It is now January 5th, 2026, and there is finally some Yankees offseason news. I don’t even know if news is the right word for this. Some rumors are finally starting with the Yankees. It has been reported that the Yankees are talking to the Miami Marlins about starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. Looks like ifContinue reading “Yankees Offseason Alarm Clock Finally Goes Off?”

It is time for all Yankee fans to appreciate the greatness of our ace Gerrit Cole. When Cole came over from the Astros in 2019, it felt like the Yankees had their first workhorse ace since CC Sabathia. No disrespect to Masahiro Tanaka who was a great Yankee and an all-time postseason pitcher. Gerrit ColeContinue reading “Yankee fans need to appreciate Gerrit Cole”

I am writing this on February 3, 2023 when Aaron Hicks & Josh Donaldson are still on the Yankees roster. Now I know the Yankees made some big time moves early in the offseason, re-signing Aaron Judge to a huge deal and getting another ace in Carlos Rodon. But again…. Aaron Hicks and Josh DonaldsonContinue reading “Brian Cashman….are you awake?”

Star right fielder and league MVP Aaron Judge has re-signed with the New York Yankees for a massive 9yr/$360-million-dollar contract that will make him a Yankee for life. There was a lot of nervous Yankee fans including myself last night when Jon Heyman reported that Judge was signing with the Giants. He quickly realized hisContinue reading “Aaron Judge is Back!”

This article is probably a waste of time since nothing will change in the Yankees organization this offseason, but some of us can dream. The Yankees need a complete overhaul of the organization this offseason. This is what should be done, starting from the top: Sell the team: Now I admit, there is a 0%Continue reading “Where do the New York Yankees go from here?”

The New York Yankees, a once proud, winning franchise had their season end once again at the hands of the Houston Astros in the ALCS. Swept. 4-0. The New York Yankees couldn’t win a single game. It seems like déjà vu every year for the Yankees. Win enough games to get to the playoffs. BeContinue reading “Yankees swept by Astros in ALCS”

The New York Yankees took a 1-0 series lead against the Guardians in the ALDS last night. The win was fueled by timely home runs and a solid start from Gerrit Cole. In a series where the Yankees are huge favorites, there was worry they would come out flat like other teams who had aContinue reading “ALDS Game 1 Recap: Yanks take a 1-0 series lead over the Guardians”

Now I am a very pessimistic Yankees fan, so I am not implying that they will be AL East champs, but it would be very difficult for them not to make the playoffs at all. That being said, I am interested in how the playoff roster/lineup will look like come October. I don’t have muchContinue reading “Ideal Yankees Playoff Roster/Lineup”

The first half of the Subway Series ended yesterday with the Mets taking a mini sweep of the Yanks. The Yankees failed to capitalize with runners in scoring position and the Mets outright looked like the better team. It’s always fun to watch the rivalry between two teams who only meet four times a year.Continue reading “The Metskees? The Yets? Envisioning a Yankees & Mets combined Baseball team”

Joey Gallo was supposed to be a great trade acquisition last year. He was a big lefty power bat with a swing tailor-made for Yankee stadium. The Yankees thought he’d be the perfect player to slot between Judge and Stanton in the lineup. Fast forward to this season and Joey Gallo statistically is the worstContinue reading “Joey Gallo vs. _______”

By: Richard DiRago It’s so close. After almost a 100 days of nothing but absolute silence or back-and-forth negotiations that seemed like they were going nowhere, a new CBA was agreed to and America’s greatest pastime with meaningful games is set to return on April 7th. Hallelujah! The second longest work stoppage in baseball historyContinue reading “3 Scenarios: 2022 AL East Predictions “

We all know how great Mets ace pitcher Jacob DeGrom is, but does anyone actually really understand just how good he is? DeGrom is having the greatest start to any season ever so far this year. He’s started 13 games this season posting a 7-2 record, with a 0.69 ERA. That ERA is the lowestContinue reading “Jacob DeGrom – Greatest to ever do it?”

In one of the weirder stories I’ve heard in a while, it appears the MLB star, Albert Pujols has been lying about his age. We’ve been told and everyone thinks that Pujols is 41 years old, but according to a former MLB exec, Pujols is about 44 years old right now. He mentions that theContinue reading “Albert Pujols is lying about his age?”
