If that goaltending call against Michigan doesn’t prove that the fix is in, what else does? What a horrible call that influenced the end of the game.

My Take: Yankees Re-Sign Paul Goldschmidt The Yankees make another waiver claim (could be waived again for the night is over) while re-signing Paul Freaking Goldschmidt.

Don't ask me what the Yankees are thinking, for I have no idea.

My Take: Thoughts on Keith Law & Prospects - Tom's Sports Blog Keith Law released his Top 100 Prospects today. To me, it's unwise to simply disregard what he says about minor leaguers. Let's dive in.

“Oh no! It’s @keithlaw.bsky.social ! I don’t like what he has to say!”

Here’s my look at what he said about the Top 100 prospects (especially the Yankees) and my overall thoughts on why it is foolish to ignore Keith Law’s insights.

My Take: Yankees Re-Sign Cody Bellinger - Tom's Sports Blog The Yankees finally get their man by re-signing Cody Bellinger. Are there any other moves to come, and where do they stand as is?

The Yankees re-sign their outfielder, and all of social media is jumping for joy.

OK, maybe not.

But should we be pessimistic?

*Probably* not.

Well, the Yankees have not signed any of the top international guys (Pipeline) thus far. Shocked, I am not.

If that comes to fruition, they will have a lot of money to use later in 2026.

But don’t let anyone fool you.

That was never the plan.

Execs poll: Top system? Best at drafting? Best at trading for prospects? For the first three installments of the MLB Pipeline Executive Poll, we asked front offices around baseball to focus on players. For our fourth and final report, we asked them to turn the spotlight on...

I am supposed to take this seriously when the Yankees didn’t receive one vote for pitcher development?

I am not saying they are the best.

But zero votes when the people voting in the poll constantly target our arms in trades?

Alrighty then.

Yeah, I am starting to get discouraged.

Looks like most anything they do will be via trade, especially with pitching. They didn’t even seem to engage much with the top free agent relievers.

The Yankees losing Wandy Asigen because they fired their international guy is peak comedy.

What a terrible black eye for the organization, regardless of what Asigen becomes.

Wake up, guys.
