Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced this morning that outfielder Mike Tauchman has a meniscus tear in his knee and will require surgery. That certainly takes the 35-year-old out of the equation for the Mets’ final decisions about their Opening Day roster, but assuming he stays with the organization, it is the sort of surgery that […]
Happy Sunday, folks. To put a cherry atop your weekend, the Knicks (46*-25) host the Wizards (16-53) tonight at Madison Square Garden. Washington just wants to end their miserable season, yet given how New York plays down to competition, a sixth consecutive win is not guaranteed. I mean, it’s like 95% guaranteed, but I’m supposed […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Almost got it. The Brooklyn Nets gave the New York Knicks all they could handle, but ultimately fell short by one point, 93-92. The losing streak is up to six. The opponent tonight is praying for some lottery luck. The Sacramento Kings have had a rough season but hope things turn around in the NBA […]
The 17-win Nets are up against the 18-win Kings in the ultimate tank-fest at 6 PM ET, which makes today’s games all that much more exciting. Sacramento is one game ahead of Brooklyn in the standings, so if the Nets pull this one out then they’ll be tied for the third-best odds at the No. […]
In this week’s Media Bytes, the message is clear: no free agency savior is coming—so the Rangers’ path forward runs through trades.
Meet the Mets The Mets have set their Opening Day rotation. We already knew that Freddy Peralta is slated to start on Opening Day, but he will be followed by David Peterson, Nolan McLean, Clay Holmes, and Kodai Senga in that order. Meanwhile, Sean Manaea, whose velocity has been down this spring, will be used […]

What’s This Team’s Deal? This team has won one World Series since the year 2000. I haven’t looked into what happened in the hundred years before that. In 2025, after winning a three-game Wild Card series against the Red Sox, New York went down to the Toronto Blue Jays 3-games-to-1, allowing 37 runs in those […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The early 1990s were a bit of a wasteland for the Yankees as a franchise. By winning percentage, the 1990 and ‘91 teams are two of the worst in franchise history, and they mostly continued the story of the 1980s, where the Yankees made the playoffs just once. By 1993, they began to show signs […]
The Browns hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their head coach this offseason, and he in turn brought several of his staffers to Cleveland. He was not, however, as aggressive in pursuing his former players in free agency, especially compared to John Harbaugh’s Giants. They already snapped up four ex-Ravens, though that has […]

The Yankees’ Opening Day roster became a lot clearer yesterday, as the team made it official that Randal Grichuk would be traveling to San Francisco and Oswaldo Cabrera will begin the year in the minor leagues. They made a few other cuts to the roster, trimming down more of the infield depth options, and now […]
Associated Press: The Yankees took a giant step into finalizing their roster on Saturday, letting outfielder Randal Grichuk know that he made the team despite a .308 spring OPS (no, not OBP) in limited action. His ability to mash lefties (career 118 wRC+ vs. LHP) ended up earning him a place. It was a busy […]
After the crushing loss to the Ottawa Senators where they got dominated after an early goal in the third period, the New York Islanders followed that up with a crushing loss to the Montreal Canadiens where they got dominated after an early goal in the third period. For a team that’s thrived all year on […]
First period An energetic start from the top line and top defence pair starts the game off in the offensive zone. A good scoring chance for Alex Newhook follows it up. Kaiden Guhle erases an attempt by the Islanders to get set up by tossing Anthony Duclair to the boards with a big hit. The third line comes down for its chance on Ilya Sorokin. Line number four keeps the pressure on, and that leads to a Casey Cizikas slashing penalty as he whacks Brendan Gallagher. ...
Eleven games remain on the regular season slate for our heroes. If they hope to leapfrog Boston for the second seed, New York needs to win at least those games in which they are favored. This week offers the Knicks three chances to stack wins against weaker opponents. The last game in this batch will […]
Although arguably the team’s three best prospects were not apart of the roster, the Atlanta Braves top prospects completed the third season of the Spring Breakout Series with an 8-3 win over the Yankees prospects on Saturday night, going up early and leading almost the whole way. Even with Didier Fuentes, JR Ritchie, and Cam […]
Braves infielder Tate Southisene’s 105.7-mph single to start off the evening was a precursor of what was in store for Kyle Carr and the Yankees. It was a pretty underwhelming performance for the New York prospects, dropping the Spring Breakout game by a final score of 8-3. For the first two innings, Carr found a […]
Seattle Kraken forward Shane Wright created plenty of chatter as a trade candidate leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. The Kraken ended up not moving him, but it would not be surprising if teams pursued him during the summer as well. Because of this, let's look at three potential offseason trade destinations for Wright if the Kraken make him available this summer. New York Rangers The Rangers were connected to Wright leading up to the deadline, and it is not difficult to understan...

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced that outfielder Mike Tauchman is set to undergo an MRI for a knee issue that he experienced in the team’s split-squad spring training game against the Astros this afternoon.
