Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The Yankees didn’t do much in the way of new addition over this past offseason. The most notable move they made was the signing of Cody Bellinger, but he of course already spent last season in the Bronx. In terms of new pieces, the most notable was the trade for pitcher Ryan Weathers. The son […]

The Nationals have had a red hot start to Spring Training. They have won four games and tied once so far in the Grapefruit League. The Nats will look to keep that up as they travel to Tampa to take on the Yankees. This is a long trip for Spring Training but multiple regulars will […]

The Yankees’ farm system is deeper than you’d expect from an organization that traded away more than a dozen prospects at the 2025 Trade Deadline. They replenished some talent via the MLB Draft—including Dax Kilby, who has all the makings of a top prospect and looks like an absolute steal with the 29th pick—but the […]

Over the past few years, the Yankees have coveted a good deal of players from other teams who, despite not possessing star status, had profiles that Brian Cashman and his cohort of front office personnel nonetheless found appealing. Ryan McMahon was one of those players who routinely came up again and again in MLB trade […]

During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]

Today’s Yankee birthday boy is a doozie, a member of the late ‘90s dynasty teams, a fierce and iconic competitor, and a downright good baseball player. Paul O’Neill, born on this day in 1963, may not have spent his entire career in New York, but he will be remembered for his time in pinstripes, and […]

Wins and losses don’t really matter in spring training. For players, it’s a time to prepare the body and mind for the grind of a six-month season with the potential to play for several more weeks if the team makes the playoffs. It’s the perfect moment to leave a good impression to be considered for […]

Welcome to Wacky Wednesday with Washington. Was that just an excuse for dumb alliteration? Well, we’ll weather such worries whenever Will Warren weighs in. OK fine, now I’m done, but only to a certain extent. For today’s prompt, we want to be a little less serious and just consider what the funniest possible outcome for […]

MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: Spring training games have begun, and for the most part, all of the big offseason moves and acquisitions have been made. However, teams still usually have openings at the back end of their roster at this time of year, and the Yankees apparently are no different. In particular, the […]

Yankees 8 Blue Jays 7 We got to see the ball/strike appeal system, several times. It works great. Very quick. Beyond that, well, the Yankees scored a lot of runs. Jays pitchers: Batters: Starters: Subs: Tomorrow’s game isn’t on TV. Can listen on radio if you really are hard cord. The Jays are now 1-3 […]

Probably the most perplexing move the Yankees made this offseason was the re-signing of Paul Goldschmidt. After a hot start to last year — especially against lefties — he fell away towards the back half of the season. Plus with the emergence of Ben Rice as a legitimate hitter, it seemed like the Yankees didn’t […]

Last year, the Yankees were ousted by the Blue Jays in the ALDS, after having finished second behind them in the AL East on tiebreakers alone. You’d hope that this season they have some revenge on their minds when it comes to Toronto. They probably don’t need to go all out to show it today, […]

There are very few people who walk planet Earth who can say they played on the best baseball team in history. So, for those who were able to appear on the 1998 Yankees team, they can take pride in having been a part of arguably the greatest squad MLB has ever seen. Not only did […]

I’m going to post this early because I have to run out this morning, but I should be back about game time. We have an early start time: 1:00 pm Eastern. The Jays are making the stressful bus ride from Dunedin to Tampa Bay to play the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field. I found the worst […]

At some point Aaron Judge’s baseline will not be “the best or second best player in the sport”. For at least one more year though, he’s expected to be the game’s best hitter, projected for more than a half-win better than poor Bobby Witt Jr. We’re witnessing perhaps the greatest right-handed hitter of all time, […]

After adding Devin Williams last offseason, the Yankees had to feel confident about the state of their bullpen. Williams, perhaps the best reliever in the world, was joining a group that finished sixth in ERA the year prior, and now had a fearsome duo at the backend in the form of Williams and incumbent closer […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates have a little bit of a question mark with this group. Not as solid as the team’s group of starters, this crew is down previous bullpen mainstay David Bednar from the closer’s role, as he was sent off to the New York Yankees last year. That leaves Dennis Santana, who’s been a […]

The Athletic | Brendan Kuty & Chris Kirschner: ($) A projection of the Yankees Opening Day roster now that spring training is underway. There aren’t too many surprises, with Jasson Domínguez starting the year at Triple-A and Cade Winquest and Jake Bird rounding out the bullpen as perhaps the most notable insights. Kuty and Kirschner […]

Yankees baseball is back, and even though it’s only been a handful of games it feels like a turning point in the year to see the boys put on pinstripes and take the field at last. We’ve got a loaded schedule this year for spring with the World Baseball Classic right around the corner, and […]

The thing about spring training is that, in the first couple weeks, most of the action involves players that you will not see in the regular season. The first few innings might be something fun, but after that it’s only for those who really crave baseball or are overtly interested in the team’s prospects. Today, […]

In the seven-player trade that sent Juan Soto to the New York Yankees, a young 25-year-old named Randy Vásquez went from being the No. 13 prospect in the Yankees’ system to a backend starter in San Diego. Now, after achieving surprisingly good results last season, Vásquez is projected to occupy the Padres’ fourth spot in […]
