Yankees news: The Lombard family’s big day
MLB.com | Brendan Samson: Yesterday was a very cool moment for the Lombard family, as George Jr. made his MLB debut for the Bombers, his younger brother, Jacob, also made his professional debut for the Marlins’ Low-A affiliate. While Mom and Dad Lombard were going to Florida to see Jacob’s debut, they quickly pivoted (with […]
George Lombard Jr. homers in MLB debut, Yankees win shutout over Cardinals
You never know what to expect from a major league debut. You could get a fiery one like Aaron Judge’s first-pitch home run, or you could get a game like Mike Mayers allowing nine runs in 1.2 innings (both of which happened in 2016). I couldn’t tell you what Gleyber Torres did in his MLB […]
New York Yankees vs. St. Louis Cardinals: Ryan Weathers vs. Hunter Dobbins
Most of the time, you can’t tell when a new era of Yankees baseball begins. We sure as hell didn’t expect Aaron Judge’s debut 10 years ago this month would perfectly segue from the last remnant of the 2000s Yankees retiring (Alex Rodríguez) to the next Yankee great, but it’s fair to say it was […]
MLB End-of-July Check-in: AL West
Every day, Pinstripe Alley offers updates on what the Yankees’ top American League opponents are up to through the Rivalry Roundup. The AL East is well-trodden ground there, but with the Trade Deadline behind us, we’re going to take a peek around MLB as a whole and check in with each of the other five […]
MLB End-of-July Check-in: AL Central
Every day, Pinstripe Alley offers updates on what the Yankees’ top American League opponents are up to through the Rivalry Roundup. The AL East is well-trodden ground there, but with the Trade Deadline behind us, we’re going to take a peek around MLB as a whole and check in with each of the other five […]
What the Yankees’ Trade Deadline moves mean for their future roster outlook
Well, that was underwhelming. The 2026 Trade Deadline has come and gone, with the Yankees doing relatively little compared to what appeared to be a laundry list of needs. If you were told in May that this is what they would do at the deadline, you would’ve had so many questions about why the team […]
VOTE: How would you grade the Yankees’ Trade Deadline?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country. The Yankees have secured a couple of assets that have the potential to be crucial factors in the AL pennant race. Adding Luis García Jr. […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Roger Clemens
Roger Clemens. “The Rocket.” The nickname alone tells you almost everything you need to know. Over 24 major league seasons, Clemens won 354 games, struck out 4,672 batters, captured a record seven Cy Young Awards, won an American League MVP Award, claimed two pitching Triple Crowns, and led his league in ERA six different times. […]
Yankees prospects: Week 19 minor league recap
The trade deadline has come and gone, and while there were significantly fewer prospects moved than any of us expected, the bright side of that is that the minor leagues will be considerably more interesting down the stretch of the season than it was after last season’s complete depletion. This week on the farm, we […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays gain ground on Trade Deadline day
Yesterday was that more elusive kind of day in the Major League Baseball regular season when fans paid more attention to news and trade rumors than the actual action on the field. Such is the Trade Deadline! And it was a busy one, even if Yankees fans saw no catching or bullpen help come through […]
Some outfield boost beats none: Heliot Ramos is a Yankee
Were they necessarily the Trade Deadline moves that fans wanted or even predicted? Not really; catcher is still a concern and the bullpen blew up last night’s stirring rally. Still, one can’t pin complete complacency on the Yankees front office, which, in the end, went out there and acquired multiple pieces to boost their playoff […]
2026 Trade Deadline Recap: AL East
While the Yankees were largely quiet at this year’s deadline, making just two trades that they hope provide a jolt to a lineup that has been downright disastrous without Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees’ division rivals turned the trade meter to high and spun a whopping 21 combined deals. Whether you […]
Yankees prospects: Juan Torres leads DSL Yanks to blowout win
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Offday, though not in terms of impact. George Lombard Jr. was promoted to the Yankees, with Anthony Volpe, Jasson Domínguez, and Angel Chivilli heading down to Triple-A. Jake Bird (dealt to Washington) and Kervin Castro (promoted) will also need replacements in the bullpen. Max Schuemann is one, as he was a big-league […]
Where do the Yankees rank among AL contenders after the Trade Deadline?
