CC Sabathia’s path to becoming a New York Yankees legend came with plenty of uncertainty. In July 2008, the Cleveland Indians (now the Guardians) traded Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers in the final year of his contract. He entered free agency after helping the Brewers reach the postseason in 2008. Although they offered him a […]

Right-hander Camilo Doval’s return to San Francisco went about as well as possible. The reliever struck out the side against the Dodgers on Saturday. He hit 99 mph multiple times. Doval was designated for assignment by the Pirates and claimed by the Giants earlier this week. The Giants traded Doval to the Yankees at last year’s trade deadline. He struggled down the stretch with the club, fading out of a high-leverage role. The first half of 2026 didn’t go much better. New York sent Doval to th...
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! With the four seed locked up and the division out of reach, most of this week was a late September spring training for the Yankees, complete with a weekend filled with rain, rain, and somehow, even […]

This lineup will be fascinating. Ali Sanchez at second base, maybe?
The post The Season Mercifully Ends appeared first on Replacement Level Yankee Weblog .
The 2019 Yankees are my second favorite squad in recent-ish memory (after 2017), in large part because of the sheer number of surprise performances from unlikely players – Gio Urshela! Mike Tauchman! Cameron Maybin! – that buoyed the team. David Hale isn’t the first name that comes to mind when you think about that year, […]
The Yankees spent September hoping Clarke Schmidt could give them another October bullpen arm. Now he’s back on the injured […]
Meet the New York Yankees' all-time October lineup, from Mariano Rivera and Whitey Ford to Yogi Berra, based on postseason production
With more nasty weather thrashing the East Coast, the Yankees did not play today—meaning all eyes could shift to the rest of the league. New York doesn’t have anything more to play for, but that was far from the case for many of their AL contemporaries. One division was finally decided on this penultimate day […]
We’ve reached the strange end of what’s been a pretty strange season. Thanks to a Nor’easter that slammed into the east coast this weekend, the Yankees preemptively moved their originally scheduled Saturday game to Friday, leaving a day off before the last game of the season. Yet the storm still rages, and it’s possible that […]
NEW YORK—Gunnar Henderson didn’t play in the second game of Friday night’s doubleheader against the Yankees — just the third game he didn’t play this season. After the postgame interviews were concluded, Henderson walked back into the clubhouse and agreed to discuss his disappointing 2026 season with a handful of Oriole reporters. This interview has […]
ESPN | Jorge Castillo: The Yankees and Red Sox will face each other in the playoffs for the seventh time. It’s a rematch of last season’s AL Wild Card Series when Cam Schlittler memorably burst onto the national stage with eight shutout innings and 12 strikeouts to seal the series in the decisive Game 3. […]
After a disastrous pandemic-shortened 2020 season in which the Red Sox finished 24-36 and cycled through one of the worst pitching staffs in franchise history, there was at least one significant reward waiting for them.The fourth overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft in which Boston used it on Eastlake High School shortstop Marcelo Mayer, a player many believed wouldn’t even be available when the Red Sox went on the clock.
Christian Yelich may not be the player he was when he first landed on the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018, but this left-handed hitter helped the franchise grow into the powerhouse it is today. Moreover, even when the man is struggling at the plate, he can still lead. Manager Pat Murphy and the clubhouse are certainly […]

When Aaron Judge went down with his rib injury earlier in the year and ended up missing the majority of the season, it seemed that the New York Yankees did not have a legitimate Most Valuable Player candidate. While Ben Rice became a solid home run hitter and gave the Yankees a legitimate long ball […]

NEW YORK—The Orioles-Yankees game on Sunday will start at 1:05 p.m. instead of the scheduled 3:20 p.m., because of the forecast. Heavy rain is forecast for late afternoon Sunday. After consulting with Major League Baseball, it was decided that the final game of the regular season will start earlier. It’s the third change for the […]

The weather has gotten all kinds of ugly in the Northeast, scrambling plans for the final weekend of the regular season.
The Yankees split Friday’s doubleheader with Baltimore, losing the first game 10-2 before winning the second 6-3. In the win, […]
The minor-league season has officially come to an end, a season in which we saw a bit of a shift from the usual trend of Yankees’ minor league seasons. We didn’t see too many midseason departures due to a weird deadline, we didn’t see a plethora of starting pitchers excel and we saw, for once, […]
“But it turned out awful nice, I’ll tell you that — 16 years. You know, I lasted more than I thought I would. Boy, what a life. I really enjoyed every minute of it. Even when I was horseshit, I still liked it.” As he approached his 100th birthday in 2025, Bobby Shantz took the […]
Good morning Birdland, We know the Orioles have already been eliminated from the playoff picture, but it’s possible that their regular season is over a day or two early as well. They played a double-header with the Yankees on Friday, where the teams split the games. The Orioles walloped their hosts 10-2 in the opener […]
Having moved a scheduled Saturday game against the Orioles up to Friday for a straight doubleheader, the Yankees and O’s split the twin bill. Baltimore blew out Brendan Beck and company in a 10-2 loss in the opener—an ignominious follow-up to CC Sabathia’s number retirement—but Ryan Yarbrough and Will Warren combined to lead them to […]
