NEW YORK The night before the Yankees home opener, Aaron Judge sent a message in the team group chat, simply saying: "Suits tomorrow." So the team rolled up to the Bronx wearing suits. The clubhouse was fired up to follow the Yankee captains directive and continue that momentum onto the field. Their formal wear set the tone for what would end up being a series win against the Miami Marlins in front of a Bronx crowd that loved the new attitude from a team that has played heads-up baseball to start the season. "Theres been an intensity to everything theyve done, and a focus on every little detail," manager Aaron Boone said this past weekend in a crowded press conference room at Yankee Stadium. "I just think its a very hungry, focused group is how Id describe it. And those guys are driving that." These days, the Yankees are taking everything seriously. Frankly, its a frame of mind thats been missing and badly needed in recent years. Players have talked about wanting to be more aggressive on the basepaths this year, and weve already seen fruitful results in the early going. The Yankees enter Tuesday leading the American League in stolen bases, with Judge and, yes, even Giancarlo Stanton, swiping one bag each in their first nine games of the year. On Saturday, Stanton stole his first base in a regular-season game since 2020. He eventually trotted around the bases and scored on a passed ball in the Yankees comeback win. Even if it doesnt always work out, as evidenced by Trent Grisham being thrown out at third base in the eighth inning of Fridays win, the Yankees pushing the envelope is a positive change for the organization. Particularly in recent years under the Boone era, the team has been heavily criticized for their June swoons that feature a complete lack of fundamentals, sloppy play, and an absence of concentration and focus. Their mental mistakes reached the point of becoming a part of their identity. After the Dodgers defeated the Yankees in the 2024 World Series, Los Angeles players said they were simply just waiting for the Bronx Bombers to slip up on the field. So, now, even the Yankees acknowledging their league-wide reputation and attempting to reverse it is refreshing. The most critical part will be maintaining that edge and accountability throughout the year. Slumps are going to happen. But a lack of hustle and poor situational hitting has seemingly become unacceptable for the Yankees, who are eager to win a championship in the Judge-Stanton-Gerrit Cole era. Good teams find ways to win even when theyre not at full strength or playing their best. Take Judges early-season performance, for example. The three-time MVP resembled a league-average hitter in the first week of the year, and the Yankees have still managed to put up a 7-2 start. Judge entered Friday hitting .125/.160/.375 in his first six games of the season. Compare that mediocre performance to the start of 2024, when Judge hit .125/.214/.167 in his first six games of the season. Judge actually had a worse start to the 24 season than the one he experienced in the short sample this year. In both instances, the Yankees went 5-1 in that stretch. In both instances, Judge hit a home run in his seventh game. In 24, of course, Judge won his second-career MVP despite the slow start. This year, too, Judge is the favorite to win the award. There was a time not too long ago when the Yankees lineup was built to depend on year-long, MVP-caliber production from Judge in order to be competitive in the tough AL East. Thats part of why after Judge slammed into the Dodger Stadium bullpen gate and tore a ligament in his right big toe in June 2023, forcing him to miss 42 games that season, the Yankees couldnt make up for his bat in the lineup. Forget even trying to flourish without the Yankee captain. The team struggled mightily to string wins together, playing under .500 during his absence before eventually missing the playoffs for the first time in seven years. Now, the Yankees are still dangerous without Judge putting up video-game numbers (yet). First baseman Ben Rice is off to a torrid start. He hit his third home run of the season in Sundays loss to the Marlins. Hes batting .370 in eight games, and he leads the major leagues with a 1.380 OPS so far this season. Right-hander Cam Schlittler enters his third start of the year on Tuesday having limited opposing hitters to a 0.79 batting average, which ranks third-lowest across all MLB pitchers. As a staff, Yankees starting pitchers open their series against the Athletics flaunting the best ERA (1.81) in MLB. Yankees starters are throwing so well that, for the most part, theyve been able to cover up the teams weaknesses. The bullpen has permitted 10 earned runs in 13.2 innings their last four games entering Tuesday. The Yankees 6-9 hitters in Jazz Chisholm, Austin Wells, Jose Caballero and Ryan McMahon have a combined .144 average to start the year. Thats