The New York Yankees and New York Mets don't do a lot of dealing. But they actually line up pretty nicely to help one another before the MLB trade deadline, if they want. The Athletic's Jim Bowden explains in a new article Monday:

After tearing up Triple-A pitching for a few weeks, catcher Francisco Alvarez was recalled Monday by the New York Mets and immediately reinserted into the starting lineup.

Rico Garcia might need to re-fill his MetroCard. The right-handed reliever had already bounced between the Mets and Yankees this season, and he’s now heading back to Flushing Meadows for a second stint with the Mets, who picked him up off waivers on Monday.

The New York Yankees are bringing back the traditional Old-Timers’ Day format in 2025. And the alumni game will include the greatest closer of all time, Mariano Rivera, and the best starting pitcher in MLB history to not make the Hall of Fame, Roger Clemens.

As one of the more recognizable and historic franchises throughout all of sports, the New York Yankees have no shortage of high-profile supporters. Surprisingl

The Mets need outfield help. The Yankees want to upgrade third base. And both teams are hovering in must-win territory—with different motivations. For the Mets, it’s about salvaging 2025. For the Yankees, it’s about October. Of course, there are problems. Big ones.

“Guardians are listening on relievers, including stars Cade Smith and Emmanuel Clasé,” New York Post MLB insider Jon Heyman reported on Saturday. “Prices are understandably high. They are seen as not too likely to trade either top pen guy, and with MLB’s easiest closing schedule, they aren’t even a certain seller.”

John Oliver was asked why he picked the New York Mets over the New York Yankees when he first moved to America. He didn't mince words.
