Yankees Birthday of the Day: Fernando Seguignol
Inevitably with a series such as this one, you’ll find one or two less notorious names to properly fill a list. So in searching for a former Yankee born on January 19th, we ended up with Fernando Seguignol as the chosen player. If you remember his short period with the Yankees, cheers to you for […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/19/26
There was very little baseball news yesterday for the most part, so please excuse this NFL digression: Cripes, how is it possible that we got an NFL season where none of the Chiefs, Cowboys, Steelers, or Eagles won a playoff game and we still wound up with a Final Four that is just a damn […]
Yankees news: Another slow day of Cody Bellinger “rumors”
CBS Sports | R.J. Anderson: With Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette having inked deals with the Dodgers and Mets, respectively, the free agent rumor mill turns to the player that the Yankees rumor mill has been focused on all winter: Cody Bellinger. According to reports, the Mets are among the teams that have checked in […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Playoff (Football) Season
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! It may be snowing in New York City this weekend, but in the sports world, the hot stove has been boiling. From the New York Giants’ hiring of John Harbaugh as their next head coach to the Dodgers’ […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Michael Pineda
For today’s birthday boy, we have ourselves an interesting, injury-riddled, and often controversial character to dive into. Michael Pineda, once acquired by the Yankees in a fairly high-profile deal, looked to be a major part of the New York rotation through the early-mid 2010s. It didn’t quite work out that way, as injuries and trouble […]
Yankees History: Roy White and the most random clutch season
Win Probability Added is a stat that measures how much a team’s chances of winning a game are altered by the hits they got, the outs they recorded on the mound, and vice versa. If you sort the greatest seasons of all time according to WPA, you’re generally going to get a bunch of great […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/18/26
After a string of pieces falling into place, the offseason went back to being quiet for a day. Cody Bellinger is now the belle of the ball with Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette off the board, and we’ll hopefully not have to wait too much longer to see where he ends up — but we’re […]
Yankees news: Bombers have seemingly put all their eggs in the Bellinger basket
New York Post | Greg Joyce: Considering the Yankees never really got past even the “checked in on” stage with Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette, as far as free agents, it seems their priority has always been Cody Bellinger. However with the first two now off the board, the Yankees’ margin for error in regards […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Chili Davis
The Yankees weren’t looking for much in December of 1997. After all, they had just won the World Series over the powerhouse Braves in a six-game series a couple of seasons ago, the franchise’s first title since their six-game victory over the Dodgers in 1978, and finished with a 96-66 record in 1997. Their roster […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/17/26
It was a heck of a hot stove week, with two pairs of transactions seemingly moving in unison. The Cubs swiped Alex Bregman from the Red Sox, which prompted Boston to pivot to a five-year deal with Ranger Suarez. A couple nights later, the Dodgers did what they do and signed Kyle Tucker, which appeared […]
Yankees news: Another Yankees-Mets showdown brewing?
CBS Sports | Dayn Perry: Thursday night’s bombshell that Kyle Tucker would be heading to Los Angeles seemed to set up another potential Yankees vs. Mets showdown for a free agent outfielder. The Mets were heavily involved in the Tucker bidding, which would lead one to believe that they could turn their atention to Cody […]
50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Gary Sheffield
The mid-2000s were a strange time for the Yankees. The dynasty of the ‘90s engineered a hangover that lasted almost ten years, where the team regularly returned strong lineups but lacked the pitching depth or that elusive “clutch” gene. In some ways, Gary Sheffield might be the poster boy for this period — he never […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Jack McDowell
The MLB player’s strike which wiped out the 1994 postseason came at a bad time for the Yankees, who had the American League’s best record when the contentious work stoppage began. Having missed a golden opportunity to return to the postseason for the first time since 1981, the Yankees were motivated to improve their roster […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/16/26
Well, we got some major clarity late last night, and it’s not the kind that’s gonna make most fans happy, as Kyle Tucker is a Dodger. Los Angeles, coming off back-to-back championships, has added the most sought-after player on the market once again. The rich get richer, in every sense; the best team in baseball […]
Yankees news: Dodgers’ Kyle Tucker signing amps up Cody Bellinger pressure
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Another day, another Cody Bellinger article. Despite recent reports that there were considerable gaps between Belli and the Yankees in terms of contract length and average annual value, Kirschner says “not so fast, my friend,” to quote the great Lee Corso. There are reasons, admittedly, the Yankees could pivot […]
Yankees 2026 international prospects signing tracker
Today marks the beginning of MLB’s 2026 international prospects signing period, as all 30 teams can now freely vie for the top amateur talent across the globe. Of course, verbal agreements with a number of prospects have likely already been reached, so even as the period only just opens on January 15th, we’re likely to […]
50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: José Contreras
After four straight World Series appearances, the New York Yankees fell to the Anaheim Angels in the 2002 ALDS, a disappointing end to the season for a team that had won 103 games. Eager to get back on top of the Junior Circuit, George Steinbrenner entered the 2002-03 offseason with a large pile of money […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Matt Holliday
It seems all great, young teams need that one guy who’s been through it before. We just saw the Toronto Blue Jays on a World Series chase with Max Scherzer holding court in the dugout every night, and for the 2017 Baby Bomber Yankee team, that man was Matt Holliday… or at least he was […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/15/26
The offseason spotlight shifted over to Boston yesterday, as the Yankees’ archrivals made a surprising pivot to sign Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130 million deal. The Sox had cash to burn after Alex Bregman wound up going to the Cubs instead of returning to Fenway, and while they probably still want to upgrade their […]
Yankees news: Ranger Suárez signs with Red Sox
New York Post | Mark Suleymanov: The Red Sox have agreed to terms with starter Ranger Suárez on a five-year deal, as reported by The Post’s Jon Heyman. The signing, which will net the left-hander $130 million and includes no deferrals, helps fortify a Boston rotation that was seen as a weakness entering this offseason. […]
How Yankees trade addition Ryan Weathers bolsters the starting rotation
The Yankees finally made their first notable external addition on Tuesday night following weeks of dormancy, acquiring left-handed starting pitcher Ryan Weathers from the Marlins for a package of four prospects. My colleague Michael provided the immediate breakdown of the trade, Weathers’ performance in his five big league seasons, and the prospects heading in the […]
50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Hideki Matsui
Last week in this series, we discussed the story of Hideki Irabu, the first Japanese player to sign with the Yankees. Irabu never fully adjusted to pitching stateside despite flashes of high-end talent and was castigated by fans, media, and ownership alike. Despite this, it would not take long for the team to return to […]
“Yankees” Birthday of the Day: Chet Brewer
There are generally enough players, managers, coaches, et cetera, for us to be able to do this Yankees birthday series without issue. Sure, 365 days is many, but so far, we’ve been able to get at least one Yankee of interest to look back on for every day. Unfortunately, today we couldn’t. Somehow, January 14th […]
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Luis Robert Jr.
As the offseason trudges on deeper and deeper into the new year, it’s looking more and more the part of a quiet one for the Yankees. For New York, there is obvious and understandable interest in retaining Cody Bellinger’s services via free agency, but the terms currently appear to be in a place that may […]
