Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Oh, Anthony Volpe. Once one of the most promising position player prospects the Yankees have produced in recent years, and a feel-good story of the local kid making the team out of spring training back in 2023, Volpe’s penchant for long periods of futility has turned him into one of the most polarizing players on […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After winning the AL Rookie of the Year award in 2024, Luis Gil’s 2025 season was not what he wanted. Limited to just 11 starts last year due to injury, Gil’s looking forward to 2026 and so far the early returns of spring have been encouraging. Hoch also has some notes […]
Spring training is all about watching talent you can dream on—even with the fever-pitched debates around the futures of Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones in Yankee circles, it’s always a treat when either of them connect. Today, both of them homered early in the Yankees’ 4-2 Grapefruit League victory over the Phillies in Clearwater. J.C. […]
Pardon our delay on the game thread this afternoon! It’s spring training for all of us, but we did want to get one set up in case anyone wanted to chime in on the Yanks/Phils road matchup today. Luis Gil will aim to build on his much more impressive last time out in comparison to […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Yankees: Let’s talk about it.
Steve Howe was an extraordinary pitcher. Featuring a bowling-ball sinker that he could locate with pinpoint control, his arm talent and tenacity distinguished him from the competition at every stage of his baseball life. He accomplished things on the field that should form the foundation of a proud legacy. Unfortunately, Howe never got the chance […]
As has been the case with all of our coverage surrounding young starting pitchers for the Yankees, their importance to the club early in the year would be hard to overstate. With each of Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt on the shelf to begin the season, depth in the rotation will be vital, […]
The closer we get to Opening Day, the sooner we’ll lean about the Yankees’ ultimate roster plans. Manager Aaron Boone got the obvious out of the way last night, with the confirmation that 2025 ace free-agent signing Max Fried will be the Opening Day starter. If you had to line up the Yankees’ rotation beyond […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: To no one’s surprise, Max Fried will be taking the baton first for the Yankee rotation in 2026. The team officially announced that Fried will be the Opening Day starter on March 25th against the Giants, setting up their ace from the 2025 season to start things off. Fried didn’t get […]
Look. It’s spring training. I’m not going to get too wound up in the final score. There was some really good tonight and some really blah tonight. On the positive side of the ledger, just-announced Opening Day starter Max Fried looked like an ace on the mound, mixing his repertoire and flummoxing Pirates hitters. Meanwhile, […]

The Yankees announced today that they’ve optioned two of their top prospects, Spencer Jones and Elmer Rodríguez, to minor league camp. The two will finish out spring training at minor league camp and will start their seasons with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. Even as they head back to the minors, both prospects showed very well with […]
Spring training continues tonight for the Yankees, with Pittsburgh coming to George M. Steinbrenner Field to face off with the Bronx Bombers. A considerable chunk of the Yankees’ roster is occupied at the World Baseball Classic—albeit with Jazz Chisholm Jr. and José Caballero now about to head home with their teams eliminated— but the Yanks […]

Spring plods along, and we’re now just a few weeks away from Opening Day and the real start of the 2026 season. The World Baseball Classic will cover a good portion of that time, and the tournament is heating up as pool play is wrapping up in the next couple of days. The United States […]
When Gerrit Cole was forced to miss the 2025 season with Tommy John surgery, several young pitchers were forced to step up ahead of schedule to provide valuable innings in the ace’s stead. Cam Schlittler stole headlines with his late season surge, however there was another rookie pitcher who was arguably just as impressive, just […]
Where were you when Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball drifted toward Aaron Boone, almost like a butterfly dancing in the wind? Every Yankees fan remembers that October night in 2003. The stage was set after New York completed its comeback to force extra innings. Wakefield’s pitch floated the way only his knuckleball could. The crack of the […]
Meet the Mets In the televised Spring Subway Series, Freddy Peralta and the Mets defeated Ryan Weathers and the Yankees by the score of 10-4. Freddy Peralta isn’t just an incredibly good pitcher, he’s also a pretty solid hang in the clubhouse. In International Met News, Juan Soto hit a mercy rule walk off home […]
New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: As he recovers from offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum, shortstop Anthony Volpe addressed reporters this week. At the moment, the former top prospect, who may have suffered the injury last May, has progressed in his rehab from simply fielding grounders to diving, has yet to face […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! We finally got some real, meaningful baseball this week, as the 2026 World Baseball Classic is finally underway. A whopping 13 Yankees have suited up for this year’s tourney, led of course by Yankees and Team […]
More than the vast majority of spring training games, this matchup between the Yankees and Mets was all about the starting pitchers. While both of them disappointed on their own levels, Ryan Weathers’ disastrous outing proved pivotal in the Yankees’ 10-4 loss against an underwhelming Freddy Peralta. It might have read 82 degrees and sunny […]
The Mets defeated the Yankees today in Port St. Lucie by a score of 10-4. With a victory both today and on February 22, the Mets have swept the all-important Grapefruit League Subway Series. Look for celebratory merch ASAP. The Mets are back on SNY tomorrow evening against the Marlins.
Perhaps the projected starter with the most to prove in a Yankee uniform—looking to establish himself this spring training in a new organization after an injury-riddled campaign with the Marlins—Ryan Weathers gets the opportunity to face a rather strong Mets lineup despite its many absences with multiple superstars competing in the World Baseball Classic. Even […]

While he had a perfectly nice major league career, the name Jim Bouton is probably only going to evoke one thing, and it’s not his pitching. While he was able to get the chance to do it because he was a major league pitcher of some regard, Bouton is most famous for his 1970 book […]
