Story summary

David Stearns, now the president of baseball operations for the Mets, was previously the top decision-maker for the Milwaukee Brewers from September 2015 through October 2022. During his tenure, he played a crucial role in building the team's roster through amateur drafts, international signings, and trades. Despite leaving the Brewers after the 2022 season, Stearns' foundational work helped the team reach its first World Series appearance in 44 years, where they recently swept the Dodgers in the NLCS. His former assistant GM, Matt Arnold, took over after Stearns left and made key moves that propelled the Brewers to contention this October.

🔮 Boone also dropped Spencer Jones — the Yankees cleanup hitter in each of the prior three playoff games — down to batting eighth in the lineup, the lowest he has hit against a right-hander since May 19 (facing Dylan Cease).
🔮 He may have more talent and tools than almost any other player on the roster, most notably his speed, athleticism and power, but the Yankees have not been able to get that out of him regularly enough, especially this year.
🔮 McMahon has not brought much offensively and then committed a fielding error on the first ball put in play in the bottom of the first inning on Saturday night at Tropicana Field, the first of four the Yankees would make in Game 2.
🔮 “So there would’ve been a right-hander I would have used at some point had we gotten runners on base, but by the time he was in the game it was 5-1.
🔮 The Yankees will try to become the first team to come back from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series since they did it in the 2017 ALDS against Cleveland.
🔮 When the division series makes its way to The Bronx, Max Fried will get the ball first for the Yankees.
🔮 The Yankees were technically off Sunday, but the players who wanted to get their work in ahead of Game 2 of the ALDS went to their spring training home instead of the field where they will play Monday night.
🔮 Were the 18 runs on 26 hits the Yankees exploded for in their wild-card series proof they could survive postseason games without Aaron Judge, or just the result of feasting on a Red Sox bullpen after Tracy pulled his starter early in both games?
🔮 The Yankees left Weathers off their roster for the wild-card series to give him more time to build up, hoping it would allow him to be available more often in the ALDS.
