“That’s a Horrible Call”: Yankees Broadcaster Stunned as Jose Caballero Continues to Face Controversial Umpiring Decisions

And here comes another instance of controversial umpiring. José Caballero had already drawn league scrutiny for his pitch-clock routine, and during the Pittsburgh Pirates matchup earlier in the week, it became the focus of a bench-clearing incident. This time, though, the New York Yankees shortstop was left shaking his head in disbelief once again after […] The post “That’s a Horrible Call”: Yankees Broadcaster Stunned as Jose Caballero Continues to Face Controversial Umpiring Decisions appe...

Bought and Sold

 Like we said - why not both.  Bats for arms.  Mead for Early In losing Mead they lose a power bat whose prospect history suggests could keep this up.  The major league results are spottier but he’s young enough you can see a team still buying into scouting In gaining Early the get a rotation worthy arm who’s probably more a 3/4 but a 3/4 with lots of control left.  A spot that doesn’t have to be filled with cash or FA gambles.  That is if he can stay healthy. He ...

AL East Notes: Bellinger, Suarez, Bassitt, Basallo, Matz

Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger was removed in the bottom of the eighth inning against the Phillies on Saturday with a hamstring injury. He’s set to undergo testing. Bellinger downplayed the issue after the game. “It just feels a little tight,” Bellinger told reporters, relayed by Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. “I really don’t think it’s anything […]

Yankees win third straight behind Weathers’ strong start

And just like that, the team’s on a winning streak again. The Yankees once again paired an excellent outing from their starting pitching, some zeroes from the high-leverage relief arms, and just enough hitting to get by on Saturday night. After that tough weekend facing the Dodgers, the club’s won their second straight series, with […]

The offense, it’s offensive: Yankees 3, Phillies 1

When the Phillies struggle on offense as a collective, there is usually a simple recipe for it: Wash, rinse, repeat. The offense is in the middle of one of those stretches right now where everyone is trying to do too much, swinging at bad pitches, trying to hit a seven run home run and now, […]

It sounds like Brandon Marsh is being platooned again

PHILADELPHIA — Brandon Marsh’s run as an everyday player in the Phillies lineup is over for now. Marsh is out of the lineup Saturday against New York Yankees left-handed starter Ryan Weathers. The Phillies are once again going with an all right-handed hitting outfield with Edmundo Sosa in left, Derek Hill in center and Bryan […]

New York Yankees @ Philadelphia Phillies: Ryan Weathers vs. Tim Mayza

After an absolute gem of a start last night, we turn now to a lefty-lefty matchup today at Citizen’s Bank Park — at least for the first inning. Tim Mayza will play the role of opener for the Phillies, before giving way to the MLB debut of former Yankee draftee Brian Keller. Ryan Weathers will […]

Yankees, Brewers Have Shown Interest In CJ Abrams

Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams has drawn some trade interest from the Yankees and is “expected to” get some interest from the Brewers as well, as per The Athletic’s Spencer Nusbaum and Will Sammon.  Milwaukee reportedly also looked into acquiring Abrams from Washington last offseason, Nusbaum/Sammon write, but talks went nowhere due to the very high […]

Everett Scott and the worst season on a Yankees championship team

They’ve certainly been a frustrating watch at several points this season, but by definition, the Yankees are currently a contender in 2026. They’re neck and neck with the Rays for the lead in both the AL East and the AL in total. Now, you may have your doubts about whether that record will then translate […]

Yankees potential trade target: Tyler Stephenson

The Yankees’ catching situation is one of the worst in baseball. Austin Wells has developed into an excellent framer and a solid defensive player overall, but he just can’t seem to produce anything offensively. It’s incredibly frustrating how one of the most promising prospects in the early 2020s and a Rookie of the Year finalist […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Doug Drabek

Good news: the Yankees acquired a future Cy Young Award winner as the Player To Be Named Later in a deal in 1984 that sent their 31-year-old veteran first baseman to the Chicago White Sox. Bad news: the Yankees traded said Cy Young winner away long before he won the greatest accolade of his career. […]

The Opener: Skubal, Marlins, Rangers, Mariners

Cam Schlittler recorded 12 strikeouts with no walks and only three hits allowed over 7 1/3 shutout innings in the Yankees’ 1-0 win over the Phillies on Friday.  It was one of the most dominant starts yet in Schlittler’s fantastic season, as the right-hander now has a 2.07 ERA, 30.5% strikeout rate, and 4.9% walk […]

Yankees potential trade target: Reid Detmers

The Los Angeles Angels are a mess, and are likely best served by opening the floodgates this trade deadline. They leaked on Thursday that they are interested in trading shortstop Zack Neto, but perhaps the single most-likely-to-be-dealt player on the entire market is lefty starter Reid Detmers. Detmers just turned 27 and is under team […]
