'Didn't execute.' 'It's brutal.' Yankees at a Loss After Early October Exit The Yankees figured they'd roar back into the ALDS against the Blue Jays. Instead, the Bombers went down in a whimper.

“I’m still going to be thinking about this,” Jazz Chisholm said on his misplay, “Even probably when the season starts next year."

"We didn’t execute when we needed to," said Stanton, who made an identical statement after last year’s final Yankees game.

Aaron Judge, the Ghosts of Monument Park, and a Signature Postseason Moment Aaron Judge credited the spirits of former Yankees greats for arguably the most memorable, and most important, home run of his career.

Aaron Judge credited the ghosts of Monument Park for keeping his home run fair last night. But, unless ghosts are helping him out on a regular basis, the extraordinary is what we’ve come to expect from the Yankees captain.

Tough love from Eric Chavez set up Francisco Lindor’s hot start to 2025 Francisco Lindor is flipping the narrative. The four-time Silver Slugger is playing with a level of early-season dominance that we haven't seen in years.

"We were talking about my season, and he said that, at one point in the year, it was like I was a no-show — like I wasn't really there. And that hit home for me.”

Francisco Lindor on his newfound inner peace, living in the moment, and staying unsatisfied Coming off of a career year with the New York Mets, Francisco Lindor has found peace in trying to "live in the moment."

"Last year, for the first time, I felt like I was always in the moment, and I enjoyed it a lot. That's when you experience true happiness, when you live in the moment. It slows life down.”

Pete Alonso deal embodies Mets' rise to power under Steve Cohen: 'We're seeing it' In an exclusive interview, Mets owner Steve Cohen elucidates how the club struck a deal with Pete Alonso that aligns perfectly with David Stearns' guide to becoming a perennial contender.

“He just has to be Pete,” Mets owner Steve Cohen told FOX Sports. “Go do his thing. Let's go win something.”

Story on how the Alonso deal perfectly embodies the Cohen-Stearns era in Queens. Plus, Cohen gives credit to Stearns for getting it done ⬇️

Why Pete Alonso should prioritize the Mets over money With his options dwindling in free agency, it’s long past time for Pete Alonso to decide what is most important: his legacy or his contract.

Takeaways from Juan Soto's introductory presser: 'It's been a Mets town for a long time' Juan Soto explained what motivated his decision to leave the Yankees for the Mets in his introductory press conference on Thursday.

Steve Cohen’s pitch to Juan Soto: “I wanted to get a point across to him that we're good people, that we care, that we want to win a championship, that I'm always successful.”

More takeaways from Soto’s introductory Mets presser at Citi Field: www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/...

David Stearns’ statement: “Today’s signing further solidifies our organizational commitment to consistent championship competitiveness. Not only does Juan provide historic levels of on field production, but his joy, intensity, and passion for the game mirror our budding culture.”

Statement from Steve and Alex Cohen on the Mets’ Juan Soto signing, which is now official: “This is a seminal moment in franchise history. Juan Soto is a generational talent. He is not only bringing staggering historical statistics with him but also a championship pedigree.”

The Mets are submitting their presentation to Roki Sasaki. It should be in possession of his agent, Joel Wolfe, if not, on the way. Of note, David Stearns believes Grimace was not a part of the presentation.

Aaron Boone said losing Juan Soto “hurts in the moment,” but there’s still an opportunity for the Yankees to go out and put together a great team.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez on how happy he is for Soto: “I love Juan. I can sit here and say that I’m the only manager who won the World Series with him. How about that?”

How the Mets plucked Juan Soto from the Yankees With money being relatively equal, Juan Soto choosing the Mets over the Yankees makes a statement that neither fan base in New York will take lightly. Deesha Thosar explains.

No one was going to stop Steve Cohen from acquiring Juan Soto, certainly not the Yankees nor MLB's luxury tax penalty.

The little brother Mets just became the bully. Column:

Hal Steinbrenner: “We’ve got the ability to sign any player we want to sign.”

Steinbrenner said Soto had questions about the Yankees’ player development process during their meeting in California. Steinbrenner said: “I just think he didn’t really spend any time at our player development complex. He’s asking this about all the clubs, I’m sure.“

Asked Hal Steinbrenner how confident he is at this point that the Yankees will sign Juan Soto: “No idea. We’ll be in the mix. I’ll leave it at that.”
