Unlike the Yankees, who couldn’t muster enough grit after falling behind two games to none, the Guardians have scratched and clawed their way back from the brink of elimination to force Game 5. They won both games in Chicago in decisive fashion, scoring nine runs on consecutive nights to send the series back to Cleveland […]

Another year, another disappointing postseason exit for the Yankees, who were swept by the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL Division Series after another frustrating and heartbreaking defeat on Wednesday night. The Bombers haven’t won it all since 2009, and they are evidently falling behind other organizations in recent years despite their high payroll. What’s […]
The New York Yankees could finally be motivated to let Aaron Boone go after another early playoff exit, and these five candidates could take his job.
Yesterday was the first day of the Yankees’ offseason. I appreciated the serenity honestly. Would it have been great for the Yankees to still be playing? Yeah, probably, if not only because the sweeps are so embarrassing. But I didn’t have a ton of confidence that this particular Yankees team would find a way to […]
The Ringer | Ben Glicksman: The Yankees have, famously, not beaten a team seeded higher than them in October under Aaron Boone’s leadership*. There are a number of structural problems with the organization, and it’s never entirely clear how much influence any manager has in MLB in 2026, but a case is starting to be […]

Dear Diary, why is the richest team in baseball on a budget and why are all the expensive players hurt all the time? The Yankees, worth an estimated $8 Billion, where eliminated in the American League Division series by the Tampa Bay Rays on October 7th. They were swept off the field, as Aaron Judge […]
It was another postseason flop for the New York Yankees. They head home after being dispatched by the Tampa Bay Rays in a sweep in the ALDS—three straight games. Certainly, injuries played a role in the Yankees' failings this season, as Aaron Judge wasn't even available in their two playoff series due to a strained right calf. Without their (and the AL's) MVP, they simply didn't have enough offense, scoring only five runs in the three games. As we can usually expect when they...
Despite going without superstar right fielder Aaron Judge for most of the season, the Yankees won 93 games and earned a playoff berth. They swept the archrival Red Sox in the Wild Card round, but the Yankees were then the victims of a sweep against another AL East foe – the division champion Rays – […]
The best hitter in the lineup, Aaron Judge, could only watch from the dugout as the Tampa Bay Rays swept the New York Yankees in the ALDS. Even with Judge on the team, the Yankees lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024 and dropped the ALDS 3-1 in 2025. But this […]

Three division series finished up yesterday, as the Dodgers and Brewers advanced to the NLCS, and the Rays completed a sweep of the Yankees to claim a spot in the ALCS.

Dear Diary, the Yankees were eliminated on October 7 by their division rival Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees were swept and that was the second time in less than a month the Rays celebrated on the field at Yankee Stadium. The effort was pathetic, and there were several problems with the lineup, and the $300 […]
For me, one of the most memorable moments from the 2010 Texas Rangers playoff run — the season the Rangers won a playoff series for the first time ever, the season the Rangers went to the World Series for the first time ever — is a scene from a play where things went bad for […]

The veteran first baseman told reporters, including Jon Heyman of the New York Post, that he’d like to continue playing beyond this year. Goldschmidt turned 39 years old in early […]

The New York Yankees never held a lead during their ALDS sweep against the AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays. An offense that managed just five runs across three losses and a defense that repeatedly gave away opportunities left the Yankees little to no chance of recovering. Wednesday’s 4-3 defeat ended the season, but responsibility […]
