Yankees Birthday of the Day: Jack McDowell
The MLB player’s strike which wiped out the 1994 postseason came at a bad time for the Yankees, who had the American League’s best record when the contentious work stoppage began. Having missed a golden opportunity to return to the postseason for the first time since 1981, the Yankees were motivated to improve their roster […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/16/26
Well, we got some major clarity late last night, and it’s not the kind that’s gonna make most fans happy, as Kyle Tucker is a Dodger. Los Angeles, coming off back-to-back championships, has added the most sought-after player on the market once again. The rich get richer, in every sense; the best team in baseball […]
Yankees news: Dodgers’ Kyle Tucker signing amps up Cody Bellinger pressure
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Another day, another Cody Bellinger article. Despite recent reports that there were considerable gaps between Belli and the Yankees in terms of contract length and average annual value, Kirschner says “not so fast, my friend,” to quote the great Lee Corso. There are reasons, admittedly, the Yankees could pivot […]
Yankees 2026 international prospects signing tracker
Today marks the beginning of MLB’s 2026 international prospects signing period, as all 30 teams can now freely vie for the top amateur talent across the globe. Of course, verbal agreements with a number of prospects have likely already been reached, so even as the period only just opens on January 15th, we’re likely to […]
50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: José Contreras
After four straight World Series appearances, the New York Yankees fell to the Anaheim Angels in the 2002 ALDS, a disappointing end to the season for a team that had won 103 games. Eager to get back on top of the Junior Circuit, George Steinbrenner entered the 2002-03 offseason with a large pile of money […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Matt Holliday
It seems all great, young teams need that one guy who’s been through it before. We just saw the Toronto Blue Jays on a World Series chase with Max Scherzer holding court in the dugout every night, and for the 2017 Baby Bomber Yankee team, that man was Matt Holliday… or at least he was […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/15/26
The offseason spotlight shifted over to Boston yesterday, as the Yankees’ archrivals made a surprising pivot to sign Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130 million deal. The Sox had cash to burn after Alex Bregman wound up going to the Cubs instead of returning to Fenway, and while they probably still want to upgrade their […]
Yankees news: Ranger Suárez signs with Red Sox
New York Post | Mark Suleymanov: The Red Sox have agreed to terms with starter Ranger Suárez on a five-year deal, as reported by The Post’s Jon Heyman. The signing, which will net the left-hander $130 million and includes no deferrals, helps fortify a Boston rotation that was seen as a weakness entering this offseason. […]
How Yankees trade addition Ryan Weathers bolsters the starting rotation
The Yankees finally made their first notable external addition on Tuesday night following weeks of dormancy, acquiring left-handed starting pitcher Ryan Weathers from the Marlins for a package of four prospects. My colleague Michael provided the immediate breakdown of the trade, Weathers’ performance in his five big league seasons, and the prospects heading in the […]
50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Hideki Matsui
Last week in this series, we discussed the story of Hideki Irabu, the first Japanese player to sign with the Yankees. Irabu never fully adjusted to pitching stateside despite flashes of high-end talent and was castigated by fans, media, and ownership alike. Despite this, it would not take long for the team to return to […]
“Yankees” Birthday of the Day: Chet Brewer
There are generally enough players, managers, coaches, et cetera, for us to be able to do this Yankees birthday series without issue. Sure, 365 days is many, but so far, we’ve been able to get at least one Yankee of interest to look back on for every day. Unfortunately, today we couldn’t. Somehow, January 14th […]
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Luis Robert Jr.
As the offseason trudges on deeper and deeper into the new year, it’s looking more and more the part of a quiet one for the Yankees. For New York, there is obvious and understandable interest in retaining Cody Bellinger’s services via free agency, but the terms currently appear to be in a place that may […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/14/26
Well what do you know? The Yankees actually made a move last night! Marlins lefty Ryan Weathers wasn’t really in trade rumors, but the Yanks brought him aboard in exchange for four mostly lower-ranked prospects (though Baseball America ranked Dillon Lewis eighth in the system). Michael had the story for us. Weathers will likely get […]
Yankees news: Trade complete for Marlins’ Ryan Weathers
ESPN | Alden Gonzalez: The Yankees bolstered their pitching staff yesterday, swinging a trade with the Marlins for left-hander Ryan Weathers in exchange for four prospects. The team confirmed the news last night. The son of 1996 Yankees World Series champion David Weathers, Ryan has been a starter and occasionally a reliever in his career, […]
Yankees acquire lefty starter Ryan Weathers from Marlins
It’s been 97 days since the Yankees were eliminated in Game 4 of the ALDS by the eventual pennant-winning Toronto Blue Jays. While the Yankees have done some minor housekeeping in the offseason, they have yet to add an external player who isn’t a waiver claim, on a minor-league deal, or dealing with Rule 5 […]
50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Jason Giambi
It seems like a lifetime ago, but once upon a time, recent Yankee teams of yesteryear trotted out a succession of consistent, even terrifying, offensive threats at first base. Donnie Baseball paved the way for Tino Martinez, who held down the fort admirably during the dynasty years. The last time the Yanks reached the mountaintop, […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Darrell Rasner
The mid 2000s were a pretty brutal period in Yankees’ history when it comes to one specific facet of the team: pitching. Andy Pettitte left the team in free agency after 2003, having not felt wanted enough by the Yankees, and almost every notable pitching move the team made until his return in 2007 didn’t […]
State of the Yankees’ System: Second Base
The state of second base around Major League Baseball as a whole is not particularly strong entering 2026. The number of stars at the position is as low as it’s been in recent memory, making the few players who do fit that description coveted assets and a major advantage for their respective teams. The Yankees […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/13/26
With January almost halfway done, we’re getting close to Groundhog Day, though Yankees fans would be forgiven for feeling as if though they’ve been living Groundhog Day for weeks now. This week started the same it always does round these parts, with more reports about the Yankees’ offer to Cody Bellinger and the alleged impasse […]
Yankees news: Peralta, Hoerner the gems of trade market speculation
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Upgrading the rotation has been the B-plot of this offseason with the endless cycle of Cody Bellinger rumors, but it remains a goal nonetheless, and the Yankees might be in position to give themselves a major boost there. Milwaukee is shopping their ace Freddy Peralta, and their desire for […]
50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Mike Mussina
When you’ve won three World Series titles in a row, it might feel tempting to rest on your laurels and run it back with the same group that brought such an extended period of success. However, the Yankees’ five-game romp of the Mets in the 2000 Subway Series masked many of the holes on the […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Iván Nova
Iván Nova always wanted to be a Yankee. Growing up in the Dominican Republic outside of San Cristóbal, his father, Manuel, passed on a passion for the Bronx Bombers. As the younger Nova developed into an intriguing pitching prospect, a Red Sox scout came calling, offering the right-hander a contract. He turned the Yankees’ rivals down […]
Pinstripe Alley is looking for new writers
We’re two weeks into the new year at this point, and at Pinstripe Alley, we’re hoping to add some new writers for the 2026 season (in addition to bringing back an old friend, who you’ll hear from in a week or so). We’ve had to bid farewell to a few folks since the end of […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/12/26
The latest offseason development is yet another underwhelming one, as after news came out that the Yankees are reportedly pivoting away from Cody Bellinger and were checking in on Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette, the very next day poured water on those two as well saying that the Yankees were not involved with either of […]
