It’s hard to imagine the Red Sox doing the Yankees a favor in free agency, but they did when they signed Japanese outfielder Masataka Yoshida. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the deal as being for five years, $85 million. You’ll recall that I recently took a look at Yoshida, 29, and concluded that while risky, his … Continued

Former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez knows a thing or two about signing long-term contracts for an obscene amount of money.

The Yankees are happy now. But wait until 2029, Mike Francesa says. The WFAN legend was a bit of a party pooper after Aaron Judge landed a historic nine-year, $360 million deal to remain in pinstripes. “It’s an extreme contract,” Francesa said on his latest BetRivers podcast. “It’s a bad contract. The Yankees will pay … Continued

We all know Aaron Judge is, more or less, the captain of the Yankees. Just look at his whole Yankees tenure since he debuted in 2016. A home run in his first career at-bat followed by slugging 54 homers as an official rookie the next year. Simply commanding a room and the respect of his … Continued

It never made much sense that only two teams would partake in the Aaron Judge free agency sweepstakes.

Sure enough, it was … Continued

Dear Aaron Judge, Wow, what a year, right? Your Yankees won 99 games and another AL East title through a true roller coaster of a season. Another ALCS loss to the Astros later, and that World Series ring eluded you yet again. But not even that can put a damper on batting .314 with 62 … Continued

When contract extension talks between Aaron Judge and the Yankees broke down on Opening Day, general manager Brian Cashman did something unusual: He made his offer public.

Where in the world will Aaron Judge be this afternoon? We know he was at Monday Night Football chilling with Tom Brady (and Nestor Cortes!). That is not in dispute. But Judge’s Tuesday activities? Up for debate. And the uncertainty is likely quite unnerving for the Yankees amid this free agency circus. MLB.com reported Monday … Continued

The Winter Meetings are, in a nutshell, Major League Baseball’s version of Comic-Con. It’s actually uncanny how similar the two are. Both take place in sunny San Diego at a hotel/convention center with way more space than should be allowed. Each event is a yearly who’s-who of their respective industries and mediums. The Winter Meetings … Continued

Brian Cashman is back working with a contract again. The Yankees have kicked off the winter meetings by re-signing their general manager to a new four-year deal. Cashman, who is entering his 25th season at the helm of the Bombers, is now under contract through the 2026 season. Cashman’s contract expired at the end of … Continued
