Giving up 16 runs to this Yankees lineup? Boston should fold the franchise

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

Good thing the Yankees picked up no relievers at the deadline

[Talkin' Yanks @TalkinYanks]

Tommy John surgery is a possibility for Fernando Cruz, who will get a second opinion after being diagnosed with a partial UCL tear

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

The most glaring needs were not addressed 😂

[JackCurryYES @JackCurryYES]

Garcia, Jr and Ramos are the Yankees deadline additions. They are done.

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

Is anyone surprised? This is what they do. Horrific situational hitting, and it gets 10x worse in extra innings

[Talkin' Yanks @TalkinYanks]

Yankees had a runner on third with no outs in the 12th and failed to score

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

Another reason why the expanded playoff system sucks. Every mediocre team thinks they're good.

[Jon Heyman @JonHeyman]

Twins say they are looking to improve the team after walkoff win gets them to .500, 1/2 game back in the AL wild card race. So they’re buyers. Which means Joe Ryan and Ryan Jeffers aren’t going anywhere.

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

We should be so lucky to lose him on waivers

[Phil Kocher @PhilKocher]

"Rempe will need to clear waivers this year to go to the AHL, so don’t be surprised if New York wants to avoid risking losing him for nothing and keeps him on the active roster to start the year." #NYR

@vjscarps79 @BlueshirtBanter No one is arguing about Fox lol

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

A $7.45M AAV in a rising cap world for a mid-20s player who has already proven he's good for 55-60 points, if not more, is...bad?

Best & Worst Contracts for Every Team 👀✍️
New York Rangers

Best: Adam Fox - 7 x $9.5M 💰

Worst: Alexis Lafreniere - 7 x $7.45M 💰

I'm not sure what Gavrikov thought he was getting himself into

[Phil Kocher @PhilKocher]

"There are still whispers that [Gavrikov is] not super happy with the direction of #NYR ... if things go bad, is he going to be a guy in Drury's office saying I think I'd like to go somewhere else in year two of a seven-year deal?" — @StapeNHL (Rangers Recon, 7/20/26)

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

LOL Aaron Boone

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

@NickYoung534754 Jessica had plenty of local talent. But otherwise, yeah, Britney is by far the biggest star

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

@nohopeleague I had to stop reading his stuff. Just absurdly bad takes, over and over. I'm pretty sure he once said K'Andre Miller's skating was average or below average

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

Couldn't think of a worse choice for the PBP

[Mike Straw @MikeStrawMedia]

John Buccigross and Darren Pang are the new broadcast team in NHL 27.

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

A little steep for a third-pair D who isn't good, but at least it's just one year. Feels like a good chance they'll trade him during the season.

I wonder what the plan is for Morrow. Everyone says he isn't a good defender...but NYR didn't give him much of a shot.

[Vince Z. Mercogliano @vzmercogliano]

#NYR have agreed to a one-year, $5.5M deal with Braden Schneider, per source.

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

Oh no Egypt 😭

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

@NYRChip23 I know lol. I just really favor good puck movers, probably to a fault.

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

Trade Schneider for a forward

Let Morrow be the third-pair RD

Profit

[Tom Dianora @tom_dianora]

It's truly incredible how many people say "offsides" instead of "offside." Drives me nuts
