WATCH: Jets’ Aaron Rodgers rips into Giants defender, then clowns him

With the Yankees still under .500 as the calendar creeps closer to September, the team’s focus has shifted more toward 2024. We’ve seen that with the recent promotions of Oswald Peraza and Everson Pereira. We’ve also seen it with the release of Josh Donaldson and putting Harrison Bader on waivers. What could be next? It … Continued

The Yankees have placed center fielder Harrison Bader on waivers, according to Newsday’s Erik Boland. Hearing from multiple sources the Yankees have put CF Harrison Bader on waivers. Will be interesting to see if a contending team in need of outfield help will put in a claim. — Erik Boland (@eboland11) August 29, 2023 Bader … Continued

Former All-Star Bret Boone was on the “Sports Talk Chicago” podcast. And he had some interesting things to say about the Yankees. And his little brother who manages the team. Boone pointed out the obvious issues manager Aaron Boone and the Bombers have dealt with during this miserable season — pitching injuries, Giancarlo Stanton being … Continued

As Van Wilder’s father once said, you sometimes have to realize a poor investment and cut your losses. (Write that down.) That appears to be what the Yankees are doing with starting pitcher Frankie Montas. It won’t make the sting of last summer’s trade for the former Oakland A’s hurler go away, though. Shortly after … Continued

The Yankees announced they have released third baseman Josh Donaldson. Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees released INF Josh Donaldson from the roster. — Yankees PR Dept. (@YankeesPR) August 29, 2023 Thus ends a forgettable Bronx tenure for the former MVP. The Yankees acquired Donaldson from the Twins ahead of the 2022 season for Gary … Continued

As September approaches, the Yankees are taking an unfamiliar approach for the remainder of the 2023 regular season. They’re trying things out and giving young players some time on the field, all with the aim of preparing for 2024. That includes giving reliever Michael King an opportunity in the rotation. In an ideal world, he’d … Continued

It is hard to get all that worked up about Aaron Boone. I thought the Yankees should have fired him (and general manager Brian Cashman) after last year’s ALCS embarrassment. The team was clearly going nowhere under their leadership. And this miserable season has proven that assessment right. So if Boone gets sacked in a … Continued

Aaron Boone no longer appears to be a goner. The Yankees manager still has the confidence of general manager Brian Cashman, according to SNY. Which almost assuredly means he will be retained by the Bombers after this disastrous season ends, the logic goes. Because the only way Boone would be fired is if owner Hal … Continued

Yankees fans who want manager Aaron Boone fired may need to put their trust in owner Hal Steinbrenner. Per SNY’s Andy Martino, general manager Brian Cashman will only fire his manager if his owner orders it. Martino was quick to note that not once has Steinbrenner been involved in managerial changes. Every staff decision has … Continued

With the Yankees’ 2023 postseason hopes all but dashed, it’s time to focus on next year. We’re getting a glimpse of a couple of top prospects in the majors right now. However, it’s also worth noting that outfielder Jasson Dominguez is absolutely torching his competition right now. When New York promoted Oswald Peraza and Everson … Continued

The Yankees’ slow march toward playoff elimination continued with another series loss, this time to the AL East rival Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. However, unlike other series losses, this one has something of a moral victory for the Bronx Bombers. In the eighth inning, Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena was hit by an Albert … Continued

In the midst of a 10-game road trip, the Yankees have arrived in the Motor City after an eventful three-game weekend set vs. the Rays. Their stay in Detroit to face the Tigers will last four games before heading to Houston. Here are the probable pitching matchups at the moment. Monday at 6:40 p.m. ET: … Continued

Rather than discuss the Yankees losing yet another series, let’s discuss the actual story of the series. That would be the Bronx Bombers/Brian Cashman letting the kids play and calling up prospects Everson Pereira and Oswald Peraza. Their roles were clear from the start. Pereira would be the everyday left fielder and Peraza, who’s had … Continued

Just when you thought the failed Josh Donaldson experiment with the Yankees was over, there might be one final act left. And no, we’re not kidding. In the middle of July, New York put Donaldson back on the injured list with a calf strain. Initial reports said the injury was somewhere between a Grade-2 and … Continued

After finally snapping their losing streak in epic fashion (thanks to Aaron Judge), the Yankees head south to face the Rays. Through 10 games so far in 2023, New York is 4-6 against Tampa Bay. Here are the probable pitching matchups for this weekend’s series. Friday at 6:40 p.m. ET: Gerrit Cole vs. Zach Eflin … Continued

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman met with the media on Wednesday and finally said it: The 2023 season has been a “disaster.” “It’s been a disaster this season,” the veteran GM told reporters before Wednesday’s 9-1 win over the Nationals, which snapped the Yankees’ first nine-game losing streak in over 40 years. “Yes, definitely a … Continued

The Yankees avoided their first 10-game losing streak in more than 100 years on Wednesday night. However, it’s not like things are just back to normal in the Bronx. New York is still 61-65 and all but eliminated from the postseason with tough questions that need answers. Thankfully, Josh Donaldson’s contract will expire at season’s … Continued
