There’s no good time for a night like the Yankees had defensively. But this one rendered their sure-thing playoff ace and two homers from their newest playoff star irrelevant. Inexplicable. Maybe, eventually, insurmountable. sny.tv/articles/yan...

Yankees' defensive miscues wipe away golden opportunity to even ALDS
The Yankees played such historically porous defense Monday that they rendered their most dominant playoff ace in a generation completely irrelevant with several defensive misplays including four error...

Wells stood by the decision to go to third because he was “trying to make something happen.” Boone called it “a mistake.” Either way, given that they’ll have to see him again this series, Yankees futility against Drew Rasmussen is a much bigger problem. sny.tv/articles/yan...

Yankees' loss to Rays in Game 1 of ALDS should not fall solely on Austin Wells' shoulders
For the second time in as many weeks – though with far greater stakes this time – Drew Rasmussen carved through the Yankees lineup so effectively that he carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning. S...

If there is any consolation for the Yankees in Aaron Judge not being ready, it is that Ben Rice spent half this season learning how to make sure the Yankees offense survives and advances anyway. sny.tv/articles/yan...

Ben Rice has Yankees on brink of ALDS with MVP-type performance in Game 1 win
Ben Rice did it all for the Yankees on Tuesday night. He provided the offense and turned their Game 1 win into a laugher to preserve the bullpen.

Anthony Volpe recently hired the Boras Corporation to represent him, according to a person familiar with the situation. @ragazzoreport mentioned this first. Found it interesting.

Just want to thank everyone in Mets world who followed along, put up with my puns, forgave the fact that I also cover the Yankees, and nodded along knowingly every time I experienced the kind of crazy Mets moments that barely faze you anymore. I’m grateful to be here with you.

Francisco Lindor. No. 300. Followed by a big hug from Juan Soto at home plate.

Mets and Derek Falvey are close to an agreement that would bring him to the front office, per multiple people familiar with the situation. Former Twins exec, close Stearns ally from Cleveland. @WillSammon first

The Mets have named Andy Green their full-time manager. Three-year deal. Interim no more.

Devin Williams is active. Christian Scott goes to the IL with knee inflammation. That’ll do it on a solid first full season for Scott, who enters 2027 as a key piece of Mets rotation.

Boone said Clarke Schmidt underwent testing on his biceps after the cramping the other day. Asked if it showed anything, he said “not much.” Pressed on whether that meant it showed something, he said nothing significant. Schmidt will play catch today to determine next steps

Boone said Judge has a “moderate” strain in the calf. Said the grade doesn’t matter because If he is able to play, he will play. But no activity for the next few days after the injection.

Aaron Boone said Judge got a PPP injection. Admitted the Yankees are not planning on Judge being ready for the Wild Card series, but wouldn’t rule it out.

Congratulations and all my respect to Howie Rose. So lucky to have spent even a short amount of time around him, a true baseball treasure. Relentlessly respectful, kind, and humble. Treats everyone like an equal even though he has none. What a career.

As Carlos Beltran's past is honored, if Mets manager is his future many believe he's capable
Carlos Beltran was honored Saturday with a place in the Mets Hall of Fame and his No. 15 retired. But ask anyone, and they'll say that Beltran could succeed as the team's next manager if he wants to.

No one deserves to suffer a scary injury but man, Jared Young has been such a delight this year. So humble and kind. I asked him recently if he feels like a veteran or comfortable yet here with all the young guys around him. He just laughed. Of course not. Too much left to prove.

Curtain call for Pete Alonso at Citi Field. Wow. Honestly, the bat heave alone was worthy of one.

Pete Alonso lingered in the Mets’ batting cage before Monday’s game giving hugs and joking with his old teammates. Hadn’t seen that before. Hadn’t seen what followed from the Citi Field crowd before, either. sny.tv/articles/met...

Turns out that when Lindor, Soto, and Bichette are all in the lineup, the 2026 Mets offense is actually pretty good.

David Stearns said: - Still expects Andy Green to return to the front office as of now - Hasn’t talked to Bichette about his opt-out yet - front office is in the process of figuring out priorities for the offseason - acknowledged their pitching depth wasn’t good enough early

Today I learned that Nick Morabito played on a Gonzaga College High School football team quarterbacked by a guy named Caleb Williams.

Good for Robert Stock getting out of that jam while throwing a scoreless game against a first-place team with his spot in the rotation effectively on the line. Just a huge win for 30-somethings who spend way too much time on the baseball internet.

Chelsea Janes @chelseajanes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Andy Green says Nick Morabito and Justin Hagenman will be September call ups, and Hagenman will pitch the last game of the Rays series. Want to give Scott and others an extra day of rest down the stretch, which makes sense.

My greatest regret of Luis Robert Jr.’s Mets tenure is that he never stuck quite enough to make the nickname “LuBob” happen publicly, even though teammates used it behind the scenes. An all-timer IMO.

The Baltimore Orioles are claiming Luis Robert Jr. off waivers, according to multiple people familiar with the situation.

It’s been a crazy year for Bo Bichette. But with a month to go in his first season as a Met, his importance to their lineup and clubhouse continues to evolve. sny.tv/articles/met...

With opt-out on table, Bo Bichette's Mets future up in air
Bo Bichette might not be with the Mets next year as he weighs an opt-out. He might be as important to them next season as anyone. How quickly things change in the big leagues.

Chelsea Janes @chelseajanes.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Andy Green said Mets intended for Juan Soto to get more activity on the field today, but because of the rain it’s going to have to be mostly inside work. They’ll see how he does after that and “make a determination” about what’s next tomorrow.

With groundswell of enthusiasm for Andy Green to remain Mets manager, his future appears set for front office return
As of this moment, Mets interim manager Andy Green's plan to return to the front office after the season remains intact. Exactly what role he will play is the question.

Juan Soto is hitting off a real pitcher at Citi Field right now. Had heard Sept. 1 as a loose target for his return, though everyone is careful about giving timelines because obviously they can change. Either way, if he’s hitting live, he’s certainly getting closer.

Luis Garcia Jr. is 4 for 4 and a triple away from the cycle with multiple massive hits for the Yankees tonight. Was not an obvious fit in many ways, but has been a clear difference-maker.

Max Fried says he’s throwing off a mound tomorrow and the plan is to be back in 15 days. Said battling his mechanics all year led to this injury and he thinks the offseason will allow him to eradicate it, but in the meantime just needs to correct the mechanics during IL stint.

Steve Cohen said he thinks the Mets adopted too much risk as they rebuilt themselves this offseason. It’s probably too early to read into what that might foretell for this winter, so naturally that’s exactly what I did. On the tea leaves: sny.tv/articles/met...

I don’t know if the Mets can still have big wins, but the Padres arrived as the hottest team in baseball, and that the Mets just took two out of three from them, so by the transitive property, that win means the Mets are now the hottest team in baseball.

Mets put Polanco back on the IL with left ankle bursitis. Not a huge surprise given how much he was struggling to get his feet under him, figuratively and literally.

Chelsea Janes @chelseajanes.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
Max Fried still throwing, Aaron Judge starting hitting, and Bellinger starting a rehab assignment Thursday seems like a decent outcome for the Yankees given how things felt when the Fried news broke last night.

Chelsea Janes @chelseajanes.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
Yankees just announced they placed LHP Max Fried on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to 8/14) with a left elbow bone bruise. Huge blow. Answers the big question that lingered when it happened the first time: If it comes from throwing, won’t it just… happen again?

Mets churn on the margins of the infield continues: They call up Christopher Morel and designate Gabriel Arias for assignment. Morel has a 1.098 OPS for Syracuse since Mets signed him in June.
