Yankees spring training roster battles: “Making the Team Meter” round three
It’s a Monday in March, and you know what that means: it’s time for another edition of Pinstripe Alley’s Making the Team Meter! The third week of March is typically a major milestone, as we are now officially closer to Opening Day than we are to the first spring training game. As such, this is […]
Is the WBC the US’s to lose now?
The World Baseball Classic gave us another game that lived up to the title of the tournament on Sunday, with the United States taking down the Dominican Republic in a narrow 2-1 nailbiter. It had some incredible moments — both on offense with Junior Caminero, Gunnar Henderson, and Roman Anthony all going deep, and on […]
Yankees news: Rodón surprising himself in camp
New York Post | Greg Joyce: Carlos Rodón continues to work back from offseason arm surgery, and he’s surprised himself a bit in bullpen sessions. “I backed off and threw harder,” Rodón said. “I was like, ‘OK, that makes no sense.’ But it made it easier to command. It’s just little ins and outs of […]
Team USA wins tense thriller to advance to World Baseball Classic Championship Game
All things considered, this year’s iteration of the World Baseball Classic has delivered on all of its promise for excitement. Sunday’s game, between two powerhouses in the Dominican Republic and the United States, was a matchup that was highly anticipated, and would decide who would appear in the WBC championship game. The Classic’s semifinal game […]
Inclement weather ends Yankees vs. Orioles after just two-plus innings
Given the forecast in Sarasota, it was always going to be a squeeze to get this Yankees/Orioles game in on Sunday night. Indeed, the heavens opened in the third inning and the rain never stopped. Rather than mill around waiting for a break in the weather that may never have come, both teams decided to […]
New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles/USA vs. Dominican Republic (World Baseball Classic semifinal)
Editor’s note: We have Yankees in separate games tonight and since we’ve been preparing game threads for the knockout stage of the 2026 World Baseball Classics, we’re blending both together tonight! No need to make people go to separate threads for different conversations at the same time. The Yankees’ spring training game against the Orioles […]
Yankees, Luis Gil done in by the long ball against Tigers
Summoning all the optimism a person can after a 12-1 run loss, the best I could offer in reference to Luis Gil’s disastrous Sunday performance is this: “At least he didn’t walk a boatload of people.” The Yankees’ starter lined up to face a pretty strong Tigers lineup, and his inability to keep the ball […]
New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers: Luis Gil vs. Framber Valdez
Results be damned, Max Fried was healthy and pitched five-plus frames on Saturday, which is really all we want to see from this team’s current top pitcher. Wrapping up the weekend, the Yankees will play a splt-sqquad doubleheader on Sunday, starting with a matchup against a familiar face on an unfamiliar team. One of the […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: World Baseball Classic in full swing
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week has been a whirlwind of baseball, filled with spring training games and, of course, the World Baseball Classic. How have the Yankees been spending their time off the diamond? Let’s find out! The WBC Continues […]
2026 MLB Team Preview Series: Cincinnati Reds
When looking back at the 2025 postseason, one would be forgiven for forgetting that the Cincinnati Reds were involved. Even despite the inherent dangers of a short-term series, the Reds weren’t able to give a proper contest to the Dodgers, falling in two straight games during Terry Francona’s first year in charge. It might have […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Mike Pagliarulo
The annals of baseball history abound with stories of vaunted prospects who never fulfilled their potential. Whether due to injury, work ethic, or simply misplaced projections, these figures serve as cautionary tales to temper our expectations whenever the next “sure thing” breaks onto the scene. A story far less often told is of the player […]
2026 World Baseball Classic Quarterfinals: Venezuela ousts Japan, Italy stuns Puerto Rico
