Yankees flameout Clint Frazier decries ‘too many rocket scientists' running franchise
The Yankees' math never really added up for Clint Frazier. Frazier, who famously couldn't stick with the big league club after years as a top prospect, seemingly has lingering beef with the franchise and its analytically driven focus. 'I do feel like they hired a few too many rocket scientists to try to like make the lineup,' Frazier said on 'Foul Territory' on Thursday, 'instead of just like letting a former player or a guy that has more experience write the lineup.' Advertisement Foul Territory/ YouTube. He recalled to fellow ex-Yankee and podcast host Erik Kratz being told by one analyst that there is no such thing as 'players getting hot.' 'I could 55-for-55, and they would be like, 'he's not hot, he's going to cool down.' They believed you were what you were,' he said. 'And in my mind, I was like, that's not using your eyes… you gotta run with that sometimes.' Advertisement Frazier was a polarizing presence for the Yankees upon his arrival as a 21-year-old prospect from Cleveland in 2016 as part of the Andrew Miller trade — in part due to his flowing red locks. The Yankees relaxed their hair policy this season, giving Frazier one more qualm with his former franchise. Clint Frazier as a Yankee. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Advertisement 'I was just highly offended man,' he said. 'I felt like I was one of the guys there trying to push the envelope. That felt personal.' Frazier never realized his potential over parts of five MLB seasons with the Bombers, struggling with multiple concussions and getting released in 2021 and bouncing from the Cubs to the Rangers to the White Sox, seeing his last MLB action in 2023. Advertisement Once the No. 53 prospect in top 100, Frazier's MLB days ended with a .235 batting average, 29 home runs and 101 RBIs over parts of 7 MLB seasons. Frazier officially retired last season after a run with the Charleston Dirty Birds in the Atlantic League.

Astros vs. A's prediction: MLB player props, picks, best bets
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Luis Severino has made it known that he's not a big fan of playing in Sacramento. The ex-Yankee and ex-Met vocalized his frustrations with Sutter Health Park earlier this year, acknowledging its 'tough' to pitch in his new home. His numbers thus far in California's capital bear that sentiment. Severino has a whopping 7.10 ERA at Sutter Health Park this season, which is the fifth-highest in baseball among starters with at least seven outings at their home park. He has allowed six homers and 19 doubles across nine outings at Sutter Health, which are puzzling numbers considering what he's done on the road. Away from Sacramento, Severino has a 0.93 ERA in six starts while not allowing a single home run, suggesting that there really is something bothering him at his home ballpark. Severino has a shot to get right against the Astros on Wednesday, but the ballpark once again won't be doing him any favors. Luis Severino delivers a pitch during the second inning of the A's 6-4 win over the Royals on June 13, 2025. AP Weather forecasts call for toasty near-100-degree weather in Sacramento, meaning the ball will likely be flying out of what has been the most hitter-friendly park in the league this season. The A's have let Severino pitch deep into games at Sutter Health despite his lack of success, going at least five innings at home in all but one start, so we want to avoid taking the under on his strikeout or out player props. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting Instead, I'm targeting the over on his earned runs line. Severino has given up at least three runs in seven of his nine outings at home, and it'll be tough to avoid hitting that number once again on Wednesday. The play: Luis Severino Over 3 Earned Runs Why Trust New York Post Betting Dylan Svoboda is a versatile writer and analyst across many sports.

"He outworked everybody in this room": Aaron Judge gives rare praise to former teammate and current Red Sox player
Image Source: Getty Carlos Narváez, once a Yankees prospect, is now shining as Boston's top catcher after a December 2024 trade. His big hits and strong defence have made him a Red Sox star. Aaron Judge, his former teammate, recently praised his hard work. Carlos Narváez shines in Red Sox victory Since joining the Boston Red Sox from the New York Yankees, Carlos Narváez has become a big piece of the puzzle. On June 8, 2025 he hit a 3 run homer in the 6th inning to help Boston beat the Yankees 11-7. The Red Sox won 2 of 3 in the series. Narváez played 6 games for the Yankees in 2024 and has a .820 OPS in 50 games with Boston. He's also great behind the plate and with the pitchers. His former teammate Aaron Judge wasn't surprised.

His strong hitting and defence have made him a fan favourite. Another ex-Yankee, Agustín Ramírez, is also doing well with the Miami Marlins after a trade.

Aroldis Chapman expects boos in latest Bronx return as Red Sox closer's trade stock keeps rising
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free For now, Aroldis Chapman is with the Red Sox, pitching at nearly peak form after several mediocre seasons that began in his latter stages with the Yankees. The left-hander could end up being a coveted trade candidate, especially if Boston remains on the outside of the playoff race. Advertisement Before that happens, though, Chapman has a chance to close games in the heated Yankees-Red Sox rivalry for the first time — and he said Friday he has a pretty good idea of what to expect from the Stadium crowd this weekend. 'I think they're going to boo me,'' Chapman said through an interpreter before Friday's series opener in The Bronx. 3 Aroldis Chapman throws a pitch during the Red Sox's June 3 game. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Advertisement Asked if that would bother him, the ex-Yankee closer laughed and said, 'No, it's not the first time that it would happen.' That's certainly true, as Chapman had a very rocky tenure with the Yankees that included parts of seven seasons. It ended in particularly ugly fashion as Chapman missed a month late in the regular season when he got a leg tattoo in mid-August and it got infected. Advertisement 3 Aroldis Chapman walks off the field during the Yankees' game against the Rays in August 2022. Charles Wenzelberg He returned in September, but was left off the ALDS roster when he skipped a team workout prior to the start of the series. 'There were a lot of ups and downs,'' Chapman said. 'I try to think about the good moments I spent here.' CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Advertisement The positives included three All-Star appearances, but the lows were more memorable — including Jose Altuve's walk-off homer in Game 6 to clinch the ALCS in 2019 and Mike Brousseau's go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth inning of Game 5 of the 2020 ALDS that helped seal the series for the Rays. 3 Carlos Narváez and Aroldis Chapman react after the Red Sox defeated the White Sox on April 13. Getty Images Chapman went on to sign with the Royals that offseason and was traded to the Rangers in the middle of the year, where he went on to help Texas win a World Series title. After spending last year with the Pirates, Chapman, 37, signed a one-year, $10.75 million deal with Boston. He entered Friday with a 0.960 WHIP in 25 innings over 27 appearances. Chapman can still hit triple digits. Advertisement Chapman's fastball velocity is also a bit higher than it was a year ago, an improvement he called 'nothing special. I just keep working hard and want to help my team win and get back into the playoffs.' There are plenty of contenders who will be looking for bullpen help in the next month or so and Chapman could again factor in those conversations.
