Joe Torre managed the Yankees for 12 seasons, clinching six pennants and bringing four championships to the Bronx. Through his success and steady hand, the former league MVP made himself into something of a modern legend as a skipper. In addition to his people skills, Torre was hailed for an ability to seemingly push the […]
I moved across the country in 2019, packing a VW Jetta with pretty much everything I owned and coming to Vancouver. One of the first groups of people I met and made friends with were the core of my Sunday wood bat league team, and through them I started technically sports gambling. We didn’t just […]
The 2026 season has begun, and the Yankees started their year off with a big 7-0 win over the Giants in San Francisco. The game was in their hands nearly the entire way, with a first inning jam being the only threat to Max Fried’s day before the offense jumped Logan Webb for five runs […]
The Athletic | Andrew Marchand: As MLB, and sports leagues around the country, tries to keep juicing television revenues, it becomes harder and harder for fans to keep track of where their favorite team’s games will be shown. The Yankees’ opener on Netflix last night was symbolic of the fractured nature of the TV landscape, […]
Opening Day is in the books and it couldn’t have gone much better for the Yankees. It was a bit of a throwback game as the Yankees scored seven runs without the ball leaving the yard, the hitters aggressive early in counts to collect ten base hits. Any time you can score seven runs when […]
After a glacially slow winter and a spring that flew by, Opening Day is here! The Yankees begin their quest for No. 28 after the 2025 season ended in disappointing fashion, getting rolled by the Blue Jays in four games in the ALDS. The Giants meanwhile are hoping to get back to the postseason after […]
After a long winter, the snow has at last thawed. Spring is here, and more importantly, so is baseball. Tonight, the Yankees and the Giants will kick off the 2026 regular season with an opening night prime-time matchup at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Now, we’ve got lineups: Leading off is center fielder Trent Grisham, […]
It’s a crowded outfield, but Aaron Judge has made the Opening Day roster. While that may have been an easy decision, filling out the pitching staff was not, as the team elected to start the year with a four-man rotation. Offdays tomorrow and Sunday mean the club optioned Luis Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and roll […]
The hot stove often overshadows changes made to coaching staffs, unless a team is searching for a new manager. The Yankees, of course, were not looking for a new skipper this offseason, but they did make a few changes to ensure the coaching staff was not fully the “run it back” version of last year’s […]
It’s so nice to finally say this: The New York Yankees will officially open the 2026 Major League Baseball season tonight in San Francisco against the Giants, so the spotlight is all on Aaron Judge, Max Fried, and company for the evening. The Opening Day roster is set, the i’s are dotted, the t’s are […]
While it is certainly common for players to play for multiple franchises in their career, more often than not, they are generally associated with one team. In the case of today’s birthday boy, that association is not with the Yankees. Lee Mazzili played 14 seasons in the majors, less than one of which came with […]
After a long offseason, the wait is finally over. Opening Day has officially arrived on the calendar, and the New York Yankees are going to be one of the two teams marking the start of the 2026 Major League Baseball season. As the only game of the day—well, evening—the eyes of every baseball fan will […]
Finally. It’s been 168 days since the New York Yankees’ 2025 campaign ended in Division Series disappointment at the hands of the eventual AL champion Toronto Blue Jays. That was a big ol’ bummer, but it’s ancient history now. The 2026 MLB season begins tonight with the Yankees and San Francisco Giants kicking off the […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: By all accounts, the AL East is going to be a dogfight yet again. The Yankees bring a lot of talent to that fight, with two-time defending MVP Aaron Judge and a top of the pitching rotation that rivals anyone in baseball. There are still real questions with […]
Spring training is over! The Yankees wrapped up the exhibition portion of their season with a big win over the Cubs down in Arizona — 8-3 is your final. Let’s talk about it so we can turn our attention to the stuff that will matter in pursuit of #28. Gerrit Cole had a power pitcher’s […]
There’s very “last day of school” vibes around today, with the final spring exhibition before Opening Day tomorrow, wrapping up this two-game set with the Cubs from Arizona. After a one-inning, 10-pitch spring debut last week, Gerrit Cole will get the ball ahead of a likely rehab assignment to try and tune up for a […]
Speaking to reporters ahead of the Yankees’ final spring training game, Aaron Boone confirmed the team’s plans for their Opening Day roster. Luis Gil will be optioned to the minors, while relievers Jake Bird and Brent Headrick will take the last spots on the team. Peter wrote a little while ago about Rule 5 pick […]
With a little more than 24 hours before first pitch of Opening Day, the Yankees are putting the final touches on their active roster. The latest move saw the team select the contract of right-handed reliever Cade Winquest to the big-league roster; Jon Heyman was the first to report the news. The Yankees selected Winquest […]
On Sunday, the New York Daily News’ Gary Phillips wrote a story about ascendent Yankees pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange which gave me pause when I read the headline. Specifically, the story was about Lagrange’s partnership with a start-up company called Finlete. Finlete is a platform of sorts which allows fans to essentially treat players like […]
The past 15-20 years of the San Francisco Giants’ existence has been a wild ride. The highs have obviously been quite high, with their three World Series titles in 2010, ‘12, and ‘14. While that run would often get a team a “dynasty” designation, it was hard to do that with the Giants, considering they […]
Baseball history is full of great players. It is also full of players whose stories become intertwined with legends so large that they never quite stand on their own. Ernie Shore just happens to be one of those players. The former Yankee celebrates his birthday today, and while his career deserves recognition on its own, […]
The long night of the offseason is approaching its conclusion! Pitchers and catchers report to the Tampa spring training complex in nine days as of the time that this post goes up, and we’ll have exhibition games beginning on February 20th against the Orioles. Opening Day in San Francisco is just over a month after […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. It’s crazy how time flies. I can remember pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training […]
Heading into the spring, Jasson Domínguez was the consensus pick for the Yankees’ fourth outfielder spot, as the former top prospect, now headed into his sophomore season, would be the team’s number one option in the event one of Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, Giancarlo Stanton, or — baseball gods forbid — Aaron Judge had to […]
I’ve written a couple posts in spring training about the ABS challenge system and how teams are going to react to it. It seems like an element tailor-built for the Yankees; the team preaches control over the strike zone at the plate and was the first to really lean into pitch-framing almost two decades ago. […]
