Sal Licata delivered his fiery first-half grades for New York's baseball teams, giving the Mets a resounding 'A' for exceeding expectations and overcoming significant injuries, despite Juan Soto's struggles with runners in scoring position. In contrast, he handed the Yankees a 'B', citing maddening inconsistencies, questionable managerial decisions, defensive blunders (particularly from Anthony Volpe), and a general underperformance against pre-season expectations, even with Aaron Judge's stellar play. Licata emphasized that while both teams are in good spots heading into the All-Star break, the Yankees have more room for improvement, and he isn't shy about calling out their flaws.
