Erika Jayne is backtracking on her comments about Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley’s marriage.

You know damn well I was joking..” the reality star wrote. Erika Jayne claims she was joking about friends PK and Dorit Kemsley’s potential split.

Yankees were just start of Cristian Javier's run of domination

Image
PHILADELPHIA — The Yankees can take solace. It wasn’t just them. Cristian Javier does not discriminate. At some point in 2022, he basically stopped giving up hits, and it wasn’t just against Aaron Judge and Co. Javier has a fastball that hardly awes with its velocity. But it is illustrious because it is an illusion. He slings it from a low three-quarters arm slot with lots of backspin, giving the optical illusion that it is rising simply because it is not descending as other fastballs do. The Phillies actually had been strong against fastballs up in the zone this season. Not this version. You can’t hit what you can’t see. And the Phillies of Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber were as helpless as the Yankees of Judge and Anthony Rizzo. The Phillies, in fact, went from in control of this World Series and supported by a joyous home crowd to being on the wrong end of history and being booed. During Game 4. Of the World Series. Th...

Ranking top 30 free agents

Image
The free-agent list this year is filled with stars again, with two New York players topping our roster, and three Mets making our top 10. Here’s our top 30, ranked by a Q rating/interest/value combo (included are possible teams and an outside expert’s pay prediction). 1. Aaron Judge: The Yankees are feeling more confident this week. One reason I’d guess he will stay is that he shows great loyalty sticking with his longtime, very small-time agent. Teams: Yankees, Giants, Dodgers. Expert’s prediction: $330M, 9 years. 2. Jacob deGrom: Zack Wheeler told The Post’s Mike Puma deGrom likes being a Met. Teams: Rangers, Mets, Dodgers. Expert: $125M, 3 years. 3. Carlos Correa: Great defense, postseason pedigree and still 28, but interest last winter was disappointing. Teams: Dodgers, Giants, Braves, Twins, Cubs, Phillies. Expert: $275M, 9 years. 4. Trea Turner: Some think he prefers to go east, but he has said he liked Los Angeles and will consider...

Mets’ Starling Marte undergoes surgery on core muscle

Image
PHILADELPHIA – Starling Marte’s offseason will include a surgery rehab. The veteran outfielder, according to the Mets, had a core muscle surgically repaired on Tuesday and is expected to spend the next eight weeks recovering, but will be without restriction for spring training. The club said Marte sustained the injury in the second half of the season. Starling Marte N.Y. Post: Charles Wenzelberg Marte, 34, played 118 games for the Mets and owned a .292/.347/.468 slash line with 16 homers and 63 RBIs this season. The Mets signed Marte last winter to a four-year contract worth $78 million. During the season, Marte encountered a groin strain that forced him to miss action, but most of his absences from the lineup came in the final month, after he was hit by a pitch and sustained a fracture on his right middle finger. Marte, still not at full strength, returned for the Mets’ wildcard series loss to the Padres, and went 2-for-12 (.167) with two stolen ba...

Knicks viewing Quentin Grimes as 'situational' player right now

Image
Quentin Grimes feels healthy, hasn’t felt discomfort in a week and was able to practice fully the day after making his regular-season debut in the Knicks’ loss to the Hawks on Wednesday night. But that doesn’t mean his role is ready to expand. “He’s situational right now,” coach Tom Thibodeau said Thursday. “But we’ll take a look at it.” Grimes only played in the final minutes on Wednesday after the result had been decided, as Cam Reddish maintained his spot with the second unit. Thibodeau said he considered going to Grimes to defend Hawks All-Star Dejounte Murray but opted against it. Murray poured in 36 points. The second-year guard believes the Knicks are just being cautious with him. Quentin Grimes N.Y. Post: Charles Wenzelberg “They don’t want to throw me in too fast, and go in and play 30 minutes,” Grimes said. “They don’t want my foot to flare up again like it did. So right now, I’m just focused on what Thibs needs me to do when...

Aaron Boone, Brian Cashman understand Aaron Judge’s Yankees importance

Image
Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman know what the most important part of this Yankees’ offseason is. Boone, the Yankees manager, expressed his appreciation toward Judge and how their relationship has grown over both of their tenures in New York. “All I’ll say is, I hope he’s back and a Yankee forever,” Boone said. “I can’t think of a better guy that you want to be leading your team and your organization.” Judge broke the American League record with 62 home runs and was in contention for the Triple Crown in a season in which he often carried the Yankees. He is seemingly headed to MLB free agency after turning down a seven-year, $213.5 million dollar deal offered to him before the season began. As Cashman noted, Judge bet on himself and is in line for a massive payday — The Post’s Jon Heyman predicted he could be staring at a deal worth $330 million over nine years. Cashman, currently in limbo as he awaits a new contract to continue his run as Y...

Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. declares he'd 'never' join Yankees

Image
It seems that some prefer to play the villain. Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is slated to become a free agent after the 2025 season, and while it remains to be seen if he will stay in Toronto, it is apparent he won’t be wearing the Yankees pinstripes anytime soon. During a recent interview with Vincent Carmona Arias, Guerrero Jr. said he would never sign with the club. “I like to play in New York. I like to kill the Yankees. I would never sign with the Yankees, not even [when I’m] dead,” Guerrero said. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said he’d ‘never’ sign with the Yankees. Getty Images Guerrero Jr. has indeed been a Yankee-killer at the plate. The 23-year-old has a career .289 batting average with 13 homers and 41 RBI against the Yankees. Additionally, he’s bashed 10 home runs in 31 overall games at Yankee Stadium. On the whole, Guerrero Jr. enjoyed a successful 2022. He cracked 32 home runs this season and also won a Gold Glove at first base. It...

Astros are best MLB team in this era — like it or not

Image
HOUSTON — OK, let’s deal with the Astros’ legacy. Because they force you to deal with it. Because they didn’t shrink after punishment and embarrassment following their illegal sign stealing in 2017. They didn’t go away. Nope, they kept absorbing the boos, the criticism and the wonder about their achievements. Mostly they just kept returning to the postseason, the reformed criminal that proved able to succeed by playing it straight up. Even if you want to eliminate the 2017 season, and act as if the Astros’ first championship didn’t happen, that’s fine. They are still the team of this era. Still the standard. Nobody in recent years has been as consistently excellent as the Astros. They have lost Carlos Correa, George Springer, Gerrit Cole and their architect, Jeff Luhnow. But no matter what they’ve lost, they just keep winning. And now they have won it all. It will not stop all the barbs, but I return to the words offer...

The Masked Singer fans 'work out' Rhino's identity as X Factor winner | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Image
TV personality and panellist David McCall went on to point out how Rhino seemed "humble". She said: "Rhino has been particularly emotive. There are people who completely draw you in. "It’s lucky for Rhino, actually, that they can pull some emotion out of the bag, because it's very, very hard in that costume to give us anything at all. They are massive, and they are quite humble. "They keep putting their little hooves together, it looks so sweet. If it's possible to have a sweet rhino, this is it." So could it really be the former X Factor winner James Arthur behind Rhino?
