In 5.1 innings, the 24-year-old held Seattle scoreless on two hits, walking four and striking out eight. And on Friday night, McLean gets another big test as his Mets … Continued

For all the talk we’ve had about the New York Yankees being down bad since getting swept by Boston in mid-June, there’s been little talk about the crosstown rival New York Mets. Just how are the boys in orange and blue faring in Juan Soto’s first season with them? Answer: Not much better than the … Continued

Regardless of what loudmouths on social media, WFAN, wherever say about Yankees manager Aaron Boone, it’s hard to deny a basic truth: The guy is a pretty good manager. No, don’t grab the pitchforks and storm my desk. Think about it. Aaron Boone made the move from the ESPN booth to managing a baseball team … Continued
It’s August 4 and, per usual, fans of both the New York Yankees and New York Mets are stressed out for different reasons. What’s strange is that, for the first time since probably the 2000 Subway Series? The roles have reversed. The Mets are a half-game behind their blood rival Philadelphia Phillies in the NL … Continued
Marcus Stroman picked up the win in the New York Yankees’ 7-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, right as general manager Brian Cashman was in the thick of rebuilding the bullpen.

Per MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, Baltimore will receive three prospects: Raimon Gomez, Anthony Nunez, and Chandler Marsh. All three are high-strikeout relief pitchers.

The New York Yankees made their bullpen better when they landed David Bednar from the Pirates, and now they hope it will take flight now that Jake Bird has been acquired from the Colorado Rockies. Jack Curry of the YES Network reported the Yankees would send two prospects to the Rockies: infielder Roc Riggio and … Continued
The New York Yankees added some much-needed bullpen help when they finally traded for some pitching hours before the trade deadline.

The New York Mets made their first significant moves of the trade deadline, bolstering their relief pitching with a pair of veteran relievers.

Those two prospects just happened to be exciting outfielder Drew … Continued
The New York Yankees have acquired outfielder Austin Slater from the Chicago White Sox for minor league pitcher Gage Ziehl, per YES Network’s Jack Curry.

A road trip in Toronto ended in a literal comedy of errors for the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers still trade the first-place Blue Jays by 4.5 games in the AL East, and desperately need some strong showings ahead of the trade deadline. Their opponent this weekend, the Bryce Harper-led Philadelphia Phillies, are in … Continued
The New York Yankees’ defense betrayed them again on Monday, as a pair of errors from Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe led to a 4-1 defeat. Five walks from Carlos Rodon didn’t help either. New York now sits four games behind the Jays, and hopes giving the rookie the ball again will help. That’s right, … Continued

The New York Yankees took two in Atlanta ahead of a key series in Toronto, and this could be a series that decides a division…in August. The Blue Jays are on an absolute hot streak, having gone 28-13 since June 1. This, combined with the Yankees’ June swoon, allowed them to take over first place … Continued
“I remember really wanting to play baseball,” former Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott said over the phone last week. “My dad buying me a cheap glove down at the drugstore. I don’t think he saw a future in it.” Well, ten MLB seasons, four teams, and a no-hitter later? He didn’t just break the barrier, but … Continued
To say Max Fried and the start of his eight-year, $218 million pact with the Yankees has paid off is a good joke. The big lefty is 11-2 on the year with a stellar 2.27 ERA. Very easily an early favorite for the AL Cy Young. And on Saturday agains the Cubs, Fried will go … Continued
The New York Yankees upped their winning streak to four with a sweep of the Seattle Mariners, and now face a new challenge when the Chicago Cubs visit the Bronx this weekend. Craig Counsell, in his second year managing on the North Side, has the Cubbies are not only in first place, but own an … Continued
In case some of you forgot, I used to be a BIG DJ LeMahieu advocate. When the Yankees insisted on starting Troy Tulowitzki at shortstop to start 2019, I implored them to use the former batting champion as more than a backup infielder. Some injuries to other players and a Tulowitzki release later, LeMahieu was … Continued
Cam Schlittler is making his MLB debut under some solid circumstances. The Bronx Bombers are still 3.5 games behind the red-hot Blue Jays thanks to a recent cold stretch, but Monday gave some hope for the rest of the season. The Yankees dominated the Mariners 10-3 thanks to home runs from Giancarlo Stanton, Austin Wells, … Continued
The MLB All-Star teams have been announced for both leagues. Not surprisingly, New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto didn’t make the cut. Instead, the Mets will send first baseman Pete Alonso, shortstop Francisco Lindor, and closer Edwin Diaz to Atlanta. Additionally, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still very, very dead. Let’s be honest, folks. Juan Soto … Continued
The New York Yankees had a 3-1 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning on Monday, and Mark Leiter Jr. might as well have been Murphy’s Law. Granted, starter Carlos Rodon started the inning and was yanked immediately after Davis Schneider’s double, and then Leiter got the ball. From then on, the wheels … Continued
Someone should have told the New York Mets back in April that the pride comes before the fall. The team is in the midst of an awful 3-13 stretch since June 13, but still only trails first-place Philadelphia by 1.5 games in the NL East. Normally, this wouldn’t be a red flag. The crosstown rival … Continued
The New York Yankees hope to get back to their regular slugging ways when they begin a four-game set against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday. It’s a more important series than people realize.

Months of shoulder rehab and recovery later, Frankie Montas makes his New York Mets debut on Tuesday. New York signed the veteran righty to a one-year, $17 million option in the offseason, only for Montas to get injured early and not even appear in spring training. He now takes the mound after rehabbing his strained … Continued
Ryan Yarbrough’s oblique injury means a hole in the Yankees rotation. Thus, Triple-A righty Allan Winans will take the mound for his 2025 MLB debut in Cincinnati on Monday. These two teams have an interesting history. New York and Cincy have faced off in the World Series three times, with the Yankees winning two of … Continued
For the first time since 1968, the New York Yankees have not scored a run in three consecutive games. Not exactly what you’d expect from a team colloquially nicknamed “The Bronx Bombers.” It’s been a really rough go. The Yankees have been outscored 13-5 in their last six games. Nobody in the lineup is hitting … Continued
The Boston Red Sox swept the New York Yankees over the weekend, only to make a move one would expect from the opposite result. Mere hours after Boston’s 2-0 win over the Yankees on Sunday, star third baseman/first baseman/DH/whatever management needs from him a given week Rafael Devers was traded to the San Francisco Giants. … Continued
Everyone knew the New York Yankees were going to lose some games this year. Even the best go through bad stretches, it’s baseball. It happens. What no one could have expected, however, was the Yankees being swept by the Red Sox at Fenway Park over the weekend, thus losing five of the first six games of … Continued
A clutch ninth inning home run from Aaron Judge and a tight extra innings loss later, the New York Yankees need to channel some anger headed into Saturday night’s game. They’ll once again face Hunter Dobbins, the Red Sox rookie who would apparently retire if the Yankees were the only team offering him a deal. … Continued
The New York Yankees lost two of three to the Red Sox last weekend, and answered with a subsequent three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals. The Bronx Bombers earned it too, having eked out a tight 1-0 victory to complete the sweep Wednesday. It’s now out of the frying pan and into the fire, … Continued
