Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The ball was flying at George M. Steinbrenner with the Mets blasting four home runs to defeat the Yankees 6-4 in the spring version of the Subway Series. On the other side of the ball the team’s pitching mostly held up well especially considering they faced quite a few Yankee starters for a few at […]
The first two games of the Yankees’ spring schedule showcased the two hottest pitching prospects in the organization, Elmer Rodríguez and Carlos Lagrange. Today, a post-hype-prospect-turned-post-hype Major Leaguer gets the ball. Luis Gil will need a big spring to reestablish his place in the MLB rotation, especially with those two hotshots rising through the ranks. […]

Ah, can you hear that? The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowds, the Death Star siren as Cam Schlittler is about to fan yet another batter to end the inning? No, you can’t? Well, neither can I, because once again, it’s Sunday, and that means it’s snowing in New York City. Fortunately, […]
The “pitcher with unbelievable stuff, just with no control over where it’s going” is a well known player type in baseball. In fact, the most enduring character from one of the most famous baseball movies — Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn from Major League — is that exact player. You could say that the Vaughn character […]
Well Game 1 of spring training is in the books, and let’s just forget that one happened, ok? The Yankees bludgeoned a chorus of Tigers minor league relievers to win 20-3 on Saturday. Yeah, it doesn’t matter, but nobody likes getting shelled out of the park. The key notes on the Tigers’ side was a […]
The New York Yankees enter the 2026 season with a plethora of choices to pick for their leadoff spot. That said, one might be tempted to claim this team doesn’t have a prototypical leadoff hitter, but to do so, one would have to determine what makes a prototypical leadoff hitter these days. In 2026, the […]
The Yankees hosted their spring home opener yesterday afternoon, and it was a fun one. Spencer Jones hit a mammoth home run, Aaron Judge already looked like he was in GOAT-mode with two dingers, and pitching prospect Carlos Langrage showcased some filthy stuff in an impressive start, a day after fellow prospect Elmer Rodríguez looked […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Aaron Judge and Spencer Jones both went deep on Saturday as the Yankees steamrolled the Detroit Tigers 20-3. Jones’ homer was no cheapy, leaving the bat at 111.7 mph and traveling an official 408 feet (though the outfielder chided that metric as conservative). Judge expressed optimism about Jones’ reworked swing. “He doesn’t […]
This was a much more interesting, and entertaining, baseball game than yesterday’s Grapefruit League kickoff. The Yankees saw one of their top pitching prospects strut his stuff, the top position player prospect hit a bomb, and the Captain look awfully locked in in during his first taste of spring ball. A proper thumping came in […]
The Marlins defeated the Mets 2-1 in the opening game of Grapefruit League play. The Mets were no-hit in the contest until the fifth and threatened late, but were unable to pull out the late-inning comeback. The Mets will play their crosstown rival Yankees in Tampa tomorrow at 1:05pm ET.

Elmer Rodríguez showed why he’s the Yankees’ top pitching prospect in yesterday’s Grapefruit League opener, and today is Carlos Lagrange’s first chance to impress as he also makes a case for some 2026 MLB playing time. Lagrange stands a dominant 6-foot-7 with a 70-grade fastball and above-average slider, and while he finished last year with […]
Over 22,000 players have played Major League Baseball. A small fraction of those players are remembered for their on-field accomplishments. An even smaller subset are remembered for their personalities and the joy they brought to the game. Oscar Azócar was one of those special people.

The first game of spring means baseball season is officially back, and the Yankees began their 2026 tune-up with an exhibition game in Sarasota against the Baltimore Orioles. They lost 2-0, with the only offense in the game coming from a two-run blast off the bat of Pete Alonso. The Orioles’ new first baseman hit […]
On Saturday, we get to watch the Detroit Tigers play a baseball game for the first time since their ALDS loss to the Mariners. A lot has happened in the interim, and it’s great to be back. Truth be told, how to watch Tigers baseball is still up in the air as Grapefruit League action […]
Spring games are underway, and the Yankees will take the field with the majority of their full squad for the first time this year. It won’t be for long, of course, but those first couple of innings broadcasting on YES are bound to bring some serotonin with them. With that comes the caveat that backups […]
Ryan Garcia will look to finally win a professional world title as he faces Mario Barrios for Barrios’ WBC welterweight belt, live tonight from Las Vegas. Garcia (24-2, 20 KO) is coming off of a miserable performance in defeat to Rolly Romero last May, and a lot of his marketability and credibility is truly on […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Yankees ace Gerrit Cole crossed off another milestone in his recovery from Tommy John surgery in the spring of 2025. For the first time since going under the knife, the 35-year-old righty faced hitters, and it went as well as one could have expected. The 2023 AL Cy Young threw an […]

It’s here. The first Orioles game of the spring training schedule is happening today in Sarasota. The game will be aired on both MASN (TV/streaming) and WBAL (radio) in Baltimore, so if you have access to either of those, you can even follow along. It’ll feel a little warmer with baseball going on somewhere. This […]
One of the best days of the year is here! Spring training has officially opened, the Yankees kicking off their Grapefruit League exhibition series with a trip to Sarasota to take on the Orioles. The offseason may have been “brutal”’ and “frustrating”’ at times as Aaron Judge put it, but baseball is back and we […]
The Yankees had a big decision to make at the start of the offseason. While retaining Cody Bellinger on a long-term deal was high on the priority list, it was unclear what the team thought of their other starting outfielder, Trent Grisham, hitting the open market after a career year. With a questionable résumé prior […]
The storied history of the Yankees is dominated in the popular perception by the team’s legends, from Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, to Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, to Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge. But baseball is played with nine to a side, and even these superstars couldn’t raise the Yankees to fantastic heights on […]
Dermis García. Wilkerman García. Raimfer Salinas. Antonio Cabello. Alexander Vargas. Oswald Peraza. Hans Montero. Hoy Park. Have you heard of them recently? Do you remember them? A few of of them reached the majors, yes, or had moderate success in the minors in 2025, but in all fairness, their careers haven’t developed the way they […]
