In this age of unprecendent access, we should take inside info with a grain of salt
We are in the age of the easiest, most direct access we’ve ever seen. That goes triple for sports which can be a good thing. But we’ve gotten to the point where we have so much access that it’s begun to have the opposite effect and become negative in many situations. With all the information thrown ...

Yankees trade for outfielder — no, not that one
We all know the New York Yankees were in the market for a left fielder. But while linked to San Diego Padres slugger Juan Soto, the Bronx Bombers instead swung a trade with the rival Red Sox for Alex Verdugo — a right fielder. ...
If Anthony Rizzo played hockey they’d put him in the Hall of Fame
You’ve probably heard that Anthony Rizzo hasn’t been able to hit the baseball much farther than he can piss lately. Mostly because whatever the New York Yankees’ problems are becomes everyone else’s problem, given that most baseball media still think we give a shit what goes on in the Boogie Down. W...
This is why Roman Reigns can never be a face again
You know a WWE match is a big deal when it main events over the type of match the Premium Live Event is named for. You would almost never see either of the Royal Rumble matches not take the main spot on that show, and to a lesser extent the same goes for Money In The Bank. That the Bloodline match w...
Mets 3B Brett Baty is about to be the loneliest man in the world
Well, it was more than just Scott Boras using Jon Heyman as a puppet (though one suspects Boras enjoys doing that whenever he can, whether it’s a tactic or an actual leak or just a guy playing with his toys). Carlos Correa didn’t want anything to do with the Mets’ NFL contract offer after his origin...
Carlos Correa, or Scott Boras, goes for the hat trick
Why do the Carlos Correa rumors always come out late at night? What kind of hours does Scott Boras keep? I guess when you’re him you probably sleep pretty late. Or is he like Rob Lowe’s character in “Thank You For Smoking,” where he only sleeps on Sundays?...
Does Boston's Chris Sale still hold any trade value?
Boston ace Chris Sale is set to be 34 years old in 2023. He has a career 3.03 ERA and is the all-time leader in strikeouts per nine innings and strikeout-to-walk ratio. From 2013 to 2018, Sale never finished worse than fifth in AL Cy Young voting. He’s also pitched only 48.1 innings since the start ...
The road not taken: How Carlos Correa and other agreements voided or reversed have altered destinies
Days after agreeing to a 13-year, $350 million deal to serve as San Fran’s shortstop of the foreseeable future, former Astros SS, Carlos Correa regurgitated his Giants agreement and opted to occupy third base for the Mets for the next 12 years instead at a marked down $315 million rate. Correa’s abo...
Jon Heyman ruined several of my friendships
Being a San Francisco Giants fan is tough right now. Never mind that the team is likely not re-signing Carlos Rodón. Never mind that there’s no plan for the hole at first base. Right now, the biggest thing on every Giants fan’s mind — including my own — is how New York Post reporter Jon Heyman grant...
Aaron Judge to remain a Yankee
After a long night of negotiations, the biggest offseason domino fell early this morning as Aaron Judge, the AL MVP who gambled on himself this season and had a historic 2o22, has decided to return to the Yankees on a 9-year deal worth $360M, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The massive d...

Oh yeah, it’s Fat Bear Week!
Look, normally in this space in the a.m., I’d have to talk about Hockey Canada’s chair pulling a “Not All Men!” act in front of the Canadian parliament. Or a couple of owners in NWSL relinquishing “day-to-day” operations of their teams, but not selling their teams and disappearing into the cave wher...
60 is such a round number
It was a number we didn’t even think about when we were kids. Only if you were born in a specific time, where you were an impressionable youth between 1998-2003, would 60 seem reasonable, or even reachable, or something to be expected to happen semi-regularly. It was never even talked about....
Acknowledge him! No, not Roman Reigns — this guy
He’s professional wrestling’s rookie of the year. Logan Paul has shown an ability well beyond having his debut match only five months ago. He clearly has the work ethic to be a good wrestler, and Paul has the fan base on his own to make any WWE interaction newsworthy. To think the soon-to-be-officia...
Aaron Judge is the king, but not for the reasons some New York dips**t thinks
It’s going to be a month of this. Aaron Judge has 50+ homers by Sept. 1, one of the very few to accomplish said feat. And with all baseball records, there are going to be self-appointed gatekeepers who have decided it is their purpose to keep the hordes at bay from sullying something sacred. There i...
The Giants will be sellers at the trade deadline — here’s how they can improve
The Giants are in the middle of a skid, but according to reports, the team hadn’t planned to sell off their assets before the Aug. 2 trade deadline. That has since changed, according to John Heyman. ...
