Being a Mets fan must be exhausting. Being of New York is a status symbol, which carries privilege but also responsibility. The Mets are expected to win! And short of that, they’re expected to do everything they can to win. And if they don’t, there’s no choice as a fan but to be miserable. Plenty […]
Last year, the Yankees dealt two legitimately interesting prospects, Roc Riggio and Ben Shields, to get reliever Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies at the Trade Deadline. Their experiment wasn’t successful, at least in 2025, as he posted a 27.00 ERA in a couple of innings with the team before being optioned to Triple-A, where […]
For many years, fans of Midwest and northeast teams wondered why MLB didn’t schedule most early series in warmer weather. Now, for two seasons they’ve made it happen. Just like the 2025 season, when they opened against the Dodgers and the Mariners on the road, the Tigers opening road trip has ended with a 2-4 […]
With the initial wave of free agency mostly come and gone, it’s officially draft month as we enter April. While the Jets did an admirable job addressing certain needs over the past month, one major need is still very much staring you in the face when looking at this roster: Wide Receiver. Looking at the […]
Last week, the Yankees’ minor-league season officially began in Buffalo, where the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders opened their season with a shutout victory over the Bisons. The RailRiders will be priority viewing all season for those who like to keep up with the minor leagues for multiple reasons. But there are still intriguing prospects that aren’t […]
Nashville Predators forward Steven Stamkos was a popular name in the rumor mill leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. The 36-year-old forward generated interest, but Nashville, of course, chose to keep him around. However, with the Predators in a retool, Stamkos will be a trade candidate to watch during the summer. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Stamkos this offseason if he is made available. New Jersey Devils It has been an incredibly di...
The Brooklyn Nets are signing 6’8” Long Island Nets forward Trevon Scott to a 10-day contract. With 10 days left in the season, the contract is likely to carry the 29-year-old through the end of the NBA season. The Long Island Nets concluded their season last night in the opening game of the G League […]
The New York Rangers traded away several players during the 2025-26 season to kick off their retool. Artemi Panarin, Carson Soucy, Sam Carrick, and Brennan Othmann were all dealt by the Rangers this campaign. With the Rangers retooling, it would not be shocking if more of their players get traded this summer. Zibanejad could be a trade candidate to watch, as it is no secret that the Rangers want to get younger. If the 32-year-old center ends up being willing to waive his no-movement clau...
It’s hard to make your mark on a franchise in a single season. Juan Soto is one of the Yankees’ most prominent one-and-done players, finishing third in 2024 AL MVP voting and helping lead his team to the pennant in his sole year in pinstripes, but he’s a notable exception. Jon Lieber spent 14 years […]
2025 First Half Record: 34-31 (1/4, Florida State League East Division) 2025 Second Half Record: 43-22 (1/4 Florida State League East Division) Over the last few years, the St. Lucie Mets weren’t a particularly great team. That changed last season, as the team won the Florida State League East Division with a not-exactly-dominant 34-31 record, […]
In the run-up to the draft, we’ll be breaking down all of the players added by the Jets during free agency and in the legal tampering window. We continue today with edge defender Kingsley Enagbare. The 26-year old Enagbare is listed at 6’4” and 258 pounds and was a fifth round pick out of South […]
It has not been a storybook season for the Houston Rockets, but the suggestion that it’s been a disaster is an overcorrection. Guilty as charged. I’ve contributed my share of both gloom and doom. On the heels of a four-game winning streak (including a signature win over the Knicks last night), life feels a little […]
Who would have thought the Knicks would beat the Grizz… on the road, not least! Get-right game got New York on the right path again as the Knickerbockers are one win away from reaching 50 dubs for the third consecutive season. Two more wins, and Coach Brown would match Thibs’ best record in just his […]
The Yankees wrapped up their second series of the year with another win, besting the Mariners 5-3 on the backs of another dominant Cam Schlittler start and some bombs from Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice. The rotation continues to put up zeroes, and Schlittler is making history with how few baserunners he’s allowed while striking […]
Coming off a disappointing series in St. Louis that saw them win just one of three games against a rebuilding team, the Mets (3-3) are set to visit AI Layoffs Park for a four-game series with the similarly struggling Giants (2-4). After scoring eleven runs on Opening Day in a game that saw them knock […]
Annoying wins, Othmann discourse, and a deep dive with Scott Wheeler on what the Rangers actually have—and don’t.
The Rangers once had fewer shots than individual players do in a single game. Charlie has the receipts in this week's Ombudsman Report.
With another crucial game Thursday against Detroit, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves on the outside looking in, but nearing the doorstep. A victory against the Red Wings and that pushes them to 88 points. Should they have any semblance of good fortune they had Tuesday night concerning the other four teams in the hunt (Islanders, Columbus, Ottawa, and Detroit) losing, it could put them into a playoff spot.
That’s the smaller picture. Others might see this upcoming three-in-four as t...
Meet the Mets One day after getting shut out, the Mets could only muster one run in the finale to drop the series against the Cardinals. All their offense came off a solo home run by Juan Soto that followed Francisco Lindor getting picked off. They still had a chance to redeem themselves in both […]
The Yankees’ pitching staff as a whole has been magnificent, allowing six runs across their first six games and tallying three shutouts in the first five. Max Fried has been at the forefront of this staff-wide domination, not allowing a run across his first two starts and 13.1 innings. His second start of the year […]
Mets 4, Mud Hens 2 (box) So far, the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate has mirrored the big league club to a degree. Wenceel Pérez has the sole home run through five games. Of course that’s a lot more understandable when you’re playing in upstate New York this time of year. On the pitching side, the bullpen […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Matchup: New Jersey Devils (38-34-2) @ Washington Capitals (38-28-9) The Time: 7:30pm ET The Broadcast: Hulu, ESPN+, Devils Hockey Radio Network Last Devils Game A dismal 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers at MSG on Tuesday. Connor Brown was the long goal-scorer, while Jacob Markstrom played poorly and then delivered the most notable part of the night: […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (3-2) SYRACUSE 4, TOLEDO 2 (BOX) Jack Wenninger made the first Triple-A start of his career, and things went very well, as he didn’t lalow any runs, struck out five, walked one, and gave up five hits in four-and-two-thirds innings. Joey Gerber was the only Syracuse pitcher to give up any runs […]
