The Jets might've uncovered an undrafted running back gem

2 days ago | empiresportsmedia.com | Alexander D. M. Wilson

Sometimes, it’s the quiet moves after the big headlines that end up paying off the most. While the New York Jets made their share of bold selections during the 2025 NFL Draft, they might’ve uncovered one of their more exciting weapons once the dust settled. Undrafted Michigan running back Donovan Edwards didn’t arrive with fanfare—but he’s already making noise. On paper, Edwards’ 2024 season doesn’t jump off the page.
The Yankees discovered a power-menace at the leadoff spot

Some lineups thrive on tradition. Others are built on chaos, matchup hunting, and strategic flexibility. Right now, the Yankees are leaning into the latter. They don’t have a prototypical leadoff hitter, and they’re not pretending to. But somehow, their rotating platoon at the top has unlocked a new level of offensive firepower—especially from one unexpected source.
The Jets drafted a 'nasty' new offensive cornerstone

Sometimes, you don’t need a full game to see it—you just need a few snaps, a few steps, and the way a player carries himself. That’s what the New York Jets got when Armand Membou hit the field at rookie minicamp. From the moment he stepped into drills, the tone felt different. They didn’t just draft a tackle—they drafted a tone-setter. At 21 years old, Membou already plays with the poise and polish of someone five years older.

There are hot streaks in baseball, and then there’s what Yankees‘ Aaron Judge is doing right now—it’s like watching a cheat code in real time. Every swing carries the threat of thunder. Every plate appearance feels like a moment you’ll want to remember. For the Yankees, this isn’t just MVP-level production. It’s historic, and it’s powering one of the best offenses in the game. Judge isn’t just leading the Yankees—he’s redefining what offensive output looks like at the major league level.
Yankees facing real concern as injured pitcher remains nowhere near a return

Some injuries hurt more than others—but in rare cases, the silver lining becomes clear before the player even returns. That’s exactly where the New York Yankees are with Marcus Stroman. While fans await his comeback, the organization might be quietly fine with how things are playing out—and it’s not hard to understand why. Stroman, 34, has been dealing with knee discomfort in his left leg since early this season.
Giants could trade quarterback at deadline to recoup draft capital

It’s amazing how quickly things can change in the NFL. Just a season ago, the New York Giants had one of the thinnest quarterback rooms in football—now, they might be one of the most flexible. With a trio of experienced and promising arms, the Giants may have accidentally stumbled into a rare opportunity: a quarterback surplus. The Giants kicked off the offseason with a bold decision to bring in Russell Wilson, a proven veteran with a Super Bowl ring.
The Mets have turned one of the league's worst starters into an absolute gem

Sometimes in baseball, a small bet pays off bigger than anyone imagined. That’s exactly what’s happening with the New York Mets and Griffin Canning—a pitcher who entered 2025 with little fanfare and even less expectation, but now looks like one of the team’s most reliable starters. He’s not just surviving—he’s thriving. Canning was far from dominant in 2024. Pitching for the Los Angeles Angels, he finished with a 5.19 ERA across 171.2 innings, looking every bit like a back-end arm.
Jets are shifting their entire identity-and it starts with a different kind of energy

2 days ago | empiresportsmedia.com | Alexander D. M. Wilson

Sometimes the biggest changes don’t show up on a depth chart—they show up in attitude, effort, and the way players walk into practice. That’s exactly what’s happening with the New York Jets under new head coach Aaron Glenn. After years of disappointment, inconsistency, and offensive letdowns, the Jets are finally starting to feel different. And it’s not just talk—it’s in the way they work. Glenn isn’t easing into his first season at the helm.
Yankees’ former top prospect is finally breaking out - and it’s starting to look real

2 days ago | empiresportsmedia.com | Alexander D. M. Wilson

There’s a different kind of silence when a prospect doesn’t meet expectations. Not boos or jeers—just the quiet ticking of the clock as a fanbase waits for something to click. That’s what it’s felt like with the New York Yankees and Jasson Dominguez. But now, the ticking’s stopped—and the bat is speaking loud and clear. After months of whispers about underwhelming production and overhype, Dominguez is finally flipping the script in the Bronx.
Mets face a growing infield puzzle - one struggling defender is heating up fast

3 days ago | empiresportsmedia.com | Alexander D. M. Wilson

Some position battles resolve themselves. Others grow more complicated with every game, especially when one struggling bat starts to show signs of life. That’s the situation the New York Mets are facing at third base, where clarity has remained elusive—but opportunity keeps knocking. They’ve been searching for a long-term answer at the hot corner, and while the defense hasn’t stabilized, a once-cold bat is starting to warm.
