@pamsson No way. A lot of clubhouse disfunction going on in Queens and I believe he’s part of the reason.

If the Yankees had a chance to get Lindor, I would be all over that move. His year is mostly attributed to injuries and the complete mess surrounding that team. They’re going to need an infielder in the future if they move on from Jazz. I’m not sure the Yankees get that chance.

@duckisgod @snyyankees I get where you’re coming from but as soon as a young player has success it’s a matter of time before they get traded or they leave in free agency. Most teams can’t compete with the big market teams.
English
@adimaggi @snyyankees They’re still making most of the profit. A salary cap just restricts pay from the players so the billionaires can have an actual excuse for not spending.
English
Cody Bellinger on a possible MLB salary cap:
"If the billionaires are wanting it, they're billionaires for a reason. They want to continue to enhance their portfolio as much as possible. Us players understand that. So the answer to your question is, no good."

@BeckBronson62 That shit anthem of invading and bombing country to have a chip on your shoulder! Murderers!

US again with their main character syndrome. Since when do we sing the host nations national anthem when they not featuring in the final?

🚨🚨| OFFICIAL: FIFA have 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃 that Jennifer Hudson will perform the United States national anthem ahead of the World Cup Final. 🎤🇺🇸

@ObeanzCards @adimaggi @snyyankees Equally true that the owners are the ones that create/maintain the industry for them to sell their labor. They need each other, but both sides are trying to maximize their earnings, standard practice in labor negotiations.
English
@duckisgod @snyyankees No doubt, they should be fairly compensated. However, the owner made the investment in the team. The owner took the risk therefore they make most of the profit.
English
@adimaggi @snyyankees The players are THE REASON the owners make any money to begin with. Without them, they own an empty baseball stadium. The players are the product, and should fairly reap the rewards.

@octoberstanton A moment of insanity. He’s probably asking himself the same thing.

What the fuck was in his mind the day he signed with the Mets

@PaulSpacey If Messi was born in the U.S there is a good chance that his dad would’ve pushed him in a direction. Look at Odell Beckham. He could’ve played soccer on the 13 USMT but choose the NFl because it’s more popular and he didn’t want to move to Europe.
English
Messi has shorter limbs and would have ended up around 4’7” in height if he didn’t get injections at Barca as a kid.
And people keep talking about “we just need our best athletes to choose soccer over NFL.”
English
@PaulSpacey Messi can accelerate from a dead stop to 31.38 km/h in just 2.73 seconds, making his short-area burst the fastest recorded in professional football. He is a great athlete. And on top of that his dad got him into at an early age.

@shegone03 @MLB Cam is currently on pace to pitch 200 innings for the season, well above the 149.2 innings he pitched across all levels in 2024. I don’t blame him for wanted to protect himself.
English
As a former @MLB player I must say that making the All Star team would have meant the world to me!
It would have meant that all the hard work I put in had paid off!
When I see current MLB players just brushing off the honor I can’t help but wonder why.
I believe that if you are chosen an All Star you are obligated to represent your team and your league!
It used to be considered an honor!

@YankeesMIKE2408 @DanClarkSports Ok, I love the response from people who like to criticize from their phones but probably never played. I can understand wanting him to locate the ball or the right fielder but checking on the 2nd baseman. That’s a new one.
English
@adimaggi @DanClarkSports You now are a clown. 🤡
He didn't check if the 2nd baseman was backing up during the play, which he was and that is why Volpe was thrown out.
He saw the ball go past the 1st baseman and blindly ran to 2nd.
That's bad baseball.
English
@TalkinYanks You people are out of your minds. That was a good time to take a chance and get into scoring position.
English
Volpe is thrown out by a lot after trying to advance to second on a throwing error
English
@YankeesMIKE2408 @DanClarkSports You now nothing about baseball. Down 2 in the 5th and trying to get into scoring position is a good strategy. 🤦♂️
English
@DanClarkSports Volpe has no situational awareness at all.
English
@dirk_fasshauer It’s the other way around. The reality is that most Americans don’t care about soccer. It’s not a priority for us.
English
Why can't Americans understand that the rest of the world doesn't share their taste in sports?
Vince Langman@LangmanVince
In case you're wondering why the United States is not participating in the World Cup this weekend: If an athlete with Mbappé's speed and agility, had grown up in the United States, he would be a wide receiver in the NFL, akin to Tyreek Hill, rather than a soccer player.
English
If the US wanted to, it would be the best at ANY sport.
To say the US doesn't have athletes to compete, we do [see chart]
We just don't care about soccer as much
Young boys dream of the MLB, NFL, or NBA not the Champions League
S.E.F 🪶@Marshillo_
Wrong. The best footballers aren't necessarily the stature of Erling Haaland. In fact, most technically gifted footballers are diminutive in size with low centre of gravity, Messi, Maradona, etc. It also depends on the position they play. The midfield requires a lot of movement and ability to manoeuvre, most suitable to smaller players.
English
@PawlowskiMario The actually reason is players like Odell Beckham Jr. who considers soccer his first love, and was so talented that he was invited to try out for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team at age 13, ultimately walked away from the sport because he could play in the NFL.
English
You know why the U.S. Women’s National Football/Soccer Team has won so many World Cups, and US men team sucks at it spectacularly? 🇺🇸🏆
In my opinion, it’s because of people like Megan Rapinoe, open-minded, passionate about the sport, and passionate about representing their country. And yes, she’s a lesbian and liberal. 🏳️🌈
The U.S. men’s team could learn a lot from them. In my opinion, you don’t win real football trophies with a far-right mindset.
English
@Gymnastmom2014 The U.S just beat Canada 2-1 in Hockey in 2026 Winter Olympics.

Dear America please stop calling yourself world champion of anything when you are the only ones playing 🙄
English
My favorite part of the World Cup is Europeans not thinking world class athletes can pick up soccer if they start at five years old.
It’s all skill acquisition man, Europeans are not born better with their feet
Toke Theilade@TokeTheilade
I wish Americans would watch this before talking their shit about how "they would dominate soccer if their best athletes didn't play other sports." No American national team has ever come close to this level of fluidity.
English
@AtxDem Soccer is a great sport and a lot of kids in the U.S play but kids in the US play it as second sport. They use it as a way to develop athleticism and stay in shape.
English
After basketball, soccer is the most widely played team sport among American kids.
This pervasive belief that kids don’t play soccer in the U.S. is wild to me.
The problem isn’t participation — it’s player development.
Matthew_Sean@Matthew_Sean96
The US will never develop better soccer talent because kids in America would rather play football, basketball, baseball, and maybe even hockey.
English
@Christian_NYYST Option 4. Kay read the Joel Sherman article and decided to go on air with it without verifying it.
English
So what really happened with this Volpe/Kay fiasco?
Here are the only three scenarios:
1. Kay was given bad information from someone he thought he could trust, didn’t verify it and went on the air with it.
2. Kay made the entire thing up to throw chum to the fans.
3. Kay was given correct information and now the YPM is in spin mode because God Forbid Volpe is the villain in this story.
You decide which is correct.
