Aaron Boone’s Yankees hope springs eternal but summer’s here: Sherman
NY Post
Aaron Boone promised the best is yet to come with the 2021 Yankees in April, then he did it in May and you really do have to like the manager’s consistency. We are in June and his team’s inconsistent play has yet to knock the optimism out of him.
The season is still young enough that Boone can vow better days ahead. If the schedule were a cross-country trip from New York, it would be roughly in St. Louis. Heck, the Yanks are playing the Red Sox for the first time this year this weekend. Yet the season is old enough that the Yankees’ pathologies are overt. So, unless they are about to get a lot more athletic, a lot higher in baseball IQ and a lot better hitting overall, especially from the left side, then Boone will be saying something like, “We are not where we need to be or where I think we will get” all the way through September and an early winter.
In the span of 48 hours this past weekend, Igor Shesterkin became both the highest-paid goaltender in NHL history and a father of two.
DALLAS — In the face of their biggest offseason loss in recent memory, the Yankees have no regrets.
TORONTO — The morning after Karl-Anthony Towns was traded from the only NBA team he’d ever known, the center received advice from a coach who was similarly managing the emotions of a high-profile job relocation.
Warning to all disgruntled Giants fans: This is not going to be a popular take.
The Giants lost another game and that is no longer news, although the specifics and particulars of this latest loss are specifically and particularly galling, as far as sameness and also innovativeness.
The Kraken were 0-3 at Madison Square Garden in the franchise’s three-year history, until they turned the game upside down in the second period Sunday afternoon.
DALLAS — Juan Soto is headed to the Mets on a record 15-year contract worth $765 million in a muscle flex that is sure to resonate throughout the game and beyond.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Garrett Wilson has now lost 10 games in each of his three seasons with the Jets — 7-10, 7-10, 3-10 (and counting).
Slow starts have plagued the Knicks in recent games, even at home, and constantly overcoming those early deficits is a lot to ask of any NBA team.
There is no security blanket for Sam Darnold — at least not yet.
The Rangers have made Igor Shesterkin’s extended New York stay official.
