Mets Clear 40-Man Spot With Releasing Of Frankie Montas
The New York Mets have released Frankie Montas to clear space on their 40-man. Montas was entering the final year of what was a two-year deal when DFA’d by New York. Montas battled with injury all season long and eventually had it prematurely ended in August with a UCL injury. The injury, which led to elbow surgery, will sideline the 32-year-old for 2026. So the Mets releasing him to open up room on their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft makes perfect sense. In seven s

The Yankees Need To Give This Top Prospect More Time To Develop
George Lombard Jr., is a top prospect in the New York Yankees organization. He has such hype and heavy media coverage around him you can comfortably argue the fact he is a household name at only 20-years-old. Lombard won’t be of drinking age till mid season of 2026, but the main question is where will he be drinking that victory champagne? New York has loaded minor league teams from Single-A to Triple, with Lombard listed as their No.1 prospect. The shortstop finished 2025 wi

West Haven Yankees Franchise Still Exists
As seen in the West Haven Voice September 4th, 2025, edition. See the original article here. The West Haven Yankees were the pride of West Haven, winning a total of four Eastern League titles across nearly their decade-long stay.

Forgotten Yankees: Chi Chi Gonzalez
The New York Yankees have had a flurry of pitchers make one-off appearances over the years. The Cuban right-hander of Chi Chi Gonzalez is no exception. In 2022 Gonzalez, whose real name is Alexander Rios Gonzalez, signed a minor league deal with New York after being released by the Tigers in late August of 2022. Gonzalez would spend roughly a month in Triple-AAA SWB before getting called-up to the majors on October 2nd. This late-season roster move gave Chi Chi major league s

Mets Need To Focus On Jonah Tong's Development, Not Pitching Needs In 2026
Jonah Tong got a taste of the major league lights as a late-season call-up to help support the Mets crippled and inconsistent pitching staff. Tong, a top three prospect and draftee of the Mets organization in 2022, would ultimately struggle at the big league level after sheer dominance in the minors. 2025 would see a combined ERA of 1.43 in 22 starts between Double and Triple-A before being called up for his major league debut. Tong was undoubtedly rushed to the majors, and i
