Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The New York Yankees entered the 2025 campaign after losing a superstar from their 2024 pennant-winning club to free agency and their ace to season-ending surgery before Opening Day even arrived.

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 first domino in the Yankee offseason has fallen. Trent Grisham, he of the shocking 34-home run season, has been extended the $22.025 million qualifying offer from the club per Jeff Passan, and will now have to decide between taking that one-year contract or testing himself in free agency.

To be honest, there’s probably not going to be a ton to say about Oswaldo Cabrera’s 2025 season with the Yankees. While he did appear in over 30 games, not a ton notable happened to him, until something very unfortunately notable happened. It’s always been very easy to root for Oswaldo with his affable demeanor, […]

With the offseason officially under way, it is now the time of the year to speculate, and to consider how and by what means the Yankees might improve their roster headed into 2026. While there was plenty of good to take from the ‘25 campaign, there is just as much that can be done to […]

A couple of small news stories came across the wire in Yankees-land yesterday, the club picking up their option on Tim Hill while decline their option on Jonathan Loáisiga. This was mostly expected, but it was still noteworthy to see them officially cut ties with Loáisiga, at least for now. The righty would’ve earned $5 […]

As we sit here in early November with the last vestige of the 2025 Major League Baseball season still fresh in our minds, it’s somewhat hard to believe that in under 100 days, pitchers and catchers will report to Florida and Arizona for the beginning of 2026 spring training. The MLB season is indeed long, […]

Mentions of José Caballero as a player often get tagged with “someone you love to play with and hate to play against.” He’s a bit of a pest in that he’s fast on the basepaths, leading MLB in stolen bases in 2025. He’s also versatile and can play several different positions in the field. He’s […]

The week after the World Series ends is typically a sort of transaction limbo, as while big names like Kyle Tucker and Framber Valdez are granted free agency upon the end of the season, teams have to wait five days before being able to sign anyone (aside from minor moves). This is generally option season, […]

The 2025 Yankees were a team that should’ve had all the pieces necessary to build on their first pennant in 15 years and make a serious run at winning the World Series. They had a powerful offense, which, while lacking towards the bottom, boasted six hitters with a wRC+ north of 125, all in the […]

We’re getting into the quietest time of the baseball year, right after all of the action dies down and before any free agency frenzies break out. Minor news is rolling out, mainly related to option decisions like the one Cody Bellinger made to opt-out of the last year of his deal as expected. There will […]

The Athletic | Ian O’Connor: ($) O’Connor talks with Brian Cashman about the one word that’s anathema to all front offices, particularly the Yankees: “rebuild.” Understandably, given his team just tied for the most wins in the AL, the GM dismisses the notion of a tear-down out of hand. “There’s no indication that is something […]

Much like 2024, the Yankees’ initial bullpen construction to begin 2025 proved insufficient, particularly in the ninth inning. When Devin Williams’ time in pinstripes got off to a rocky start, it became clear GM Brian Cashman would need to find another external option at closer. On July 31st, with the Yankees in the midst of […]

Despite losing their ace in spring training and then suffering a rough patch with the rest of the team over the summer, the Yankees’ starting rotation was one of the stronger units in baseball in 2025. The group finished in the top-eight league wide in innings pitched (873), ERA (3.61), FIP (3.92), and fWAR (13.5). […]

On this day in 2009, the Yankees won their 27th and most recent World Series title. How has it been 16 years already? Goodness. They’ve been back to playoffs in 12 of the 16 seasons since then but have only been back to the Fall Classic once—last year, when they folded against the Dodgers. The […]
