Yanks pitching caught between a rock and a hard place

Yanks pitching caught between a rock and a hard place

Photo by Cooper Neill/MLB Photos via The Yankees opted out of the pitching market this offseason, and it could come back to haunt them. On Tuesday night, the news came out that Jordan Montgomery would be signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks, joining them on a surely-disappointing (for him) one-year, $25 million deal with a vesting option based on his number of 2023 starts. With that, this offseason’s solid and long drawn out pitching market closes, save for a few supplementary players still out there. The Yankees, who will be without reigning American League Cy...

New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros: Series preview

New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros: Series preview

Photo by Adam Hunger/ The Bombers open up the 2024 season in Houston for an all-too-familiar matchup. Our long national nightmare is over, and the regular season is just about upon us. The Yankees wrapped up their spring schedule on Tuesday, and have headed down to Houston to kick off the 2024 season against the Astros. We won’t be seeing Gerrit Cole on Opening Day like we hoped, but these are real games with real stakes, and there is much to be excited about. Thursday: Nestor Cortes vs. Framber Valdez (4:10 pm ET) Behind the injured Cole, Nestor Cortes gets the nod...

Yankees 3, Diablos Rojos 4: Robbie Canó, don’t ya know?

Yankees 3, Diablos Rojos 4: Robbie Canó, don’t ya know?

Photo by Manuel Velasquez/ The former Yankee great gets some revenge on his old squad. The Major League Baseball regular season began last week in Seoul, South Korea, and continuing on that trend, the Yankees headed down to Mexico City to continue their spring exhibition schedule. The home team got the better of New York in a 4-3 victory highlighted by the feats of one of their stars of yore. Mariano Rivera threw out the first pitch, to begin what would be some exciting international baseball south of the border. The Yankees went down quietly in the first against...

NYY @ DIA: Mexico Series G1

Photo by Jam Media/ The Yanks head south for an exhibition series with the Diablos Rojos. While some Yankee players are still in Florida tuning up for the season, a good portion of the spring squad is off to Mexico City to take on the Diablos Rojos. Just a few days from the start of the regular season, the Bombers will continue their exhibition schedule in one of the world’s biggest cities, against a squad boasting some familiar faces. Tanner Tully will be taking the bump for the Yankees, who has done a nice job in limited time this spring. In three games (one start),...

2024 Preview: Rangers

Photo by Christian Petersen/ The defending World Series champs look to run it back in the West. We, as fans of baseball, should be happy about what the Texas Rangers did in 2023. Over the few seasons leading up to their World Series win, they were not exactly in the traditional win-now position, but there were good players available in free agency, so they paid some money, and guess what? Those very same players helped lead them to the franchise’s first World Series victory in just a few seasons. The Rangers roster in 2024 is mostly the same as the one that hoisted...

Yankees 1, Blue Jays 8: Toronto regulars too much for Yanks

Yankees 1, Blue Jays 8: Toronto regulars too much for Yanks

Miguel J. Rodriguez Carrillo/VIEWpress The Jays ran it up and never looked back in Dunedin as the B-squad came up short. With three consecutive spring wins behind them, the Yankees headed back to Dunedin on Tuesday to take on the Blue Jays. It was a tough matchup, as Toronto gave José Berríos the ball, and the Yanks were running out a lineup filled almost entirely with non-regulars. The effects showed, as the offense remained mostly quiet, while the Jays were able to string hits together at the right times. The Yankees got right to work in the first inning against...

NYY @ TOR: Dennis Santana vs. José Berríos

Miguel J. Rodriguez Carrillo/VIEWpress The Bombers head back to Dunedin for a match with Berríos and the Jays. In the wake of a banged-up Aaron Judge and the news of a possibly injured Gerrit Cole, the show simply must go on. For the second time in five days, the Yankees head to Dunedin to take on the Blue Jays. Their last appearance at TD Ballpark was a quiet one at the plate, but they’ve won three of four since, and look to keep it rolling Tuesday afternoon. The Yankees are tabbing 27-year-old Dennis Santana for his first start of the spring today. He was brought...

Yankees 1, Blue Jays 2: Stro’s mini-spring no-no

Yankees 1, Blue Jays 2: Stro’s mini-spring no-no

Photo by J. Conrad Williams Jr./Newsday RM via The Yankees’ starter spun four no-hit innings, but there was little offense to speak of on Friday afternoon in Dunedin. Aside from the headline offseason acquisition of Juan Soto, the Yankees’ next-biggest move of the offseason was signing Marcus Stroman to bolster the rotation. He’s been a solidly above-average starter in the big leagues for a decade now, and although it’s only spring training, he’s had a promising beginning to his time in pinstripes. Stroman got the starting nod on Friday against Toronto’s...

NYY @ TOR: Marcus Stroman vs. Chris Bassitt

Photo by J. Conrad Williams Jr./Newsday RM via The Bombers and Jays’ mid-rotation starters clash in some Friday Grapefruit action. The Yankees are taking a trip to Dunedin for their third matchup of the spring with the Blue Jays. A pair of veteran righties are taking the bump in this AL East contest, Marcus Stroman for the Yanks, and Chris Bassitt for the Jays. Stroman is making the third (unofficial) start of his Yankee career, as he looks to continue what’s been a nice spring for him. The 32-year-old has tossed 6.1 innings in total, giving up a pair of earned...

2024 Preview: Rockies

2024 Preview: Rockies

Photo by Rachel O’Driscoll/Colorado Rockies/ At a mile high, the vibes are pretty low. The Colorado Rockies have sadly begun to stand alone at the bottom of baseball’s totem pole at the present moment. It’s not only due to their lack of success, but also for their often confounding and nondirectional decision-making as a franchise. In a division that features the defending National League champs, the consensus World Series favorites, and two other formidable ballclubs, the Rockies stick out in the potent NL West. They haven’t finished above .500 since 2018,...

Yankees 2024 Season Preview: Carlos Rodón

Yankees 2024 Season Preview: Carlos Rodón

Photo by New York Yankees/ The lefty needs a rebound in 2024 like we need oxygen. Amid the Aaron Judge drama last offseason, the Yankees shelled out another nine-figure deal, a six-year, $162 million one to Carlos Rodón. He was coming off of two seasons as one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball, and earned that huge deal with the Yanks. Despite this, Rodón’s first season in pinstripes was a disaster. Between chronic injuries and downright bad performance, the left-hander needs a bounce back campaign in the worst way, and so do the Yankees. 2023 Stats: 14 GS,...

2024 Preview: Red Sox

Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/ A third consecutive last place finish could be on tap for the middling Sox. Now three seasons removed from a surprising ALCS run in 2021, the Boston Red Sox find themselves in a difficult middle ground. In the two seasons since that playoff run, the Sox have gone a mediocre 78-84 in both seasons, each earning a last place finish in the American League East. With a mix of veteran talent and some youth, their current roster doesn’t exactly project to break out of this baseball middle class, particularly in such a tough...
