Former Mets J.D. Davis, Michael Conforto wonder what could have been in New York

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:57:18 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — By last year’s trade deadline, the excitement that Michael Conforto and J.D. Davis felt during their ascendent 2019 felt like eons ago. Once part of a promising young core in New York, Conforto’s shoulder rehab had kept him off the field all season, and Davis’ patience was wearing thin as he struggled to see the field consistently despite a clean bill of health.“Football players and basketball players, they can go in and just say, I want to get traded,” Davis said. “As a baseball player, you can’t. You’re more under the organization’s thumb and you just have to do what you’ve got to do. … I was very outspoken in saying I just need more reps.”Davis had voiced his displeasure. He’d heard murmurs leading up to deadline day. So when his phone rang in the visitor’s clubhouse at Nationals Park last August, Davis wasn’t surprised to hear the voice of Mets general manager Billy Eppler on the other end. Where h...

Mikal Bridges’ deep sigh pierced through the deafening silence wafting about the home locker room as he walked from his locker to the bathroom.He blew it — and he knew it.“I love my guys to death and I told them, that’s on me, I’m sorry I couldn’t come through and just win some games,” he said. “I just wanted to make some shots but I promised them I’ll be better next time.”The Nets thrust Bridges into the No. 1 scoring option role when they acquired him in the deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns.

Anthony Volpe’s 2-run homer, DJ LeMahieu’s walk-off single lead Yankees to 3-2 win over the Blue Jays

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:57:18 GMT

Saturday’s pitching duel between the Yankees’ Gerrit Cole and the Blue Jays’ Alek Manoah lived up to the hype.But after both starters departed, Anthony Volpe and DJ LeMahieu stole the spotlight.Volpe, a 21-year-old rookie, scored the first runs of the game in the eighth inning when he took a Yimi Garcia fastball the other way and over the right field fence at Yankee Stadium. The two-run home run, the second of Volpe’s young career, gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead after Manoah spent most of the afternoon shoving.A curtain call soon followed, though Aaron Boone and bench coach Carlos Mendoza had to prod the reluctant shortstop, who ultimately clapped at the crowd instead of offering a traditional wave or tip of the helmet.“It was pretty crazy. I didn’t really know what was going on, I guess, and I didn’t want to assume to go out or anything like that,” Volpe said with a smile. “I didn’t even know where to go.”Boone said the...
