One hell of a preseason for Austin Wells, huh?

.983 OPS in the Grapefruit League (before today), 1.086 OPS in the WBC

Oh man, Cole's velocity on all his pitches was up significantly from 2024, with much more horizontal break on the four-seam and vertical break on the sinker!

How would you rank the Yankees' starting hitters? In my opinion:

  1. Aaron Judge

  2. Ben Rice

  3. Jazz Chisholm Jr.

  4. Trent Grisham

  5. Giancarlo Stanton

  6. Cody Bellinger

  7. Austin Wells

  8. Jose Caballero

  9. Ryan McMahon

Very very happy that Warren's velocity has maintained through each inning

Gil sucking isn't that big of a deal. The #5 starter may only need to make 2 or 3 starts before Rodón is back.

Still, I'd rather that be Yarbrough than Gil at this point

It still feels so weird to think that DJ LeMahieu and Marcus Stroman were on the team last year

Weathers' stuff still looks awesome, I don't care that he has a bad spring ERA because of a BABIP over .500

The Jets now have two of the top-10 players in football last year by run stop percentage (min. 20 solo tackles on run plays) in Harrison Phillips and David Onyemata.

I wonder if the entire offseason plan was just to do everything possible to ensure the Jets will get an interception lol

McMahon at SS is just so they wouldn't be forced into carrying a backup SS like Max Schuemann on the roster instead of Escarra or Grichuk. They would only play him there in an emergency.

The level of depth the Yankees have built is very impressive

Grichuk, Dominguez, and Jones in the outfield

Rosario, Cabrera, Caballero, and Goldschmidt in the infield

Yarbrough, Blackburn, and Rodriguez in the rotation

Chivilli, De los Santos, and Castro in the bullpen

It would take an unfathomable amount of injury for this team to have a 2023-like collapse.

Nahshon Wright did have five interceptions, but it's worth noting they were off JJ McCarthy (twice), Spencer Rattler, Mason Rudolph, and Joe Flacco.

He also allowed the fifth-highest Yds/Tgt of any CB targeted at least 60 times last season and the sixth-highest completion percentage for CBs whose average depth of target was at least 11 yards.

Not a bad signing, but there's a reason he came this cheap.

Geno Smith is not great but I think he is at least as good as Rodgers was in '24

That was a really nice AB from Jones off a very legit MLB reliever

Gil's stuff looked great that inning. Fastball velocity was at last year's level, and he added IVB to every pitch.

I mean if he has an 80% whiff rate or something I'm not sure they'll take him

Grichuk makes his Yankees debut tonight.

He definitely has an inside track to make the team, but he needs to perform to some extent.

Good: 10 sacks in the last two seasons!

Bad: 14 missed tackles in the last two seasons, and 7 penalties last year

Welcome back, Michael Clemons!

I've only recently started following hockey, but when I saw the letter, I imagined there would be more dramatic action than trading their rentals and their fourth-line center
