Probably the most perplexing move the Yankees made this offseason was the re-signing of Paul Goldschmidt. After a hot start to last year — especially against lefties — he fell away towards the back half of the season. Plus with the emergence of Ben Rice as a legitimate hitter, it seemed like the Yankees didn’t […]
Within the Nets’ organization, player development is a priority. When you’re rebuilding, it has to be. That’s a given. But it’s not just about the obvious development track. Whether a rookie or veteran enters the building, growth is prioritized — especially from within. While the focus is rightly on the Flatbush Five, the Long Island […]
The top Jets player hitting free agency is running back Breece Hall. His future with the team is up in the air. At his press conference during the NFL Scouting Combine, Mougey reportedly suggested that the Jets intend to keep Hall. The team will pursue a long-term extension before the start of free agency. If […]
The Las Vegas Raiders will likely either trade or release quarterback Geno Smith in the coming weeks. Here are some teams he could possibly end up with. Arizona Cardinals: The Cardinals are expected to either cut or trade Kyler Murray and likely go with Jacoby Brissett. Perhaps Smith could be brought in as competition for […]
Last year, the Yankees were ousted by the Blue Jays in the ALDS, after having finished second behind them in the AL East on tiebreakers alone. You’d hope that this season they have some revenge on their minds when it comes to Toronto. They probably don’t need to go all out to show it today, […]
Back home to a snowstorm! The Brooklyn Nets wrapped up their three game road trip with an afternoon affair against the Atlanta Hawks. Brooklyn had a lead for much of the game, but the Hawks closed the game on a 24-2 run to hand the Nets their fourth consecutive loss. Brooklyn leaves the road and […]
Are the Philadelphia Eagles going to trade Tanner McKee this offseason? It seems like the backup quarterback to Jalen Hurts could generate some interest from other teams. McKee is on the New York Jets’ radar, according to a report from Tony Pauline (bold emphasis mine): After last year’s failure at quarterback, the Jets are once […]

One of the calling cards of the David Stearns era has been a glut of relievers brought it, called up, sent down, designated for assignment, released, waived, purchased, or otherwise moved around the fringes of the Mets’ organization. While for some folks, myself included, the constant churn can seem like rearranging deck chairs on the […]
If you like to have fun watching baseball, you should make a point to see some games that feature Chris Suero this year. Born in The Bronx in 2004, Suero joined the Mets as an international free agent after moving to his parents’ native Dominican Republic, and he got his professional career started as he […]
The Knicks are a good team. They may not always look or play like it. But they are. At 37-21, they have a top-five record in the league, have a top-three offense, a defense that has been on the cusp of being top 10 in defensive rating, and remain top five in net rating as […]
Over the last few months, we’ve been taking an in-depth look at some of the late season signings who are under contract for 2026, and futures signings after the end of the season. We continue today with defensive tackle Jack Heflin, who signed a futures deal a few weeks ago. The 27-year old Heflin is […]
There are very few people who walk planet Earth who can say they played on the best baseball team in history. So, for those who were able to appear on the 1998 Yankees team, they can take pride in having been a part of arguably the greatest squad MLB has ever seen. Not only did […]
The first Devils prospect to 20 goals this season is David Rozsival. Let’s talk about him. First to 20 Goals After a slow start, winger David Rozsival has been explosive in the past thirty or so games, totaling 20 goals and 11 assists in 44 contests this season. It’s been a serious rise up the […]
I’m going to post this early because I have to run out this morning, but I should be back about game time. We have an early start time: 1:00 pm Eastern. The Jays are making the stressful bus ride from Dunedin to Tampa Bay to play the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field. I found the worst […]
Third base prospect Jacob Reimer will spend some time in camp this year as a non-roster invitee. Reimer enjoyed a breakout 2025 season where he hit .282/.379/.491 with 17 home runs and 77 RBIs split between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton. His success saw him rise up the prospect rankings, with Amazin’ Avenue rank him […]
At some point Aaron Judge’s baseline will not be “the best or second best player in the sport”. For at least one more year though, he’s expected to be the game’s best hitter, projected for more than a half-win better than poor Bobby Witt Jr. We’re witnessing perhaps the greatest right-handed hitter of all time, […]
Meet the Mets The Mets topped the defending American League Champion Blue Jays 4-3 to earn their second spring win. Newcomer Tobias Myers earned the win in his first outing with the club after pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Vidal Bruján did leave the game with an injury after stealing second base. Clay Holmes, who […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a big challenge in front of them tonight. They’ll be hosting the New York Knicks in what could be a potential NBA Playoffs preview between two Eastern Conference contenders. This is the second challenge Cleveland has faced this week. On Sunday, they lost to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. New […]
Tonight, New York Knicks (37*-21) take on Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-22) at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. A win would give the third-place Knicks some breathing room over the fourth-place Cavaliers, but that’s easier said than done. Despite their recent loss to the Thunder, the Ohio Players have been on a tear of […]
This post is part of a series of daily questions that we’ll ask the community here at Amazin’ Avenue throughout the month of February. We hope you find the questions engaging and that our prompts can spark some fun conversations in the comments. We’ll see you there and plan to have staff chiming in, too. […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The NFL scouting combine drills will take place later this week. Interviews and measurements are already underway. This should be an interesting week as we get to see most of the top prospects together on the same field completing the same drills. Plenty of future Jets will be on display. […]
After adding Devin Williams last offseason, the Yankees had to feel confident about the state of their bullpen. Williams, perhaps the best reliever in the world, was joining a group that finished sixth in ERA the year prior, and now had a fearsome duo at the backend in the form of Williams and incumbent closer […]
Tuesday will be the final day of the NHL’s Olympic break, with the 2025-26 season starting back up on Wednesday with eight games on the schedule. It will be a slightly longer wait for the Pittsburgh Penguins who return to action on Thursday against gold medal hero Jack Hughes and the New Jersey Devils at […]
