🔮 Ex-Yankees coach Joe Espada has made the playoffs two of three years as Houston manager, but his tenure may depend on who’s hired as GM.
🔮 “I know what he would like to do. …
🔮 If the Yankees listened to public opinion, manager Aaron Boone would have been fired between Games 2 and 3 of the division series.

🔮 That’s especially true now, when the team may need more considering the higher stakes.
🔮 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.
