The 2025 MLB season is officially over, and now, instead of the regular season, it’s award season. Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers have been handed out, and the voting pool has selected the rookies and managers of the year. But there’s still plenty to come, and the Yankees continue to be involved. The Cy Young […]
Heading into the final day before the trade deadline this season, the 2025 Yankees had a lot of question marks, but none loomed larger than the bullpen, both for 2025 and beyond. And so, Brian Cashman had himself a busy day at the deadline, pulling in David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jake Bird from […]

Free agency is officially open and this winter features a deep crop of quality if not-quite-ace tier starting pitchers. You’ve got ground ball savant Framber Valdez, strikeout artist Dylan Cease, and soft contact extraordinaire Ranger Suárez headlining the class. There’s decent depth behind that trio including future Hall of Famers Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, […]
Award week keeps moving, as we enter the back half and the biggest named awards coming tonight and tomorrow: the Cy Young and MVP announcements. The Yankees have some down-ballot votes likely coming for Max Fried, but he didn’t wind up finishing inside the top three for the AL field so his name won’t be […]
NY Post | Greg Joyce: Yankees GM Brian Cashman has been attending the annual general managers meetings this week virtually due to “something non-baseball related,” per a Yankees spokesman. They also relayed that Cashman is continuing to carry out his functions despite not being onsite, while several front office members — including assistant GM Mike […]
El Marciano officially landed for the first time in Houston, Texas, in September, 2023. Famously, the then-20-year-old took future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander yard for his first career home run. After years of hype… Yankee fans thought Domínguez was a cross between Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Mike Trout when the club signed him […]
The fifth week of the Arizona Fall League is now in the books, as we’ve reached the All-Star Game in the southwest! As a reminder, the Yankees’ representatives this year for the Mesa Solar Sox (12-14) are Bryce Cunningham, Cade Smith, Brady Kirtner, Coby Morales, Hueston Morrill, Manuel Palencia, Adam Stone, and Enmanuel Tejeda. Here’s how they […]
It was a charmed first season in pinstripes for Cody Bellinger. Acquired from the Cubs last offseason for Cody Poteet in what amounted to a salary dump, the nine-year veteran had much to prove in his walk year. After taking home Rookie of the Year honors in his first season and MVP in his third, […]
Not too much transactional news has broken this week (the story re: Emmanuel Clase and Luis L. Ortiz is in a whole different bucket), with just a couple of very small pieces crossing the wire. In one of the first trades of the offseason, the Rays sent outfielder Kameron Misner, a former first-round pick, to […]
The Athletic | Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon, Katie Woo, & Patrick Mooney ($): Kyle Tucker doesn’t have quite the allure of Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge, but he’s the top free agent in this year’s class and will land himself a healthy contract. Just who ends up signing him is an open question, […]
The offseason is in full swing, and the process of retooling the Yankees’ roster has begun. The team has picked up their option on left-handed reliever Tim Hill, extended a qualifying offer to outfielder Trent Grisham, and will soon have to make some 40-man roster decisions with the Rule 5 Draft coming up on the […]
Everything is connected in roster construction, such as the establishment of Austin Wells as a full-time starter in 2024, which resulted in the Yankees feeling comfortable enough to deal their veteran catcher, José Trevino, for some bullpen help. This is how New York ended up acquiring Fernando Cruz and his deadly splitter from the Cincinnati […]
Where have we heard this before? An elite hitting outfielder is traded to a new team a year before he is expected to get a giant payday, and then hits the open market the following fall. Like Juan Soto in November 2024, Kyle Tucker is reaching the open market after spending his contract year in […]
Just about everything related to the 2025 Major League Baseball season is done and dusted, but this week will truly wrap it up. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America voted on the awards at the end of the regular season, and now, the league will reveal the winners. The Rookies of the Year for each […]
ESPN | Jeff Passan: Cleveland Guardians relievers Emmanuel Clase and Luis L. Ortiz were indicted by the US Department of Justice over the weekend, formally charged with fraud and conspiracy. The indictments come after an investigation into unusual betting patterns centered around pitch-by-pitch side bets, and the government is accusing both relievers of deliberately throwing […]

It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! We’re now more than two full weeks out from the end of the season, which means that the hot stove is starting to ever so slowly warm up. How have the New York Yankees been spending their vacation time? […]
The slow march through the start of the offseason continues, with the next few days dedicated to waiting on players to decide if they’re going to accept the qualifying offer or not. Once that’s through, we’ll have our full official roster for free agency, and then the speculating and rumors can commence full-steam. The Yankees […]
New York Post | Dylan Svoboda: The bookmakers have set their odds on Bo Bichette’s next team and surprisingly the Yankees are in the mix with the third-best odds. He would certainly represent an upgrade over their incumbent at the position, however Brian Cashman was firm in his commitment to Anthony Volpe as the starting […]
After a promising first year in pinstripes way back in 2018, Giancarlo Stanton’s tenure as a Yankee hasn’t been the smoothest ride. It got to the point that with several years left on his deal, his contract started being considered a burden much earlier than expected. While the merits of the deal from a long-term […]
It’s the first weekend of the offseason, now officially a week past the end of the World Series. The world moves fast, and just as the champagne was drying and we were all catching our collective breath after Game 7 between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, the offseason began in earnest. Thirteen players were tendered […]
LIDOM | Alexander Gómez: The Dominican Winter League is underway, and the Leones del Escogido appear to be getting a boost to their roster soon. Jasson Domínguez is expected to join the team, though he hasn’t reported just yet, and the team’s general manager Carlos Peña is ready to let him loose in the lineup, […]
It’s OK to celebrate the little things. The Yankees boasted the best offense in baseball for the 2025 regular season, and on Friday night, that success was saluted. Four Yankees were nominated as Silver Slugger finalists, as well as the team as a whole. New York won the team-wide honor as AL Offensive Team of […]
Throughout his first full campaign in pinstripes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. built on the success he enjoyed with the Yankees after his midseason arrival from the Marlins in 2024. The 2025 season saw the flashy infielder finally settle back into his natural second base position, represent the Bombers in the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby, […]
