, the Nets owner made that clear. As the Macao News reported at the time, Tsai always wanted to make Brooklyn “China’s team.” So far so good. the Nets […]
It doesn’t take a Nobel Prize to be able to deduce that the MLB offseason has the slowest and most brutal pace in all of professional sports. The NBA and NHL have their drafts take place in late June after the conclusion of the postseason, and free agency begins on July 1st. It takes under […]
We’re 10 days away from the Tatsuya Imai posting expiring, and not really much closer to knowing with much confidence (1) the teams seriously making a real push, or (2) the expected price tag. As we saw two years ago with Shota Imanaga (and recently with Munetaka Murakami), the markets for Japanese stars is notoriously difficult to project, and the rumor mill is far more mum than for domestic free agents. It’s just the way these things always go. That said, there are some interesting bits...
This is a big development for those who want the Las Vegas Raiders to wave the white flag and tank for the No. 1 pick. Wednesday, four days before the Raiders host the fellow 2-13 New York Giants in a game that will have a major impact on determining the No. 1 overall draft pick […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 draft class fared in a 23-21 loss at the Houston Texans on Sunday and ahead to Week 17’s home game against the New York Giants. Brock Bowers: The first-round pick had five catches for 33 yards. He has just 61 receiving yards in the […]
As we continue to roll through this “50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings” series, the majority of the signings we cover are positive, or at least have something positive to add to Yankees history. “Notable,” however, is not an inherently positive descriptor, made clear by our inclusion of Ed Whitson in this series. A […]
It’s been an up-and-down journey for Tyler Kolek since the Knicks drafted him 34th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. Despite flashes during his rookie season, the 2023 Big East Player of the Year was largely stuck riding the pine with Tom Thibodeau at the helm. He appeared in 41 games, but only played a […]
In this four-part series, we look back on the minor leaguers that the Mets released or traded over 2025. Today, we focus on the outfielders. 01/17/25: Syracuse Mets released OF Edward Olivares. 02/01/25: DSL Mets Orange released OF Enderson Asencio. • Asencio was signed by the organization in January 15, 2023 for $75,000, and thanks […]
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, we begin by discussing the Jeff McNeil trade, which feels like the completion of the “blowing up” of […]
The Rangers were barely awake early, unstoppable late, and somehow walked away with a win—consider it a very on-brand holiday miracle.
The Nashville Predators are headed for a fire sale this season and GM Barry Trotz is going to have to approach veteran Steven Stamkos on where he'd like his next chapter of his hockey career to be. The Preds are slowly creeping down the standings in the Western Conference, and Trotz is going to have no choice but to make a few moves. Stamkos started slow this year but has turned it on of late. He enters the Christmas break with 15 goals and 22 points in 36 games this season, and is playing 17:...
Win the NBA Cup now, deal with schedule losses later. That’s where the New York Knicks are at, right? Here’s a bunch of what we heard from the protagonists of yesterday’s affair. Mike Brown On the need for Towns to stop making dumb fouls: “With KAT, obviously, he can score. He had 40 tonight. I […]
As Jeff McNeil’s name was bandied about in trade talks throughout November and December, the idea of him being the A’s target for 2B drew mixed reviews on AN. Certainly there are reasons for being measured in one’s enthusiasm: Turning 34 on April 8th, McNeil cannot boast that he has been a recent visitor to […]
Over the next week or so, expect the various nations participating in the 2026 Olympic games to announce their rosters for the men’s hockey tournament. It’s tough to click around wherever you consume your hockey media, whether its YouTube, The Athletic, Twitter, ESPN, NHL.com, or wherever it is and not see projected rosters from various […]
Meet the Mets The Mets signed right-handed pitcher Tyler Burch to a two-year minor league contract. Burch is recovering from elbow surgery but will be ready to pitch this season.

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
On Monday night, the Seattle Mariners announced that they had signed outfielder Rob Refsnyder to a one-year, $6.25 million contract, for what will be the 11th season of his big-league career. As a former Yankees farmhand, Refsnyder remains a familiar name to a certain generation of Yankee fans. He struggled during the early part of […]
Good morning and happy holidays. Ho ho ho.
Here are your links for today: Devils Links A back-breaking, late third-period goal for the Islanders and another rough offensive night for the Devils led to a 2-1 New Jersey loss. This isn’t fun. [Devils NHL] “Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier aren’t scoring enough goals, and it’s causing the New Jersey Devils’ offense to sputter.” […]
Some things have changed since the New England Patriots faced the New York Jets in November. Most things, personnel-wise, have stayed the same. Between the active rosters, practice squads and reserve lists, eight players currently in the fold have spent time with both AFC East clubs during their NFL careers. Here’s a run through the […]
The New York Jets have placed quarterback Justin Fields on season ending injured reserve. In all likelihood this ends Fields’ time with the Jets. He will almost certainly be cut in the offseason, ending another sorry chapter in the seemingly infinite hit parade of failed Jets quarterbacks. Fields will move on and try to rebuild […]
The date is December 24th. Unless you are the world’s biggest Cade Winquest fan (and bless you if you are), the Yankees have yet to bring in any no-doubt major leaguers. That’s a choice! There is time to remedy this but … yeah. Enjoy your Christmas Eves, anyway. Today on the site, Nolan will use […]

The Islanders and Devils entered the Christmas break with a tight, cagey match that Adam Pelech tipped in the Isles’ favor with a tiebreaking goal with 1:15 left in regulation. There were no penalties as the refs put their whistles away, which may have favored the Islanders at the pivotal moment: on another night, you […]
