Yankees arbitration tracker: Bombers settle all arbitration cases

Today marks the deadline for MLB teams to come to agreements with their arb-eligible players before a hearing is scheduled in the arbitration process. Over the course of today, many players, who are in the team control portion of their careers and haven’t yet hit free agency, will come to agreements with clubs on what […]

50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Orlando Hernández

When signing a talent from a foreign league, you don’t necessarily know what to expect. You can do all the in-person scouting and do all the statistical breakdowns you want, sometimes the jump in talent from another country to the majors ends up being too much to overcome. In cases like Hideki Matsui, he was […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Jason Giambi

There have been six players in the long history of the Yankees to be born on January 8th. Of them, there’ve been two career minor leaguers who made brief, one-year appearances (Breyvic Valera, Kevin Whelan), a World Series champion reliever (Brian Boehringer), a veteran starter who threw a total of 1.2 innings in pinstripes (Jeff […]

The Yankees are running out of rotation options for the 2026 season

The New York Yankees could be in some trouble when the 2026 season rolls around. After the Chicago Cubs acquired 27-year-old Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera in a trade for top outfield prospect Owen Caissie, infielder Christian Hernandez and third baseman Edgardo De Leon, another rotation option was promptly taken off the market. And while […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/8/26

The carousel of who the Yankees are vaguely interested in keeps spinning, as word broke yesterday that Edward Cabrera was going to Chicago in a deal with the Cubs — not only that, but apparently the Yankees were never seriously involved in talks with Miami for his services. Sure! Why not. Well, eventually they’ll do […]

Yankees news: Cubs, not Yanks, land Edward Cabrera

FanGraphs | Michael Baumann: By now you know that the Chicago Cubs traded for righty Edward Cabrera yesterday, after a couple of days where it had sounded like the Yankees had the inside track. Cabrera is far from a finished piece, but shows tremendous amounts of potential and two stellar secondary offerings. He’s just the […]

Yankees Potential Trade Target: Nico Hoerner

The Yankees are currently deep in the throes of a very slow and quiet offseason, one that has seen the team’s largest external addition be… Cade Winquest? That shouldn’t remain the case for much longer, or at least we hope. The current buzz around the team pertains to their pursuit of an established starting pitcher […]

50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Hideki Irabu

Hideki Irabu occupies a complicated and painful place in Yankees and baseball history. While Irabu was a terrific star pitcher in his home country and was one of the pioneers in the first wave of players coming from Japan to play in the Major Leagues, his legacy is not one of success and triumph. Irabu […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Alfonso Soriano

As we continue our daily birthday series, January 7th brings me an opportunity to take a look at a personal favorite Yankee of mine, but also one that was vital to the Yankees over the past quarter-century in a number of ways. Alfonso Soriano, coming in at the tail end of the steroid-era sluggers, somewhat […]

How far up the all-time strikeout list can Giancarlo Stanton reach?

Reggie Jackson, Jim Thome, Adam Dunn, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez, and Miguel Cabrera. That’s a list of two Hall of Famers, another who will get in, two that have the resume for induction, and Adam Dunn who was a much better player than the popular narrative seems to be about him. It’s a list of […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/7/26

We’re inching closer to “counting down the days to the start of spring training” territory, but we’re not quite there yet. We’ve still got to maintain this holding pattern we’ve been in for what feels like eternity, the Yankees’ Groundhog Day of an offseason ticking by day by day. Any one of these days could […]

Yankees news: Oh Captain, my Captain

MLB | Bryan Hoch: He’s not just the Captain of the most storied franchise in the history of Major League Baseball. He’s also the Captain of Team USA as the red, white, and blue get ready for the World Baseball Classic. And though that will require Aaron Judge’s absence from the Yankees in March, skipper […]

50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: David Wells

In the long lineage of beloved Yankees, the predominant image is of the stoic, poised figure who excelled under New York’s bright lights and handled the media like a professional. Joe DiMaggio. Derek Jeter. Aaron Judge. But there is also a storied history bubbling under the surface of fan favorites who won over the Bronx […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Don Gullett

By virtue of his own talent and the talented teams he played on, Don Gullett was anointed as a future Hall of Famer by those around him in the early stages of his career. He racked up over 90 wins by the time he turned 25 and found himself compared to Sandy Koufax. Starting with […]

State of the Yankees’ System: First Base

First base had been something of a revolving door in the Bronx for years, dating all the way back to the departure of Mark Teixeira in 2016. The switch-hitting slugger provided years of All-Star level production at one of the game’s most important positions, but the Yankees were unable to find an immediate successor after […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/6/26

The offseason continues to roll on, and stop me if you’ve heard this before but we’re still waiting for some real smoke to develop. At the very least, we know that Brian Cashman and company are still interested in upgrading the pitching staff as they’ve been connected to a couple of trade targets recently, but […]

Yankees news: Cashman pursues Cabrera and Peralta

The Athletic | Ken Rosenthal & Will Sammon: ($) In a roundup of where many clubs stand as the offseason moves into January, Rosenthal and Sammon report that the Yankees are focused on adding a starter via the trade market. GM Brian Cashman has talked with the Marlins about Edward Cabrera and the Brewers about […]

Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request

It’s a new year, but the Yankees still resemble their same old selves with minimal moves made thus far in the offseason. That may finally be changing, as there’s noise of a potential deal for Miami’s Edward Cabrera in the works, but for now we’ll have to wait and see if that gets completed. Even […]

50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Kenny Rogers

The 1995-1996 offseason saw the Yankees and Orioles in an arms race — quite literally. The two teams, who had finished second and third in the AL East, respectively, had competed hard for David Cone, who ultimately opted to re-sign with the Bombers four days before Christmas. The Orioles then swung a trade with the […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Art Fletcher

Art Fletcher had a long and distinguished major league career that spanned 14 years, racking up over 47 bWAR at shortstop in the process. But that is not enough to get Fletcher a feature in our Yankee Birthday series, considering none of those games involved him in pinstripes. It’s his post-playing days that get him […]

Yankees Potential Trade Target: Edward Cabrera

It took until the New Year, but we finally have our first real smoke emanating from the previously dormant Yankees hot stove. On Sunday, multiple outlets reported that the Yankees and Marlins were engaged in serious talks surrounding starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. It’s far from the first time that the Yankees have had rumored interest […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/5/26

Are we about to see a key domino drop in the Yankees’ offseason? Brian Cashman has stated publicly that he wants to add a starter, and though they’ve been quiet on that front in the free agent market, it sounds like they could be making progress on the trade market. Yesterday’s reporting had the Yankees […]

Yankees news: All-in on Marlins’ Edward Cabrera trade rumors

New York Post | Mark Suleymanov: Most of the day Sunday was spent with increasing amounts of smoke swirling out of the Yankees’ and Marlins’ media beats, as a potential trade for right-hander Edward Cabrera appeared to be under consideration. Cabrera will turn 28 in April 2026, with three more years of team control, and […]
