Yanks keep on rolling! They have now won 9 straight games and 8 straight series to get to 20 games over .500. NYY will begin an important 9 game road trip in Atlanta before hitting the west coast.

The Yankees sweep the Red Sox and remarkably pass them in the standings! NYY currently owns the first wild card spot, a game ahead of Oakland and Boston. The homestand concludes with a 4 game set vs the Twins.

Yankees go into KC and take another series. They have now won nine of their last ten. Tyler Wade really stepped up with the NYY short-handed. DJ and Voit had some really clutch hits as well. Now the Yanks will take on the White Sox, including the Field of Dreams game in Iowa!

It’s another series win for the Yanks. The pitching has been phenomenal and it’s coming mostly from newer, relatively unknowns. The hitting continues to flounder, in my opinion, despite the winning. And the NYY Covid and IL lists are increasing by the day. Can the Yankees keep on withstanding the loss in man power as they head to Kansas City?

Anthony Rizzo. That’s it. You couldn’t ask for a better first series. He’s everything the Yankees haven’t been this year. And what do you know, a rare sweep as well! Let the good times roll back to the Bronx where we will see many Yanks make their home debuts.

You can never have enough pitching. Left handed starter Andrew Heaney has been traded to the Yankees from the Angels for two prospects and will join the rotation. He has a propensity for giving up home runs as a fly ball pitcher, but has always had strikeout stuff.

Toughness was missing from the Rangers this past season and it is certainly being addressed this off-season. Vegas trades Ryan Reaves to NYR for a 3rd round pick. Coach Gallant is no stranger to Reaves, having coached him with the Golden Knights. I wouldn’t expect Reaves to play anywhere close to every game this season. However, don’t be surprised if he is in lineup for opening night against the Capitals.

Brian Cashman is at it again. The Yankees have added another big left handed bat to the lineup as Anthony Rizzo is now the newest addition. He was acquired from the Cubs in exchange for two prospects. Rizzo will help on both sides of the ball as he is a plus defender at First Base and will draw his walks without striking out a ton. Does this signal the end for Luke Voit as a Yankee?

NYY win the series vs Tampa at the Trop, but yet again fail to get the sweep, now 4-10 in those situations. Cole struggled and the offense continues to spiral as the hope is Gallo will help. The starting pitching has been fairly excellent on the flip side. We shall see what the trade deadline brings as the team travels to Miami.

Joey Gallo is headed to the Bronx along with reliever Joely Rodriguez from Texas in exchange for 4 lower-level prospects. The Yankees get a left handed slugger which is a desperate need. His patience at the plate and strong defense will help us not just for this season, but in 2022 as well. All that being said, get ready for many, many strikeouts. He is the ideal Cashman prototype.
