One of the most common critiques leveled against the Yankees’ 2025-26 offseason was that they were simply running it back, and to those critics, no move was as emblematic of that than the re-signing of Cody Bellinger. Although the 2019 NL MVP had a stellar year in 2025, hitting .272 with 29 homers and accumulating […]
If you were to rank the best and most beloved Yankees in history, most of them would share at least one trait: they probably won a couple World Series rings. There’s some people on the current day team that unfortunately haven’t checked that off the list yet, but basically since Babe Ruth showed up in […]
It’s heart attack hotel with this Yankees relief corps, but the bullpen managed to survive another ninth inning comeback attempt to secure consecutive one-run victories over the Blue Jays. It’s made all the more important that they managed to win on a day when Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease was starting, Ryan McMahon and Ben […]
Last month, I was given the opportunity to introduce a new series that I have been super excited to explore alongside all of you. It regards a trend we had noticed developing in the Yankees pitching room toward the end of the 2024 season. At that point, the league was still very much in the […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 15-4 at Lehigh Valley IronPigs SS George Lombard Jr. 3-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 3 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SBRF Yanquiel Fernández 3-6, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 2 R2B Marco Luciano 2-6, 1 R, 2 K, 2 SB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 1-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R, 2 BB, […]
Yesterday, Jake opened up the day with a discussion about what the biggest positive development the Yankees have gotten out of this season has been. If you’ll forgive the shameless piggy-backing off of that topic, I’d like to flip the question on its head and ponder what the worst development has been, what decline in […]
NY Post | Greg Joyce: Giancarlo Stanton has been out since the end of April with a calf strain, but he isn’t quite where he needs to be to resume running and get close to a return. MRI results have not been clean, showing the strain still as recently as last week, and the team […]
Yesterday was such a nailbiter that even though tonight’s game was just about as close, the cadence of the evening felt very different — until it didn’t. Both teams reserved almost all their scoring for the middle innings, with an emphasis on a very stressful “almost.” The most charitable reading of the ninth inning would […]
Has your heart rate returned to normal after last night? The Yankees pulled out one of the tightest wins you can ever have on Monday night, but they must also turn around and face one of the game’s best in game two of this big series. Fortunately, they’ll be able to counter with a pitcher […]
Once Max Fried hit the IL with an elbow issue last week, the Yankees were in a bit of an awkward spot. They had a former Cy Young award winner nearing the very end of a lengthy rehab process, yet it seemed like he might not be quite ready to fill in now that his […]
We’d probably all like to forget the Yankees’ soul-crushing loss on Sunday against the Mets. That being said, there were several moments that can be remembered in a positive light, including Anthony Volpe’s first hit of the 2026 campaign — a two-out double off Freddy Peralta in the second inning. Volpe arguably had a pair […]
Welcome back to another week of the Yankees’ farm report. This week, we saw Gerrit Cole inch closer to his big league return while flashing prime velocity, the Somerset offense continued to pound opponents into submission, and as well as some great individual pitching performances up and down the system. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Record: 23-20, […]
Yankees dynasties are usually remembered through their biggest stars. In the 1950s New York featured the likes of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and Joe DiMaggio. Lost underneath all those legends, however, are the players who quietly held everything together year after year, like Gilbert “Gil” McDougald. The 1951 Rookie of the Year winner, […]
You can’t really call a game in mid-May with the team still in comfortable playoff position and only two games behind the leaders a “must win,” but for vibes reasons, the Yankees sure could’ve used a victory on Monday. They got one, but it was quite the nerve-wracker. For one, they had to come from […]
Let’s dial back to Sunday. With the caveat that I’m surprised Sean Manaea is still on an MLB roster, Aaron Boone hit all the right buttons. Pinch-hitter Paul Goldschmidt gets dotted to load the bases with one out, Max Schuemann comes into run for him. Anthony Volpe has his big two-run single, and Boone goes […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Offday Double-A Somerset Patriots: Offday High-A Hudson Valley Renegades: Offday Low-A Tampa Tarpons: Offday Florida Complex League Yankees: L, 4-8 at FCL Blue Jays 3B Richard Matic 3-4, BB, K — no extra-base hits for FCL Yanks today, but Matic did get three singlesLF Wilberson De Pena 1-5, K, GIDP, SBC Queni […]
The Yankees’ 2-7 road trip left a sour taste in all our mouths, the club following up a stellar stretch of play with a frustrating week and a half that saw a number of bullpen blowups and close losses. New York now trails the Rays by three games in the AL East despite pacing the […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: In Gerrit Cole’s most recent rehab outing, the former Cy Young winner touched 99.6 mph on the gun, velo that would impress even among the best in MLB. Given that pitch-level success, it’s been debated within the Yankee org whether it would be better to let Cole have one more rehab […]
The Yankees desperately needed something positive Monday night and, the offense delivered. After a brutal 2-7 road trip that ended with another frustrating series loss in Queens, the Yankees returned to the Bronx looking for any sign of life. Behind a huge night from Paul Goldschmidt, timely power from Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr., […]
The Yankees return to the Bronx on Monday night looking to stop a frustrating stretch after dropping a series to a last-place team over the weekend in Queens. Despite flashes of offense during the Subway Series, the Yankees once again struggled to put games away. Now, with a four-game series against the reigning American League […]
While the Yankees’ bullpen wasn’t a real problem statistically over the first several weeks of the season, its weakness and relative lack of depth have reared their ugly head over the last week or two, blowing multiple inherited leads during a 2-7 road trip that saw the Yanks lose ground to the Rays in the […]
The upswing of the past few weeks has turned to a harsh downswing. The Yankees went on a terrible road trip last week, getting swept by the Brewers before losing two of three to both the Orioles and Mets — the first was an understandable blip on the radar, but the latter two are teams […]
Earlier this afternoon, former Yankee third baseman Gio Urshela took to Instagram to announce his retirement. Originally signed by Cleveland as an international amateur free agent in 2008, the Colombia native spent parts of ten seasons in the Major Leagues, posting a .270/.314/.407 slash line (97 OPS+) with 73 home runs and 147 doubles with […]
Reggie Jackson arrived at Yankee Stadium on October 18, 1977 with a chip on his shoulder. In part, it was because that was his natural state. But he had something in particular to prove that day. Despite winning a trio of championships — and the 1973 World Series MVP — in Oakland, he had yet […]
I’m on double duty tonight for Rivalry Roundup and our Today on Pinstripe Alley/daily question post, so since I generally try to throw some very quick thoughts on what the Yankees did as well in these, you’ll excuse me for double-dipping in the next two paragraphs. What an awful road trip. The Yankees got swept […]
