Kodai Senga was a prized free agent signing when acquired by the New York Mets in the 2022 offseason. Now, with three years under his belt in the majors, Senga has pitched to a flat 3.00 ERA in 285 innings. Despite Senga’s great production, one undeniable factor is that he simply cannot stay healthy. Senga’s time on the injured list has limited him to just 52 starts, with just one start in 2024 making up his entire season of 5.1 innings. With Senga’s health woes and frankly i

Thanksgiving is around the corner as we get ready to gather with our family and even some friends to feast and gain another pound or two…or three or four. No matter what you’re eating this Thanksgiving, there will be talking points and with that it is important to keep the conversations civil and non-controversal. Right? WRONG. With that said, here are five very risky and controversial talking topics to bring up this turkey day. The 2025 New York Yankees Collapse  What’s wors

Tom Brady dominated every team throughout his multi-decade hall of fame career, so obviously the New York Jets were no exception. Brady had a 31-8 record against the Jets throughout combined regular season and playoff matchups. Brady retired after the 2022 season. Since Brady’s retirement the Jets have played in 45 games (as of Week 13 of the 2025/26 season). Despite the Jets playing in nearly 50 games since Brady’s retirement, they are still out-winned by him 32-to-27 since

After a 4-11 start to the season, LaMelo Ball has reportedly grown increasingly frustrated with the Charlotte Hornets organization. The Hornets currently stand 12th in the Eastern Conference, nine games back on the leading 13-2 Pistons. Ball’s frustration is reportedly so deep with Charlotte that he is open to being traded away from the team that drafted him. In nine games this season, Ball is averaging 21.6 points-per-game. Overall though despite his point production this se

I think it is safe to say that it is over for Damar Hamlin in both Buffalo and possibly even for his pro football career. The 6-foot-standing safety has only appeared in five games this season and is set for free agency at the end of it. Before the 2025 preseason kicked off, Buffalo re-signed Hamlin on a one-year, $2M contract, after coming off of what was a career-high season. 2024/25 saw Hamlin notch two interceptions in 14 games started and played in 874 snaps.

The New York Mets have released Frankie Montas to clear space on their 40-man. Montas was entering the final year of what was a two-year deal when DFA’d by New York. Montas battled with injury all season long and eventually had it prematurely ended in August with a UCL injury. The injury, which led to elbow surgery, will sideline the 32-year-old for 2026. So the Mets releasing him to open up room on their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft makes perfect sense. In seven s

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 TDA Baseball . 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 appearances throughout 112 games. The low

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.
