Every year, the Yankees seem to pluck an unknown reliever from another roster and magnify the things he does best, converting another team’s trash into their own treasure. Clay Holmes, Ian Hamilton, Jake Cousins, and Luke Weaver stand out as notable recent examples, and it looks like we can add another name to that list. […]
We’re three weeks into the season now, and the Yankees are off to a hot start at 8-3. They swept their opening series, won the next two dropping individual games, and have the chance to win another with the series finale against the A’s today. The AL East was looking asleep at the wheel for […]

This past Saturday, Giancarlo Stanton stole the show not for his stupendous power but for his baserunning. The slugger whose speed can charitably be described as “plodding” nonetheless swiped second base in the seventh inning when the Marlins neglected to hold him on first. His first steal since the 2024 ALDS and just his second […]
