Aaron Boone explains controversial pitching decision to NY Yankees closer David Bednar

Aaron Boone voiced a sincere message explaining the reasoning behind his decision to send David Bednar to the mound in a game that was well out of reach for the New York Yankees. New York Yankees fans were taken aback when closer David Bednar took to the mound in the eighth inning of the series’ opener against the Los Angeles Angels. The Pinstripers were down 7-1, and manager Aaron Boone still sent the team’s star to the mound in a game that had been over for a while. Asked about it, Boone i...

NY Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. puts MLB on notice with ‘winning mindset’ confession

Although free agency is knocking on his door, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is focused on the 2026 MLB season, and very confident the New York Yankees can accomplish big things. Jazz Chisholm Jr. will become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) after the 2026 MLB season. Still, he isn’t letting that bother him, and he made that clear time and again.

Fatal flaw that will doom Yankees’ chances of winning AL East

The New York Yankees passed a major test last weekend when they squared off with their archrivals from Boston and beat the Red Sox decisively in 3 of the 4 games at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees played harder, more effectively and rose to the occasion, while the Red Sox seemed to run out of gas […] The post Fatal flaw that will doom Yankees’ chances of winning AL East appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Monte Pearson

As they entered Game 2 of the 1939 World Series, the Reds had cause for optimism. Despite facing a juggernaut Yankees squad going for their fourth straight title, and despite dropping a heartbreaking Game 1 as Bill Dickey walked them off in the bottom of the ninth, Cincinnati were turning to their not-so-secret weapon. After […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays’ Freddy Peralta burns the Mets again

It got a little weird at times, but the Yankees had control for the vast majority of last night’s game in Anaheim, a welcome return to normalcy after an ugly 10-1 blowout loss on Monday.

After Imprisoning The Angels In The Toilet For Decades, Arte Moreno Is Cashing Out

To sum up the quarter-century of Los Angeles Angels baseball under owner Arte Moreno requires someone who knows him and them better than we do, so let's go to Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken, who responded to Moreno's abrupt decision to sell the team on Tuesday  thusly : “I feel like it’s my birthday.” And there's your Angels postgame show for today. Our final score again: Yankees 7, Angels 3. We'll see you tomorrow, and please drive home safely.

The Opener: Williams, Peralta, Webb vs. Skenes

The Angels were dispatched by the Yankees on Tuesday, but the loss was a footnote for the organization after Rams owner Stan Kroenke agreed to buy the team from Arte Moreno earlier in the day. The Tarps Off crew changed their well-known chant of “sell the team” to the victorious “sold the team” last night. […]

What do you think of position players pitching?

Last weekend I took a break from watching Phillies baseball to travel to New York, where old friend Ranger Suarez was pitching against the Yankees. Sadly, Ranger did not have one of his better days; the result was that the BoSox found themselves putting a position player, Andruw Monasterio, on the mound to finish off […]

Is it time for a change in center field?

The Yankees are gearing up to welcome Aaron Judge back into the fold sometime soon, perhaps as soon as this current road trip is over. When he returns to the lineup, the team will at last have their Opening Day outfield of Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Trent Grisham all healthy again. However, while the team […]

Yankees news: Trent Grisham has become a problem

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner (unlocked): The Yankees took a calculated risk in offering Trent Grisham the $22 million qualifying offer last winter, and you could make a fair argument the gamble hasn’t paid off. Grish has been the worst center fielder in baseball by OAA and the slowest at the position as well. He’s […]