The dust has settled on the MLB Trade Deadline. After weeks of anticipation, the Yankees came away with a thinner haul than most probably expected, picking up a pair of hitters in Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos but not doing much else, content to maintain the status quo with their pitching staff, and with […]
Yankees news: Lombard Jr. called up after quiet Trade Deadline
NY Post | Greg Joyce: The Yankees’ top prospect, George Lombard Jr., has rapidly climbed his way up prospect rankings as he’s jumped through each level of the minors. This year he’s really turned on the burners, crushing Double-A before getting a midseason promotion to Triple-A and whittling down his adjustment time to a mere […]
Yankees to promote top prospect George Lombard Jr., demote Anthony Volpe and Jasson Domínguez
Fresh off a Trade Deadline that saw the Yankees fail to add a catcher or increase their bullpen depth, fans at Yankee Stadium were rewarded with a 13-7 loss that was somehow even more painful than the final score indicates. The Cardinals crushed young ace Cam Schlittler and ran up a 6-0 lead. The blowout […]
Chivilli’s eighth inning meltdown squanders seven-run rally, Yankees thumped by Cardinals
So, watch any good movies lately? I hear The Odyssey is pretty good. It’s the original hero’s journey, you know? The template on which the most compelling stories humans tell each other are based. We search for that narrative everywhere we go, in every part of our lives. We seek it out in sports, an […]
Yankees bandage their offense, but not much else at the 2026 Trade Deadline
The 2026 Trade Deadline has officially come and gone, and it’s time for the immediate breakdown of the state of the Yankees following it. It’s fair to say that most weren’t projecting a flashy deadline for New York with a big-name blockbuster or anything of that sort, but it still comes as a surprise that […]
What do fans think about the Yankees’ acquisition of Heliot Ramos?
While Yankees fans, in general, liked the addition of Luis García Jr. on Sunday — after all, who can say no to the third-highest slugging percentage in baseball — they were eager for more. To different levels, catcher, third base, a right-handed outfield bat, and the middle of the bullpen represented possibilities for real upgrades […]
New York Yankees vs. St. Louis Cardinals: Cam Schlittler vs. Michael McGreevy
What an exhausting past week of baseball this has been. The Yankees have engaged in a succession of nail-biting games, struggled mightily to put runs on the board, and failed to make an upgrade at catcher as the Rays and white-hot Red Sox both made upgrades behind the plate ahead of the trade deadline. The […]
Yankees acquire Heliot Ramos from Giants
The Yankees made another move minutes before the trade deadline and acquired Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants. Ramos will add another boost to the lineup that can hit well against lefties. It’s uncertain whether he will have a strong impact on the Yankees’ defense, but adding more offensive weapons may be worth the […]
Yankees trade for outfielder Heliot Ramos in attempt to turn back the clock
Is that all there is? Like the proverbial second little pig, the Yankees need sticks. They got one yesterday in Luis García Jr., and with less than an hour to go before the 6pm official trade deadline today, Jeff Passan has reported that they will add Heliot Ramos of the Giants to the team’s outfield, […]
Yankees 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker
We’ve at last arrived at the MLB Trade Deadline. Once the clock strikes 6 p.m. EST this evening, teams will no longer be able to trade to reshape their rosters; what you have is what you’ve got the rest of the way. It’s the last chance for clubs around the league, and for Brian Cashman […]
Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
At last, the final checkpoint of the regular season is here. The Trade Deadline is today, and as of writing the Yankees have made one significant upgrade having acquired Luis García Jr. from the Nationals to boost their lineup with a genuine power threat, though it looks as though he’s going to be a platoon […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Mark Reynolds
The Yankees received their “Bronx Bombers” moniker long before any of the sluggers of the modern era were born, but the nickname lives on for a reason. For decades after Murderer’s Row terrorized the league, the Bombers have almost always fielded lineups dotted with power hitter, and in recent years, they’ve often been criticized for […]
