After losing #jacobdegrom the @mets had to do something drastic.  40 years old soon enough #justinverlander will make $43M in 2023 & 2024.  Can he replicate his 18-4 #cyyoung season? @partylikearochkind says no!  But I want to have faith that he drinks from the fountain of youth.  Going to be a fun season in Queens with Verlander & #maxscherzer on the hill. 
 #treaturner got 11 years for $300M from @phillies #aaronjudge says thank you. 
4 more years of #briancashman @yankees fans rejoice not! 
@nyjets 1 for 6 in #redzone & 5 FG’s don’t win games.  7-5 @buffalobills Sunday is going to be a tough game.
 @nygiants 20-20 tie with @commanders felt like a loss.
  Poor #bakermayfield get that resume ready for @xfl & #usfl upcoming seasons. 
That #ufc fight between #wonderboy & #kevinholland Saturday night on @espn was epic.  Holland has a steel jaw but not a steel hand.  
Good luck to @uncwomenssoccer going for 22nd Natty tonight vs @uclawsoccer #goheels eye of the tiger.
