🔮 Talk was circulating among some overexcited guessers that New York’s marquee baseball franchise might duplicate the Knicks’ magical run after they swept the rival Red Sox two straight games in The Bronx.
🔮 It’s a role no one could have imagined when Schlittler was named as pick No. 220 in the 2022 draft.
🔮 The Phillies may or may not conduct a managerial search, but Alex Cora appears to have a strong inside track to become their next manager with interim manager Don Mattingly expected to step down.
🔮 The Yankees rolled past the Red Sox like they were playing a bunch of computer nerds, which in effect they may have been (see comments from Boston slugger Willson Contreras).
🔮 The other three games will be covered by $703M worth of talent (Cole, Rodón and Game 2 winner Max Fried’s combined take-home pay).
🔮 And maybe there’s a Yankees player or two who took it all personally, too.
🔮 The Orioles had a request to the Yankees on the table for star catcher Adley Rutschman at the deadline: pitching prospect Elmer Rodríguez, catcher Austin Wells, outfield prospect Yostin Pena plus one of two young starters — either Will Warren or Ryan Weathers.
🔮 “The two Massachusetts boys showed up,” crowed Hyde, the New England area Yankees scout whose tandem of late-round draft signees may never be duplicated.
🔮 Jazz Chisholm Jr. on talent alone would seem to be an easy call to receive a qualifying offer from a monied team like the Yankees, which hands them out liberally.
🔮 And it surely would be a great and maybe even historic story if he could beat all odds and make it back within two weeks of straining the soleus muscle in his right calf.
