Yanks can’t catch a break on replay. Not like they deserve one. Looked safe to me But have no problem keeping call on the field
Much needed win. Is it too much to ask for them to build on it and actually play well inside division. Big series on deck
That was not a fun 5 seconds watching Bellinger track that ball.
Yanks avoid worst case with Judge and prove they will be aggressive and continue to add. McMahon and Rosario is a big upgrade over Peraza and Vivas.That’s all that was needed offensively. Now go and make the real impact moves where they need it. Pitching!! Oh and win a game maybe
The Yankees have acquired INF Amed Rosario from the Nationals. Rosario, a RHB, has an .816 OPS vs LHP. He’s played 3B, 2B, SS and OF this season. Yanks will deal P Clayton Beeter and Browm Martinez, an OF in Dominican Summer Lg. Smart addition
Judge is dealing with an elbow issue and had trouble throwing the ball from the outfield last night, Boone said. He’s not in the starting lineup. Yankees awaiting imaging results.

Saturdays with C-Mac!! The trade deadline has begun. Mets add a BP arm (Soto) and win 5th in a row out west. Yanks pick up McMahon for 3rd and immediately show us why 3rd wasn’t the biggest problem as the pen gets pounded by Philly to start the series 9a-12:25p @WFAN660
Solid Point. While I don’t love the contract. By far the worst part of the deal. It is a sign Hal is willing to take on money.
Axisa "the trade also shows Hal Steinbrenner is okay adding payroll at the deadline. That hasn’t always been a given the last few years. (Joel Sherman says the Yankees are taking on the entire contract.)"
I’ll take another 30 year old DJ!!
👀👀 DJ LeMahieu home/road splits with Rockies: .834 OPS Home / .681 OPS Road Ryan McMahon home/road splits with Rockies: .818 OPS Home / .664 OPS Road
BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM!! The way it has to be!!
Back in the Bronx. #RepBX
People think this isn’t a major upgrade! Ok
Ryan McMahon .246/.332/.472 (.804 OPS) since May 1
McMahon's overall numbers this season are average at best, but he's been much better over the past six weeks. Since June 7, McMahon has 10 home runs and an .819 OPS in 39 games. He immediately becomes a huge upgrade at third base for the Yankees, and he's signed through 2027.
Suarez is going to cost too much and the Yankees offense isn’t the issue. Give me an excellent defender who isn’t a god awful bat and save big chips to impact pitching
Breaking: The Yankees are acquiring 3B Ryan McMahon from the Rockies, per source. Colorado will receive two prospects in return.
This was the move to me. An excellent defender and a major league hitter!! Thrust him into a playoff race and see if you get his best. The bigger moves for pitching MUST follow but solid start!!

Still can’t believe it.
"I think you’re crazy. I think you’re absolutely nuts. What if you lose the division by a game??" McMonigle could not believe a Mets fan called in and said he's rooting for the Phillies to sweep the Yankees this weekend! Listen to their back and forth: go.audacy.com/rQoPsCokgVb
Great point about Volpe going down to 1 knee on ground ball. He’s afraid to make mistakes! Dominguez is the same way. We talk about the laid back vibe Boone creates.I think its the opposite. He has created a team that’s tight as a drum!!Afraid of mistakes & trying to do too much.
"I think there's got to be some consideration or thought or talking about [Anthony Volpe] possibly going back down." Joe Maddon weighs in on recent struggles from the Yankees' shortstop and suggests acquiring a veteran shortstop for the short term.
The problem isn’t that Boone won’t admit it. Even if it drives us crazy. The problem is the roster is bad defensively. Rice is bad at 1st. Dominguez is awful in LF. Volpe has turned into a disaster and the catchers can’t throw anyone out. The point of the Pivot has been lost
McMonigle went off on the Yankees "embarrassing themselves" in Toronto, and says Aaron Boone is downplaying the defensive struggles: @CMacWFAN
Not sure there will be any singing today. Not after that Yankee embarrassment! We get Thursday morning going right now 2-5am @WFAN660
The ugliest game of the season on the biggest game of the season. Jays have a 4 game lead and with tie breaker it’s actually 5. They have a stranglehold on a division the yanks lead by 7 games 6 weeks ago. Things need to change fast.
Just an awful defensive team. With 2 arms in the pen you can trust. Not what you want
Brutal from Rice to allow that 2nd run of the inning. Have to make that play.
