Let us take a moment to revisit the Dodgers’ first World Championship as a nice throwback 70+ years later. The series started with the Dodgers dropping the first two games in the Bronx before storming back to win the next three in Brooklyn. The Yankees forced Game 7, and the Dodgers prevailed in a shutout […]

Del Pratt is not a name that is well-remembered in Yankees’ history. It was over a century ago, only one of his seasons even overlapped with Babe Ruth, he wasn’t with the team very long, and there weren’t any World Series championships during his tenure. If anything, Pratt is most known for being traded to […]

So, were we all jazzed up by the big Kaleb Ort waiver claim?? The Yankees added someone to the 40-man roster from outside the organization! Yes, Ort was previously in the organization a few years ago, but A for effort. (Yes, A is far too generous.) Today on the site, Madison will answer your mailbag […]

The Athletic | Andrew Marchand: David Cone will no longer call MLB games for ESPN, Marchand reports. Cone had been a part of ESPN’s broadcast since 2022, but won’t be a part of their coverage going forward. With the network restructuring their MLB operation after moving off of Sunday Night Baseball and focusing more on […]

No matter a contract’s length or monetary value, if the signed player spearheads perhaps the greatest dynasty in recent baseball history, it is safe to call it a success. Bernie Williams’ decision to re-sign with the Yankees in the fall of 1998 would fit that exact description, with the Bombers coming off of two World […]

From the start of the offseason, one of the free agent predictions most folks have comfortably made is that Cody Bellinger will be returning to the New York Yankees eventually. He clearly thrived with that team and in that ballpark. He provides a whole lot that they need. And each side seemed to be quite happy with the fit. ( Yankees: the Cubs say you’re welcome for trading you Bellinger for essentially nothing .) Yet, here we are on January 9, and Cody Bellinger’s free agency is playing ...

Guys like Ralph Terry are kind of all over the history of baseball, and perhaps more specifically the history of the Yankees. Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Whitey Ford make all the headlines, but as we’ve seen with recent Yankee teams, the stars always need a supporting cast. Terry was never The Guy on the […]

With things at a standstill on the Cody Bellinger front, more rumors are floating about their supposed Plan B, Bo Bichette. Jon Heyman reported that the Yankees are looking at Bichette “more seriously.” The Phillies have also expressed interest in Bichette, as have the same Blue Jays that he just left at the start of […]

MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: Thursday was the deadline for teams and players eligible for arbitration to come to terms on deals and avoid the arbitration process. The Yankees had several players—including Jazz Chisholm Jr., David Bednar, and more—up for possible deals. They ended up coming to terms with everyone on their list. Here […]

Today marks the deadline for MLB teams to come to agreements with their arb-eligible players before a hearing is scheduled in the arbitration process. Over the course of today, many players, who are in the team control portion of their careers and haven’t yet hit free agency, will come to agreements with clubs on what […]

When signing a talent from a foreign league, you don’t necessarily know what to expect. You can do all the in-person scouting and do all the statistical breakdowns you want, sometimes the jump in talent from another country to the majors ends up being too much to overcome. In cases like Hideki Matsui, he was […]

The meeting took place just hours before Real Madrid’s Super Cup match and lasted close to 90 minutes, making it the longest of the […]

There have been six players in the long history of the Yankees to be born on January 8th. Of them, there’ve been two career minor leaguers who made brief, one-year appearances (Breyvic Valera, Kevin Whelan), a World Series champion reliever (Brian Boehringer), a veteran starter who threw a total of 1.2 innings in pinstripes (Jeff […]

The New York Yankees could be in some trouble when the 2026 season rolls around. After the Chicago Cubs acquired 27-year-old Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera in a trade for top outfield prospect Owen Caissie, infielder Christian Hernandez and third baseman Edgardo De Leon, another rotation option was promptly taken off the market. And while […]

The carousel of who the Yankees are vaguely interested in keeps spinning, as word broke yesterday that Edward Cabrera was going to Chicago in a deal with the Cubs — not only that, but apparently the Yankees were never seriously involved in talks with Miami for his services. Sure! Why not. Well, eventually they’ll do […]

FanGraphs | Michael Baumann: By now you know that the Chicago Cubs traded for righty Edward Cabrera yesterday, after a couple of days where it had sounded like the Yankees had the inside track. Cabrera is far from a finished piece, but shows tremendous amounts of potential and two stellar secondary offerings. He’s just the […]

Even as the Milwaukee Brewers have downplayed potentially trading ace Freddy Peralta, there’s reportedly growing interest among several contenders across the league. According to recent reporting from Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Dodgers and Braves have joined a group of teams — including the Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox — interested […]

The Yankees are currently deep in the throes of a very slow and quiet offseason, one that has seen the team’s largest external addition be… Cade Winquest? That shouldn’t remain the case for much longer, or at least we hope. The current buzz around the team pertains to their pursuit of an established starting pitcher […]

As we continue our daily birthday series, January 7th brings me an opportunity to take a look at a personal favorite Yankee of mine, but also one that was vital to the Yankees over the past quarter-century in a number of ways. Alfonso Soriano, coming in at the tail end of the steroid-era sluggers, somewhat […]

We’re inching closer to “counting down the days to the start of spring training” territory, but we’re not quite there yet. We’ve still got to maintain this holding pattern we’ve been in for what feels like eternity, the Yankees’ Groundhog Day of an offseason ticking by day by day. Any one of these days could […]

MLB | Bryan Hoch: He’s not just the Captain of the most storied franchise in the history of Major League Baseball. He’s also the Captain of Team USA as the red, white, and blue get ready for the World Baseball Classic. And though that will require Aaron Judge’s absence from the Yankees in March, skipper […]

The Red Sox have signed free-agent left-hander TJ Sikkema to a minor league contract, the club announced on Tuesday. The deal includes an invitation to major league spring training. Sikkema, 27, has never pitched in the majors. The Iowa native was originally selected by the Yankees with the 38th overall pick in the 2019 draft … Continue reading "Red Sox sign former Yankees first-round pick TJ Sikkema to minor league contract"
