The New York Yankees could be in some trouble when the 2026 season rolls around. After the Chicago Cubs acquired 27-year-old Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera in a trade for top outfield prospect Owen Caissie, infielder Christian Hernandez and third baseman Edgardo De Leon, another rotation option was promptly taken off the market. And while […]

The carousel of who the Yankees are vaguely interested in keeps spinning, as word broke yesterday that Edward Cabrera was going to Chicago in a deal with the Cubs — not only that, but apparently the Yankees were never seriously involved in talks with Miami for his services. Sure! Why not. Well, eventually they’ll do […]

FanGraphs | Michael Baumann: By now you know that the Chicago Cubs traded for righty Edward Cabrera yesterday, after a couple of days where it had sounded like the Yankees had the inside track. Cabrera is far from a finished piece, but shows tremendous amounts of potential and two stellar secondary offerings. He’s just the […]

The Yankees are currently deep in the throes of a very slow and quiet offseason, one that has seen the team’s largest external addition be… Cade Winquest? That shouldn’t remain the case for much longer, or at least we hope. The current buzz around the team pertains to their pursuit of an established starting pitcher […]

As we continue our daily birthday series, January 7th brings me an opportunity to take a look at a personal favorite Yankee of mine, but also one that was vital to the Yankees over the past quarter-century in a number of ways. Alfonso Soriano, coming in at the tail end of the steroid-era sluggers, somewhat […]

We’re inching closer to “counting down the days to the start of spring training” territory, but we’re not quite there yet. We’ve still got to maintain this holding pattern we’ve been in for what feels like eternity, the Yankees’ Groundhog Day of an offseason ticking by day by day. Any one of these days could […]

MLB | Bryan Hoch: He’s not just the Captain of the most storied franchise in the history of Major League Baseball. He’s also the Captain of Team USA as the red, white, and blue get ready for the World Baseball Classic. And though that will require Aaron Judge’s absence from the Yankees in March, skipper […]

In the long lineage of beloved Yankees, the predominant image is of the stoic, poised figure who excelled under New York’s bright lights and handled the media like a professional. Joe DiMaggio. Derek Jeter. Aaron Judge. But there is also a storied history bubbling under the surface of fan favorites who won over the Bronx […]

By virtue of his own talent and the talented teams he played on, Don Gullett was anointed as a future Hall of Famer by those around him in the early stages of his career. He racked up over 90 wins by the time he turned 25 and found himself compared to Sandy Koufax. Starting with […]

First base had been something of a revolving door in the Bronx for years, dating all the way back to the departure of Mark Teixeira in 2016. The switch-hitting slugger provided years of All-Star level production at one of the game’s most important positions, but the Yankees were unable to find an immediate successor after […]

It’s a new year, but the Yankees still resemble their same old selves with minimal moves made thus far in the offseason. That may finally be changing, as there’s noise of a potential deal for Miami’s Edward Cabrera in the works, but for now we’ll have to wait and see if that gets completed. Even […]

The 1995-1996 offseason saw the Yankees and Orioles in an arms race — quite literally. The two teams, who had finished second and third in the AL East, respectively, had competed hard for David Cone, who ultimately opted to re-sign with the Bombers four days before Christmas. The Orioles then swung a trade with the […]

Art Fletcher had a long and distinguished major league career that spanned 14 years, racking up over 47 bWAR at shortstop in the process. But that is not enough to get Fletcher a feature in our Yankee Birthday series, considering none of those games involved him in pinstripes. It’s his post-playing days that get him […]

Good morning! The holidays are over, it was 14 degrees in Boston this morning, and everyone is back to work. Thus begins the worst, most depressing stretch of the entire year. Can we at least get some interesting Red Sox news to hold us over? No, we can’t. But we can get unsourced rumors about […]
