Before surrendering prospects on the trade market for a catcher (Goodman, Jeffers, Torrens, perhaps Langeliers, among top targets), maybe the Yankees should give JC Escarra, (1.055 ops at aaa) another look.
As they should. They need to make several trades and need to be aggressive. Go get Mason Miller. Either get Goodman, Jeffers or Shea. Catcher is a must trade for. Go get an outfield bat as well.
Mets still suck and the Red Sox’s recent success is not sustainable. That’s just the ups and downs of a baseball season. Red Sox’s will go back to losing again at some point. Still a bad roster.
#Redsox:
- Fire Cora and turn it around
#Phillies:
- Fire Thompson and turn it around
#Mets:
- Fire Mendoza and are playing a lot better
#Yankees:
- Keep Boone and from June on continue to spiral for the 4th season in a row
When is Hal Steinbrenner going to realize that he needs to make a change at GM and Manager? If he can’t realize that, he needs to sell the team. Not just a percentage of it.
I respect Cavalli more after this. Yes he screwed up badly saying what he said for Contreras. But this shows how much he regrets it and how good of a person he is.
“It’s been hard to sleep… I want to spread love in this world… I hope he’s doing okay.”

I don’t think the Giants players respect Tony Vitello. Yes it’s great that Devers does want to come out of the game but players don’t show up their manager on the field if they respect them. This hire has been disastrous and it’s not surprising.
Tony Vitello on Rafael Devers not wanting to come out of the game in the ninth inning:
“I’d rather have guys like Webb that you have to rip them off the field, as opposed to vice versa.”

According to Jon Heyman of the NY Post, the #Tigers are all over #Yankees #1 and #2 prospects, SS George Lombard Jr, and RHP Carlos Lagrange.
The likelihood of Detroit moving Tarik Skubal is increasing by the day. The Tigers sit at 30-44 entering Friday.
Peterson is dead wrong. NFL teams have 53 man rosters and the cap is not an issue. So making the comparison to basketball is a terrible comparison. MLB needs a salary cap. I side with the owners.
The Athletic's @WillSammon got Juan Soto's thoughts on MLB's first proposal of a $245.3 million salary cap.
From Will: "If the salary cap proposed in Major League Baseball’s first offer this week were to take effect next season, more than 20 percent of the New York Mets’ theoretical cap space would account for just one player: Juan Soto."
Soto: “Baseball is doing great. We’ve been increasing every year. It’s been great for baseball. We are in the best moment in baseball right now in all kinds of ways. Why should we have a cap?”
Mets union representative David Peterson: "It works in basketball in that way because they don’t have as many guys, so you have a lot less guys for the pot to go around, and that’s a league where one or two people on the team pretty much sell the team. That’s a lot harder to do in baseball.”
