Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Oswaldo Cabrera’s Yankees career started with him breathing a breath of fresh air into a floundering 2022 team that was well on its way to blowing a massive division lead, helping them right the ship. That 44-game stint that included a go-ahead home run in Game 3 of the 2022 ALDS has turned out to […]
As discussed here and here, the Yankees’ bullpen has potential but is still, basically, a work in progress. Between this point and the start of the season, the team is quite likely to add at least one additional impact arm, whether it comes via trade, free agency, or after the spring training cuts have been […]
When something transcends its own arena, gauging its greatness becomes a very difficult thing. As a film lover, I have found it difficult to assess something like The Godfather fairly — it has almost become its own island within the artform, people joke about it without having seen it, and it is held on a […]
The 2026 Yankees have a lot riding on their stars repeating the quality seasons that they put up in 2025, but there’s a select few that they would like to see rebounds from. No one fits that latter category more than Anthony Volpe, who was brutally bad at the plate for months at a time […]
SNY | Phillip Martínez: The Yankees unveiled a list of 27 non-roster invitees on Thursday, led by some of the best prospects in the organization, such as George Lombard Jr., Carlos Lagrange, and Ben Hess. Veterans like Seth Brown and Paul DeJong, not to mention ultimate reclamation project Marco Luciano, will try to win a […]
The offseason trudges onward, and while the Yankees have likely made their splash by bringing back Cody Bellinger, there is always more work to do. One potential move could be to add another right-handed bat on the infield to provide a counterbalance to their lefty-heavy lineup. It would be a supplementary move, though depth is […]
The 2013 New York Yankees finished the season 85-77, good for third place in the American League East and on the outside looking in at the playoffs when the regular season concluded. Their “leaderboard” is a veritable who’s who of guys who certainly played in the major leagues. 36-year-old’s Travis Hafner and Lyle Overbay, 34-year-old […]
Any description of José Caballero’s playing style will probably include something along the lines of “pest” or “hate him on other teams, love him when he plays for your team.” Well, as of last year at the trade deadline, he’s on our team. Looking to improve on the depth of the roster, the Yankees picked […]
Almost a century before Derek Jeter manned shortstop and held the captaincy for the New York Yankees, another athletic young player did the same. Roger Peckinpaugh, who came to the Yankees at the age of 20, never experienced the level of team success that Jeter did, nor could he boast a similar offensive profile. But […]
Giancarlo Stanton sits 47 home runs away from 500 for his career, that nice round number that counts for quite a bit in Hall of Fame discussion. It does feel like that chase will come right down to the wire, with Stanton’s contract running through the 2027 season but with some kind of labor stoppage […]
So, the Yankees are running it back 2026. As frustrating as that will feel to many (cue the “getting Gerrit Cole back is like trading for an ace!” proclamations from Yankee brass), there is reason to be optimistic about the strategy. The team that they’re running went an MLB-best 32-12 down the stretch, and at […]
MLB.com | Brian Murphy: The Yankees have a very similar team to the one that they ran in 2025, meaning that they have to be confident that they’ll see improvement in at least a few key areas to get them over the hump. They’re got a few candidates to step up, including ones that began […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The former Ranger also spent time with the Yankees before signing a 2-year, $15 million deal with the Blue Jays in 2024, who then traded him to the Pirates at that year’s trade deadline, only to take him back a year later after […]
“Back in Pinstripes and on Mound, but Only for Fun.” So read The New York Times’ headline when word got out that Andy Pettitte — winner of 240 big league games, five-time World Series champ, and the man who had started more games as a Yankee than anyone but Whitey Ford — was making his […]
When it comes to pitching, top-end talent is crucial. So, too, is depth. The ability to find pitchers to “eat innings” — entering in lower-leverage situations or filling in the back end of rotations and pitching competitively — can help reduce wear on the rest of the staff. Sometimes, those supposed innings eaters end up […]
While we’ve only just begun the month of February, Major League Baseball’s 2026 spring training is fast approaching. Teams are gearing up for what is set to be another interesting season with plenty of ups and downs for every player and club. The New York Yankees are no different. GM Brian Cashman and company feel […]
The Yankees’ roster might not be a finished product. They are openly looking for a right-handed bat from the bench, and one or two bullpen additions surely wouldn’t hurt. They have, apparently, decided to open the season with their current group of starters, knowing that an injury or two in spring training could mean trouble […]
The history of the Yankees dates back to the start of the 20th century and a humble team known then as the New York Highlanders. Their first ever game was played on April 22, 1903, against the Washington Senators, a 3-1 loss at American League Park, one of the more well-known Griffith Stadium’s predecessors in […]
Welcome to Wednesday. The Yankees’ pitchers and catchers will officially report to spring training a week from today! Hurrah. There’s not much else going on though, so we’ll get into today’s discussion prompt. The Yankees have won 27 championships of course, but there have still been plenty of seasons that ended with frustrating results. Here’s […]
New York Post | Joel Sherman ($): The Yankees seem like they’re hunting for one more addition, preferably a right-handed hitter who can play multiple positions. We don’t know much about the status of utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera as he returns from his grisly ankle injury, and the team may prefer a player with a little […]
The Michael Siani offseason rollercoaster looped around to make a second stop in Los Angeles, as the center fielder was claimed by the Dodgers off waivers from the New York Yankees on Tuesday. This comes 11 days after the Yankees claimed him off waivers from the Dodgers. It’s been a busy offseason for the defense-first […]
It’s January 2011 and the Yankees have narrowly missed out on the opportunity to defend their World Series crown, having been bounced out of the ALCS by the Rangers in six games. One of the players most responsible for their demise — and a personal white whale for general manager Brian Cashman — has just […]
Following two seasons with the Chicago Cubs and eight in the National League, Bellinger found himself in a very different (but also familiar) environment after he was dealt to the New York Yankees in December of 2024. Bellinger’s dad, Clay, was a Yankee from 1999-2001, winning two World Series championships with the team before playing […]
Some baseball players are memorable for having long and successful careers. Some are memorable for coming up with a huge play or hit in a big moment. Some are memorable for the wrong reasons, like making a mistake in a big moment or for some other controversial reason. Then, there are some who are memorable […]
The Yankees’ outfield is loaded with star power on both sides of the ball, as any group led by Aaron Judge should be. The generational slugger won his third AL MVP award in 2025 after yet another season that had to be seen to be believed: .331/.457/.688 (a career-high in batting average), 53 home runs, […]
