Joel Sherman’s latest 3 Things I Think video treats two marquee New York teams and a standout season as the focal point. He argues the Yankees’ playoff rotation could hinge on a dependable one-two punch of Max Fried and Carlos Rodon, giving Aaron Boone a clear top pairing, but who would start a pivotal Game 3 remains unresolved. In Queens, Sherman notes Nolan McLean has earned the Mets’ Game 1 trust, yet the rest of the rotation remains unsettled, leaving a path that could involve another young pitcher or a two-headed Clay Holmes-Sean Manaea tandem. He closes with a verdict on Cody Bellinger: the Yankees outfielder has had a standout season that anchors the lineup amid the pitching questions.
Sherman’s discussion underscores how postseason planning often centers on a handful of individual performances and a handful of key decisions, with teams balancing depth against optimism as October approaches.
Meanwhile, a high-profile personal storyline emerged in the sports-entertainment landscape. Stefon Diggs, Cardi B’s boyfriend, is facing a paternity suit over a 5-month-old child. Court documents obtained by Page Six show Aileen Lopera, known as Lord Gisselle on social media, filed in December 2024 in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles to determine parental relationship, naming Diggs as the parent of the unborn child. Lopera, who was pregnant at filing, asked for legal and physical custody and for Diggs to cover pregnancy and birth expenses and attorney fees. In July, Diggs filed a response indicating he was not certain whether he was the father and requesting a genetic test. If parentage is established, Diggs asked for joint legal and joint physical custody and for him to share pregnancy costs and attorney fees. The report notes that The US Sun was first to break the story, and Page Six has reached out to Diggs’ lawyer for comment with no immediate response. Cardi B, who is pregnant by Diggs, has three children with her estranged husband Offset, with whom she filed for divorce last year. The couple has previously publicly discussed their relationship, including public appearances and commentary surrounding child support and custody.
Cardi B’s public and professional life continues to unfold in tandem with the paternity case, illustrating how personal headlines intersect with entertainment and sports coverage in real time.
The paternity matter adds another thread to the ongoing, high-profile narrative surrounding Cardi B and Diggs, a relationship that has attracted constant media attention since it became public earlier this year.
