What happened: The Yankees' Wednesday game has not started yet and remains 0-0 as the club carries a two-game winning streak into the day. The Mets are already out of postseason contention, keeping front-office questions in focus as September winds down.

Why it matters: That split matters because one New York club is still playing for late-season results while the other has shifted toward organizational decisions. The Yankees' position keeps award chatter tied to current performance, and the Mets' status makes leadership direction a bigger part of the conversation.

What to watch: Watch for any concrete Yankees development that strengthens the award case and for any defined next step on the Mets' GM job. The Yankees' game is still awaiting first pitch.
