Without Eduardo Rodriguez, who departed to the Detroit Tigers, their rotation is missing a high-upside lefty stopper. If this isn’t their last attempt to patch up the rotation, then Boston fans will be fine to keep bragging . Coming off Tommy John surgery , Paxton will likely not pitch at all until the tail end […]
The New York Yankees have done nothing … and we mean NOTHING … with just hours to go before the MLB lockout. According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, Freddie Freeman is drawing interest from the Bombers as he’s still a free agent. Freeman is the undisputed best first baseman in the sport and the Yankees […]
The Yanks might want to at least consider “pulling a Padres-Adam Frazier” and immediately ditch an All-Star mere months after surrendering serious assets to acquire him. Fresh off an eyesore of a 58-game stretch in pinstripes in which Gallo hit .160 with 13 bombs and an unpalatable 93 OPS+, it would make sense that the sharks […]
But what other reason would you want him other than “getting better”? He’s kind of an annoying personality ; his brother, Ben, built his entire persona on hating the Yankees and is essentially the Jared Carrabis of Fox Sports; and the idea of poaching more and more Astros players just to … beat the Astros […]
No, no. Using Turner at short and Lux at second before entertaining a midseason extension seemed like the logical next step, especially as Andrew Friedman tried to balance so much money elsewhere with so many holes to fill. Max Scherzer is on the free agent market, and some have projected him to receive up to […]
Signing Corey Seager, the Yankees’ other clear preference at short, only to move him to third base to accommodate someone we haven’t met yet, is much less clean. In terms of how plainly “unafraid” Correa is of both the big stage and the big moments, that much is clear. But listening to them on personnel moves? If […]
In the weeks since Gerrit Cole’s disastrous start in the AL Wild Card Game, more and more rumors and speculation hav surfaced regarding the New York Yankees‘ ace. 1, Cole compiled a 3.31 ERA with a more impressive 2.68 FIP, which was is the result of holding opponent hitters to a .218/.273/.351 slash line. While […]
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – OCTOBER 03: Brett Gardner #11 of the New York Yankees in action against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on October 03, 2021 in New York City. On Thursday evening, we got our first bit of real New York Yankees free agency news that actually carried some magnitude. In […]
Alongside former Rockies star Larry Walker and Cardinals catcher Ted Simmons, Jeter will be inducted on Tuesday, putting a capstone on one of the greatest careers in modern baseball history. Jeter hopes that his legacy as the captain of the Yankees and one of the greatest players in franchise history remains intact for years to […]
General manager Brian Cashman — as the rumors supported over the last few months — was eyeing a trade for Colorado Rockies star shortstop Trevor Story. “The Yankees’ original plan was to trade for Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, then move Gleyber Torres to second and DJ LeMahieu to first. The addition of Gallo was the Yankees’ first move, but that […]
From the same source as Cody Bellinger, the Yankees went with a prep arm in Round 3, which is probably the safest place to “go for it” with a high school hurler. Not the first Louisville second baseman the Yankees have selected in recent years! They love the program. Cooper Bowman, chosen with the Yankees’ […]
However, this year Boonie has found himself in an awkward position. Coincidently, putting Sanchez’s leg kick modification when batting aside, the Kraken started impressively raking around the time Boone announced that he would be catching less in the future. Up until now, Boone, the pitchers, and the players involved have not spoken about the situation, […]
In the shortened 2020 season, he slashed .290/.395/.464 with two home runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases across 33 games. It’s really not what you want, and it’s forced Aaron Judge to play a lot more center field than we had ever imagined thus far. …Read the full story
For some odd reason, there are people out there trying to soften the blow on the Houston Astros for their role in the widespread sign-stealing scandal that was, by definition, cheating. But when you’re trying to simply nitpick stats for the sole purpose of making a specific party look bad, it’s misleading. The fact of […]
Cole mentioned that he had spoken to division rival Tyler Glasnow about his comments following the elbow injury he suffered this week, and that the two shared similar concerns. Over the past few days alone, pitchers all across the spectrum, from Glasnow to Cole to Red Sox starter Garrett Richards have hinted, winked and nudged at how MLB […]