After the Dominican Republic and the US both punched their tickets to the WBC semifinals on Friday night, Saturday saw the following matchups: Puerto Rico vs. Italy, and Venezuela vs. Japan. Here’s how the games played out. Quarterfinals Game 3: Italy 8, Puerto Rico 6 Even though Puerto Rico’s 2026 WBC campaign was marred by […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 3/15/26
Our World Baseball Classic Final Four is set. Team USA will square off tonight at 8pm ET on FS1 with the Dominican Republic in a dynamic matchup of Paul Skenes vs. the formidable Dominican lineup to see who will advance to the WBC Championship Game In tomorrow’s game, Italy will try to continue their dream […]
Yankees news: Kyle Carr among four spring training cuts
NJ.com | Randy Miller: The Yankees reassigned four pitchers from spring training camp Saturday morning. The four non-roster invitees — Michael Arias, Kyle Carr, Dylan Coleman, and Dom Hamel — will continue to ramp up at the team’s minor-league complex. Carr, MLB Pipeline’s No. 11 Yankees prospect, is the most touted of the bunch and […]
Phillies’ late homer dooms Yankees as bullpen falters behind Max Fried
I think it may be possible there’s some risk in trading for Rockies relievers. The org isn’t exactly known for churning out well-developed arms, and Angel Chivilli is having a nightmare of a spring training. The Yankees got a good start from Max Fried — save one bad frame — and clawed their way out […]
World Baseball Classic quarterfinals thread: Japan vs. Venezuela/Italy vs. Puerto Rico
The favorites prevailed during last night’s World Baseball Classic quarterfinals, as Team USA defeated Canada, 5-3, and the Dominican Republic handed down a whooping on South Korea that became mercy-rule clinch on an Austin Wells three-run homer. A can’t-miss showdown between the mighty Dominican lineup and defending NL Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes is […]
New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies: Max Fried vs. Bryse Wilson
I’m still a little let down after Canada bowed out of the World Baseball Classic yesterday, but the best (and sometimes the worst!) part about baseball is there’s another game today. This time, my attention will be taken up by an exhibition contest between the Yankees and the Phillies, from the Bombers’ spring home in […]
2026 MLB Team Preview Series: Detroit Tigers
When a team — say, the Detroit Tigers — has, arguably, one of the best pitchers on the planet — maybe someone like Tarik Skubal — and their control of that pitcher is in its last season, it would make sense to seize the moment and try to win it all. Further, let’s posit that […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Butch Wynegar
Butch Wynegar had such exciting potential when the Twins traded him to the Yankees in 1982. A Rookie of the Year runner-up and already a two-time All-Star catcher at the age of 26, he should have been a foundational piece of the offense alongside Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield, and later Rickey Henderson. Instead, the end […]

2026 World Baseball Classic Quarterfinals: Dominican Republic dominates, USA cruises
The knockout stage of the 2026 World Baseball Classic kicked off Friday night, with the Dominican Republic drawing a gutsy South Korean squad, while Team USA faced off with their northern neighbors Canada. Here’s how things went down in Games 1 and 2 of the quarterfinals. Quarterfinals Game 1: Dominican Republic 10, South Korea 0 […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 3/14/26
Good morning everyone, just for the weekend, we’ll be returning to our traditional Today on PSA open thread format. It’s sure to be a busy weekend, with the World Baseball Classic in its knockout rounds, and spring training starting to head towards its end. It’s a funny piece of dissonance, switching from watching high-stakes, high-level […]
Yankees News: Gerrit Cole focused as he continues comeback
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: Having missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, Gerrit Cole is on the comeback trail. The Athletic got a chance to shadow him as he worked out as part of his ongoing rehab, getting a look into the mad man — I say with affection — that […]
World Baseball Classic quarterfinals thread: USA vs. Canada/Dominican Republic vs. South Korea
Happy Friday, all! The Yankees played earlier today in spring training against the Braves, but a few other Yankees are actually playing tonight. And since the World Baseball Classic is now in the knockout stage, how about we have a game thread for tonight’s two contests? First up is the Dominican Republic, who looked an […]
