Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The Athletic | Chris Kirshner: (subscription required) Who sets the Yankees’ lineups? The predominant assumption among fans is that the front office and their analytics department has the final say. Not so, says Aaron Boone. He, Brian Cashman, and bench coach Brad Ausmus all claim that Boone sets all of his lineups himself, and that […]
With the Yankees already heading out west for the opening series of the regular season against the Giants, they decided to make a little pit stop along the way. On Monday, the Yankees were in Arizona to end their spring season, stopping for a pair of games against the Cubs. As for the opener of […]
The Cubs met the Yankees in an Arizona spring game for the first time in 75 years and left the visitors wishing they hadn’t bothered. In front of a full house at Sloan Park that included many Yankees fans, the Cubs exploded with three home runs in an 18-hit attack that defeated the visitors 15-6. […]

Go get ‘em, Shōta.
The Yankees have wrapped up their 2026 spring training slate in Florida, as they prepare to begin the new season on Wednesday. However on their way out to San Francisco for Opening Day, they’ve made a little pit stop at the Cubs’ spring complex. Today and tomorrow, the Yankees are in Arizona to wrap up […]
It’s finally here: this week Opening Day arrives and the Yankees’ 2026 season will kick off in San Francisco. We’ve got just a couple of spring training games left to get through before the record resets, but by the time this mailbag returns to answer your questions New York will officially be either a half-game […]
Bo Bichette and the Mets were a match that was made for a variety of reasons. Following the departure of Pete Alonso and trade of Brandon Nimmo, the Mets had some open plate appearances to fill in, to say the very least. Nimmo will almost certainly be replaced by Carson Benge, as the rookie hit […]

Monday notes… Here are today’s particulars. Neither the Cubs nor the Yankees starting lineups were available at press time. Shōta Imanaga will start for the Cubs. Carlos Lagrange will start for the Yankees. No TV today. There will be radio broadcasts on WSCR The Score and also the Yankees radio flagship, WFAN 660 AM. MLB.com […]
Hello, Yankees fans and fantasy baseball enthusiasts. This article dives into five Bronx Bombers you should draft this year and five you should avoid. We don’t normally talk about fantasy baseball much around here, but the beginning of a new season—when so many drafts are potentially on the table—is as good a time as any! […]
I always enjoy writing about Dellin Betances — not the least because he’s one of my personal favorite Yankees. In terms of post-dynasty players, he’s easily on my Mount Rushmore of favorites. But his is also a great story. The hometown kid burst on the scene with a ton of prospect hype, only to look […]
Among decisions to be made throughout spring training, the ones that can change the most as the preseason progresses is the bullpen. Often, the low-leverage arms will be the 25th or 26th guys on an Opening Day roster, and are not immune to trips back-and-forth to the minors. For the Yankees, Cade Winquest may end […]
It’s our final Monday before Opening Day, and you know what that means: It’s time for the finale of the 2025 Pinstripe Alley Making the Team Meter. Most years, the roster would largely be set by this point, with just one or two spots up for grabs, and we would use this post as an […]
The Yankees begin their 2026 season in just over 60 hours from post time. Before they face the Giants in San Francisco for Opening Night on Wednesday though, they’ll stop by Arizona for a couple exhibition tune-ups at the Cubs’ spring training complex in Mesa. We also have a Brewers team preview coming up today, […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: (subscription required) Following yesterday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Yankees announced their rotation to start the season: Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Ryan Weathers. Notably absent, of course, was 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil. With the number of days off during the […]
Will Warren has set the tone this spring, and his final tune-up did not disappoint, as the Yankees defeated the Phillies 6-2 on Sunday afternoon. In what turned into an eventful first inning, Warren had to work around a leadoff double by Kyle Schwarber. After the extra-base hit, Warren leaned on both his stuff and […]
The Yankees are quickly finalizing the 26-man roster that they’ll bring with them to San Francisco for Wednesday’s season opener, and with several bubble roster spots recently solidified, all that’s left is bookkeeping on the margins. One of those moves was to figure out what to do with infielder Jorbit Vivas, who was out of […]
The Washington Nationals made a late trade right before the season. Paul Toboni traded 21 year old pitching prospect Sean Paul Linan to the Yankees in exchange for infielder Jorbit Vivas. This move will bolster the Nationals infield depth. Vivas will be on the 40-man roster, so the Nats will have to make a corresponding […]
The Yankees are back in action today on the last sabbath before baseball stats start to matter again. The Bombers take on the Phillies in the final spring training game of the year at GMS Field in Tampa, and dare we label this one a potential pitching duel? Will Warren gets the ball for New […]
The Phillies will play their penultimate game of the 2026 Grapefruit League season on Sunday when they travel to Tampa to face the New York Yankees. Aaron Nola, coming off a strong performance in the WBC will get the ball in his final appearance before the regular season. The Yankees will go with righthander Will […]
What’s This Team’s Deal? This team has won one World Series since the year 2000. I haven’t looked into what happened in the hundred years before that. In 2025, after winning a three-game Wild Card series against the Red Sox, New York went down to the Toronto Blue Jays 3-games-to-1, allowing 37 runs in those […]
The early 1990s were a bit of a wasteland for the Yankees as a franchise. By winning percentage, the 1990 and ‘91 teams are two of the worst in franchise history, and they mostly continued the story of the 1980s, where the Yankees made the playoffs just once. By 1993, they began to show signs […]
The Yankees’ Opening Day roster became a lot clearer yesterday, as the team made it official that Randal Grichuk would be traveling to San Francisco and Oswaldo Cabrera will begin the year in the minor leagues. They made a few other cuts to the roster, trimming down more of the infield depth options, and now […]
Associated Press: The Yankees took a giant step into finalizing their roster on Saturday, letting outfielder Randal Grichuk know that he made the team despite a .308 spring OPS (no, not OBP) in limited action. His ability to mash lefties (career 118 wRC+ vs. LHP) ended up earning him a place. It was a busy […]
