Latest news and updates about the Yankees
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 […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates are showing a bit more aggression in free agency this offseason by making some signings and trades to help improve the offense. Adding players like Brandon Lowe, Jake Mangum and Ryan O’Hearn shows an initiative to be better on offense. The team has also been connected to New York Yankees outfielder Cody […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Forbes | Peter Chawaga: The Yankees are at an impasse in free agent negotiations with Cody Bellinger and now expect their former outfielder to sign elsewhere. However, do not expect the front office to change focus to multiple impact additions the way they pivoted from Juan Soto to Bellinger, Max Fried, and others last winter. […]

It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The hot stove has, uh, begun to slowly sort of warm up, reaching the temperature of a toaster oven left in the midafternoon July sun this week. That hasn’t kept the Yankees off social media this week, though, […]

Man makes plans, and God laughs. The Yankees find themselves in the common yet somewhat uncomfortable situation of planning for the rotation they might have, the one they could have, and the one they might be forced to have. Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón are due to return relatively early in the 2026 campaign, but […]

There is perhaps no single name more closely associated with the Yankees than Babe. You’ve got Babe Ruth. Then you’ve got Babe Dahlgren, the first baseman who replaced Lou Gehrig following the latter’s retirement in 1939. Oh yeah, and then there’s a guy named Loren Babe. The least famous of the three Babes to have […]

ESPN | Buster Olney: Since the start of the offseason, bringing back Cody Bellinger has been the Yankees’ top priority; however, that seems to be changing. With Scott Boras seeking a seven year deal with an AAV in the $37 million range for his client — substantially more than the Yankees are willing to pay, […]

Let us take a moment to revisit the Dodgers’ first World Championship as a nice throwback 70+ years later. The series started with the Dodgers dropping the first two games in the Bronx before storming back to win the next three in Brooklyn. The Yankees forced Game 7, and the Dodgers prevailed in a shutout […]

Del Pratt is not a name that is well-remembered in Yankees’ history. It was over a century ago, only one of his seasons even overlapped with Babe Ruth, he wasn’t with the team very long, and there weren’t any World Series championships during his tenure. If anything, Pratt is most known for being traded to […]

So, were we all jazzed up by the big Kaleb Ort waiver claim?? The Yankees added someone to the 40-man roster from outside the organization! Yes, Ort was previously in the organization a few years ago, but A for effort. (Yes, A is far too generous.) Today on the site, Madison will answer your mailbag […]

The Athletic | Andrew Marchand: David Cone will no longer call MLB games for ESPN, Marchand reports. Cone had been a part of ESPN’s broadcast since 2022, but won’t be a part of their coverage going forward. With the network restructuring their MLB operation after moving off of Sunday Night Baseball and focusing more on […]

No matter a contract’s length or monetary value, if the signed player spearheads perhaps the greatest dynasty in recent baseball history, it is safe to call it a success. Bernie Williams’ decision to re-sign with the Yankees in the fall of 1998 would fit that exact description, with the Bombers coming off of two World […]

From the start of the offseason, one of the free agent predictions most folks have comfortably made is that Cody Bellinger will be returning to the New York Yankees eventually. He clearly thrived with that team and in that ballpark. He provides a whole lot that they need. And each side seemed to be quite happy with the fit. ( Yankees: the Cubs say you’re welcome for trading you Bellinger for essentially nothing .) Yet, here we are on January 9, and Cody Bellinger’s free agency is playing ...

Guys like Ralph Terry are kind of all over the history of baseball, and perhaps more specifically the history of the Yankees. Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Whitey Ford make all the headlines, but as we’ve seen with recent Yankee teams, the stars always need a supporting cast. Terry was never The Guy on the […]

With things at a standstill on the Cody Bellinger front, more rumors are floating about their supposed Plan B, Bo Bichette. Jon Heyman reported that the Yankees are looking at Bichette “more seriously.” The Phillies have also expressed interest in Bichette, as have the same Blue Jays that he just left at the start of […]

Today marks the deadline for MLB teams to come to agreements with their arb-eligible players before a hearing is scheduled in the arbitration process.

When signing a talent from a foreign league, you don’t necessarily know what to expect. You can do all the in-person scouting and do all the statistical breakdowns you want, sometimes the jump in talent from another country to the majors ends up being too much to overcome. In cases like Hideki Matsui, he was […]
