Playing through a UCL sprain in your thumb, which Francisco Alvarez will attempt to do, is "doable," Dustin Pedroia said. But it's not easy or pleasant. “I’m 42 now, and it still hurts.” nypost.com/2025/08/20/s...

Francisco Alvarez's power has gone missing. Is the hamate surgery to blame? "A lot of people have told me that three months after or four months after, they feel 100 percent. I don’t put that excuse in my mind.” nypost.com/2025/06/20/s...

The Mets have five rolling starting pitchers and two due back soon. Griffin Canning, with a 3.22 ERA, is OK being on the bubble. “It’s been super fun being a part of this team. We all just want to win. So I think whatever they think is best." nypost.com/2025/06/12/s...

Carlos Narváez returns to the Bronx tonight as a reminder of how the Yankees have mass-produced catchers. They have offloaded so many in part because of faith in Austin Wells, who has "a presence that I think is a little harder to kind of put your thumb on." nypost.com/2025/06/05/s...

Behind Brett Baty's new batting stance that has a great athlete feeling athletic: nypost.com/2025/05/30/s...

Jacob deGrom is trying to pitch “smarter,” which makes him slightly less dominant and maybe slightly more healthy. What if he reached this epiphany with the Mets? “You can’t live with the what-ifs. … I was younger at that time and felt like I could do it.” nypost.com/2025/05/21/s...

Nearly a decade before the Yankees, the Mets had the same vision for J.C. Escarra the catcher. nypost.com/2025/05/19/s...

"I couldn’t get my mind off how bad I wanted to motherf–k Juan Soto.” A trip to the Yankee Stadium bleachers for Soto's return, including the only chant -- "You miss Judge" -- that drew a response. nypost.com/2025/05/17/s...

"He's a quiet assassin." The Yankees captain on the Knicks captain: nypost.com/2025/05/11/s...

Jose Iglesias has literally dreamed of beating the Mets in the playoffs. The now-Padre was "totally shocked" by the lack of an offer this winter, though he left a parting gift: “‘OMG’ belongs to the Mets.” nypost.com/2025/05/07/s...

Behind Brandon Sproat's early struggles this season is a changeup that is playing like "a slower two-seam." Still, the Mets top prospect thinks he's close to figuring it out. nypost.com/2025/05/05/s...

Blade Tidwell had pestered the Mets, saying he'd pinch-run if it meant getting a call-up. The call-up finally arrived, and the pitching prospect will get a chance to prove himself particularly against lefties. nypost.com/2025/05/02/s...

By the end of a miserable night for the Yankees, their manager essentially was lobbying to lose already: nypost.com/2025/04/11/s...

"I want to play the field forever.” How Pete Alonso is working to improve his first base defense and avoid becoming another slugger-turned-DH: nypost.com/2025/04/10/s...

Clay Holmes is about to throw a lot of kick-changes. Here's what a kick-change is: nypost.com/2025/04/01/s...

For The Post's baseball preview: The joy, almost blinding confidence and grandmother behind Jazz Chisholm Jr. “I don’t miss a game because I look at him, and I recognize myself.” nypost.com/2025/03/25/s...

When you ask about Ismael Munguia, you get smiles and incredible, only-mostly-joking comparisons: Ichiro, Tony Gwynn, José Reyes. The Yankees non-roster invite is a fun player with a rare skill: hitting on the run. nypost.com/2025/03/14/s...

Gerrit Cole is due for an in-person visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache today in Los Angeles, sources said, with surgery a possibility. nypost.com/2025/03/10/s...

First-round pick Ben Hess got his first call-up to Yankees camp yesterday and showed off a revamped arsenal that now includes a changeup. nypost.com/2025/03/10/s...

In the wake of the Gerrit Cole scare and a brutal spring, a state-of-the-Yankees address from Aaron Judge: "If there’s any time for something [bad] to happen, I think it’s better now." nypost.com/2025/03/09/s...

Some available pitchers who can go elsewhere have begun picking the Mets, whose development reputation has grown. “I think we try to hang our hats on that — that we’re providing them every resource possible.” nypost.com/2025/03/07/s...

Hitters might not be able to see the ghost forkball, but now they can hear it. Kodai Senga will warm up to "Ghost Fork," a song he (kind of) helped write. nypost.com/2025/03/07/s...

Mets prospect Dom Hamel watched videos of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and interviews of Luke Weaver to find his new delivery. “I know what it feels like to be in Triple-A, and I don’t want to do that again.” nypost.com/2025/03/07/s...

Jeff McNeil, who essentially has volleyed between two different hitters in his career, has picked his path. “When you get that one pitch, you’ve got to be ready to hit it with authority. You can’t just try to guide it out there.” nypost.com/2025/03/02/s...

Billy Eppler is back in baseball nypost.com/2025/03/02/s...

A spring immaculate inning is more a novelty than anything else, but a Blade Tidwell breakout would be significant for the Mets nypost.com/2025/03/01/s...

Jasson Domínguez has had two adventures in left field in four games this spring. He acknowledges learning the new position will be a “process” and says he’s feeling more comfortable there. nypost.com/2025/02/27/s...

Yankees prospect Eric Reyzelman was basically a fastball-only pitcher when injuries struck. When he returned to the mound, he had added a slider and changeup and has dominated in a way that has surprised even himself nypost.com/2025/02/27/s...

Among Yankees 2B/3B options: —They inquired on Kiké Hernández again this offseason, though a return to the Dodgers seems most likely. —They have gotten medicals on Yoan Moncada, who will be ready for spring training, but have not re-engaged recently. nypost.com/2025/01/31/s...

Ryne Stanek is returning to the Mets on a one-year deal, a source confirmed. The Mets' bullpen has a few solid bridges to Edwin Diaz and looks strong on paper. nypost.com/2025/01/29/s...

As Yankees pitchers dealt in the playoffs, Will Warren watched on TV. He would guess the next pitch & saw how one set up another. After a rough MLB debut, he's learning “As much as it sucks to have failure like that, sometimes failure is what it takes to learn something” nypost.com/2025/01/17/s...

Add Jorge Polanco to the list of 2B/3B Yankees have talked with. Polanco is taking ground balls all over the infield and expected to be ready for spring training after a knee surgery that might explain his rough 2024. nypost.com/2025/01/07/s...

In this Yankees newsletter, Cashman says Chase Hampton is healthy and compares Spencer Jones’ development to Judge’s and Betances’. Plus, “mutual interest” in a reunion with Tommy Kahnle nypost.com/2024/12/13/s...

What is Juan Soto worth? Asked a bunch of business folk in and around MLB whether his ~$700 million contract could be a financial bargain. Soto is not like Shohei Ohtani because no one is. But, "If they’re winning consistently, [the Soto contract] can pay for itself.” nypost.com/2024/12/06/s...

Within this Mets newsletter: For what it's worth, the Mets still have a ~$5M deal arranged for Elian Peña, a 2025 top international prospect. They can still back out, try to renegotiate and/or trade for pool money, but as of now there wouldn't be much left for Roki Sasaki nypost.com/2024/11/29/s...

Maybe I'll start posting stories here. Yankees sent a scout this week to see Jonathan Loáisiga, who's throwing from 90 feet and has received interest from 14 teams, a source said. nypost.com/2024/11/23/s...
