We asked, you told. The topic of tanking has been discussed at nauseam, but it’s unavoidable. This season has been very difficult and the Nets are banking on the math behind the madness. At this rate, so what? Tanking won’t be easy over the final six games. They play Washington on Sunday. Milwaukee twice. The Pacers sandwiched […]
Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: What are your general thoughts about the team as currently constructed? Good enough […]

Everything’s been coming up Yankees for the first week or so of the 2026 season. After a 5-1 West Coast trip to open the season that went about as good as anyone could’ve asked for, the Bronx Bombers came home to face an equally hot Miami Marlins team that was feeling good about themselves after […]
After a highly successful 5-1 road trip to open the season, the Yankees return home to Yankee Stadium for the first time in 177 days to open a three-game set with the Miami Marlins on a rare Friday matinee. The Marlins come into this one on a roll to start the season, taking advantage of […]
Six games left. That is the total amount of dates before we can set our eyes on a brighter future. A few days ago, Brooklyn was belittled by a red hot Charlotte Hornets team that have been enjoying the fruits of its labor. Including their victory against the Nets and their 20 point win against […]
The fit between Jonathan Marchessault and the Nashville Predators has simply not been there. Because of this, the 35-year-old forward has been a trade candidate for quite some time now. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could try to land Marchessault this offseason. New Jersey Devils The Devils need another skilled winger in their top six, and it would not be particularly surprising if they pursued Marchessault this offseason because of it. The Devils have been connected to him...
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country.

The New York Yankees have completed their first road trip of the 2026 season, and while it’s definitely too early to take any bit of data too seriously, these six games leave us with some important takeaways. The most important one is reflected in the standings, as the Yanks boast the best record in the […]
Well, that series against the Yankees exposed some of the lingering issues with the Mariners roster, as currently constructed. Left-handed pitching is going to be a huge problem for this extremely lefty-heavy lineup throughout the season, and there really isn’t much relief in sight — J.P. Crawford is back from his brief IL stint but […]
Former NHL defenseman Ty Wishart calls in from an Australian beach to talk about his globe-spanning playing career and his 21 games with the Islanders in the eventful 2010-11 season. Drafted 16th overall by the Sharks and traded to Tampa Bay in the deal for Dan Boyle, Ty Wishart got a quick education in the […]
At the NFL League Meetings this week, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn made a prediction for which player is set to break out for the Jets in 2026. This made me wonder a bit about how good Taylor’s rookie year was. To be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed by Taylor’s performance. I didn’t see […]
A fifth-round pick putting up historic playoff numbers. A reclamation project finding his game at the right time. Two Rangers prospects to know heading into the OHL's second round.
Art Ditmar’s career sits in a space that baseball history does not always spotlight. He was not the headline name on the Yankees teams he played for, but he fits perfectly into the fabric of Yankees history because he was part of one of the most competitive and talent-filled eras the organization has ever seen. […]
A loss that was actually fine, a draft positioning update, and some real questions about J.T. Miller's leadership—on the same night he was given the Mr. Ranger Award.
Thursdays can obviously be light days on the major league schedule, but this one was a particularly short slate. As far as relevance to the Yankees goes, the Blue Jays were set to take on the White Sox in Chicago’s home opener, but it was pushed back due to inclement weather. So, American League action […]

Toledo Mud Hens 17, Syracuse Mets 7 (box) The Mud Hens crushed the 46th ranked prospect in the game, right-hander Jonah Tong, with a furious barrage on Thursday that knocked Tong out of the game in the second inning. They poured it on against the Mets bullpen, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. Max […]
Meet the Mets The Mets have now lost three in a row, as David Peterson simply didn’t have it in the team’s series opener in San Francisco last night. The Mets’ lineup continued to disappoint, too, in what wound up being a 7-2 loss. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Newsday, New York Post The new […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (3-2) TOLEDO 17, SYRACUSE 7 (BOX) Well, Jonah Tong’s second Triple-A start didn’t go as well as his first. The 22-year-old didn’t make it out of the second inning as he surrendered seven runs, four of them earned. The Syracuse bullpen didn’t fare any better than that the rest of the way, […]
After a rollicking start to the year on the west coast, the Yankees head back home to host the Marlins for a three-game set in the Bronx. The team’s starting rotation has been particularly dominant, holding the Giants and Mariners to just two runs in 34 innings as they helped lead New York to a […]

New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton will undoubtedly be a trade candidate to watch this offseason. It is no secret that Hamilton wants a change of scenery, while the Devils have tried to move him. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Hamilton during the offseason. San Jose Sharks The Sharks tried to acquire Hamilton last offseason, but the right-shot defenseman blocked a trade to San Jose. However, with the Sharks taking such a notable step...
If the regular season ended this morning, the New York Islanders would qualify for the playoffs by virtue of having more points, thanks to having played one more game, than Detroit, Columbus, or Philadelphia. Tonight that will not change but it can get either better or more fragile as they host the Flyers, who desperately […]
