Heroes, zeros from Mets' Subway Series win: Huascar Brazoban saves day
Hero
On another rough day for Mets clutch hitting, Francisco Lindor lifted a sacrifice fly deep enough for Luisangel Acuña to score what became the game-winning run.

Aaron Judge's still-absurd batting average slipped from .414 to .402 on an 0-for-5 afternoon in which he struck out three times, the last one swinging through an Edwin Díaz fastball to finish off the game.

Unsung hero
The Mets probably do not win the game without Huascar Brazobán, who helped Griffin Canning escape danger in the sixth and then retired the side in the seventh, his ERA down to 1.01.

Yankees Mailbag: The stretch run and Tucker's free agency
Good afternoon everyone, it's time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. ReadingYankee asks: I, for one am shocked by the Blue Jays current run of success. I did NOT see them even having a winning record this season. Based on the remaining schedule, can you give us an idea of the Yankees path to clinch a playoff spot, whether it is the unlikely path of clawing back the division, or sneaking in as the (current position) third Wild Card. And who would be most likely to falter in front of them to open up that path? I've been shocked by their ascension as well — if there was a team I thought would challenge the Yankees this year it was the revamped Red Sox, but the Jays being above both of them has been a surprise. The Yankees have blown through every metric that could've pointed them towards a rebound, and look every bit the part of a team destined for a first-round exit at best. Their hold on the final Wild Card spot is narrow, sitting just a half-game above the Guardians entering today, and they're staring at a 6.5 game deficit in the division. The difference between the first and third Wild Card is a negligible 2.5 games, so if they ever decide to finally pull out of the tailspin they've been on for months now they could easily get into more comfortable positioning, but that requires them flipping the switch in a major way from how they've been playing. A series win against the Twins is a decent start considering where they've been, but they need a lot more consistency before we can count that as anything other than clearing the lowest bar imaginable. The rest of their August is actually very favorable for them — matchups against St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Washington, and the White Sox could all boost them back into the black for this month, and a crucial matchup against the Red Sox lies sandwiched between them. They need to hit their stride here, because the first half of September will make or break them — they face a gauntlet run against the Astros, Blue Jays, Tigers, and Red Sox back-to-back-to-back-t0-back. If they're in decent shape for that stretch than anything's possible, but if they continue to float down before they even get there I'd say they're more likely to miss the dance outright than not. jmack175 asks: I'm a big fan of the '08 offseason strategy that brought in CC/Tex/Burnett as opposed to the lower tier more budget approach signed to longer contracts to bring the AAV down… having said that, I am clamoring for Tucker next year, but hear a lot of fans saying that we should resign Grisham instead to a five-year deal for $17 million per year or so. This seems like the type of mediocrity move that Cashman would pull — a guy has a career year who has never had one before and Cash overpays him for the next 6 year or 7 years (see LeMahieu, DJ, and Hicks, Aaron). It's a bit of wishful thinking to plan for an '08-09 offseason-saving free agency class to come around again — the Yankees had everything they needed fall into place then and had no reservations about dropping the money necessary to get it, which are two circumstances that rarely come up anymore let alone together. To compare situations, New York would need to pull off a Tucker/Bregman/Framber Valdez or Dylan Cease type of haul to land a similar remodeling, and aside from the fact that landing even one of those names would be big news these days there's just no way that Hal Steinbrenner and company will go that far. Tucker is the jewel of the class though, and the Yankees have interest just like most of the league does, so let's focus in on him and the current Yankee outfield. The Yankees obviously have Aaron Judge penciled in for right field in 2026 and beyond, and currently deploy a trio of Jasson Domínguez, Cody Bellinger, and Trent Grisham for the remaining two spots. Domínguez is a mainstay assuming that the team doesn't involve him in offseason trade talks, which they've been adamant about avoiding up until this point, which leaves Bellinger and Grisham left for us to discuss when we break down how the outfield could evolve. Bellinger has been one of the team's best bats this year, looking closer to the All-Star caliber player he once was with the Dodgers even if he doesn't have his 2019 MVP form anymore. He'd be great to keep around, and his versatility with first base means that they could shift him there next year with Paul Goldschmidt's contract expiring should Bellinger opt-in to his 2026 player option or re-sign with the team. Grisham meanwhile, has been enjoying a career year unlocked with more regular playing time covering every spot in the outfield grass whenever Aaron Boone wants to play him in a particular matchup or give his starters a rest day. He's been incredibly valuable to the team and deserving of a raise from the $5 million he's earning in his final arbitration year, but the question becomes how much will he earn and with who. If he's getting a deal around $17 million per year as suggested, much as I've liked him in pinstripes I don't think the Yankees should lock him down for that, especially not while Tucker is still on the market. If they lose out and pay him as a Plan B, I could at least see the reasoning there, but if he doesn't get too much traction I'd love to see a world where the Yankees swing for both: get Tucker as your offseason capstone, and keep Grisham around as the super outfielder providing depth and keeping the starters well-rested. It's highly unlikely that they want to spend the money for both, but there's plenty of reason to believe it would work if they did.