pretty abysmal, and outside of Chisholm, its not like those bats are underperforming, either. Normally, the news of left-hander Carlos Rodon having a setback in his rehab would be fresh meat for those that are hyper-critical of the Yankees health and training processes. Rodon is recovering from an October surgery that removed loose bodies from his left elbow. On Sunday, after throwing 50 pitches in batting practice, he felt his right hamstring tighten up while running. Thats something worth watching as the southpaw attempts to rejoin the rotation sometime next month. Rodons setback was just the latest reminder that the Yankees arent even at full strength yet. That will happen when their ace, Cole, returns from Tommy John rehab sometime around late May or early June. In theory, that will also happen when shortstop Anthony Volpe returns to the team after undergoing an October surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Its been impressive to see what the Yankees can achieve while playing slapdash baseball. They went to the Fall Classic in 2024 while the rest of the world knew their season-long lack of fundamentals would hurt them. They tied the Blue Jays for the best record in the AL East in 2025, a 94-win season, while baserunning blunders and sloppy defense were a part of their formula. This year, the Yankees are cleaning up their mistakes and improving on the margins. It will be fascinating to see how much stronger theyll be because of it. If they can hold onto that higher level of execution all year, it could be the difference between an early October exit and a ticker-tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes.

Hall of Fame former Cleveland Browns tackle Joe Thomas pumps his fist as he walks on stage to announce the Browns second round pick during the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday, April 25, 2025, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The draft runs through April 26. Tork Mason/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin | Tork Mason / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesWhether it is our DBN community NFL mock draft (which went a surprise direction so far, starting with pick #2), our Cleveland Browns mock draft with no quarterback or offensive tackle in the first two rounds, JohnW81 doing a mock draft in The Feed based off of a Mary Kay Cabot comment, or Doug Farrars two round Browns mock draft, there are a lot of ways to create an NFL mock draft.When it comes to trades, it is always hard to predict how they can shake up the actual NFL draft. Clevelands trade down from the second pick in 2025 opened the door for what would become a very solid rookie class for the Browns.Instead of doing a normal NFL mock draft, ESPNs Bill Barnwell created one involving a trade for every selection in the first round of this years draft. For Cleveland, that involved two different moves, starting with a complicated trade down from the sixth overall selection:Browns get:1-12, 1-20, 2027 second-round pickCowboys get:1-6, 1-24, 2027 fifth-round pickThe fifth-round pick complicates things slightly, but the big ticket item is that Cleveland moves down six spots at the top of the draft and up four later in the first round while adding a key second-round pick next year. Barnwell notes that the Browns long-term answer under center would be in the 2027 class.While a trade with Dallas seems to be a popular proposal, adding just four spots lower in the first round and a 27 second-rounder is too light for Cleveland GM Andrew Berry to move out of selecting a premium player in this years draft. Many believe this years draft has between six and eight top players, with a drop off to the next 10-20 prospects. Picks 20 and 24 seem to have similar value this year, so adding a selection that could be around pick 60 is not enough value for this deal to go through.With the Browns other first-round pick, Barnwell has the team dropping to the bottom of the first while adding a late third-round pick and a sixth-rounder. The article also suggests that Cleveland could move up from the second round, using more draft capital than suggested in their trade down from the 24th pick, to possibly select QB Ty Simpson.All in all, none of the three trades involving the Browns really move the needle. All three could be interesting, in general, but are either not worth it (Cowboys deal), an underpay to move down (deal with the New England Patriots to drop out of #24), or an overpay to move up (deal with the Seattle Seahawks to move up to #32).All in all, fun to think about, but nothing to get excited about.What do you think about the details of the suggested CLE/DAL deal?Share your thoughts in the comment section belowJoin the conversation!Sign up for a user account and get:Fewer adsCreate community postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community postsNew, improved notifications system!
