🔮 A week after the Jets sacked Cleveland’s Deshaun Watson eight times, they were unable to come up with any against New England quarterback Drake Maye in a 26-19 loss Sunday.
🔮 tRY IT NOWHero Drake Maye was 18-for-32 for 235 yards and threw three touchdowns in the win without a turnover.
🔮 Injuries to Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto didn’t help and despite playing better for part of May, a six-game losing streak in June sealed Mendoza’s fate and he was fired after a June 25 loss to the Cubs.
🔮 This one feels a little different, as not only could the Yankees not catch the small-payroll Rays in the AL East, they were swept out of the ALDS by their divisional foes.
🔮 Try it freeThat may be what the 2026 Yankee season will most be remembered for, as Judge was forced to miss such a sizable chunk of the regular season due to a fractured rib that cost him over three months and then the strained calf that prevented him from playing in the postseason.
🔮 With his Yankees future very much in doubt after this season — when he was playing on the qualifying offer following his 34-homer year in 2025 — the Yankees were willing to end their season with the lefty-swinging Grisham getting the most plate appearances in an elimination game.
🔮 The real issue the Yankees had against their AL East rivals, whom they couldn’t catch in the division and proved to be no match for in the playoffs, was their lineup.
🔮 The two best teams in the American League are set to meet in … the ALDS.
🔮 Try it freeFor Cole, who missed all of last season — including the playoffs — following Tommy John surgery, it will be worth the wait.
🔮 One thing most weren’t sold on, though, was that two of their top offensive prospects — both at premier defensive positions — would be ready to contribute in the playoffs so soon, since it was just over a year ago that George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones were teammates at Double-A Somerset.

Sign Up NowBut they were in The Bronx on Wednesday night — and while it was Cody Bellinger’s homer that drove the final nail into Boston’s coffin in the decisive inning, the rally opened in the sixth not with a blast, but with a strikeout.
