The Yankees’ “Plan B” after losing Juan Soto in December 2024 will be talked about for years to come. After failing to match the near-$800 million commitment from the Mets, the Yankees pivoted to sign the likes of Paul Goldschmidt and Max Fried, trade for Cody Bellinger in an effective salary dump, and package Caleb […]
The spookiest day of the year is here, and baseball is still ongoing. The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from taking home their third World Series title and their first since the 1993 season, when they won back-to-back championships after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in a six-game series. With Game 6 between the […]
It could all be over tonight. The World Series resumes with the Blue Jays hosting the Dodgers needing to win just one of the next two games to take home their first title since 1993. They’ve had the Dodger offense on a muzzle since forcing them through 18 innings of grueling extras just to win […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Hoch opens up one of the first offseason mailbags of the winter, and in it he dives into questions about the Yankees’ recent results and coaching changes. The lead question and biggest answer he provides focuses on the question of who is better suited to win a World Series first between […]
“I wanted to write you a glad song, but I didn’t have time, so I wrote you a sad one” It’s always a risk to start writing with someone else’s quote, since that person probably said it better than you ever could. Still, Franz Nicolay’s bitter parody of Mark Twain may be the best way […]
Luke Weaver entered this season with high expectations. The journeyman—who had posted a 6.44 ERA while bouncing around between five teams during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns—unexpectedly emerged as a viable back-end reliever with the Yankees in 2024, pitching to a 2.89 ERA in 84 innings and taking over the closer role down the stretch […]
The Blue Jays followed up a brutal Game 3 loss that went 18 innings with a late blowout to even the series up at two all. Now facing the final game in Los Angeles, the scales could tip heavily in their favor if they managed to snag a 3-2 series lead heading back to Toronto. […]
It’s the final offday of the 2025 Major League Baseball season, and tomorrow could be the end of the road. The Blue Jays won Game 5 last night to surprisingly take two out of three in LA despite the 18-inning marathon loss. The Dodgers’ repeat dreams are on life support ahead of Game 6 on […]
The Athletic | Andrew Marchand: ($) In case you missed it, the YES Network made some major changes to its announcer lineup for 2026. The big headline is the exit of John Flaherty, who will not return after a 20-year run with YES as an announcer and analyst. Part-time analysts Jeff Nelson and Dave Valle […]
With the World Series still going on, we’re not quite at a point where we’re getting player moves yet; however, Wednesday saw at least one roster shaken up. Earlier today, John Flaherty released the news that the YES Network was not renewing his contract for next season. In addition to that, Andrew Marchand at the […]
With the departure of Juan Soto last winter, the only thing left — besides an American League pennant, which isn’t nothing — left in the Bronx from the trade with the Padres was Trent Grisham. In the deal, the Yankees took on Grisham’s salary to get the Padres to accept a lesser prospect package than […]
It was always going to be tough for anything to top Monday night (and into Tuesday morning) in Game 3 of the World Series. The 18-inning back-and-forth battle that ended with Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run will go down as one of the more memorable games in World Series history, no matter how things play […]
The Blue Jays showed Shohei Ohtani is mortal last night, getting to Ohtani for four runs over his six innings in a key Game 4 victory. It was an impressive show of resilience, Toronto shrugging off defeat in Monday night’s legendary Game 3 to even the World Series, leaving us with a three-game set to […]
New York Post | Joel Sherman ($): Sherman’s been breaking down all the major free agent decisions the Yankees will have to make this winter, and today the topic is centerfielder Trent Grisham. The mustachioed man was one of baseball’s biggest surprises in 2025, with 34 home runs and a 3.2 fWAR. Despite that, there […]
Not so long ago, I found myself thinking about this AL MVP race, and particularly how, in pretty remarkable ways, the productions from both Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh transcend the usual standard for this award. Whoever misses out on the award will do so with a historic season, and while it won’t be the […]
Since Mark Teixeira retired at the end of the 2016 season, the New York Yankees have tried — and failed — to find a long term first baseman. Despite a promising cup of coffee in 2015, Greg Bird was beset by injuries and was out of the picture completely after 2019. Luke Voit took the […]
All the best stories are trilogies. The Iliad and the Odyssey weren’t complete until Vergil penned the Aeneid seven hundred years later. It took three books for Frodo to get the ring to Mount Doom. Steve Rogers’ character arc reached its natural conclusion after three films when he turned his back on the government that […]
The third week of the Arizona Fall League is now in the books! As a reminder, the Yankees’ representatives this year for the Mesa Solar Sox are Bryce Cunningham, Cade Smith, Brady Kirtner, Coby Morales, Hueston Morrill, Manuel Palencia, Adam Stone, and Enmanuel Tejeda. Here’s how they performed in their third week in the desert: October 21st […]
After a couple of opposing games to open up the 2025 Fall Classic, the Dodgers and Blue Jays found themselves knotted up in a 1-1 tie. Despite the nature of this World Series’ first two games, Game 3 would be a nailbiter all the way through. There were no pinch-hit grand slams or complete games, […]
The World Series gave us an instant classic on Monday, as the Dodgers outlasted the Blue Jays in an 18-inning affair that required all hands on deck from each team’s respective benches and bullpens. Several members of this Dodgers team can remember the 18-inning marathon they fought in the 2018 World Series against Boston — […]
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The Yankees are in the early stages of offseason planning and we have little idea […]
NJ.com | Manny Gómez: Yankees fans are a contentious bunch, who love to argue with each other, but if there’s one thing they pretty much all agree on, it’s that they universally dislike Aroldis Chapman, for reasons that are too numerous to discuss here. Well, the feeling is mutual. Speaking on a podcast this week, […]
The World Series is underway, meaning that by the end of the week we’ll officially be out of MLB games to enjoy until 2026. The Yankees, of course, have been out of the running for a bit now and with a couple of weeks to decompress following the end of their season probably have their […]
Several years back, Buster Olney, the former Yankees beat writer for the New York Times and a professor emeritus of baseball journalism, wrote a book called The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty. If you haven’t already, you should read it. In his telling, the Yankee dynasty ended in the Arizona desert in 2001, when […]
Cody Bellinger was once a superstar; a Rookie of the Year-turned-MVP in his third season whose capabilities only seemed to be climbing higher and higher in LA. By the time he came to the Yankees last December in a one-for-one deal with the Cubs for Cody Poteet, he had endured a steep multi-season decline and […]
