Ruben Amaro Jr. has the worst Ruben Tejada-Chase Utley opinion ever

12 longest Yankees home runs of 2023 (so far)

Matt Musico

Without Aaron Judge in the lineup, the Yankees spent the majority of June struggling to score runs consistently. It’s not that they don’t have players who can’t produce, though — they just went ice cold. But when those other high-priced players do get hot, the ball goes a long way. That’s evidenced by the longest … Continued

Yankees fans really booed Aaron Hicks’ tribute video

Matt Musico

After a six-game road trip, the Yankees returned home Monday night to begin a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles. That meant it was time to welcome back old friend Aaron Hicks, who of course caught fire at the plate once New York cut him loose. We’ve been wondering if the Yankees were planning on … Continued

Yankees’ next 4 games could mean the season

Josh Benjamin

The Yankees have their work cut out for them after losing two of three to the St. Louis Cardinals. Fresh off a disappointing 5-1 loss Sunday, even more so considering Gerrit Cole started, New York now has four games at home against the rival Baltimore Orioles. In case you missed it, the Orioles are far … Continued

Yankees-Cardinals takeaways: No Redbird redemption for Bombers

Josh Benjamin

The good news is that unlike last year, the Yankees didn’t spend what wound up a rain-soaked weekend at Busch Stadium getting swept. The bad news is the Bronx Bombers still lost two of three. Pitchers underperformed. The hitters, despite Aaron Judge’s continued progress, barely showed up. The only saving grace is big lefty Carlos … Continued

Mets’ Shohei Ohtani chances feel as bleak as ever right now

Matt Musico

When it comes to reeling in Shohei Ohtani via free agency, the Mets’ chances have always seemed long. With how things have transpired in 2023, those chances look as bleak as they’ve ever been. And no, it’s not just because they look more like trade-deadline sellers than anything else. That’s part of it, though. Team … Continued

Mike Francesa just handwaved his autograph show appearance

James Kratch

Mike Francesa is not trying to take money out of the working man’s pocket any way that he can. The WFAN legend — likely spurred by nemesis Craig Carton’s on-air troll — set the record straight about his scheduled appearance at a sports card convention in September at the Jersey Shore. And heavy emphasis on … Continued

James Harden is never, ever coming to the Knicks

Does Yankees’ 2023 turnaround run through St. Louis?

Josh Benjamin

Last season, Yankees-Cardinals was supposed to be a classic matchup between MLB’s two most successful franchises. Instead, St. Louis pulled off an unceremonious sweep and sent the Bronx Bombers off the rails. Losing three games at Busch Stadium extended a losing streak to five games as New York went 10-18 in August. Worse yet, each … Continued

Yankees-Athletics takeaways: Bombers wins 3rd-straight series

Josh Benjamin

It took losing to the MLB-worst Athletics on Tuesday for the Yankees to finally come alive at the plate. Even better, Domingo German rewarded his 11 runs of support with a perfect game. Add Aaron Judge slowly resuming baseball activities, and the Yankees did practically everything in Oakland except sweep the series. Some takeaways: Chicken … Continued

The calls of Domingo German’s perfect game are drawing high praise

James Kratch

Domingo Germán’s perfect game came with imperfect timing for the Yankees’ lead voices. Radio play-by-player John Sterling and Michael Kay, his television counterpart/reported enemy, are skipping the Bombers’ West Coast swing. That left Justin Shackil and Ryan Ruocco to handle the historic occasion for WFAN and YES Network, respectively. And their calls of the final … Continued

James Kratch

Domingo German just pitched a perfect game. And Mike Francesa has followed up the Yankees right-hander’s entry into baseball immortality with a hard-hitting take. “German had never pitched a complete game or a shutout before tonight,” the WFAN legend tweeted. “Now he has.” Followed by: “In his previous two starts before tonight, German had allowed … Continued
