Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The New York Yankees entered the 2025 campaign after losing a superstar from their 2024 pennant-winning club to free agency and their ace to season-ending surgery before Opening Day even arrived.

The […]

We’re two years plus two days removed from the Juan Soto trade. The Yankees landed one of the very best hitters in the sport, got a top 3 MVP season out of him, went to the World Series. We all knew it was borrowed time — Soto was going to play out his final year […]

On July 30, 2024, Gerrit Cole was scratched from his start in Philadelphia due to “general body fatigue.” Without many options to overcome this, the Yankees turned to one of their top pitching prospects in the minors, promoting Will Warren to make his major league debut. Warren would make six total appearances in 2024 as […]

The Yankees will likely head into the 2026 season with a different first baseman penciled into the starting lineup. With Paul Goldschmidt’s one-year deal expiring, it will more than likely be Ben Rice taking over the job on the right side, but there are also plenty of options out on the open market, if the […]

We’ve reached the official start of the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings, perhaps the most fun stretch on the offseason calendar. The scene is a bit different than the one we found a year ago; in 2024, the meetings kicked off with Juan Soto having already spurned the Yankees for the Mets. At the time, it […]

Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley, where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. After forgetting about it for a brief time during the stretch run and playoffs, I got back to the series in November, by making an […]

MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Add another team to the list of suitors for free agent and former Yankee Cody Bellinger. The Philadelphia Phillies have apparently thrown their hat in the ring for the versatile lefty slugger. It sounds like Plan A for the Phils remains re-signing Kyle Schwarber. If that’s the case, then […]

1946 After 21 years establishing his Hall of Fame credentials with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, pitcher Red Ruffing signed with the White Sox as a free agent. Ruffing, in his 40s but returning to the Yankees after World War II service, was remarkably efficient in part-time used in 1945 and 1946, […]

Jack Curry kind of set the Yankee world on fire earlier this week on YES Network’s “Yankees Hot Stove” program, seemingly implying that no major moves were planned for this winter. We’re still reasonably early in the offseason, so I’ll believe that interpretation when the team heads down to Tampa, but more than one report […]

Pretty much anyone who is at least mildly plugged into baseball is aware that the Winter Meetings begin tomorrow. So that means the offseason activity will pick up again, right? Right? It’s not going to continue to be crickets? I think we’ll get some movement, even if the activity is not as scintillating as last […]

New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: We’ve arrived at the eve of the Winter Meetings, and we know what the storylines are for the Yankees. New York wants to add one more outfielder, a starter, and shore up their relief depth, but no one knows how much Hal Steinbrenner is willing to spend to […]

The Yankees’ offseason has gotten off to a quiet start. That fact, in and of itself, is not particularly alarming. The baseball offseason, despite the popular ‘hot stove’ term, rarely moves all that quickly at first. But when a rival team makes aggressive moves early on, fans start to get antsy. The Blue Jays, who […]

On Tuesday, Sonny Gray greeted Red Sox Nation with exactly what it wanted to hear. Here’s the money quote: “It feels good to me to be able to go to a place now where it’s easy to hate the Yankees.” Not only is the quote bellicose, but the delivery leaves little room for epexegesis: Now […]

To the surprise of many in baseball, Luis Severino left New York, where he’d pitched for both the Yankees and Mets, and signed a three-year, $67 million deal with the Athletics before the 2025 season. It wasn’t long before Severino complained about the conditions at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. And it’s no wonder — […]

Last year, the Yankees were theoretically in the market for some sort of infielder. It became pretty clear early on that they were likely going to let Gleyber Torres go. That would open second base for them to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to his more natural position, while freeing up third base. In the […]

It was a quiet day on the front, with the hot stove doing little to surprise us yesterday as we amble towards the winter meetings. The Yankees made something resembling news, announcing their 2026 coaching staff, though that was more a formality, as they mostly confirmed earlier reports of changes within their staff. It’s not […]
