Jonathan Quick had a mammoth workload Sunday night as New York took on Detroit for some Rangers v Red Wings hockey. Both teams came onto the ice seeking win 11 of their respective seasons, and for Detroit the win-loss column shifted in the win slot for them. A close 2-1 win for the Red Wings saw the Rangers defense sweating by game’s end. 2-1 is as close as it can get with that critical one-point difference as the Red Wings broke a 1-1 tie in the third and held on for the win

As seen in the TDA Baseball September 4th, 2025, article. See the original article here. Every year we hear about a player winning the World Series with a team that they only played a handful of games with. But out of all those champions, there is one name that stands out: Terrance Gore. Gore is retired from professional baseball at 34-years-old, but is a two-time World Series champion. Last appearing in 2022, the former 20th rounder from 2011 only recorded 85 plate appearanc

George Lombard Jr., is a top prospect in the New York Yankees organization. He has such hype and heavy media coverage around him you can comfortably argue the fact he is a household name at only 20-years-old. Lombard won’t be of drinking age till mid season of 2026, but the main question is where will he be drinking that victory champagne? New York has loaded minor league teams from Single-A to Triple, with Lombard listed as their No.1 prospect. The shortstop finished 2025 wi

One of the first moves this offseason for the Mets has them once again looking at players from their cross-state rivals. The New York Mets have signed Jose Rojas to a minor league contract with an expected invite to spring training. Rojas, 32, is coming off of a 2025 season where he belted 32 home runs and dominated Triple-AAA SWB for the Yankees. A .287 batting average with an OPS that nearly hit 1.000 on the season gave Rojas one of the best campaigns of his professional ba

A short, quick but very painful firesale by the New York Jets prior to yesterday’s trade deadline saw two of the biggest faces on defense get new teams. Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams to pick up three first round picks and one second round selection. Gardner, who has been a lockdown CB1 since entering the league, signed a four-year, $120.4 million dollar contract which included a $13.8 million signing bonus over the most recent offseason. A player in New York’s long-term

The New York Yankees have had a flurry of pitchers make one-off appearances over the years. The Cuban right-hander of Chi Chi Gonzalez is no exception. In 2022 Gonzalez, whose real name is Alexander Rios Gonzalez, signed a minor league deal with New York after being released by the Tigers in late August of 2022. Gonzalez would spend roughly a month in Triple-AAA SWB before getting called-up to the majors on October 2nd. This late-season roster move gave Chi Chi major league s

A .500% Knicks team heads to the windy city to take on the undefeated Bulls tonight for a game with double meaning. This is not just both team’s fifth game of the brand new season, it is also the first group game that the Knicks face. New York started the season off with two-straight wins against Cleveland and Boston, before falling in their last two. The Knicks come into Chi-town as the moneyline favorites for this Halloween night matchup. Overall, New York may get big man M

Jonah Tong got a taste of the major league lights as a late-season call-up to help support the Mets crippled and inconsistent pitching staff. Tong, a top three prospect and draftee of the Mets organization in 2022, would ultimately struggle at the big league level after sheer dominance in the minors. 2025 would see a combined ERA of 1.43 in 22 starts between Double and Triple-A before being called up for his major league debut. Tong was undoubtedly rushed to the majors, and i

Cam Skattebo underwent surgery in Philadelphia last night to repair what was labeled as a dislocated ankle. The promising Giants rookie runner’s season has now come to an end after Week 8. Skattebo, a legitimate contender for rookie of the year honors, has been a fan favorite and a significant factor to Big Blue’s offense. The 2025 fourth rounder has totaled 410 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns on 101 carries, while also tallying 24 receptions for 207 yards and 2 touchdowns. Lo

Wearing the pinstripes that is the New York Yankees uniform is something that is taken with pride and honor when a player buttons up the historic jersey. When it comes to notable Yankees you think of Jeter, Ruth, Mantle and A-Rod as a few of many. There have been many players that were expected to become big when they arrived in New York, as a product of the Yank’s farm system. Some did become what they were expected to be like Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres. Then you have a

Tonight is the night everyone has been waiting for since the ECF. It is the opening night tipoff for the New York Knicks.  New York faces Cleveland at 7:00 p.m at MSG, looking to begin their season on a high note. Unfortunately for several Knicks’ their first game will have to wait as this may be an early silver lining for New York. Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable, OG Anunoby is listed as probable and both Josh Hart and big man Mitchell Robinson are out for tonight’s seaso

Congratulations to the New York Rangers for finally scoring a home goal. Unfortunately, they were only able to score one when the team needed at least four.  Artemi Panarin was the one who ended the home scoring drought at the most famous arena in the world. The goal came after 180:57 of shutout hockey through three home games. Panarin’s goal came just 57 seconds into the first period. The Rangers became the first team in NHL history to put up donuts in their first-three home

Forget 'welcome to the NFL moment,' Jaxson Dart has gotten a face full of 'welcome to the New York Giants' moments. A 33 point fourth quarter was the embarrassing demise for the New York Giants Sunday. A good performance by Jaxson Dart is now overshadowed by his late interception and the downfall for New York’s defense as the Giants are now 2-5. The Giants offense was great as a whole, scoring in every quarter. It was the defense that faulted heavily. After three shutout quar

Buffalo has once again dug themselves a hole early in the season. A 1-3-0 start puts the Sabres with just 2 points and last place in the Atlantic Division. A total of 6 points back from Montreal, the Sabres won on Wednesday against the Senators to get their first points in the standings. Despite Buffalo taking down Ottawa, a team ahead of them in the division, doesn’t quite mean that things will trend upward. Even with the fact Buffalo had an offensive explosion with 8 goals.

What will come first: The New York Jets winning a football game or the New York Rangers scoring a home goal? As of now the answer is neither.  The New York Rangers 2-0 shutout by the Oilers, saw not only the Blueshirts drop to 2-3-0 but the team surpassed the 2001/02 Florida Panthers for the longest streak to open a season without a goal on home ice. The Rangers last home goal came on the regular season finale back on April 17th, which was scored by Mika Zibanejad. New York w

New York has 11 total contracts that expire after the 2025 season between UFA’s and players that carry a ‘26 option The biggest question features the Yankees outfield, which is crowded so far this season with Judge-Bellinger-Domingue
