Yankees claim veteran reliever off waivers from the Kansas City Royals…
The New York Yankees are one of the most decorated sports franchises in all four major North American sports league. The Yankees have won 27 World Series championships and 40 American League Pennants, and the club has a rich history of all-time greats like Yogi Berra, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Mariano Rivera, and Derek Jeter.
The pinstripes come with prestige, but they also come with expectation. The success has created plenty of animosity and jealousy, and any sign of weakness typically brings out the critics. The Yankees limped into the 2024 MLB All-Star break after an abysmal stretch over the past month, which even united other American League East rivals against them.
Baltimore Orioles All-Star Gunnar Henderson joined Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz to review the first half of their season before the All-Star Game at Globe Life Field in Arlington. During the interview, Ortiz took the opportunity to take some playful jabs at the Yankees.
Ortiz said nothing makes him happier than watching the Yankees lose and expressed his joy about the Orioles defeating the Yankees in their last game before the All-Star break. The Orioles pulled off a dramatic 6-5 comeback victory in the ninth inning to maintain a narrow lead in the division.
