Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Today, the Atlanta Braves have released their full 40-man Spring Breakout roster. It’s filled with their top prospects who will compete against the Yankees on March 21. This is just a preliminary roster pool, as only 27 of those 40 players will actually make the final roster. Below you will find a list of the […]
Much of the baseball world is gearing up for the World Baseball Classic, but there’s another fun preseason date on coming up on the calendar: MLB’s Spring Breakout. Now in its third year, the Spring Breakout games feature rosters that consist only of each team’s prospects, who get a chance to showcase their abilities against […]
All good things must come to an end, and a nine-game winning streak in Grapefruit League/exhibition play only really registers so much as “good.” The Yankees lost a fake baseball game for the first time since February 22nd, and they did so with a starting pitcher who will probably not be a starter for them […]
The hottest prospects that the Atlanta Braves have to offer are set to face off against the New York Yankees and their collection of farm system talent on March 21 at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. We knew the date and the time (6:35 p.m. ET, to be exact) but we didn’t know the […]
First Pitch (CT): 12:05TV: Twins.TV (via YES)Radio: NAKnow Yo’ Foe: Pinstripe Alley What to watch: Luke Keaschall, left fielder?? Good to get some reps out there since he’ll likely be used to platoon Larnach/Wallner/Roden/Outman/Rodriguez against lefties. Lineups
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was perhaps no better rivalry in MLB than the Yankees and Royals. They seemingly met every postseason in the ALCS for the right to represent the Junior Circuit in the World Series, the Yankees usually coming out on top of those yearly meetings. A mainstay of those […]
Giancarlo Stanton is one of the most powerful hitters in the history of baseball. No player hits the ball harder or farther. Nobody swings the bat with the sheer force that he does. If injuries didn’t cost him big chunks of his Yankees tenure, there’s no telling how many home runs he would have. But […]
There’s nothing like the early days of spring to get the imagination going. Pitchers show up with new pitches, hitters show up with improved swings and approaches, everyone is in the best shape of their lives, and hope springs, well, eternal. Among those bright spring training traditions is letting one’s optimism run wild when it […]
MLB.com | Ian Browne: George Lombard Jr.’s strong spring continued Wednesday as he took Red Sox ace Garret Crochet deep to lead off a Grapefruit League game. The Yankees’ top prospect pulled the ball 392 feet and it exited his bat at 104.2 mph. Crochet was “just trying to push it up in the zone […]
Is it on TV? Oh yeah, it’s even on ESPN! You know baseball’s getting close when spring training games start popping up on national networks. First pitch is at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s not the most interesting spring lineup you could see, but it’s nice to get more […]
Good news, everyone: you’ll actually be able to watch today’s spring training game. After an offday on Monday and the first non-televised game at George M. Steinbrenner Field in some time in yesterday’s mercy-rule exhibition against Panama, the Yankees will be live on ESPN in Fort Myers to renew their rivalry with the Boston Red […]
An outstanding hitter who started his career as a pitcher is involved in a trade between the Yankees and Red Sox. While this statement could be used to outline the career of the legendary Babe Ruth, it also rings true for the not-nearly-as-renowned Lefty O’Doul — a talented player in his own right and the […]
Big contract numbers do not shock baseball fans the way they once did. A decade ago, a $300 million deal felt seismic. Today, Steve Cohen’s Mets have shown what happens when new money enters the sport, and the Dodgers have demonstrated how aggressive spending and deferred structures can be used as part of a fully […]
Come Opening Day, the Yankees’ starting rotation will be far from full strength. Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole will both be on the injured list to begin the 2026 campaign, but the Bombers will also be without Clarke Schmidt for a significant stretch to begin the year. The right-hander is recovering from Tommy John surgery, […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: A lot of news came out regarding Cam Schlittler’s “I have arrived” start in last year’s Wild Card Series. Now, though, we found out what he credits his success to: a good night of sleep. The righty has been tracking his sleep through WHOOP technology and said the […]

The Yankees faced an unconventional opponent at George M. Steinbrenner Field today: the Panamanian national team. With the World Baseball Classic on the horizon, the majority of the tournament’s participants played against MLB teams in exhibition contests today. This was one of the more lopsided results: the Yankees had little trouble scoring against Panama’s pitching […]
The World Baseball Classic is almost upon us. As the international tournament gets ready to upstage spring training, their teams will play in exhibition games against MLB teams today and tomorrow before the Classic begins later in the week. The Yankees will host Team Panama this afternoon at Steinbrenner Field. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear this […]
Baseball produces plenty of Hall of Famers whose glory and stat lines fade with time. Sayings, however, tend to stick around, passed down from generation to generation like prized baseball cards. “Keep your eye on the ball!” Most fans recognize the phrase. Far fewer know it came from Willie Keeler, a Hall of Fame outfielder […]
It’s really hard not to get excited about Cam Schlittler. His 2025 was a season of dreams, seeing the young right-hander start the year with Double-A Trenton, and ending it with one of the best playoff starts in the history of the entire Yankee franchise. In a year without Gerrit Cole, the Yankees kind of […]
The leadup to the World Baseball Classic is nearly at its apex, with group play beginning later this week. The Yankees, for their part as a team, will play an exhibition game later today against the Panama team that will be participating in Pool A. But more notably for some of their individual players, they’ll […]
MLB.com | Jim Callis: MLB Pipeline has released its list of the Yankees’ top 30 prospects for 2026 and George Lombard Jr. retains his spot as their No. 1 prospect. The shortstop drafted 26th overall in the 2023 MLB Draft reached Double-A as a 20 year old in 2025 and has impressed this spring, going […]
We’re in the full swing of spring training now, and the few roster spots that the Yankees have up for grabs have some good competition going on. Their retooled bullpen has several names that could make the roster or see themselves outrighted to Triple-A Scranton to start the year, as guys like Brent Headrick and […]
Not all ballplayers need to be well-rounded in order to find success. Sometimes, one skill is enough to keep them in demand. That’s the case for Amed Rosario, who’s played for six teams over the last three seasons alone for one simple season: the man hits lefties. 2025 Stats (with Nationals and Yankees): 191 PA, .276/.309/.436, […]
For the first time since the spring training Grapefruit League slate began on February 20th, the New York Yankees will not play a baseball game today. Since we don’t have new Statcast data and game film to analyze, that makes today the perfect opportunity to kickstart what is, in my opinion, the best preseason series […]
