Juan Soto's bat speed decline threatens Mets' $765 million investment
Juan Soto's bat has slowed by 2.4 mph this season, and that seemingly small number is threatening to turn the Mets' $765 million investment into baseball's most expensive disappointment.

We're just under five minutes from the start of the second half in Charlotte. Nashville leads FC 1-0. SC has been the more physical team and has five shots on goal, while Charlotte is still searching for their first attempt. #ForTheCrown

Baltimore has flat-out botched its prep for 2025. If you polled 10 fans, I guarantee all 10 would give Elias an F for this offseason. So I broke down exactly why the frustration is justified in my latest for Yardbarker.

It’s official: As I suspected while writing today’s column, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will undergo Tommy John surgery tomorrow, sidelining him for 2025.
For Yardbarker, I reflected on the sadness of a great pitcher’s career potentially being defined by injury and missed opportunity.

In Culture of Excellence, I explore how the Yankees once spiraled under George Steinbrenner’s chaotic leadership. Constant drama, power struggles, and bad trades turned the team into a mess.

No Title? No Problem. You Can Still Lead.
The best leaders don’t wait for a title—they step up when it matters. The Yankees thrived for years without an official captain because leadership was never about one person. It was about those who showed up, set the standard, and pushed the team forward.
