On Friday night, the Cubs surprisingly won their first road game against the Yankees in franchise history, beating their hosts 3-0 at Yankee Stadium.

In the All-Star's injury-delayed Yankee debut, Jameson Taillon made a triumphant return to Yankee Stadium, with one hitting in eight innings outpitch Carlos Rodón.

According to a story, Trey Mancini and the Chicago Cubs have committed to a two-year deal. According to The Associated Press, the two-year deal has yet to be confirmed as it awaits a fruitful physical. Mancini, a cancer survivor, was instrumental in the Houston Astros' World Series victory last season after arriving in Baltimore on August 1 in a three-team trade that also included Tampa Bay.

While Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson continue fielding offers from Major League teams, Taijuan Walker, Mitch Haniger, Matt Strahm, Josh Bell, Tommy Kahnle, Jameson Taillon, and Andrew Heaney all had a profitable day on Tuesday. Both Walker and Strahm, a starting pitcher and reliever, respectively, joined the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, spending $250,000 on the sport. According to various outlets, Walker, who was coming off two good seasons with the New York Mets, has agreed to a four-year, $72 million contract, while Strahm, a southpaw who pitched in Boston last season, has agreed to a two-year, $15 million contract. Since physicals are pending, a person familiar with the talks confirmed the transfers to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. After being reeled in shortstop Trea Turner's long-term contract on Monday with a $300 million, 11-year contract, it was the second major free agent score for the Phillies at the winter meetings. Before losing to the Houston Astros, Walker and Turner joined a Phillies team that made it to the World Series this year.

When you're the New York Yankees, this isn't good enough, and the usual caveats don't apply. It's not enough to make the playoffs every year, but it does not appear in nearly half of the sport these days. If the results don't add up and you're outspent by your cross-town rivals anyway, it isn't enough to have unlimited funds.

Fans of the Yankees' ALDS-clinching victory over the Guardians poured out onto the streets on Tuesday night to celebrate after the game, with a fan wearing a Joker mask.

Due to rain Monday night, Game 5 of the AL Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees has been postponed. The game was supposed to commence at 7:07 p.m. on Monday night, but Major League Baseball announced at 9:36 p.m. on Tuesday that it had been postponed until 4:07 p.m. due to continued bad weather. MLB had earlier announced that the game was postponed until about 6 p.m., but the game was postponed more than three hours later.

With Cleveland's second straight bloop hit in the 10th inning, the Guardians beat the New York Yankees 4-2 on Friday, and even their best-of-five AL Division Series at a tie apiece, with Oscar Gonzalez singled out in the run-ahead game. Jose Ramirez started the 10th against Jameson Taillon with an opposite-field popup that dropped right in front of left fielder Oswaldo Cabrera for a double. When third baseman Josh Donaldson threw the ball past second for an error, Ramirez was hustling all the way and slid into third headfirst. Gonzalez, the 15th-inning homer who won the first round of Tampa Bay on Saturday, was greeted with a soft opposite-field volley into short right off Taillon's first big league relief appearance after 143 starts. Josh Naylor had an RBI double that bounced off the wall in right-center on a hop off the wall.
