Giancarlo Stanton is trending toward the strangest Yankees tenure of any great player in team history. Yes, your initial instinct may be tying Stanton to Alex Rodriguez or Dave Winfield.

You know they’ll at least kick the tires on it, … Continued

Some players use the All-Star Break to relax, be it a short vacation or just a trip home. For Yankees center fielder and New York native Harrison Bader, it’s doing a collaboration with Ray’s Bar on the city’s Lower East Side. Management recently added “Bader Tots” to the menu, a smothered tater tots appetizer featuring … Continued

Blink twice if you need to be extracted, guys. The Yankees sold out Wednesday, announcing they will slap a advertisement patch on their uniforms moving forward.

Sure, the Yankees have continued their descent toward being just another baseball team with their new uniform advertisement sponsor patch. But on the bright side, they are making a buck! The Bombers “should net a minimum of $20 million annually” thanks to their deal with “signature partner” Starr Insurance, according to USA Today reporter Bob … Continued

You knew this was coming. We warned you before Opening Day back in March. But still, just about everyone was hoping the Yankees wouldn’t join the trend when it came to adding a jersey patch advertisement to New York’s classic home and away uniforms. Well, our greatest nightmare is here. The Yankees announced on Wednesday … Continued

MLB’s All-Star Game and all the festivities that come with it are officially in the rearview mirror. The regular season doesn’t restart until Friday. So, what are we going to do until then? We can wonder about what the Yankees will do at the trade deadline and whether Juan Soto is a legitimate target. That’s … Continued

Joey Gallo has been remarkably accountable and candid about his nightmarish Yankees tenure. Yes, the whole “my apartment was small and there was no beach” thing was silly. But that has been the exception with the boom-or-bust slugger, not the rule. Anyway, Gallo — now with the Twins — is still beating himself up. From … Continued

MLB’s 2023 Home Run Derby will take place on Monday night in Seattle at T-Mobile Park. Pete Alonso is the only New York player who will be participating.

The 2023 MLB trade deadline is less than a month away. And it has become clear the New York Yankees will not only be buyers, but they will mean business come August 1. New hitting coach Sean Casey awaits any new hitter. Pitching isn’t a priority, but might be a good idea if the right … Continued

It took him 26 years, but he finally did it. Brian Cashman, longtime general manager of the Yankees, made a midseason firing. The sacrificial lamb? Hitting coach Dillon Lawson, dismissed after a year and a half on the job. Yankees make the Dillon Lawson move official. Statement from Brian Cashman via Yanks: pic.twitter.com/xMAyEfSm5y — Conor … Continued

Give Brian Cashman and the Yankees this: They have mastered the art of acting like they are doing something. And to be clear: That is all this is. Firing hitting coach Dillon Lawson was not even a half-measure. It was just another empty flail by an organization headed in the same direction it has been … Continued

The Chicago Cubs waltzed into the Bronx on Friday and beat the Yankees 3-0, the team’s first-ever win at Yankee Stadium. The highlight of the game belonged to one Cody Bellinger, a former Dodger and MVP now manning center field in Chicago. That highlight, in case you missed it, went a little something like this: … Continued

Five years ago, Luis Severino was supposed to be the next great Yankees ace. The numbers certainly supported it. The young righty posted a 2.98 ERA in 2017 at just 23 years old. He followed that with a 3.39 mark in 2018. Struggles with tipping pitches and a pair of playoff clunkers were blips on … Continued

Before the Yankees head into the All-Star break, they’ve got one more series against the Chicago Cubs. The big news is Carlos Rodon making his long-awaited team debut on Friday. But could it also be a preview of what it’d look like if Cody Bellinger called Yankee Stadium home? General manager Brian Cashman has been … Continued

The Yankees played well in half of their four-game set against the rival Orioles. A comeback win to start and then a commanding one later, everything was looking good for a series win and maybe gaining some ground in the standings. Cue a bullpen meltdown and Luis Severino hitting another rock bottom in his contract … Continued

American professional sports teams playing regular season (or exhibition) games overseas is old hat now. But Paris has never really gotten in on the act.
