@peteabeglobe.bsky.social: "Devers has only two errors over 26 career postseason games and 204 innings. There is more to measuring defense than errors, but that suggests it’s more a matter of focus than ability." Devers has .960 pct. postseason vs. .944 reg season. Bregman is .967 post/.968 reg.

The Yankees have signed Manager Aaron Boone to a two-year contract extension through the 2027 season. Let me get ahead of the haters - this is a smart move. Boonie is the third Yankees manager to make the playoffs in 6 of his first 7 seasons, joining Casey Stengel and Joe Torre.

If you are looking for a great (and fun) history of the NY Mets, may I recommend: "So Many Ways to Lose: The Amazin' True Story of the New York Mets—the Best Worst Team in Sports" by Devin Gordon. It is a perfect spring training book to get you into baseball shape. Great research, terrific writing.
