WATCH: Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton mashes go-ahead 3-run homer

Josh Benjamin

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton gave his team’s offense a much-needed spark on Wednesday. Facing Rays star lefty Shane McClanahan, the former MVP launched a go-ahead three-run home run to right-center.

Is Dalvin Cook just using Jets as free agency leverage?

Matt Musico

There was a palpable buzz at Jets training camp over the weekend. After all, free-agent running back Dalvin Cook was visiting. But once his visit was finished, he didn’t sign on the dotted line to join Gang Green for what’s hopefully going to be a memorable year. So, what gives? It’s not a requirement that … Continued

It’s time for Yankees’ Hal Steinbrenner to get a wakeup call

Josh Benjamin

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.

Yankees may be even cheaper than imagined at MLB trade deadline

James Kratch

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

Aaron Boone’s Domingo German explanation makes no sense

James Kratch

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

Yankees’ cheapness indeed getting in way of trade deadline plans