Cubs, Yankees get good outlook on former Astros OF Kyle Tucker's future contract
Cubs, Yankees get good outlook on former Astros OF Kyle Tucker's future contract originally appeared on The Sporting News After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. took an in-season contract extension with the Toronto Blue Jays, there's no debate who the best player on the free agency market will be in Major League Baseball this winter. Kyle Tucker is the top player on the market, and fortunately for the former Houston Astros slugger, many teams will be in a bidding war for him. While some believe that Tucker could be looking at a $500-plus million deal, which would only be fair considering some of the other contracts handed out in Major League Baseball recently, Zachary D. Rymer doesn't expect that to be true. Rymer had him at about $100 million less now. "There isn't any question Kyle Tucker is the No. 1 player on the upcoming free-agent market. He's an All-Star, Gold Glover and World Series champion who has averaged 6.4 rWAR per 162 games since 2021... "There is some belief Tucker will end up scoring a contract worth upwards of $600 million, but the more practical bar seems to be set at the $400 million threshold. That would be historic in its own right, as there has never been a contract in the $400-699 million range signed by a free agent," he wrote. MORE:Astros' Framber Valdez among top free agents for 2025-26 offseason Tucker has struggled since the All-Star Game, and so have the Chicago Cubs. However, the reality is that if the Cubs want to be a competent team over the next decade, they need players like Tucker. Making the trade they did with the Astros, highlighted by youngster Cam Smith, who, despite struggling at times, is still an outstanding player, would have been a questionable decision.

A little help? Mets' pitching is prime culprit in late-season swoon that could knock New York out of playoff hunt
When the New York Mets finished their offseason after signing right fielder Juan Soto to the largest contract in the history of professional sports and bringing back first baseman and new franchise leader in home runs Pete Alonso, you can imagine they believed they had a team ready for the postseason. And after finishing the season in the NLCS, you can understand why that was the case. Even as recently as three weeks ago at the trade deadline, New York loaded up with additions in their bullpen like Gregory Soto, Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers. And those moves are indicative of an organization that has its sights on October. But things this month have become critical for the Mets as they are on the precipice of watching their season slip away along with the hope of a return to the postseason. The Mets have lost 13 of their past 15 games entering Friday, are 19-31 over their past 50 games and lost their past five series. What's gone wrong in Queens? The biggest culprit is within the Mets' starting pitching. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] When the season began, there were concerns about what New York's rotation would look like because despite the additions of Clay Holmes and Frankie Montas Jr., the starter situation wasn't perfect. Yet throughout the first half, the Mets had one of the best starter ERAs in the game as Holmes, left-hander David Peterson, breakout starter Griffin Canning and Kodai Senga thrived. However, things have changed rapidly. The All-Star level production New York was getting has disappeared. Since the All-Star break, Peterson and Sean Manaea have ERAs over 4, Holmes and Senga have ERAs over 5 and Montas is over 7. Not to mention that Canning was lost for the year after suffering a torn Achilles. Now that the trade deadline has passed, the Mets' solutions have to come from within. While Senga, Manaea, Holmes and Peterson have each had moments of brilliance this season, they'll have to dramatically improve if New York has any hope of earning a playoff spot. The mental toll of losing this many games seems to be wearing on New York as its playoff hopes take a major hit. Among those defeats was a gut-punch loss where New York blew a six-run lead and gave up 11 unanswered runs against the rival Braves this week. 'It's frustrating. We're not holding up our end, and we need to do better," Peterson said of the pitching. Since the All-Star break, New York has gone from being tied atop the NL East with the Philadelphia Phillies to now being five games back in the division entering Friday. And in the NL wild-card standings, they're holding onto playoff position by a thread with a half-game lead over the improving Cincinnati Reds. One of the biggest impediments to the Mets and a future in the playoffs could be a difficult schedule. In the final eight weeks of the season, New York faces five teams currently in postseason position, including the Mariners (three games), Phillies (seven games), Cubs (three games), Padres (three games) and Tigers (three games). They also have a pivotal series against the Reds in Cincinnati the first weekend of September. Time is becoming a factor this late in August, and with the Phillies' lead in the NL East growing by the day, the NL wild card seems to be the only route New York has now toward October baseball. While Cincinnati is right behind the Mets, the Reds also have a challenging schedule down the stretch with series against the Brewers, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Padres, Cubs and Mets. Several divisions around the game are still up for grabs, but the fight for the third and final wild-card spot might be the most competitive.
