Say what you will about the Yankees’ organization, but once you’re considered part of the “True Yankee” family, they’ll generally always roll out the red carpet for you. Say what you will about his decision making and player evaluation capabilities, but George Steinbrenner was always willing to splash the cash to help the Yankees win, […]

Happy Boxing Day to all those celebrating, as the holidays start to wrap up and the new year approaches.

New York Post | Jon Heyman: ($) Yes, for Christmas, it’s another Cody Bellinger Market update. Heyman reports that the Yankees are feeling “confident” about their chances of re-signing the outfielder, and that they don’t sense that he’ll defect across town like Juan Soto did just one year ago. Heyman also notes that Aaron Judge […]

NY Post | Matt Ehalt: The Yankees have had their top priorities set for a while, but they’re still out there waiting to find a new team. In case things don’t end up falling their way and they need to pivot midway through the offseason, a Plan B has to be in place. For the […]

It doesn’t take a Nobel Prize to be able to deduce that the MLB offseason has the slowest and most brutal pace in all of professional sports. The NBA and NHL have their drafts take place in late June after the conclusion of the postseason, and free agency begins on July 1st. It takes under […]

As we continue to roll through this “50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings” series, the majority of the signings we cover are positive, or at least have something positive to add to Yankees history. “Notable,” however, is not an inherently positive descriptor, made clear by our inclusion of Ed Whitson in this series. A […]

On Monday night, the Seattle Mariners announced that they had signed outfielder Rob Refsnyder to a one-year, $6.25 million contract, for what will be the 11th season of his big-league career. As a former Yankees farmhand, Refsnyder remains a familiar name to a certain generation of Yankee fans. He struggled during the early part of […]

The date is December 24th. Unless you are the world’s biggest Cade Winquest fan (and bless you if you are), the Yankees have yet to bring in any no-doubt major leaguers. That’s a choice! There is time to remedy this but … yeah. Enjoy your Christmas Eves, anyway. Today on the site, Nolan will use […]

Sports Illustrated | Delilah Bourque: The Yankees were provided a glimmer of hope in a potential pursuit of starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai. Voices around the industry have singled out the Yankees and Cubs as the likeliest landing spots for the NPB star, and sources recently relayed that Chicago is not one of his preferred landing […]

When you think of the MLB owners who deserve the moniker of Scrooge, Bob Nutting and Bruce Sherman tend to be the first names that come to mind. However, when you combine a miserly attitude toward payroll spending with antagonistic public comments, there are few families who ruin Christmas more for their fans than the […]

The 1983 New York Yankees finished third in the American League East. Their 91-71 record wasn’t good enough to make the postseason for the second year in a row, but it wasn’t as though they were a team to scoff at, and some improvements could get them back in the hunt. After that season, a […]

Christmas is coming, and while the goose continues to get fat, the Yankees are submitting their final wishes. Among those wishes is likely for some security in the starting rotation to begin the 2026 season. As we’ve mentioned before, the Yankees could have a potentially great group of starters, but with Gerrit Cole and Carlos […]

Happy Festivus, everybody! I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. Now, you’re gonna hear about it! No, I don’t mean you, dear readers. I’m obviously referring to the Yankees! Every fan who follows their team with any degree of regularity will start to have that team get on their nerves in a variety […]

Just two days from Christmas, today’s the last day MLB execs can make moves without infringing on their own (and our) holidays. It’s likely to be a slow week in what’s felt like a slow offseason, though I think this makes it a good time to reflect on what’s actually happened. Even if things seem […]

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Over the past two seasons and playoff runs, the reliability of the Yankees’ bullpen has been one of the major questions plaguing the team. The organization has been decent at being able to squeeze good innings out of the likes of Ian Hamilton and Tim Hill at points, but it’s […]

The offseason hasn’t quite moved at a snail’s pace, but for the Yankees it might as well have. Leaks have either been all but nonexistent from the front office this year, or there simply hasn’t been anything for them to leak out to the public. The outfield conundrum remains undecided, with Cody Bellinger and Kyle […]

In the late 1970s, George Steinbrenner’s ways of spending big and throwing things at the wall to see what sticks worked out to the tune of two World Series championships and another AL pennant. That probably emboldened him to do even more of that in the 1980s, and that… did not work out as well. […]

Here’s the thing about human beings: we’re pretty good at asking for what we need, and finding alternatives when we can’t get it. In the early-to-mid-90s, thousands of men begged governments for access to AZT drugs, the only thing that could save their lives as HIV/AIDS wiped out a generation. Many of these men turned […]

The division saw another sizeable move occur, as Boston jumped back into the mix with another trade with St. Louis — this time going for Willson Contreras to play first base for them. They gave up a few pieces, including pitcher Hunter Dobbins as the headliner, so he won’t have to worry about antagonizing Yankees […]

MLB.com | Mark Feinsand: By now you’ve likely heard that NPB superstar Munetaka Murakami signed a two-year, $34 million deal with the White Sox yesterday. It was somewhat of a surprise both in terms of the deal size and the team, although no real rumors had swirled around Murakami in his entire posting process. I […]

If you have any interest in the history of baseball and the Yankees, you’ve probably wondered what the best Yankees team of all-time might be. However, unless someone invents a real time machine anytime soon, there’s no real way to figure that out. Even then, just dropping the 1927 Yankees into 1998 for a series […]

I am typing this just before midnight and cackling a bit. This is already in our overnight news, but apparently the Yankees just re-signed Paul Blackburn. Jon Heyman reported this. The beat writer life ain’t glamorous when your job compels you to break such minor news quite late on a Saturday night. It’s a major-league […]
