Aaron Boone ‘happy’ Alex Cora received extension from Red Sox
BOSTON — Manager Alex Cora likely won’t have to answer the question of whether he can imagine managing the Yankees, or any other team, next season. If any teams had their eye on the Red Sox captain, who is set to become a free agent after this season, those discussions are over. Cora, who signed […]
Aaron Judge’s monster homer not enough in Yankees’ loss
BOSTON — Aaron Judge visited a part of Fenway Park few have ever been to before, the Yankees went from one run down to two with one swing and many Red Sox fans asked each other if they’d seen where the home run landed. It was epic. It was a jolt to a team that […]
Aaron Boone spitting out expletives after Yankees’ latest loss
There was a sound of the table hitting something, although it was an open hand, not a clenched fist. There were some curses. There were multiple reads of “It’s in front of us,” which has been a consistent mantra in the face of adversity over the past few seasons. Pitching before the game, pitcher Aaron […]
Aaron Rodgers not running away from Super Bowl expectations
On a muggy, overcast Wednesday morning, a man on a postponed mission took his first steps toward becoming Comeback Player of the Year.

Yankees offense needs to be more than Aaron Judge, Juan Soto

Right now, there are only two good hitters, […]
Mets’ Aaron Judge free-pass strategy pays off in win

The Yankees have been trying to find the right combination to hit on either side of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. On Tuesday, that responsibility fell to a pair of seldom-used right-handers, Jamai Jones and J.D. Davis, with disastrous results. The Yankees were set to face Mets left-hander Jose Quintana, and manager Aaron Boone used […]
Mets’ Jake Diekman put struggles aside to meet daunting Aaron Judge challenge
The Mets were doing their best to be considerate guests at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. They left half of Rego Park on base through the ninth inning. They made some strange choices on the base paths, but that’s really the kindest word to describe their misfortune. They weren’t auditioning for Gold Glove voters on […]
Aaron Judge won’t reveal if he has Yankees trade deadline input
Aaron Judge’s impact is as big as his bat. The man with a market capitalization of $360 million owns the Yankees’ clubhouse in the Bronx and literally had a hand in building the clubhouse at their spring facility in Tampa, advising Hal Steinbrenner on the renovations. Judge had a say in everything from kit choice […]
Aaron Rodgers mocks Biden for challenging Trump in golf
Super Bowl-winning quarterback Aaron Rodgers mocked President Biden for challenging President Donald Trump to carry his own golf bag if they were to play against each other.
