Aaron Boone Believes Yankees' Defense Could Become a 'Strength' Following Ryan McMahon Trade

  Aaron Boone Believes Yankees' Defense Could Become a 'Strength' Following Ryan McMahon Trade Yankees Look to Shore Up Defense with Ryan McMahon Trade Just two days after manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the Yankees needed to tighten up their defense, the team made a move to address the issue—acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies in a trade finalized Friday. McMahon, known for his defensive prowess, steps into a position that has lacked consistency this season. While the addition helps solidify the hot corner, the Yankees still need sharper play up the middle, particularly from shortstop Anthony Volpe. Entering Friday’s series opener against the Phillies, Volpe was tied for the most errors at his position in the majors with 13. “I expect, and it needs to be, one of our strengths,” Boone said pregame. “Now bringing in a McMahon, and with Anthony, we need them to play the way they’re capable of playing and how we expect them to play. And if they do, ...

Joao Pedro Makes Dream Start as Chelsea Eye Club World Cup Glory

Joao Pedro Makes Dream Start as Chelsea Eye Club World Cup Glory Chelsea may already boast a wealth of attacking talent, but Joao Pedro has wasted no time making his presence felt – potentially pulling ahead of his fellow forwards just in time for Sunday’s Club World Cup final. The Brazilian striker, who signed from Brighton last week, is now one of 19 forwards brought in under Chelsea’s American ownership, which has spent a staggering £600 million on attacking reinforcements since taking over in 2022. After a brief debut in Saturday’s quarter-final win over Palmeiras, Pedro earned his first start in the semi-final against Fluminense – his boyhood club – and delivered a memorable performance with two sensational goals on either side of half-time. His first came just 18 minutes in, when he latched onto a half-cleared cross at the edge of the box, took a single touch, and rifled a fierce drive past 44-year-old keeper Fabio into the far corner. It was a statement opener. The second was ju...

USA vs. Mexico Live Tracker: Latest Updates, Lineups & How to Watch the USMNT in Gold Cup Final vs. El Tri The U.S. men’s national team is getting the matchup it wanted. After surviving a nervy semifinal against Guatemala and watching Mexico edge Honduras 1–0, the region’s fiercest rivalry is back — and it all goes down Sunday night at NRG Stadium in Houston. USMNT defender Chris Richards didn’t mince words: “We owe ’em a little something,” he told Yahoo Sports. On Sunday, they get their shot. It’ll be the first competitive clash between the U.S. and Mexico under head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who’s aiming to win his first trophy at the helm. But his youthful squad will need to improve on their semifinal showing — and be prepared for a heavily pro-Mexico crowd. El Tri come in on a defensive hot streak, having gone over 380 minutes without conceding, and are hunting a record-extending 10th Gold Cup title. The U.S., meanwhile, are chasing their eighth, led by breakout stars Diego...

Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus: Gonzalo Garcia strikes again as Bianconeri bow out quietly

Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus: Gonzalo Garcia strikes again as Bianconeri bow out quietly. Gonzalo Garcia Sends Real Madrid Past Juventus in Sluggish Club World Cup Clash Real Madrid booked their place in the Club World Cup final with a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus in a labored encounter in Miami, where Gonzalo Garcia once again proved the difference-maker. In the stifling Florida humidity, energy and intensity were in short supply. The oppressive conditions took a visible toll on both European giants, who delivered a match that was more attritional than electric. Garcia, 21, stepped up yet again in the absence of the unwell Kylian MbappĂ©, scoring the decisive goal shortly after the break. The young forward’s third strike in four tournament matches adds weight to his growing case for a regular role in Real’s glittering lineup. Juventus came into the semi-final still smarting from a bruising 5-2 loss to Manchester City, but manager Igor Tudor rotated his squad heavily in hopes of a reset. Hi...
