MLB | Bryan Hoch: Flame-throwing prospect Carlos Lagrange knew he’d be throwing a three-inning live batting practice session. He did not know he would be facing the greatest hitter on the planet, Aaron James Judge. Each got the better of the other, as they faced off three times. Judge demolished a 99-mph heater from Lagrange […]
Spring training is here, and exhibition games will be on the schedule as early as the end of this week. With that in mind, it’s time to kick the mailbag back into high gear, and get back to answering your questions on a weekly basis. The Yankees are gearing up in camp, and have gotten […]
Let’s get something out of the way right off the bat. The Yanks’ initial free agent contract for DJ LeMahieu will go down as one of the smartest moves they have ever made. We’ve sung its praises before! Pilfering the second baseman from the Rockies on a two-year, $24 million contract in October 2018, New […]
As the Yankees approached last season’s Trade Deadline, they’d squandered an early division lead and sat in need of reinforcements. The most logical area of the roster to augment was the bullpen. Devin Williams, acquired in a preseason blockbuster to serve as the team’s closer, had been a massive disappointment, closing out July with an […]
One of the most interesting pipelines in major sports, especially in baseball, is the transition from player to manager. Although the managerial ranks are always changing, there are plenty who used to play for their MLB teams, with the Yankees consistently having them on the top step of the dugout (Aaron Boone and Joe Girardi […]
Good morning, all! The oh-so-gradual preparations for the 2026 MLB season keep coming along, and today marks another small hurdle. Pitchers and catchers have already been in camp since at least Wednesday, and all position players had to report by yesterday. Well, today is the first full-squad workout. … … It’s OK. You don’t have […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees are in an interesting spot with outfielder Jasson Domínguez in 2026. Domínguez is still young enough and his development would be best served by playing every day. However, it’s difficult—at least as of right now (we’re still over a month away from Opening Day and it’s best to expected […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! It’s the best time of the year: the start of spring training! Pitchers and catchers reported to camp this week, many of the position players have arrived, and this coming Friday, the Bombers will take the field […]
Russell “Le Muscle” Martin is one of the greatest Canadian major leaguers of all-time. Breaking into The Show with the Dodgers in 2006, Martin came to the Yankees in December 2010, succeeding franchise icon Jorge Posada behind the plate. Martin played two solid seasons in the Bronx behind the plate before signing with Pittsburgh, where […]
Preseason projections are the name of the game in the early going of spring, as camp gets going but the games have yet to start. Barring some last-second news dropping, the AL East has their rosters lined up for another year of chasing one of the hardest crowns to claim in baseball. We’ve talked about […]
Greg Joyce | X: After learning on Friday that Cam Schlittler was dealing with a back/lat issue that is not believed to be serious, the team reported that first baseman Ben Rice is also nursing a minor injury. The young first baseman, per Joyce, “slept on his neck wrong the other night” and that’s why […]

If I were to give you no information about a game other than that your team had a pitcher go 8.2 innings and allow one hit and no earned runs, you’d probably be feeling pretty good about what happened. First, that’s all but one out of a complete game. Second, one hit is not very […]
For nearly 20 years, the Yankees had an ace in the hole who gave them an advantage over every other team in the league, boasting the nearest the game has ever known to a true shutdown closer. Of paramount importance, therefore, was establishing a bridge between the team’s starters and Mariano Rivera, who lay in […]

The conclusion to the 2025 MLB season wasn’t a particularly satisfactory one for Yankee fans: falling well short of the previous campaign in which they made it all the way to the Fall Classic, this time losing to a division rival in the ALDS — the same rival that stole the AL East crown from […]
Around this time every year, prospect hounds across the country release all their lists, from team Top 10 lists, Top 100’s, and farm system rankings. The last few years, the Yankees haven’t looked so hot on those farm system ranks. This year, ESPN had them 23rd, and Baseball Prospectus put them at 22nd. It was […]
Yahoo! Sports | The Associated Press: All aboard the Cole Train! Yankees ace Gerrit Cole took the mound yesterday for his first bullpen of the spring, marking the next major milestone in his return from last March’s Tommy John surgery. Speaking to reporters, Cole reiterated that his elbow feels better than it has in two […]
I have my complaints about the Hal Steinbrenner-Brian Cashman administration, with one of the big ones being that it’s not always clear where Cashman’s decision authority stops and Hal’s starts. The one thing you can never take away from the duo though is that when they want a guy, really want him, they pull out […]
The 2025 season could have been a big year for Jasson Domínguez. The long-heralded next big thing in the Yankees outfield was well-positioned to earn a starting role following Juan Soto’s crosstown departure, and had finally recovered from the litany of injuries which plagued his previous two seasons. But while the 22-year old had his […]
For all but maybe one or two years in the Aaron Judge era, the Yankees have always had a good, if not great, offense beyond the big man himself. They routinely pace the Junior Circuit in runs, wRC+, home runs, etc. Regardless of who’s in the lineup or what their overall skills are, they generally […]
When remembering the numerous pitchers throughout the history of the New York Yankees, it’s easy to recall plenty who spent only a couple of seasons with the club. Some names were excellent throughout their careers before finishing with the Bombers; others found themselves with the Yankees earlier on and then moved on to do great […]
We are only in the opening salvos of spring training with the start of exhibition games still a week away. But you know what? The AL East outlook could be different by Opening Day for all we know, as the spring has a nasty tendency to throw injuries and other question marks into the equation. […]
SNY | Alex Smith: Cam Schlittler is dealing with inflammation in his mid-back, manager Aaron Boone told the press on Thursday. The issue is considered minor and, after taking a few days off the mound, the right-hander is expected to return to his throwing program. “Zero, I’d say,” Schlittler said with regard to his likelihood […]
