Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Another day, another series of tweets detailing how the Yankees are prepared to walk away from the negotiating table in the case of Cody Bellinger. The club seems to be standing on the five-year, $150-ish million offer they’ve had for the onetime MVP since the beginning of free agency, and Bellinger’s camp still appears confident […]
Tonight, National Baseball Hall of Fame president Josh Rawitch will step up to a podium in a live segment on MLB Network and reveal who the Baseball Writers’ Association of America elected to join Eras Committee selection Jeff Kent in the 2026 Hall of Fame class. Several former Yankees are on the ballot and under […]
Today we can take a break from the monotony of the offseason rumor mill, and focus on a different aspect of the game — the Hall of Fame debate. The 2026 class will be revealed tonight, and ballots have been trickling in over the last few weeks as those who chose to reveal their selections […]
NY Daily News | Peter Sblendorio: The Hall of Fame class of 2026 will be revealed tonight, and efforts to track the revealed ballots thus far paint a very good picture for some former Yankees. With a little more than half of the ballot publicly revealed, Carlos Beltrán has appeared on a strong 88.9 percent […]
The staredown of a lifetime continues, as the Yankees continue to stand behind their line in the sand with Cody Bellinger. In the meantime, however, the rest of the free agent board has been active: Kyle Tucker caused an uproar by signing a four-year, $240 million deal with the Dodgers while Bo Bichette pivoted to […]
Inevitably with a series such as this one, you’ll find one or two less notorious names to properly fill a list. So in searching for a former Yankee born on January 19th, we ended up with Fernando Seguignol as the chosen player. If you remember his short period with the Yankees, cheers to you for […]
CBS Sports | R.J. Anderson: With Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette having inked deals with the Dodgers and Mets, respectively, the free agent rumor mill turns to the player that the Yankees rumor mill has been focused on all winter: Cody Bellinger. According to reports, the Mets are among the teams that have checked in […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! It may be snowing in New York City this weekend, but in the sports world, the hot stove has been boiling. From the New York Giants’ hiring of John Harbaugh as their next head coach to the Dodgers’ […]
Randy Vasquez has seen a steady increase of work since he started his career with the New York Yankees in 2023. He appeared in 11 games as a rookie and made five starts for the Yankees and finished the season with a record of 2-2. Vasquez closed the season with a 2.87 ERA and allowed […]
For today’s birthday boy, we have ourselves an interesting, injury-riddled, and often controversial character to dive into. Michael Pineda, once acquired by the Yankees in a fairly high-profile deal, looked to be a major part of the New York rotation through the early-mid 2010s. It didn’t quite work out that way, as injuries and trouble […]
Win Probability Added is a stat that measures how much a team’s chances of winning a game are altered by the hits they got, the outs they recorded on the mound, and vice versa. If you sort the greatest seasons of all time according to WPA, you’re generally going to get a bunch of great […]
Meet the Mets With Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette both off the board, Cody Bellinger is still potentially in the cards for both the Mets and Yankees, with the Mets still needing an outfielder and the Yankees needing protection for Aaron Judge in the lineup. Max Goodman of NJ.com runs down a list of five […]
After a string of pieces falling into place, the offseason went back to being quiet for a day. Cody Bellinger is now the belle of the ball with Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette off the board, and we’ll hopefully not have to wait too much longer to see where he ends up — but we’re […]
New York Post | Greg Joyce: Considering the Yankees never really got past even the “checked in on” stage with Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette, as far as free agents, it seems their priority has always been Cody Bellinger. However with the first two now off the board, the Yankees’ margin for error in regards […]
1949 The White Sox purchased starter Bill Bevens from the Yankees. The righthander battled control issues throughout his career, but had managed to ascend from journeyman to star with a brilliant 1946 season in the Bronx: 16-13, 2.23 ERA/3.14 FIP, 154 ERA+ and 5.0 WAR over 249 2/3 innings. But after a poor 1947 season […]
Bo Bichette: Citizens Bank Park enemy #1. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
CBS Sports | Dayn Perry: Thursday night’s bombshell that Kyle Tucker would be heading to Los Angeles seemed to set up another potential Yankees vs. Mets showdown for a free agent outfielder. The Mets were heavily involved in the Tucker bidding, which would lead one to believe that they could turn their atention to Cody […]
The mid-2000s were a strange time for the Yankees. The dynasty of the ‘90s engineered a hangover that lasted almost ten years, where the team regularly returned strong lineups but lacked the pitching depth or that elusive “clutch” gene. In some ways, Gary Sheffield might be the poster boy for this period — he never […]
The MLB player’s strike which wiped out the 1994 postseason came at a bad time for the Yankees, who had the American League’s best record when the contentious work stoppage began. Having missed a golden opportunity to return to the postseason for the first time since 1981, the Yankees were motivated to improve their roster […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Another day, another Cody Bellinger article. Despite recent reports that there were considerable gaps between Belli and the Yankees in terms of contract length and average annual value, Kirschner says “not so fast, my friend,” to quote the great Lee Corso. There are reasons, admittedly, the Yankees could pivot […]
Today marks the beginning of MLB’s 2026 international prospects signing period, as all 30 teams can now freely vie for the top amateur talent across the globe. Of course, verbal agreements with a number of prospects have likely already been reached, so even as the period only just opens on January 15th, we’re likely to […]
There’s a disgracefully long list of reasons the Red Sox lost Game 2 of last year’s Wild Card series to the Yankees, and I don’t think any of them are brought up enough. Ceddanne Rafaela tried to get a bunt down twice on a pair of pitches that were each about a foot outside of […]
After four straight World Series appearances, the New York Yankees fell to the Anaheim Angels in the 2002 ALDS, a disappointing end to the season for a team that had won 103 games. Eager to get back on top of the Junior Circuit, George Steinbrenner entered the 2002-03 offseason with a large pile of money […]
It seems all great, young teams need that one guy who’s been through it before. We just saw the Toronto Blue Jays on a World Series chase with Max Scherzer holding court in the dugout every night, and for the 2017 Baby Bomber Yankee team, that man was Matt Holliday… or at least he was […]
MASN announced today that it will broadcast a record 20 spring training games this year, beginning February 20 against the Yankees at Ed Smith Stadium. That’s more than double the eight games aired last season, and it means Orioles fans will get an extended look at the organization’s next wave of talent earlier than expected. […]
