Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
Some relievers are easy to admire because of pure stuff. Fernando Cruz is easy to root for because every pitch he throws in pinstripes feels like the payoff to a baseball life that was never supposed to take him here. That feeling stems not only from the high-leverage situations he keeps being placed in, but […]
Welcome to the second edition of the revamped Rivalry Roundup! The Yankees were able to address one of their main rivals head-on last night, blanking the Red Sox behind a sterling effort from Luis Gil and a power display from Giancarlo Stanton. Even if it’s April 22nd, there’s never a bad time to see the […]
The Yankees made a quick shuffle today, placing starter Ryan Weathers on the paternity list and recalling Jake Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Bird had been sent down to the minors after allowing three runs in an outing against the Angels, replaced first by Yerry De Lo Santos and then by Angel Chivilli. This will likely […]
There are landmark moments in the histories of baseball teams that signal the shift in the organization’s trajectory. Years of poorly-assembled starting rotations squandered the primes of Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson, contributing to a 17-year World Series drought and multiples seasons of playoff-less baseball in the Bronx. The 1990s brought a renewed […]
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by wondering—still in April, mind you—if the season can be saved and if Carlos Mendoza’s job […]
The Rangers had five players who played in five or fewer games this season. Grind those beans because we're kicking off Report Card season with the Cup of Coffee Crew.
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Just a light general news post for the day, where we look at Dillon Dingler’s incredible zone awareness, just how good Kevin McGonigle has been to start his rookie season, and in a more broad strokes look at baseball news we get a preview of the All-Star Week events, Craig Counsell calls […]
Watching Laz Diaz umpire home plate yesterday, and the way both teams basically froze up after unsuccessfully using one challenge in the first PA of the game, reinforced for me that two ABS challenges is insufficient. But, a little before that, I had read this Jayson Stark article in The Athletic about the headwinds, such […]
New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells entered Tuesday’s series opener against the Red Sox with a disappointing .180/.344/.260 line, one home run, two RBI, and a 78 wRC+. For a player who posted a 107 wRC+ in 2024 and a 94 mark last year, it’s certainly a step back. By now, we all know that […]
Meet the Mets The Mets lost their twelfth-straight game 5-3 to the Twins, despite a three-run home run from Francisco Lindor and a strong start by Nolan McLean. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, Newsday, New York Daily News, New York Post, The Athletic Plenty has been said about who or what may be at […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
On Tuesday, the Devils introduced new general manager Sunny Mehta to the media, as well as the general public. You can watch the press conference in its entirety here. Judging from the comments here in previous articles as well as on social media, I think the reception to the Devils hiring of Mehta has generally […]
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Did you know the Cubs are in the most interesting division in baseball? Of course, we always knew that, but it seems like the NL Central is getting a lot of attention this week. Other things on people’s minds? The Phillies, Mets, and Astros are the talk of the town, and it’s […]
The newest quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, Justin Fields, was acquired via trade this spring. The New York Jets sent Fields to Kansas City in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, and paid $8 million of the $11 million total Fields is slated to make in 2026. Not only did New York help the […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (12-9) SYRACUSE 12, WORCESTER 3 (BOX) Ronny Mauricio put Syracuse on the board with a solo shot in the top of the fourth- one of two runs they would score that inning- and continued swinging a hot bat all evening, going yard once again in the fifth and then a third, final […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links Sunny is here: “Sunny Mehta has a few tasks at hand as the New Jersey Devils’ new general manager. Among those tasks are clarifying Nico Hischier’s situation and deciding on Sheldon Keefe’s future, but that’s not all. Devils on the Rush is a reader-supported publication. Navigating ways […]

Ben Rice’s playing time has been a topic of some consternation around these parts to the start the season. The 27-year-old has been some metrics the best hitter in baseball thus far, so it’s been frustrating to find him on the bench at times. But rather than ask the question of whether Rice should play […]
MLB.com | Joe Vasile: The New York Yankees and the Hudson Valley Renegades announced yesterday afternoon that pitchers Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón will start for the Renegades on Thursday and Friday, respectively, as part of their rehab assignments. Cole will be making his second start, as he began his rehab assignment with the Double-A […]
One of the most unfortunate things about being an American sports fan is you’re relentlessly inundated with erectile dysfunction advertisements. Are you unable to perform like you used to? Having trouble getting it up? Not making enough hard contact? The saving grace is these inquiries are generally quarantined to the commercial breaks. But lately, and […]
Sean Marks may have been the GM of the Brooklyn Nets for a decade, but his roots lie elsewhere. The native of Auckland, New Zealand, is part of the first generation of international NBA players, as he said among the first 40 or 50. He became the first player from his home country to play […]
The Mets led 3-0, Nolan McLean was perfect through five, and the Twins were throwing a spot-starter in Simeon Woods Richardson, who came into the game with a 6.10 ERA. The Mets also somehow lost, again, giving them an abhorrent 12th-straight loss. They are now 7-16. Yikes. The game was a game of two halves. […]
With the Twins trying to avoid extending their losing streak to 5, Simeon Woods Richardson was tasked with out-dueling the Mets Nolan McLean. The assignment proved to be difficult, as McLean would take a perfect game into the 6th inning. Meanwhile, old nemesis Francisco Lindor smashed a 3-run homer in the third off of SWR, […]
Boy, does it feel good to beat Boston. The Yankees got their heads right over the weekend in their home sweep of Kansas City and carried that momentum to Fenway Park, handling the scuffling Red Sox in the first rivalry meeting of 2026. Luis Gil had little trouble shutting down a brittle Boston offense, and […]
I thought this meter would be better than the hitting meter because the offense has really been the problem. But honestly? It’s not that much better. There are more positive grades for sure, but there are almost as many pitchers mired in the poop right now as the hitters, which is almost impressive. All of […]
