1+ min ago (361+ words) Despite several ankle sprains that put a limit on his sophomore season, there was no concern over Noah Clowney's development for Jordi Fern'ndez. "We saw him as a part of our future," the coach said after practice on Tuesday." At the beginning of this season, the third-year forward got off to a rocky start due to what Clowney believed was being " too conservative" on the floor. However, following the Nets' 0-7 start, the 21-year-old has found his footing and the team's belief in him is paying off. In the last 16 games, Clowney has averaged 16.6 points on 45 percent shooting from the field and nearly 40 percent from beyond the arc. In the first seven games of the season, he was only shooting 27 percent and averaging just 5.5 points." Clowney is playing the most minutes so far of his NBA career, averaging 28 minutes per game,…...

2+ min ago (1185+ words) Politicians have been described in many unsavory ways, but not since the days when Tammany Hall's gangster bosses ruled the roost has a major New York official been called "obedient." That is, until now, with a former top aide using that word to describe how easy it was to get Gov. Hochul to do her bidding. The image is chilling, as if the governor can be put under the sway of a puppeteer and follows orders." The circumstances are even more disturbing, given that the former state aide who described Hochul as "obedient was allegedly working as a secret agent for Communist China." The former aide, Linda Sun, is facing federal charges in Brooklyn. The incident in question, according to trial evidence, occurred in 2021, when Andrew Cuomo was governor and Hochul was lieutenant governor." Secretly directed by her handlers in…...

2+ min ago (281+ words) Edwin D'az wasn't the only member of the 2025 Mets bullpen to head out of town on Tuesday. Left-handed reliever Gregory Soto has agreed to a one-year, $7.75 million contract with the Pirates, ESPN's Jorge Castillo reported. The hard-throwing Soto now joins a Pirates team that had a middle-of-the-pack bullpen with a 3.83 ERA, ranking 13th in MLB in 2025. Soto started last season with the Orioles and then joined the Mets at the trade deadline when they tried to shore up their bullpen by acquiring him, Ryan Helsley (Cardinals) and Tyler Rogers (Giants). The super bullpen never materialized, and Soto had a 4.50 ERA and 1.625 WHIP with 26 strikeouts across 25 outings as he struggled with command while the Mets collapsed over the last three months to miss the playoffs after losing a tiebreaker with the Reds. Soto, 30, is predominantly a sinker-slider pitcher who averages nearly 97 mph…...

On December 8, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K.

13+ min ago (242+ words) ORLANDO, Fla. " One of the few free agents who could potentially have given the Mets a power upgrade over Pete Alonso was removed from the board Tuesday. Kyle Schwarber reached agreement with the Phillies on a five-year contract worth $150 million, according to sources, returning him to the team for which he finished second in the National League MVP voting last season.
