The Yankees can no longer only worry about the Rays in the AL East. Coming off an unexpected postseason berth, the Blue Jays have decided to surround their young, very good and inexpensive core with established major leaguers. The Blue Jays added former Yankee Kirby Yates to the back end of their bullpen and then went and gave George Springer a six-year, $150 million contract.

The Rangers followed up their impressive shutout win over the Islanders with a loss to the Devils to finish their season-opening, three-game homestand. The Rangers outplayed the Devils and controlled the game for much of the night, but the few minutes they took off and the few lapses they had all seemed to lead to Devils goals. Now the Rangers find themselves needing to bounce back quickly with a two-game series in Pittsburgh this weekend.

The Yankees are reportedly close to re-signing DJ LeMahieu and have signed Corey Kluber to a reclamation contract. Even still, the lineup is the same as last year's, the rotation is less and the bullpen is essentially the same, and the team wasn't good enough to win the World Series with that roster. They weren't even good enough to get out of the division series.

Andrew Rotondi of Bronx Pinstripes joined me to talk about the state of the Yankees with less than a month to go until the scheduled start of spring training. Things get heated for a team that hasn't played a game in more than three months.

After getting embarrassed and shut out at the Garden on opening night, the Rangers bounced back with a 5-0 blowout win over the Islanders. Mike Carver of the Isle Seat Podcast joined me to talk about the two-game series between the rivals to begin the season.

The Rangers were embarrassed and shut out in a 4-0 season-opening loss to the Islanders at the Garden. Brian Monzo of WFAN joined me to talk about the Rangers' loss as we try to not overreact to the first of 56 regular-season games for the Blueshirts.

I thought the goal of each Yankees season was to win the World Series. I’m not so sure anymore. The Yankees haven’t made a move this offseason to improve their roster and there’s a month left until spring training.

There's a report from Yahoo! Sports that DJ LeMahieu is "dismayed" with the Yankees and has asked his agent to connect with other teams on a contract. If true, it's not a surprise as the Yankees have yet to sign the team's best player. They have yet to do anything this offseason.

It's been three days since the last podcast and DJ LeMahieu is still a free agent, and over the last three days, the Yankees haven't improved their roster or rotation. The Yankees did finally make an offseason move, but it was nothing more than a depth move that will hopefully not have any impact on the team this season.

It’s been nearly three months since the Yankees’ season ended and they have done nothing to improve their roster in that time. They haven’t done anything to their roster at all, other than have impending free agents become free agents and release the ineffective Jonathan Holder. Spring training is a little more than a month away (if the season starts on time) and the Yankees are much worse today than they were when they were eliminated.

The Yankees had to bring Zack Britton back for 2021 (and 2020), so they did. The Yankees didn't want to pay Brett Gardner $10 million for 2021, so they didn't. But everyone should expect Gardner to re-sign with the Yankees at a much lower cost.
