James Kratch

Remember when Yankees general manager Brian Cashman traded left-hander Jordan Montgomery to the Cardinals last season for center fielder Harrison Bader?

Josh Benjamin

This weekend should be exciting for baseball. The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers face each other in a weekend series at Dodger Stadium.

Yankees-Mariners takeaways: Bombers slug Seattle

Josh Benjamin

Everybody wants to believe in the Seattle Mariners, even ESNY. Unfortunately, the old pattern has re-emerged. Seattle succeeds one year and fails to build off of it. This was apparent when the light-hitting Mariners lost two of three to the Yankees at T-Mobile Park this week. Seattle’s only win? A 1-0 walkoff in extra innings … Continued

After losing 7-6 on May 16th … Continued

Is Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s Yankees redemption tour for real?

Josh Benjamin

We have had a very interesting relationship with the Yankees’ Isiah Kiner-Falefa. He hit .302 in April of last year, so much that I went so far as to call him the new Didi Gregorius. ESNY’s tone then gradually shifted with both Kiner-Falefa’s regression and frustrating fielding at shortstop. By the offseason, the discourse was either potential … Continued

Mets’ Jeff McNeil has some Tommy Pham slapping jokes

Matt Musico

The Aaron Hicks experience for the Yankees has recently ended (finally). But the Yankees aren’t done seeing Aaron Hicks. That was always going to be the case, though.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa agrees he sucked for Yankees last year

Matt Musico

Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson were the biggest and most immediate pieces to join the Yankees in their famed swap with the Minnesota Twins in 2022. While IKF had an OK season as New York’s starting shortstop, it still left a lot to be desired. He wasn’t expected to be the second coming of Derek … Continued
