Yankees RP Keynan Middleton rips Chicago White Sox ‘culture’

While Brian Cashman was essentially doing nothing as the trade deadline passed, the Yankees were in the midst of a seven-game homestand vs. the Rays and Astros. New York ended up going 3-4, which included splitting four games against Houston. That’s usually nothing to write home about, but don’t tell that to outfielder Harrison Bader. … Continued

The state of the Yankees is such that even a four-game split with the reigning world champion Astros almost feels like a sweep. This is because winning or losing, New York’s lineup is slowly becoming more competitive. The at-bats are better. Being down in a game doesn’t automatically mean the Yankees are out and destined … Continued

The Yankees came home after a weekend trip to Baltimore for an important seven-game homestand vs. the Rays and Astros. New York ended up going 3-4. They’re out of last place in the AL East but are also 4.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot. Now, the Bombers head to the Windy City … Continued

There were several reports indicating prominent Yankees appeared shaken after the team announced Domingo Germán will miss the rest of the season while seeking alcohol treatment. A new Wall Street Journal report explains why. Germán “wreaked havoc” in the Bombers’ clubhouse prior to being placed on the restricted list, according to the newspaper. 👉 Claim … Continued

After demolishing Triple-A pitching for the Syracuse Mets to the tune of 14 home runs in 37 games, Luke Voit is once again a free agent. Meanwhile, the Yankees could use some help at first base now that Anthony Rizzo is on the injured list. Will the Bombers bring Voit home? Manager Aaron Boone was … Continued

Yankees righty Domingo German will miss the rest of the season to enter treatment for alcohol abuse, which could mean a unique opportunity for a young New York arm: 24-year-old prospect Randy Vasquez. Fans are already somewhat familiar with Vasquez, who has had an up-and-down year at Triple-A Scranton. He has a 4.76 ERA and 10.8 … Continued

In the immediate aftermath of the Yankees’ lackluster trade deadline, we saw our first of likely many “Fire Cashman” signs at Yankee Stadium. That same fan was back for more on Wednesday night. Apparently, he had a goal in mind: to get his sign on the broadcast. He got thrown out while trying to make … Continued

The Yankees avoided a sweep at the hands of the rival Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday with a resounding 7-2 victory. Better yet, the Bronx Bombers lived up to their name and actually looked like a complete team up at bat. Thirteen base hits. Two home runs, one each from Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Volpe. … Continued

The Yankees haven’t won a series since sweeping the Royals from July 21-23. They’ve also lost two straight series to AL East opponents in the Orioles and Rays. New York’s reward? A four-game set with the Astros. Oh, and noted Yankee killer Justin Verlander will be making his first appearance since getting traded back to … Continued

The Mets just waved the white flag on their 2023 season. However, the Yankees didn’t do much better because they barely did anything. One area that needed help the least was the bullpen. However, Brian Cashman traded for two relievers, including Keynan Middleton from the White Sox. As you can imagine, Yankee Stadium was not … Continued

More often than not at ESNY, we’ve discussed Hal Steinbrenner’s positive qualities as owner of the Yankees. Because, in fairness, there are a few. Unlike his father, the late great George, Hal doesn’t throw money at the glorified Band-Aids that are aging players. Not by default at least. Frustrating as longtime general manager Brian Cashman … Continued

The MLB trade deadline is hours away. No one expects the Yankees will do much — all the baseball scoopmeisters are using words like “measured” to describe the Bombers’ anticipated approach — which is a fancy word for cheap and underwhelming, of course. And get this: General manager Brian Cashman and owner Hal Steinbrenner might … Continued

Technically, the Yankees enter August within striking distance of a postseason spot. Despite being 55-51 and occupying last place in the AL East, they’re just 3.5 games out of the final AL Wild Card spot ahead of Tuesday’s action. But things haven’t gone well recently, especially over the last two games. The Orioles and Rays … Continued

Try to follow along here. Domingo Germán was the Yankees’ scheduled starting pitcher Monday against the Rays. He was then scratched about three hours before first pitch due to armpit discomfort (that’s a new one). The Bombers called up Jhony Brito for an emergency start. He got shelled in an eventual 5-1 loss. And then … Continued

The Yankees are in a better place than the Mets with under 24 hours until the MLB trade deadline. But not by much. And it sounds like the Bombers might follow the Amazins’ lead and throw in the towel on this disappointing season, albeit in a different manner. From The Post’s Joel Sherman: In an … Continued
