Phillies announce they’ve signed Don Mattingly to a two-year deal (so through ‘27 and ‘28), as @MattGelb and @charlottevarnes said they would. Fascinating decision for a team facing a fascinating offseason.

Wells stood by the decision to go to third because he was “trying to make something happen.” Boone called it “a mistake.” Either way, given that they’ll have to see him again this series, Yankees futility against Drew Rasmussen is a much bigger problem. sny.tv/articles/yan...

Yankees' loss to Rays in Game 1 of ALDS should not fall solely on Austin Wells' shoulders

For the second time in as many weeks – though with far greater stakes this time – Drew Rasmussen carved through the Yankees lineup so effectively that he carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning. S...

Just want to thank everyone in Mets world who followed along, put up with my puns, forgave the fact that I also cover the Yankees, and nodded along knowingly every time I experienced the kind of crazy Mets moments that barely faze you anymore. I’m grateful to be here with you.

Mets and Derek Falvey are close to an agreement that would bring him to the front office, per multiple people familiar with the situation. Former Twins exec, close Stearns ally from Cleveland. @WillSammon first

Boone said Clarke Schmidt underwent testing on his biceps after the cramping the other day. Asked if it showed anything, he said “not much.” Pressed on whether that meant it showed something, he said nothing significant. Schmidt will play catch today to determine next steps

Boone said Judge has a “moderate” strain in the calf. Said the grade doesn’t matter because If he is able to play, he will play. But no activity for the next few days after the injection.

Congratulations and all my respect to Howie Rose. So lucky to have spent even a short amount of time around him, a true baseball treasure. Relentlessly respectful, kind, and humble. Treats everyone like an equal even though he has none. What a career.

No one deserves to suffer a scary injury but man, Jared Young has been such a delight this year. So humble and kind. I asked him recently if he feels like a veteran or comfortable yet here with all the young guys around him. He just laughed. Of course not. Too much left to prove.

David Stearns said: - Still expects Andy Green to return to the front office as of now - Hasn’t talked to Bichette about his opt-out yet - front office is in the process of figuring out priorities for the offseason - acknowledged their pitching depth wasn’t good enough early
