The Athletic | Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon, Katie Woo, & Patrick Mooney ($): Kyle Tucker doesn’t have quite the allure of Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge, but he’s the top free agent in this year’s class and will land himself a healthy contract. Just who ends up signing him is an open question, […]
The offseason is in full swing, and the process of retooling the Yankees’ roster has begun. The team has picked up their option on left-handed reliever Tim Hill, extended a qualifying offer to outfielder Trent Grisham, and will soon have to make some 40-man roster decisions with the Rule 5 Draft coming up on the […]
Everything is connected in roster construction, such as the establishment of Austin Wells as a full-time starter in 2024, which resulted in the Yankees feeling comfortable enough to deal their veteran catcher, José Trevino, for some bullpen help. This is how New York ended up acquiring Fernando Cruz and his deadly splitter from the Cincinnati […]
Where have we heard this before? An elite hitting outfielder is traded to a new team a year before he is expected to get a giant payday, and then hits the open market the following fall. Like Juan Soto in November 2024, Kyle Tucker is reaching the open market after spending his contract year in […]
Just about everything related to the 2025 Major League Baseball season is done and dusted, but this week will truly wrap it up. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America voted on the awards at the end of the regular season, and now, the league will reveal the winners. The Rookies of the Year for each […]
ESPN | Jeff Passan: Cleveland Guardians relievers Emmanuel Clase and Luis L. Ortiz were indicted by the US Department of Justice over the weekend, formally charged with fraud and conspiracy. The indictments come after an investigation into unusual betting patterns centered around pitch-by-pitch side bets, and the government is accusing both relievers of deliberately throwing […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. On November 3rd, the National Baseball Hall of Fame revealed the eight players who would […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! We’re now more than two full weeks out from the end of the season, which means that the hot stove is starting to ever so slowly warm up. How have the New York Yankees been spending their vacation time? […]
The slow march through the start of the offseason continues, with the next few days dedicated to waiting on players to decide if they’re going to accept the qualifying offer or not. Once that’s through, we’ll have our full official roster for free agency, and then the speculating and rumors can commence full-steam. The Yankees […]
New York Post | Dylan Svoboda: The bookmakers have set their odds on Bo Bichette’s next team and surprisingly the Yankees are in the mix with the third-best odds. He would certainly represent an upgrade over their incumbent at the position, however Brian Cashman was firm in his commitment to Anthony Volpe as the starting […]
After a promising first year in pinstripes way back in 2018, Giancarlo Stanton’s tenure as a Yankee hasn’t been the smoothest ride. It got to the point that with several years left on his deal, his contract started being considered a burden much earlier than expected. While the merits of the deal from a long-term […]
It’s the first weekend of the offseason, now officially a week past the end of the World Series. The world moves fast, and just as the champagne was drying and we were all catching our collective breath after Game 7 between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, the offseason began in earnest. Thirteen players were tendered […]
LIDOM | Alexander Gómez: The Dominican Winter League is underway, and the Leones del Escogido appear to be getting a boost to their roster soon. Jasson Domínguez is expected to join the team, though he hasn’t reported just yet, and the team’s general manager Carlos Peña is ready to let him loose in the lineup, […]
It’s OK to celebrate the little things. The Yankees boasted the best offense in baseball for the 2025 regular season, and on Friday night, that success was saluted. Four Yankees were nominated as Silver Slugger finalists, as well as the team as a whole. New York won the team-wide honor as AL Offensive Team of […]
Throughout his first full campaign in pinstripes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. built on the success he enjoyed with the Yankees after his midseason arrival from the Marlins in 2024. The 2025 season saw the flashy infielder finally settle back into his natural second base position, represent the Bombers in the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby, […]
Happy Friday, everyone. It’s a fairly straightforward day on the site! Barring any breaking news, our primary piece will see Jeremy grading Jazz Chisholm Jr.‘s 30/30 campaign for our Report Cards series. It also reminded me that the Yankees insisted on dragging out the withered husk of DJ LeMahieu for far too long in 2025, […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The big news yesterday was the Yankees tendering a qualifying offer to Trent Grisham (check here for an explanation of the QO system). Grisham now has until November 18th to decide whether to accept the offer, which comes in at about $22 million for the 2026 season. It […]
The first domino in the Yankee offseason has fallen. Trent Grisham, he of the shocking 34-home run season, has been extended the $22.025 million qualifying offer from the club per Jeff Passan, and will now have to decide between taking that one-year contract or testing himself in free agency. Should he chose the latter, the […]
To be honest, there’s probably not going to be a ton to say about Oswaldo Cabrera’s 2025 season with the Yankees. While he did appear in over 30 games, not a ton notable happened to him, until something very unfortunately notable happened. It’s always been very easy to root for Oswaldo with his affable demeanor, […]
With the offseason officially under way, it is now the time of the year to speculate, and to consider how and by what means the Yankees might improve their roster headed into 2026. While there was plenty of good to take from the ‘25 campaign, there is just as much that can be done to […]
A couple of small news stories came across the wire in Yankees-land yesterday, the club picking up their option on Tim Hill while decline their option on Jonathan Loáisiga. This was mostly expected, but it was still noteworthy to see them officially cut ties with Loáisiga, at least for now. The righty would’ve earned $5 […]
The Athletic | Jim Bowden: (subscription required) Every year, the early days of November bring out a veritable deluge of offseason breakdowns and predictions. Yesterday, former MLB general manager Jim Bowden released his annual “needs and goals” for all 30 Major League teams. While much of the media attention has focused on the Yankees’ opening […]
As we sit here in early November with the last vestige of the 2025 Major League Baseball season still fresh in our minds, it’s somewhat hard to believe that in under 100 days, pitchers and catchers will report to Florida and Arizona for the beginning of 2026 spring training. The MLB season is indeed long, […]
Mentions of José Caballero as a player often get tagged with “someone you love to play with and hate to play against.” He’s a bit of a pest in that he’s fast on the basepaths, leading MLB in stolen bases in 2025. He’s also versatile and can play several different positions in the field. He’s […]
The week after the World Series ends is typically a sort of transaction limbo, as while big names like Kyle Tucker and Framber Valdez are granted free agency upon the end of the season, teams have to wait five days before being able to sign anyone (aside from minor moves). This is generally option season, […]
