For a team that still currently sits in the Wild Card race, the Diamondbacks […]

Since the inception of the New York Mets in 1962, there have been 15 trades made between the Mets and their New York counterparts, the Yankees. 15 trades over 67 years is not a lot, but the line of conversation seems to have opened up more than usual before the 2019 trade deadline. The Mets, […]

The New York Yankees have placed catcher Gary Sanchez on the 10-day injured list as a result of a strained left groin, via MLB Trade Rumors. The Yankees have called up fellow backstop Kyle Higashioka from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as a corresponding move. Sanchez played during Tuesday night’s win over the Minnesota Twins, going 0-for-5. While […]

Even though inter-divisional trades are rare and hard to come by, the New York Yankees have yet to fit into any kind of mold ever expected of them, so it is pretty easy to tell that that will not change now. As the 2019 version of the MLB trade deadline quickly approaches, their greatest need […]

Trade season is upon us in the MLB, and with it brings the dream scenarios that every fan throws around. Wanting to get the best players while at the same time not giving up any talent in return, the trade deadline brings out the best of front offices all across the league, as franchises look […]

Perhaps the biggest prize that could be available at the MLB trade deadline is San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, who is in the final year of his deal and will likely command a big contract this offseason. Of course, the fact that the Giants have somehow wriggled their way back into playoff contention by […]

The Toronto Blue Jays could trade ace starting pitcher Marcus Stroman by the deadline later this month, and the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees are two teams that could be interested, according to Jon Morosi of MLB.com. The Yankees heavily scouted Stroman’s start against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night, further indicating that they […]

The New York Yankees could be looking to make a big move ahead of the MLB trade deadline this year. At the time of this writing, the Yankees are leading the American League East division nine games over the Tampa Bay Rays. One MLB analyst thinks the Yankees could take a look at Cleveland Indiana […]

All across the MLB, teams are focusing their drafting and developing efforts on shoring up the core of their team, emphasizing the quality of players up the middle. From catcher to pitcher, then from second baseman/shortstop to center field, teams are taking an up the middle approach to filling out their franchises. Looking at the […]

By showing its strength again by winning yet another All-Star game, the American League is gearing up for the second half of the 2019 MLB season, looking to make it three in a row for World Series championships. As it currently sits, there are eight teams that have an above .500 record, which is shaping […]

In the past, MLB fans have been privy to seeing front offices make deals during the All-Star break, catching players who may have even been playing in the game off guard. Rumors were running ablaze during last season’s All-Star game, which were mainly focused on which team was going to acquire All-Star Manny Machado from […]

Unlike the National League, the American League seems to be more set it stone in regards to how the standings have worked themselves out. For the New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins, the first half of their MLB seasons have all been very successful, to the point where they are leading their respective […]

Undergoing a pretty disappointing season, the Boston Red Sox currently sit 11 games back (that is not a misprint) of the first-place New York Yankees and 7 back of the second-place Tampa Bay Rays. Coming off of a very successful season that culminated in the BoSox winning the 2018 World Series over the Los Angeles […]

The New York Yankees are starting to get healthy which is a dangerous thing for baseball. Didi Gregorius and Giancarlo Stanton have returned to action. Aaron Judge is rehabbing in Scranton with the Triple-A ball club. Missing a chunk of their starters for a good part of the season did not bother the Bombers. They […]

Currently, the American League is situated with three divisional leaders that most pegged to be holding down the top spots at this point in the season. With the Yankees holding a slim advantage in the East, the Minnesota Twins being a big surprise by running away with the Central and with the Houston Astros on […]

As per usual, the American League in the MLB is looking like the more impressive league out of the two, spoiled with talent and youngsters that are making waves through the sport of baseball. While the powerhouses, like the New York Yankees and Houston Astros, are mowing down their competition, the likes of the newcomer […]

The first two months of the 2019 season have concluded, which means the regular season is nearly 40 percent complete (crazy, right?). Whereas April can provide a number of pleasant and unpleasant surprises, May often separates the contenders from the pretenders as teams around the league prepare to dive headlong into the summer months. From […]

This past winter was one of more volatile offseason battles between team owners and the MLBPA. Executive director Tony Clark was vocal about his displeasure with the amount of players that remained unsigned as Spring Training arrived, as well as the sheer lack of long-term contracts being handed to players not named Manny Machado or […]

As has been a defacto result the past few seasons, the sport of baseball has been run by the American League, winners of the past two World Series and 10 since 2000. While the National League has presented some formidable competition to battle, both in interleague play and the World Series, the AL still reigns […]

