Yankees Birthday of the Day: Joe Girardi
As things stand right now, Joe Girardi is the answer to a trivia question that haunts millions of Yankees fans… “who is the manager of the last World Series-winning Yankees team?” I doubt any of us old enough to remember the ’09 team could have imagined this eventuality in our wildest nightmares. For Girardi’s part, […]
2026 Yankees Team MVP: Cam Schlittler
We close a bit of a circle with this post, as I was fortunate to write Cam Schlittler’s season preview post all the way back in March. This was how good(ish) FanGraphs thought he would be: Of course Cam ended the year with a 1.95 ERA, 2.56 FIP, 31 percent strikeout rate, 6.4 percent walk […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: Rays strike back, even ALCS at 1
The American League was the only game in town on Tuesday after the Brewers raced ahead to a 2-0 start in the NLCS, the Guardians and Rays playing out Game 2 of their series with all the spotlights on them. The result was an even split of the first two games in Tampa, the series […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 10/14/26
We’re through two games in both the ALCS and NLCS, and the games have all been pretty riveting, if you’ve had the stomach to watch them with the Yankees long since eliminated. The Rays capitalized on some uncharacteristic sloppy play from Jose Ramirez to tie the ALCS at a game apiece last night, while the […]
Yankees news: Previewing the free agent class
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): The Yankees have ten men that will be free agents after the World Series, including one of the starting infielders and the established closer. They also face a winter of deep labor uncertainty, potential changes to compensation as underlined by a new CBA, and a possibility of lower revenue […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Charlie Silvera
As far as non-stressful jobs in sports go, backup catcher to an established star would be a pretty good one to have. For nine years in New York, Charlie Silvera got to fill that role, and not just behind any old star — he was the backup to Yankees icon Yogi Berra. For his career […]
The five best moments of the 2026 Yankees’ season
The wounds of a devastating sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays are still fresh for the Yankees, as they come to terms with another disappointing end to a season this week. As we begin what’s likely going to be a long and dreadfully boring offseason with the impending lockout, it’s time to […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: Brewers go up 2-0, Guardians strike first
While it still hurts that the Yankees aren’t out there playing, you better soak the rest of the playoffs in. We only have, at most, three more days with more than one game, and we’re only guaranteed one more. Before you know it, we have only the World Series and then the long, cold winter […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 10/13/26
We got double-LCS action on Monday and both games delivered, the Dodgers and Brewers exchanging haymakers before Milwaukee walked away with a 2-0 series lead and the Guardians pouring it on late against the Rays to take Game 1 on the road. The NL teams will take a break as the series shifts over to […]
Yankees news: Free agency could destroy New York’s bullpen
Roundtable | Matthew Schmidt: The Yankees entered the year with many question marks on their bullpen, yet they managed to post the second-best relief pitching ERA in the majors after the Boston Red Sox. However, there could be a massive exodus in free agency: closer David Bednar, Tim Hill, John Schreiber, Ryan Yarbrough, and Paul […]
Former MLB legend shares perspective on potential lockout
Now that we’re in the offseason, it’s time to shift our focus to a possible event on the horizon that may be even more daunting than the MLB postseason. The collective bargaining agreement between the league and the MLB Players Association expires on December 1st, and if the two sides don’t reach an agreement by […]
2026 ALCS Preview: Tampa Bay Rays vs. Cleveland Guardians
On the evening of October 5th, the White Sox were riding high. After enduring three consecutive 1oo-loss seasons, their revamped roster had won their first four playoff games, sweeping the Astros in the Wild Card round and taking the first two from their division rivals in Cleveland. With just one more win in the next […]
Yankees fans can embrace underdogs in the remaining playoff field
Accustomed to the role of the favorites throughout their history, the Yankees were not favored against Tampa Bay in the ALDS and indeed bounced out early from the 2026 postseason, leaving the Rays, Guardians, Dodgers, and Brewers as the four clubs still battling for a championship. Finding a rooting interest after your team is eliminated […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tony Kubek
A great defensive shortstop with solid bat-to-ball skills and a knack for reaching (and winning) World Series, Tony Kubek played in one of the best and most prolific eras in franchise history and shared the same clubhouse as some of the most relevant historical figures in the game. That wasn’t the end of his story […]
The five worst moments of the 2026 Yankees’ season
It’s not yet mid-October, but the Yankees have already been dismissed from contention for the 2026 World Series trophy after being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series. We can try to find explanations and think about what could have been, but the reality is that there’s a long winter […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: First blood to Milwaukee
I turned to my brother Sunday morning when I remembered to look at the pitching matchup for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. There it was: Tarik Skubal vs Jacob Misiorowski. A two-time Cy Young Award winning southpaw facing the pre-eminent flamethrower in perhaps the history of baseball who’s also the presumptive 2026 […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 10/12/26
The beginning of the new work meek also lines up with one of the last times this year that we’ll see multiple MLB games on the same day. After the Brewers eked out a 2-1 win over the Dodgers in the NLCS opener last night, they’ll play Game 2 late this afternoon while the Rays […]
Yankees news: Turning to the offseason
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: We’d all like to forget the ALDS ever happened. However, as is often the case in life, the lowest points contain the best lessons. Phillips opines that the Yankees’ personnel choices and performances in Game 3 should inform their offseason decisions about Jazz Chisholm Jr., Ryan McMahon, and […]
2026 NLCS Preview: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers
It felt inevitable even in the early stages of the season that the two best teams in MLB would be on a collision course for a seismic encounter in the NLCS. The Brewers and Dodgers were the only two teams to finish with at least 100 wins, and by the time both teams jumped out […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Curtains
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! Last week, we had a lot of fun in this space, as the Yankees sent the Boston Red Sox home with two dominant wins that unleashed a fury of social media fun. This week? Well, truly, […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Orlando Hernández
Over 40 years after fans of the “Boys of Summer” Brooklyn Dodgers sung the praises of Edwin Snider, another Duke took center stage in New York. This time, it was in the Bronx as one of the most celebrated Cuban players to take the field for his home country set his eyes on Yankee Stadium. […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: Guardians complete comeback, advance to ALCS against Rays
As someone with very fond memories of the Yankees winning fierce, neck-and-neck Division Series battles with Oakland, Cleveland, and Baltimore over the years, I’ve always enjoyed a tense Game 5. One team advances to fight for the pennant while the other goes home with those hopes dashed. I don’t think many neutral observers would pick […]
The Yankees All-September Birthday Team
Several months back, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 10/11/26
We have our LCS matchups, and though we already knew this, they do not involve the Yankees. The Dodgers and Brewers will square off in the NLCS for a second-straight year, and after erasing an 0-2 deficit in the ALDS, the Guardians advance to the ALCS for a second time in three years, where they’ll […]
Yankees news: Questions loom for the Yankees and Stanton
MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: With the Yankees crashing out in the ALDS again, there’s plenty of speculation about what moves the team could make to try and take the next steps. Some of that speculation is going to come around the future of Giancarlo Stanton. While even at the best of times, Stanton […]
