    1. Sounds good. I’m no jazz expert. I listen to WBGO when I’m not listening to WFUV. My person fav is Monk, he is truly unique. Also a fan of female jazz vocalists.

      I saw Los Lobos at Battery Park 2 weeks ago and that was a fun concert.

  1. Remember when cashman traded Chapman for Gleyber and then just re-signed him 3 months later? I strongly recommend they do the same with Soto. Call him in, tell him you want him on a Yankee WS winning team which will only happen if he agrees to be traded. Get a bunch of top prospects and voila. We are not winning anything with this team anyway.

    Exactly what they should have done with Cano in 2013. Instead they did nothing, couldn’t sign him
    And then blew the money on Elsbury.

    1. You trade Soto when you’re 1.5 games out of first and you’ll never see Soto again. What the Yankees and Hal have to do is prove to Soto that they are committed to winning, like the Dodgers did with Ohtani. Would Soto defer some money? I think unless Soto loves being part of Yankee mystique and history, only righting the ship now will help.

  2. @nyyankeestats The Yankees combined .618 OPS by leadoff/cleanup hitters is the lowest by any team since the 1992 California Angels (.611) x.com/paulhembo/stat…

    Their leadoff/cleanup hitters are slashing .215/.273/.345 this season.
    That is the worst batting line (.618 OPS) by any teams’s leadoff/cleanup hitters in the last THIRTY YEARS!

    But Nevertheless Brian Cashman is one of the five best GMs in baseball.

  3. Giancarlo returns from injury first ten games on return last four years:

    2023 – 132/233/316
    2022 – 105/209/315
    2021 – 206/290/412(boosted by games 9+10 where he went 5/10)
    2020 – 200/300/400 (last 9 of season)

  4. O’s win after blowing a 6-1 8th inning lead against a terrible Marlins team (Kimbrel allowed three runs in the ninth again).

    As shitty as the Yankees are, the Orioles are trying their best to keep the Yankees in it.

    1. Honestly light years better than I’d have thought.

      I AM NOT WATCHING TONIGHT.
      DO NOT WATCH.
      DO NOT WATCH.
      Do not watch…

  5. Smith Brickner on most likely prospects to be moved at the deadline

    SB: I think there’s a case for Zach Messinger and Jace Avina to be moved on the lower end, with Will Warren and (unfortunately) Agustin Ramirez on the higher end. As bland as Spencer’s season has been, I only see him moving for a Crochet/Skubal-type return.

  6. Rail Riders: #1 Prospect is BACK! 👽

    OF Jasson Domínguez has been activated from the IL and will be batting leadoff in tonight’s 6:35 P.M. game against the @WooSox. Stick around for fireworks after the final out!

    1. They love the effort they’re getting from Vertigo and Grisham. It’s all in front of them.

  7. Verdugo (L) RF last 28 days 169/216/265 Genius move by Boone to lower cumulative leadoff OPS
    J Soto (L) LF
    A Judge (R) DH
    A Wells (L) C
    G Torres (R) 2B
    B Rice (L) 1B
    A Volpe (R) SS
    T Grisham (L) CF
    O Cabrera (S) 3B No DJ

  8. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Stanton (hamstring) is aiming to return for Monday’s series opener against the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Without any rehab games! He will almost make us wish DJ was the DH.

  9. “But when he reached free agency for the first time, the Rays jumped to give the Orlando-area native the largest free-agent contract in franchise history: three years and $40 million.”

    Largest. Ever.
    And they’ve certainly competed with the Yankees.
    So much depends upon a red wheelbarrow.