Baseball season is officially two months old. The first 60 days of the season have been a roller coaster for the New York Yankees. The Bombers have faced injuries and lack of pitching depth which have forced young players to step up. Their record certainly does not reflect their problems. The Yankees are currently 35-18 […]

Injuries, injuries, injuries – the big thing holding back the 2019 version of the New York Yankees. An aspect that not even money can avoid, this team’s Injury List resembles something of a shopping list with how many different line items are on it. Striking their team hard to begin the year, 13 different Yankees […]

Thew New York Yankees reported to Spring Training looking like a legitimate World Series contender. Yet it took just a few short weeks for that status to be seriously challenged. The Yankees have had a litany of injuries that have affected the shape of their starting rotation as well as their lineups, and entered the […]

The current standings for the American League East have a surprising team leading the charge: the Tampa Bay Rays. A surprise to most, but not necessarily a shock to those on the team or directly involved with the rebuilding franchise. Last season, the Rays put up a staggering amount of victories in the AL with […]

The 2019 MLB season has already been filled with surprises. The Seattle Mariners–the preeminent “sellers” of this past offseason–have the best record in the bigs. The Red Sox, Yankees and Astros all have losing records. The Chicago Cubs lead the majors in batting average and on-base percentage, and yet have stumbled out of the gate […]

Coming into the 2019 MLB season, there is a definitive pecking order in terms of who is expected to compete for divisional crowns and beyond, and who is expected to compete for the first overall selection in the 2020 draft. Certain regulars, like the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Houston […]

In 2014, San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner had one of the most memorable World Series performances in history. The imposing left-hander won both of his starts against the Kansas City Royals in Game 1 and Game 5, then threw five innings of two-hit ball in Game 7 on a mere two days of rest […]

Coming off a season that saw him fall well below his offensive outputs in 2017, the year of 2018 for Aaron Judge was something that can best be described as forgettable. Lacking that true lineup protection with Giancarlo Stanton also having a down season, Judge was forced to take on more of the offensive workload […]

Coming off a season that resulted in yet another World Series championship earned, the Boston Red Sox do not have that many areas that need to be improved. However, their bullpen, after inevitably losing Craig Kimbrel (even though he still remains unsigned) will need to reshuffle and figure out who will slot in at the […]

New York Yankees ace Luis Severino was scratched from his scheduled Spring Training debut on Tuesday afternoon with right shoulder inflammation, and manager Aaron Boone said he is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day. https://twitter.com/MarlyRiveraESPN/status/1103037404460580864 Severino dealt with a strained tricep injury in 2016, but he has been mostly healthy for the past two […]

The New York Yankees won 100 games last season. What did that get them? Merely a Wild Card berth and a first-round exit courtesy of the Boston Red Sox, a team that will go down as one of the greatest ever in baseball history. It might be easy to write New York’s season up as […]

The top of the American League East featured a pair of teams in the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees that won over 100 games in 2018, including three AL East teams that won at least 90 games. The Red Sox won a franchise record 108 games and defeated the Yankees in the ALDS […]

New York Yankees left-hander C.C. Sabathia announced that he will retire after the 2019 season on Saturday afternoon, expressing a desire to spend more time with his family and bringing an aura of finality to a wonderful career. Sabathia seemed like he may be on his way out of the league after the 2016 season. […]

Antonio Brown requesting a trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers is one of the biggest stories in all of sports. Case in point: On Friday, New York Yankees legend Reggie Jackson offered up some unsolicited advice to the six-time Pro Bowler on Twitter, doing his best to convince Brown to continue his NFL career with the […]

After a disappointing end to their 2018 season came in the form of losing to the eventual World Series champion Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees are looking for revenge and improvements for their 2019 season. In an act to make it back to the promised land, the franchise has made the typical bold […]

In an era where free agency does not necessarily mean more money, high-octane closer Craig Kimbrel highlights the crop of relievers looking for a new team for the 2019 season. While other mid-tier arms have secured new contracts, Kimbrel still remains on the market. Any team that Kimbrel would join should immediately pencil in 10-15 […]

Arguably the best option left on the market, starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel still remains a free agent with less than three weeks to go before spring training starts. Normally an anomaly for big-ticket free agents to sign early on to the highest bidder, the past season began an unusual trend in which middle-tier free agents […]

While the New York Yankees enjoyed yet another successful and impressive season, only to lose in the playoffs again, 2018 just did not have a signature Yankees feel to it. While riding the offensive performances of the smash brothers Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge, other elements of the franchise seemingly did not go how they […]

The Cincinnati Reds have made this offseason interesting with the big trade to acquire Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, and Alex Wood from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, they have made it clear that they want to get back into contention with another big trade, acquiring starting pitcher Sonny Gray from the New York Yankees. According […]
