Paul Blackburn is giving the Yankees exactly what they need
Paul Blackburn had posted a 5.28 ERA in 15.1 innings with the Yankees in 2025. The team, however, saw something in him, something that persuaded them to keep him around despite that ugly number. Then, 2026 came around. The right-hander alternated good and bad outings, but even at his worst, the Yankees were patient. And […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Paul Blackburn (7/12)
The Yankees starred in one of the most drab All-Star Games in recent memory, Cody Bellinger picking up MVP honors for his two-run single in the first while Ben Rice also drove in a run. It means we are just a day away from the second half kicking off, the Yankees starting a pivotal stretch […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tom Metcalf
Not every player that makes the major league is going to become a Hall of Famer. Not every player that makes it is going to be an All-Star. Not every player that makes it will even have a semi-long career. There are plenty of guys who have a brief cup of coffee and then never […]
Yankees potential trade target: Ryan Jeffers
Rarely at MLB’s trade deadline does a single, obvious player-team match take hold. Any player with substantial value who’s on the market tends to garner interest from across the league, making their landing place a mystery until the 11th hour. But when you cross-reference a thin market at catcher with a small number of teams […]
How will the Yankees open up their second half?
The All-Star break giving us a four-day reprieve before kicking off the unofficial second half of the season is always a good time for reflection, as many front offices are surely doing with their rosters in the weeks remaining before the trade deadline. A lot can still happen to change up what the Yankees are […]
Yankees news: Bombers close to securing $3B financing deal
Bloomberg | Silas Brown and Randall Williams: The Yankees are reportedly moving closer to raising $3 billion of financing from Apollo Global Management, Inc. The package is mostly comprised of debt and equity. Per the NY Post, the fresh capital is expected to be used ‘to refinance existing obligations and fund future expansion projects.’ ESPN […]
Yankees prospect Tyler Hardman wins honor for big series in Buffalo
With the help of Tyler Hardman’s bat, the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders rode some momentum into the All-Star break. The RailRiders took four of six games in a series at Sahlen Field in New York against the Buffalo Bisons, top affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. Hardman led the way, batting .500 (12-for-24) in the six […]
Where does the Yankees’ organizational depth stand after the 2026 MLB Draft?
Every year, after the coffers are refilled through the draft, it is a good time to take a look at where the organization’s depth stands. Over the last few seasons, the Yankees have promoted several of their top prospects and used their farm system depth to acquire pieces at the Trade Deadline. Coming into this […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bubbles Hargrave
While there still are some good ones around, they don’t make nicknames quite like they used to. Some of the greatest players in history had great ones, like “The Sultan of Swat,” “The Georgia Peach,” or “The Say Hey Kid.” However, even lesser known players had pretty good ones. For instance, one solid big leaguer […]
Yankees potential trade target: Tarik Skubal
The New York Yankees currently sit among the best teams in the American League and Major League Baseball. However, they aren’t perfect, and, most importantly, they’re not without their own health issues. While Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice, and Cam Schlittler represent the team in Philadelphia at the All-Star festivities (plus Aaron Judge in absentia), the […]
The Yankees’ five biggest hits of the first half
The 2026 All-Star break is upon us, and while a handful of Yankees have enjoyed the festivities in Philadelphia this week, now is a good time to look back on a first half gone by. Through 96 games this season, New York sits three games out of first place in the AL East, and although […]

A midseason Yankees pulse check
Good morning all, and happy “Cody Bellinger is an All-Star Game MVP” Day! Okay yes, it’s not really that big of a deal. Last night’s Midsummer Classic was kind of a grueling watch for even the most ardent of baseball fans, due in large part to bizarre production decisions by Fox Sports but also some […]
Yankees news: The top Trade Deadline targets
New York Post | Jon Heyman ($): While rumors will still swirl around landing Tarik Skubal, the Yankees seem to be prioritizing high-end relief help and a new catcher at the Trade Deadline. Heyman tells us that the Padres’ Mason Miller and Minnesota backstop Ryan Jeffers will be the club’s two biggest targets as we […]
Yankees’ Cody Bellinger wins All-Star Game MVP, sparks first-inning rally in AL win
The 2026 MLB All-Star Game will not go down in history as one of the most memorable Midsummer Classics in the near-century-long history of the event. Highlights on the field were few and far between, broadcast debacles and poorly-executed ideas compromised the viewing experience, and several distracting pieces of vaguely baseball-themed pageantry bloated the presentation […]
2026 MLB All-Star Game: Dylan Cease vs. Cristopher Sánchez
This week’s All-Star Week festivities got off to a bombastic start on Monday night at Citizens Bank Park, with outstanding performances from established sluggers and burgeoning stars alike in the Home Run Derby. The spectacle of Jordan Walker silencing a partisan Philadelphia crowd with six consecutive bombs to snatch the title from Kyle Schwarber will […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ryan McMahon (7/9)
The Yankees are riding high into the All-Star break on the back of a three-game sweep of the Nationals, overcoming a deficit in the eighth inning or later in all three games for the first time since they were the Highlanders sweeping the Cleveland Naps in 1910. However, we have to go back a game […]

The Yankees jumped on prime talent in the 2026 MLB Draft
As the 2026 MLB Draft played out, several early surprises created a scenario where it seemed like a wealth of position playing talent was going to still be on the board for the Yankees to choose from. Bo Lowrance, Daniel Jackson, and Cole Prosek were three names that had traction with Yankees fans online. With […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Johnny Murphy
A New York-born boy who grew up to play for the Yankees. The dream! That is exactly the story of Johnny Murphy. The story and legend of Johnny Murphy and New York baseball are as intertwined as those of just about anyone in baseball history. John Joseph MurphyBorn: July 14, 1908 (New York, NY)Died: January […]
Yankees prospects: Week 16 minor league recap
We’re reaching an inflection point in the minor league calendar. None of the four full-season affiliates is going to play until Friday in a pseudo All-Star Break (remember when the minors used to have All-Star games?). The trade deadline is 2.5 weeks away. It won’t be long until several of these names are in different […]

Was the first half of the season a success for the Yankees?
The MLB All-Star Game is here, and we’ll get to see the brightest stars in the league square off with each other tonight. The game marks the (approximate) mid point of the MLB season, which makes it as good a time as ever to reflect on where we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re […]
Yankees news: Top MLB draft pick Hunter Dietz signs
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees have wasted no time getting to business after the draft as Hunter Dietz, their top selection in the draft, quickly signed his deal. Dietz, a left-handed pitcher out of Arkansas, will make his way to the player development complex in Tampa, though it remains to be seen whether or […]
Ben Rice out first in 2026 Home Run Derby
The 2026 Home Run Derby looks to be a thrilling competition with a revamped set of rules, but the Yankees won’t have much to root for outside of rooting against their division rival representatives after a disappointing first round. Their candidate to go the distance, Ben Rice, was eliminated in the first round after a […]
