Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton must rise to occasion in 2nd half

James Kratch

Giancarlo Stanton is trending toward the strangest Yankees tenure of any great player in team history. Yes, your initial instinct may be tying Stanton to Alex Rodriguez or Dave Winfield.

For the umpteenth time, the Yankees aren’t trading for Shohei Ohtani

Josh Benjamin

Listening to loudmouths on #BaseballTwitter complain about Aaron Judge robbing Shohei Ohtani of another MVP is bad enough.

Mets’ Pete Alonso channels Noah Syndergaard ahead of 2nd half

Matt Musico

It doesn’t matter who you ask… the Mets’ first-half performance during the 2023 season has been incredibly disappointing.
