Go Rays!
After such a promising start to this pivotal four-game series against the Rays, the Yankees ceded that ground back thanks to a disappointing start from Will Warren in which he allowed three home runs in four innings. It means that the Bombers can no longer finish this series tied for the division lead – something […]
The American League East race continues Wednesday night as the New York Yankees look to rebound against the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays in the third game of a pivotal four-game series. How to Watch Yankees vs Rays The Yankees have…
There was a moment where the Yankees’ hopes of turning their deficit around in one series burned a little brighter on Tuesday, as Ben Rice launched a three-run home run to give them a one-run lead in the third inning. Unfortunately, an inning later those hopes were dashed when the Rays scored four runs and […]
The Yankees lost to the Rays, 6-4. Many fans of...
There’s no getting around how grisly the Yankees’ offense is right now, outside of a resurgent Ben Rice. They struck out 17 times for the second night in a row and set a team record with 34 K’s across a two-game span. Yikes! Even though there were more hits than the lineup had come by […]
Coming off three consecutive losses, the Tampa Bay Rays were needing to bounce back against the Yankees on Tuesday night and they did just that behind a stellar performance by Ian Seymour and production from the bottom of the lineup. Having dropped game one of the four game set on Monday night, the Rays sent […]
For all the ink that has been (rightfully) spilled about a struggling Yankees’ offense, the once-dominant starting rotation has gone under the radar in the blame game for the team’s poor play over the past two weeks. While injuries to Max Fried and Carlos Rodón have certainly thinned things out, the results speak for themselves […]
Go Rays!
We won a game yesterday. We win one today; that’s two in a row. We win one tomorrow; that’s called a winning streak. It has happened before. It’s been two weeks since the Yankees won back-to-back games, but they’ll have the opportunity to do so tonight after an inspiring effort in the first game of […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies are among the favorites to trade for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. These realistic trade packages make sense for each team.

Cam Schlittler grew up a fan of the Boston Red Sox. Now, he's the greatest enemy of Red Sox fans. The New York Yankees' ace continues to walk the walk, however.
Another day, another pitching addition for the Cubs. As first reported by Marquee’s Lance Brozdowski, the Cubs have signed lefty Josh Fleming to a minor league deal after he was released by the Blue Jays over the weekend. The 30-year-old was drafted by the Rays in the fourth round back in 2017 and made his … The post Cubs Sign LHP Josh Fleming to Minors Deal appeared first on .
Let’s start with the good news: The Rays are selecting No. 2 overall in the upcoming MLB Draft for 2026. Based on history, it’s hard to make a bad selection at second overall. Although these picks don’t receive the notoriety of the name called just seconds before, they are still considered among the top amateur […]
The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays have the same problem, and they are both eyeing the same solution. Per CBS Sports, both AL East rivals are pursuing Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, setting up the possibility of a division bidding war for the best backstop available before the August 3 trade deadline. Why Both Teams Need Him The Yankees have gotten historically bad production from the catcher position, with their catchers posting a 42 wRC+ that ranks dead last in baseball, and ...
Caballero translates into “gentleman” in Spanish, but former Rays utility player Jose Caballero was anything but gentlemanly in his return to his former home park this evening with two no-doubt and well-celebrated trips around the bases supplying two of the three hits on the evening for the Yankees in their 5-1 victory. Through the first […]
Baseball is beautiful, but more importantly it is extremely weird. With how poorly the Yankees have played over the last fortnight, if I had told you they would only manage three hits in Monday’s series opener with the Rays, many of you would have skipped tomorrow’s game out of disgust. They did only get three […]

I hate playing the Rays at the best of times, and doubly so when we have to watch games at the Trop. That this series, a four-game set with Tampa enjoying a four-game lead in the AL East, is of outsized importance for the Yankees’ playoff trajectory and is also coming at a time the […]
