Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The 1950s were an incredible era for the Yankees. They won six championships in the decade, and a few more in the years immediately before and after it. You can probably name the legends from that time: Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford. However, every team needs supporting pieces, and one of that era’s would […]
Paying David Bednar $23.15 million for one season would be expensive. I’d still rather see the Yankees prepare for that […]
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox might do battle over Randy Arozarena's services in free agency, but New York would be wise to let him go.
The New York Yankees previously expressed interest in Washington Nationals center fielder Jacob Young, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported (h/t MLBTradeRumors.com).
I’ll admit that there was a strong urge to tune out of the postseason once the Rays swept the Yankees in the ALDS. With the Dodgers and Brewers on a collision course in the NLCS, LA having swept the Brewers in the same round last year, and two of the stingiest teams in the Rays […]
Detroit Tigers could consider Yankees All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. in free agency after a disappointing 2026 season. Is he worth the gamble?

The New York Yankees' starting pitching was the strength of the team, and its depth was a big reason why, but that makes trading from that surplus necessary.
The National League Championship Series might have ended in a four-game whooping of the Dodgers, but the American League Championship Series is already guaranteed for six. Following Friday’s rainout, the Rays brought the lumber to Cleveland with their best offensive showing of the postseason, ALDS sweep of the Yankees included. The 7-3 win knotting the […]
NJ.com | Randy Miller and Bob Klapisch: With no baseball on Friday night, Randy Miller and Bob Klapisch of NJ.com sat down to discuss what Yankees fans throughout the world are probably talking about: general manager Brian Cashman.

Diary of a Yankees Fan: Fans of the team are up in arms. The angst they have was captured in the Locked on Yankees Fan Mail Friday episode. The podcast is for fans of the team, who every Friday ask questions for the hosts Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon to answer. This weekly look provides […]
The Red Sox enter the offseason coming off back-to-back postseason eliminations at the hands of the Yankees in the American League Wild Card Series. While Boston took another step forward by reaching October for the second consecutive season, let’s not forget just how atrocious this team was during the first two months of the year.
The Yankees had a strong season overall but still clearly need to upgrade following a three-game ALDS sweep at the hands of the Rays. The bullpen is going to see some turnover with the injured Fernando Cruz being a non-tender candidate, as well as Paul Blackburn and closer David Bednar entering free agency. Jazz Chisholm […]
The Yankees have shown past interest in Nationals center fielder Jacob Young, writes Joel Sherman of The New York Post. It’s unclear whether the two sides engaged in formal talks or if it was just due diligence on the Yankees’ part, though the Nationals were known to be exploring a trade of Young back in […]
The New York Yankees are rumored to be interested in Miami Marlins second baseman Xavier Edwards, but pulling the trigger on a trade would be a big mistake.
Tyler Stephenson bats right-handed. His 2026 numbers against left-handed pitching, however, aren’t the automatic platoon solution the Yankees might hope […]
In truth, the decision for the Least Valuable Player of the 2026 Yankees only ever boiled down to two players. The two standout candidates for this ignominious award were Ryan McMahon and Trent Grisham, and for very similar reasons. In addition to their black hole bats polluting the lineup, there was apprehension from the start […]
Amid ongoing concerns over their depth at third base, a new report links the New York Yankees to Japanese pitching phenom Shoki Oda as a top target for next season. As the New York Yankees position themselves for a big 2027 season, speculation is already building around how the roster could take shape. Early reports suggest the Bronx Bombers have their sights set on international talent, including Japanese standout Shoki Oda . According to Joel Sherman of The New York Post , the Yankees...
I’d bring Giancarlo Stanton to camp without reserving the designated hitter job for him. The Yankees can give a familiar […]
If you’re choosing not to watch the rest of the MLB postseason, I don’t blame you at all. However, something interesting happened in Game 2 of the NLCS, something that prompted me to reflect on the Yankees’ performance (or lack of) against the Rays. Down 1-0 against the Brewers, the Dodgers started Yoshinobu Yamamoto to […]
The New York Yankees must pursue Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams at all costs, even if it means giving up multiple top-30 prospects.
Shohei Ohtani and Jazz Chisholm Jr. are among the notable MLB players whose futures have recently come up in notable rumors.
We’re two weeks down in the annual pilgrimage to the desert, and it’s been an up-and-down experience for the Yankees’ contingent and the rest of the Salt River Rafters. A very strong opening week shifted to a more challenging second week, one that saw several prospects struggle. As a reminder, if you want a quick […]
The Automated Ball Strike (ABS) Challenge System was newly implemented in the majors this season and changed the game for the better. José Caballero made MLB history on Opening Night, tapping his helmet after a questionable strike call to trigger the very first ABS challenge during the Yankees’ season opener against the Giants. Although the […]
Jon Heyman reported in the New York Post that one or two Yankees executives were “slightly to somewhat annoyed” by […]
