Juan Soto was supposed to be the center of attention on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, not just for his high-profile return to Yankee Stadium, but also for his planned in-game interview.

But for now, New York […]

The New York Mets are in that gray area between trade deadline buyers and sellers, but leftfielder Brandon Nimmo thinks the team should look to add. He’s made sure to let Mets owner Steve Cohen know about it. “Any chance that I get, I kind of throw that in there,” Nimmo said in an interview […]
