‘Bust’ reality staring down Yankees in unnerving scenario: Sherman
NY Post
The other day I channel-surfed into the 1996 Yankee season opener on YES. The “classic” was timely as the organization is about to celebrate the silver anniversary of a champion that initiated a run of four titles in five years.
Yet, I couldn’t take my eyes off of the opponent. Holy heck, the Cleveland outfield that day was Albert Belle, Kenny Lofton and Manny Ramirez — all in their primes. And it had to be that good to overshadow the rest of a lineup that included Sandy Alomar Jr., Carlos Baerga, Julio Franco, Eddie Murray, Jim Thome and Omar Vizquel.
Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
