The best part of this World Cup so far might honestly be watching European fans discover regular American life.
The World Cup might accidentally become the best American tourism campaign we’ve ever had. 🇺🇸
@theaceofspaeder out of pure curiosity, who are your top 5 current GMs in MLB? As someone as data-minded as you, I'm interested to hear which current GMs you view as the best in class.
John Sterling is as much a part of the fabric of the New York Yankees organization as any player. It was an honor to have him call every one of my games during my career and an absolute pleasure to get to know him on a personal basis. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He will be deeply missed.

It's unfair to Volpe, but you can see why fans are displeased.
@TalkinYanks lol the implication y’all are trying to make is obvious. Never give up a chance to hate on Volpe?
Forget that Lombard has been playing for weeks and had time to warm up and this is Volpe’s first game. Also that Lombard had a error that led to a run. But you have an agenda I guess
McMahon is 31, owed $16m/per year ('26&'27). Declining defense YoY, poor running, 29.3% K rate. If the Yankees are hunting a WS, how does he fit? Genuinely asking.
@kroghma7@SharpStats17 He's averaging 1.76 fWAR per 162 throughout his career. A career 88 wRC+. Below average base running. His peak defensive season was 2021.
What is the point in saying this?
"Give him 100 ABs, and he'll be slightly less worse of a hitter than he is currently?"
