The Yankees threw a bullpen game on Thursday, which begs the question: Do they need to acquire a starting pitcher by the Aug. 3 trade deadline — and preferably much sooner than that? Because by some point around the deadline, Max Fried and Carlos Rodón might be closing in on returns to the big league rotation. And late in August, Clarke Schmidt could begin to join the conversation as well, whether the bigger need is in the rotation or bullpen. But that is still weeks away. And while the Yankees have the benefit of the All-Star break coming up, once…

WASHINGTON — Iran has reportedly armed Cuba with a fleet of 300 kamikaze drones, putting the US mainland at risk of suffering a devastating attack, Jeb Bush warned Wednesday.   Shahed drones, which have a range of up to 1,500 miles and can be packed with up to 110 pounds of explosives,  gave the US headaches in the Middle East during the war in Iran because they are somewhat cheap to make, but are used for potent attacks. Florida is just about 90 miles from Cuba — well within the range for any drone attack from Cuba. “Iran has been a…

Tourists won’t be the only thing hogging the Big Apple sidewalks this summer. When people think of New York City rats, they usually picture woodchuck-size vermin darting through alleyways, or bursting through basement ceilings a la “Ratatouille.” They’re not wrong. During a recent ride-along with veteran exterminator Favio Ulloa, The Post didn’t spot a single rodent —we must’ve gotten lucky. But our lack of sightings wasn’t evidence that they weren’t there. What was discovered was the almost imperceptible cracks in the wall they exploit, the poison used to dispatch them and the constant snake-and-mongoose battle between Gothamites and the city’s…

Big Brother is honoring former houseguest, Mickey Lee, who died last year. As the reality show kicked off its 28th season on Thursday, July 9, a photo of Mickey was shown on-screen. “In loving memory of Mickey Lee (1990 – 2025),” the text next to her image read.

She was 35. “With profound sadness, the family of Mickey Lee announces her transition on Christmas in the early evening,” her family wrote in a statement released via social media on…

Gov. Gavin Newsom grew testy Thursday when pressed on not releasing his tax returns since 2020, deflecting to President Trump while insisting that federal investigations into him and his wife are part of a White House-directed witch hunt to “find something.” The California Democrat — who has sought to position himself as one of Trump’s chief antagonists ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run — was asked during a news conference for updates on his taxes and the federal investigations involving him, First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, his staff and people in his political orbit. “I know you love taxes,”…

She had tested positive with Group B Streptococcus — a common bacterium found in the digestive and vaginal tracts that can cause severe illness if transmitted during childbirth. Carolina Moreno was given antibiotics before her waters could be broken and labor could begin. “They didn’t do anything until I was properly covered by…

Josh Hart is still upset over Mitchell Robinson’s departure.  On Thursday night, the Knicks guard took to X to reply to the Celtics announcing Robinson as a key big man on their team, writing to Boston, “Yo admin delete this.” Hart and Robinson played four years together in New York after the Knicks acquired Hart in a trade with the Trail Blazers in 2023. Robinson and his former teammates have been interacting with each other through social media quite a lot since the center signed a three-year, $47.4 million deal with Boston.  Robinson, who spent eight years with the Knicks,…
