The Mets made a ton of moves.
The Yankees did essentially nothing.
The Mets’ 2023 playoff hopes are long gone.
The Yankees’ 2023 playoff hopes are usually not pretty.
It’s a tragic state of baseball in Recent York.
Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman speak about it on a recent episode of “The Show” podcast following the trade deadline.
‘The Show’ Podcast with Joel Sherman & Jon Heyman:
- METS DEADLINE: They did well with the prospects they got back. They’ll attempt to be competitive next season, but hard to see a championship happening. Did Billy Eppler misinform get Max Scherzer to waive his no-trade clause? How does the Mets’ future look?
- YANKEES DEADLINE: The Yankees didn’t do much of anything. They’re paying a price for all of the wrongs over the past 12 months. They’re currently a problematic team. Brian Cashman is in a slump. Could this be the beginning of a downward turn for the franchise?
- REST OF MLB: Angels, Marlins, Astros and Rangers were the massive deadline winners. Rangers look higher than the Astros. The AL West will likely be a really intriguing division now to look at.
