Yankees Mailbag: Final speculation on deadline dealing
Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. OLDY MOLDY asks: Why not sell what little that they have to sell after the Belli news? Punting allows them to […]
Yankees win opener at Wrigley as Jones and Rosario both homer while Warren rebounds
The Yankees entered this game with 48-percent of their runs scored via the home run, which is third-highest in the majors. The Cubs entered this game with 51-percent of their runs surrendered coming via the home run, which is the highest in the majors. Those two facts plus the soft-tossing lefty Shota Imanaga combined to […]
New York Yankees @ Chicago Cubs: Will Warren vs. Shota Imanaga
The Yankees’ offense better wake up, as they’ve scored just two unearned runs in their last 22 innings. Facing a Cubs team that ranks second in the majors with 5.17 runs scored per game and third with a 111 wRC+, they simply cannot afford to give so many ABs away, New York failing to dent […]
Yankees potential trade target: Mickey Moniak
When Cody Bellinger joined Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list, the Yankees outfield that was so deep former top prospect Jasson Domínguez started the season in Triple-A has become perilously thin. Suddenly, with the Martian who has flashed the bat on both sides of the plate but has yet to put it […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Hank Bauer
If you’re a baseball history buff, you probably recognize the name Hank Bauer. While he was never the team’s main star, he had a very good career on some very good Yankees teams, winning seven World Series titles. However, so much about him gets overlooked if you just know that about him. Hank Bauer had […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Shane McClanahan exits with injury, but Rays still win on late comeback
Welp, it looks like the Yankees offense is back in the toilet after a promising start to their series against the White Sox. They have failed to score in 28 of their last 32 innings played, scoring just two unearned runs in their last 22 innings. With just one dependable hitter in their lineup in […]
New York Yankees vs. Chicago Cubs: Series Preview
After wrapping up a series against the White Sox on Thursday, the Yankees don’t have to go very far to open up their next matchup. Starting later today, the Yankees are making their across town to the north side of Chicago, as they’ll now open up a three-game set against the Cubs. The Cubs come […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 7/31/26
The Yankees started their week in Chicago off on a strong note, winning the first two games, and it looked like they were well on their way to a series win and potentially a sweep when they were up 4-0 with Cam Schlittler cruising on the mound on Wednesday. Unfortunately, things fell apart and quickly […]
Yankees news: Looking at the top trade needs and targets
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: With the Trade Deadline fast approaching and no major moves as of yet, the question remains about what the Yankees will do this go around. It seems pretty obvious that the Yankees are looking for catching help, at least one additional arm in their bullpen, and possibly even an outfielder now […]
Bitter disappointment in extras as Yankees’ offense wastes Ryan Weathers’ masterful performance
With neither team scoring through nine innings on Thursday afternoon, the White Sox lineup had a little more juice in extra innings to outlast the Yankees in a 2-1 walk-off win. The decisive plate appearance was a bases-loaded free pass from Tristan Peters against a clearly gassed Fernando Cruz. In a game in which neither […]
New York Yankees @ Chicago White Sox: Ryan Weathers vs. Sean Burke
The initial goal on this series finale in the South Side of Chicago before heading over to Wrigley Field for the weekend is to play more than just the first inning, offensively. There are many reasons why the Yankees should lament their 6-5 loss on Wednesday, but none bigger than going nine full innings without […]
The Yankees All-July Birthday Team
Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to land on that […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Casey Stengel
I had the pleasure of writing one of these birthday profiles for legendary Yankees manager and the head honcho for the late 90s dynasty, Joe Torre. There aren’t many who can match Torre’s managerial career, and even fewer can live up to what he did as a player in the major leagues. Now, we get […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: David Bednar (7/28)
The Yankees have gotten off to a decent start on their ten-game road trip, winning four of the first six contests. They have put themselves in position to win three out of four from the White Sox, which would send them to the North side of Chicago winners of their last three series. Mostly lights-out […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays blank Rangers, bolster AL East lead
Well, that was a horrible way to lose a baseball game. You just can’t lose when your ace has a four-run lead late. You just can’t lose when you twice survive five-man infield plays with a runner on third in extras. You just can’t lose when you’re an out away from a win and your […]
Yankees potential trade target: Matt Chapman
Matt Chapman had been a big fantasy add for me for a while — he hit a lot of home runs, didn’t commit any errors, and played every day. He still remains a very good defender at third base, +5 by Statcast’s run value, and that’s better than any of the guys the Yankees have […]
Yankees prospects: Lombard notches two hits in Scranton win
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 4-3 at Iowa Cubs SS George Lombard Jr. 2-4, BB, 2 K, SB — ho-hum, two knocks and steal for the top prospectC J.C.

What position are the Yankees most likely to address at the trade deadline?
It’s trade deadline season, and though this has been a tame deadline period so far, the continuous swirl of rumors and (eventually) actual transactions will be the focus of much of the baseball world in the coming days. Yesterday, we discussed which players the Yankees were most likely to move, and today, we ask: what […]
Yankees news: Building the best deadline
ESPN | Jorge Castillo: The two New York teams are expected to have wildly different trade deadlines, with the Yankees presumed to be buyers and the Mets perhaps the biggest sellers. While there’s a couple possible deals to be had between the two clubs — hello, Luke Weaver? — the largest possible splashes for the […]
Recent bullpen usage dooms Yankees as White Sox win extra-inning marathon
The Yankees have been winning lately, but one thing they haven’t been doing is winning big. Even their four-run win against the White Sox two nights ago was unnecessarily complicated due to bad defense in the ninth inning. As such, the team was without the services of David Bednar, Angel Chivilli, and Brent Headrick in […]
New York Yankees @ Chicago White Sox: Cam Schlittler vs. Davis Martin
With the Trade Deadline fast approaching and a final sprint looming when it passes next Monday, the Yankees are back to playing winning baseball, coming out victorious in 11 of their last 15 games after a 4-14 death spiral shook them to their foundation. While most of the American League struggles to figure out what […]
Life of (Will) Brian: A reliever adjusting to Triple-A
Will Brian emerged from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre bullpen to work the top of the eighth Sunday at PNC Field with the RailRiders leading the Syracuse Mets by one run. The left-handed reliever got Cristian Pache to line out to third base on two pitches, MJ Melendez to pop up to third on one pitch, then struck […]
Yes, the Yankees catchers do some things well
The biggest weakness with the 2026 Yankees is the catching position; that much is painfully obvious. Even after a recent uptick in production from the platoon and Ali Sánchez’s heroics on Monday night, Yankees’ catchers entered Tuesday’s game with a putrid 58 wRC+ and 0.8 fWAR at the position, ranking 28th and 24th in all […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Gary Thomasson
Today’s birthday belongs to a little-known Yankee, Gary Thomasson. If the name does not ring a bell, it is likely because Thomasson only spent half a season in the Bronx. That season just happened to be 1978, when the Yankees were busy erasing a 14.5-game deficit, surviving the one-game playoff against Boston, and winning another […]
