Randy Vasquez has seen a steady increase of work since he started his career with the New York Yankees in 2023. He appeared in 11 games as a rookie and made five starts for the Yankees and finished the season with a record of 2-2. Vasquez closed the season with a 2.87 ERA and allowed […]

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 […]

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 […]

Meet the Mets With Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette both off the board, Cody Bellinger is still potentially in the cards for both the Mets and Yankees, with the Mets still needing an outfielder and the Yankees needing protection for Aaron Judge in the lineup. Max Goodman of NJ.com runs down a list of five […]

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 […]

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 […]

During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]

1949 The White Sox purchased starter Bill Bevens from the Yankees. The righthander battled control issues throughout his career, but had managed to ascend from journeyman to star with a brilliant 1946 season in the Bronx: 16-13, 2.23 ERA/3.14 FIP, 154 ERA+ and 5.0 WAR over 249 2/3 innings. But after a poor 1947 season […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

There’s a disgracefully long list of reasons the Red Sox lost Game 2 of last year’s Wild Card series to the Yankees, and I don’t think any of them are brought up enough. Ceddanne Rafaela tried to get a bunt down twice on a pair of pitches that were each about a foot outside of […]

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 […]

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 […]

MASN announced today that it will broadcast a record 20 spring training games this year, beginning February 20 against the Yankees at Ed Smith Stadium. That’s more than double the eight games aired last season, and it means Orioles fans will get an extended look at the organization’s next wave of talent earlier than expected. […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
