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 […]

We are a month away from Spring Training starting and we still have no idea where Sonny Gray will be pitching, but we’re pretty sure it won’t be for the New York Yankees. A lot of teams have been mentioned as possible suitors for Gray, but the team that makes the most sense is the […]

After winning a spot in the Wild Card last season, the New York Yankees handily defeated the Oakland Athletics to push them ahead to the American League Divisional Series. The Yankees pushed the eventual World Series champion Boston Red Sox to four games, ultimately giving up 25 runs in a series that the Bronx Bombers […]

Once the clearance came in that C.C. Sabathia could resume baseball activities last week, talks to move Sonny Gray picked up with a number of teams. Jon Heyman reported that six teams were discussing Gray with the Yankees. Today, Heyman reported that the Yankees are continuing to look for starting pitching for 2019 while they […]

Two things were certain about the New York Yankees heading into the offseason. First, they needed starting pitching and Sonny Gray was not the answer. Second, they were not happy about seeing the Boston Red Sox hoist that World Series trophy and they will do whatever it takes to make sure it does not happen […]

Current NFL quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson will be joining the New York Yankees training camp, per his agent, Mark Rhodes, and via Jon Morosi of the MLB Network. Russell Wilson will attend spring training with the #Yankees this year, as he did in 2018, his @MLB agent, Mark Rodgers, just told us […]

Manny Machado has been one of the most talked about names on the MLB free agency market this offseason and there are quite a few teams interested in signing him. Among those teams are the New York Yankees, who have been wanting to make a splash at the right price. According to a new report […]

Manny Machado is one of the top names available in MLB free agency this offseason and the New York Yankees have been talked about as one of the top landing spots for him. While the Yankees are certainly interested in Machado, there are quite a few other teams that will be more than willing to […]

As the MLB free agency market begins to heat up, rumors are continuing to fly about where superstar slugger Bryce Harper could end up. Reports have come out that the Washington Nationals do not expect to be able to convince him to re-sign, which means that Harper will be taking his talents to another market. […]

Aaron Judge is one of the biggest stars in baseball in just his second season with the New York Yankees. Bursting onto the scene in 2016, Judge used his first 27 games with the Yankees to club four home runs and drive in 10 runs. That sample was enough to bring a ton of hype […]

Donovan Mitchell is in a tough situation. As a Mets fan, he needs to choose between rooting for the crosstown rival New York Yankees or the hated Boston Red Sox. Mitchell — a native of Connecticut — is right in the battleground between the Yankees and Red Sox. Connecticut is split down the middle with […]

It goes without saying New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is a man of many talents. He flaunted his athletic prowess on the diamond once again, this time for the New York Yankees. Prior to their matchup with the rival Boston Red Sox, Beckham was showing off his swing for fans and members […]

We know the kid has a cannon. It was on full display a week ago when he threw a few footballs at a rookie showcase. When it comes to baseball, he’s not about the effort. Instead, it was kept extremely professional and ceremonial. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley threw out the ceremonial first […]

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will soon be living what most people would call a dream. You know—because life isn’t already what most would call a dream. But in the days ahead, he’ll be doing what millions of young boys have dreamed of doing. He’ll be reporting to training camp with the New York Yankees. […]
