Yesterday afternoon, Brian Cashman facilitated a trade for former NL MVP Andrew McCutchen in exchange for their 23rd and 26th-ranked prospects Abiatal Avelino and Juan De Paula. Gossip about a potential deal had persisted the night before, with Joel Sherman of the New York Post being the first to report. Initially, it was once thought …

Greg Bird is like a lottery ticket- you’re never going to win, but you keep on trying anyway. Through 73 games this year, Bird has registered a .679 OPS, good for 35th among first basemen with at least 250 plate appearances, and that includes a .435 OPS this month. Yet, …
There are 39 days to go until the NL Wild Card Game begins, which signals the conclusion of the regular season and the beginning of the grueling peregrination to the Fall Classic. This is the home stretch of the season for sure, and now the debate over which players deserve …
It’s been a week in Major League baseball that has featured acrimonious relations between players and umpires, from Zobrist’s comments to Justin Turner’s gripes. But even the turmoil between players and umpires cannot match the ever-intensifying playoff race, especially in the AL. It’s hardly been in copacetic order. After a walk-off win and a …
No, I am not saying this as a disgruntled Yankees fan. This is merely an objective perspective. Is it fair that the Yankees, a team on pace to win 102 games, is virtually guaranteed to be in the do-or-die wild card game while the Indians (on pace for 91 wins) …
As I mentioned in a previous article, any chances the Yankees had to intensify the race for AL East supremacy dwindled to infinitesimal levels. They are 8.5 games behind and appear positioned for another Wild Card game showdown. Yet, the baseball gods could be rewarding us in another way. If the …

While many fans (myself included) are currently preoccupied by the onslaught of the weekend series between the Yankees and Red Sox, today is a very somber day in Yankees history. Just 32 years old, the pilose MVP catcher and Yankees captain lost his life in a plane crash. Munson broke …
Anything said about the history of the Yankees and Red Sox rivalry can probably be considered a bromide at this juncture. But what cannot yet be said is the outcome of this upcoming series. As of the time of this post, the Red Sox own a 5.5 game lead over …
As of this moment, the Yankees are on pace to win 104 games, which would represent their highest win total since winning 103 in 2009, their last World Series championship. Yet, they find themselves 5.5 games behind Boston, which would mean that they would yet again be situated in the …
A bashful little boy let out impish, primal screams of victory upon seeing Yankees third baseman Scott Brosius successfully convert a 5-3 ground out for the final out in the decisive Game Four of the 1998 World Series, all occurring on the night of October 21st, 1998. Though only two …
