Celebrating 55 years of being a Yankees fan
Being a Yankees fan is in my blood. My late father Bill was a diehard Yankees; his favorite player was Mickey Mantle. There was no way his first-born and only son was not going to be a Yankees fan. He took me to my first game 55 years ago, the anniversary of which just passed […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ray Scarborough
On August 22, 1952, the Red Sox sold the contract of a 35-year-old swingman to their arch rivals. “He was no help to us,” said Lou Boudreau, Boston’s manager, bitterly. “I gave him plenty of chances to start and relieve and he didn’t come through.” In the midst of a pennant race, the mighty Yankees […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox winning streak ends, while Rays take another
Following multiple rainouts on Tuesday, Wednesday was chock-full of important action around the American League. The Yankees, playing a pair against the Pirates, split the two contests, while the rest of their AL East foes were tied up in important divisional matchups. It was an eventful day, as the Rays continued to beat up on […]
Yankees potential trade target: Bo Bichette
It’s been a disaster in Queens. The Mets are no longer the second-worst team in baseball, now merely tied with the Royals for the fourth-worst record. There’s some kind of a reset coming, with the team itself leaking that outside of Juan Soto and a couple young building blocks, anyone who can be moved is […]
Yankees prospects: George Lombard Jr. stays hot with three hits
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 4-5 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 3-4, 2 2B, BB, K — just keeps rolling in return from the IL, even in defeat for Scranton; he’s 9-for-17 with three doubles and a homer across four games, up to an .832 OPS at Triple-AC J.C. Escarra 0-5, K, GIDP2B Marco […]
Which rival makes the biggest Trade Deadline splash?
Happy Thursday, everyone. The Yankees’ slumbering lineup threatened us with a doubleheader sweep and series loss at the hands of the Pirates, as they scored in only 2 of their 18 innings on offense yesterday. A late three-run homer by Ben Rice wasn’t enough to save them from losing in Manfredball in the opener, and […]
Yankees news: José Caballero’s routine targeted by MLB
Associated Press | Ronald Blum: José Caballero’s at-bat routine has been a source of conversation between the Yankees and Major League Baseball. Apparently, the league has joined other teams in growing weary of his refusal to acknowledge the pitcher until there are eight seconds remaining on the pitch clock. This has led to a series […]
Yankees split doubleheader as Max Fried dominates in first start back from injury
Pirates rookie Bubba Chandler entered this game with a 4.77 ERA and the highest walk rate (13.1-percent) of any starter in baseball. Of course, that means the Yankees got blanked and drew just one walk in his 6.1 innings of work. Fortunately, Max Fried was even more dominant in his first start back from injury […]
New York Yankees vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Max Fried vs. Bubba Chandler
The Yankees came oh-so-close to completing another late comeback, only to stall out after Ben Rice’s game-tying three-run homer and eventually lose in extras. They still have a chance to split the doubleheader and win the series as they take the field less than three hours after the final out of Game 1, and they’ll […]
Fernando Cruz falters in extras as Yankees drop twin bill opener to Pirates
Weekday matinees are dumb. I get that it was partially a necessity today because of the rainout yesterday and it’s always used for a getaway game, but it was also pre-scheduled and it never looks right at Yankee Stadium. That’s not an excuse for what happened today, or why the Yankees always seem to be […]
New York Yankees vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Gerrit Cole vs. Mitch Keller
Baseball’s a weird sport. Vibes can shift so quickly. I mean, Boston fans probably felt absolutely miserable about three weeks ago and now they haven’t lost since America was only 249 years old. The Rays, once 19 games over .500 and five games up in the AL East, are cooling off (though the collapsing Blue […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Sparky Lyle
The Yankees bullpen has always been a key part of World Series championships, and it’s seen a host of exciting names throughout the organization’s history. The first name that comes to mind is Mariano Rivera, but after that, an assortment of names could fly depending on who is asked. Goose Gossage, Dave Righetti, David Robertson, […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays thump Blue Jays again on rainy Tuesday
The Yankees and Pirates weren’t the only teams to get washed out of play on Tuesday night. In addition to numerous minor-league postponements, the only thing that could apparently stop the streaking Red Sox in their path was the rain. Like the Yankees, they will have a day/night doubleheader on deck today against the Orioles, […]
Yankees potential trade target: Taylor Ward
Where were you on November 18, 2025, when the Orioles sent Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for one year of Taylor Ward? The trade was a shocker at the time as Rodriguez, though coming off an injury, was not yet arbitration eligible and still had four years of team control remaining and Ward had just […]
Yankees prospects: Lombard collects two hits, RailRiders roll over Mets
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 13-5 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 2-5, 1 RBI, 2 R, 2 K — no homer this time, but the top prospect is staying hotC J.C. Escarra 2-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 3 R, 2 BB2B Marco Luciano 3-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 R, 1 BBRF Yanquiel Fernández […]
How will the first Gerrit Cole/Max Fried 1-2 punch look?
