Buster Olney

Former Bethlehem High School standout, Matt Quatraro may be the next manager for the New York Mets. Quatraro is currently the bench coach for the Tampa Bay Rays. The Mets have been looking for a manager since they fired Luis Rojas after the team's disappointing season.

"The most boring player I've ever interacted with, was Derek Jeter. And I told him that." Very few people can say that and mean it, and Buster Olney is one of them.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman is wheeling and dealing like his job depends on it. Maybe it does and the same goes for his manager. Though both will be quickly employed if let go, it is not the same as being at the head of the New York Yankees organization.

The baseball fans that still watch the All Star Game want to see the game's best players. That's it in a nutshell. Jacob deGrom, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa are some of the games biggest stars. Jacob deGrom is among the top 2 or 3 very best. If it's not important to those players, why should it be important to the fans?

The New York Yankees are off to a TERRIBLE start to the season. I mean it's so bad that I actually asked ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney if he'd rather talk about the Knicks instead of the Yankees today. He chose to stick with the Yankees and seemingly took joy in tormenting me along with help from Red Sox fan and cohost Dan Bahl. Is there hope for a turnaround any time soon? Are the answers in-house or is it time to trade? If you need to trade which players could be leaving the Bronx for the last time as a Yankee?

This week's interview with ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney might be my favorite conversation I've ever had with him. That's saying a lot considering I look forward to Thursday's at 3:15 pm EST all baseball season because Buster has amazing insight. This week not only did Buster provide great insight into the MLB but he also attempted to decipher Yankees manager Aaron Boone and previews an amazing interview with Freddie Freeman that'll air this Sunday.

To say that the Shen graduate Ian Anderson was making the Capital Region proud would be a huge understatement. Anderson has now pitched in three postseason games for the Atlanta Braves and has yet to give up a single run to the Cincinnati Reds, Miami Marlins, or Los Angeles Dodgers. Where does ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney rank Ian Anderson's performance so far compared to other pitchers he's covered?

ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney joins Levack and Goz (Charlie Voelker in for Goz) to layout the remaining hurdles that the MLB and the MLBPA need to traverse to get the 2020 season off the ground.

This was supposed to be opening day for the MLB 2020 season but as we all know the world has changed drastically. Even though we don't have the game we love today we still have our friend Buster Olney. Buster shares his insight and opinions about where the league goes from here as well as other MLB news.

Talking to ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney always makes me feel like Summer is closer and baseball is right around the corner. With Spring Training games beginning this weekend and Manny Machado signing a 10 year $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres, we're all wondering where and when will Bryce Harper sign.