The Yankees’ rotation has been a stalwart for most of the year, carrying them through the first third of the year and staying strong at the top even when some of their members started to rack up injuries. Cam Schlittler has emerged as a homegrown ace and potential Cy Young winner in his second season, […]
Yankees news: Max Fried returns, gets start Wednesday
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The original lead for this link dump was previewing Max Fried’s last Triple-A rehab start, which was supposed to come today. Instead, you already know that the left-hander is rejoining the Yankee roster, and the long-awaited one-two punch of Gerrit Cole and Max Fried atop the Yankee rotation […]
Yankees to activate Max Fried for Wednesday night start vs. Pirates
The rainout of Tuesday’s game against the Pirates and subsequent rescheduling to a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday brought forward some earlier-than-expected news. The Yankees have announced that they will activate Max Fried from the IL and that the southpaw starter will start the second game of the twin bill, with Gerrit Cole starting the matinee. […]
How did Yankees fans grade their top 2026 MLB Draft picks?
The MLB Draft was just over a week and a half ago at this point, and the good news for the Yankees is that they’ve already signed all 20 of the players they selected. All information on the signing details, player backgrounds, and bonuses can be found in the linked tracker. The most eyes were […]
Yankees postpone Tuesday night’s game against Pirates, to play split-bill doubleheader Wednesday
The Yankees announced that tonight’s game, scheduled for 7:05 EST against the Pittsburgh Pirates, has been postponed due to inclement weather forecasted to sustain through much of the night in New York. The Yankees and Pirates will play a split-admission doubleheader tomorrow, with Game 1 at 1:05 EST and Game 2 at 7:05 EST. Those […]
Yankees At-Bat(s) of the Week: Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr. (7/19)
What’s that, the Yankees offense is showing the faintest stirrings from a summer of dormancy? It’s just one game, but the eight runs they scored against the normally excellent Pirates starter Braxton Ashcraft is a step in the right direction. Jazz Chisholm Jr. took center stage with his two home runs and season-high five RBIs, […]

The four major affiliates had their own version of an all-star break this week, so in lieu of a regular recap about the last few games, we’re going to take stock of the system, the names you should know ahead of the trade deadline, and the storylines as the season moves into the home stretch. […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: CC Sabathia
Eighteen years ago, the New York Yankees were a broken team. The clubhouse was divided into factions, ace Mike Mussina had just retired, a young generation of arms had floundered, and for the first time in more than a decade, the team spent October on the couch. It was, for fans who had grown up […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays crush Jays as Red Sox stay hot
Thanks to two important home runs from Jazz Chisholm Jr., the Yankees opened up a new week and a new series with a win. While Ryan Weathers didn’t have a great start on the mound, the Yankees offense did enough to pick up an 8-5 win over the Pirates on Monday night. The Yankees held […]
