The New York Yankees are firing on all cylinders as they sit atop the American League East while dominating Major League Baseball. With a 21-8 record, the Yankees have done an outstanding job through the early part of the year. Whether or not they’ll be able to keep this up remains to be seen. However, […]

Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward called Gleyber Torres’s recent walk off home run a little league homer and said it only cleared the fence since Yankee Stadium features a short right field porch. This drew a reaction from both Torres and Aaron Boone. However, it also led to a rather savage response from the Yankees’ […]

The New York Yankees have long been known for having one of the more powerful lineups in baseball. This year’s version of the Yankees is no exception, as Anthony Rizzo has been going nuts, with eight home runs already. Aaron Judge has four jacks, but Giancarlo Stanton has yet to find his groove in 2022. […]

The 2022 season is a hugely important one for the New York Yankees. Their championship window is open for now but other teams, especially in their own division, are making runs for the ultimate prize as well.

When the free agency period opened up in November, there was much expectation that the New York Yankees would bolster their lineup with a $100 million-plus signing. Still, Yankees manager Brian Cashman watched as the likes of Carlos Correa and Trevor Story signed mega-deals elsewhere. At the least, Giancarlo Stanton is still confident that the […]

The New York Yankees have no shortage of giant players on their roster. Whether it is the hulking Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton, or even Joey Gallo, the roster is full of big guys with plenty of power. This can make selecting a designated hitter difficult. Typically, DHs are a team’s greatest power bat who […]

The New York Yankees have come close enough to a World Series in the past five years to be considered a contender. But they have come up short each time, not even able to win an American League Pennant.

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton has been on a crazy tear in the past couple weeks. He’s at it again Thursday against the Houston Astros.

Because he has continued to serve as an oft-injured player for the better part of his tenure in pinstripes, the power of New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is sometimes forgotten. However, Stanton tends to reappear from time to time, almost solely to remind the world just how strong he truly is. With the Yankees […]

With both Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge on the shelf currently with their own ailments, the New York Yankees seemingly cannot shake the injury bug that has seemingly been following them since the beginning of last season. And with their outfield ranks a bit thin at this time, a much-maligned big prospect may finally get […]

Where have we heard this story before: “High-paid New York Yankees superstar out with an injury; time table for his return is currently unknown.” Looks like history loves to repeat itself in the Bronx.

As if the New York Yankees were not yet sick and tired of the injury bug chasing them into the 2020 season, news of Luis Severino’s arm injury being much worse than it was first expected to be makes for a much more difficult start to the franchise’s Spring Training. After being shut down last […]

Even after going through a name change, it has been 10 seasons since the Miami Marlins have produced a team that has finished a regular season with a record that is .500 or above, an astounding number of seasons that have been filled with futility. And even with Derek Jeter at the helm helping run […]

The possibility that Game 4 of the ALCS would be postponed was discussed even prior to the start of Game 3. After all, this is the playoffs.

New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman was thought to be lost for the season after he suffered a flexor strain in August.

The New York Yankees are the marquee franchise in baseball and perhaps the most well-known team in American professional sports, so with that uniform comes a whole lot of responsibility.

Ever since Derek Jeter was a part of the group that purchased the Miami Marlins from then-owner Jeffrey Loria in 2017, the team has absolutely tanked and gone downhill, much to the dismay of Marlins fans (if there are any). Being installed as the team CEO was an interesting way to push his way into […]

Even with the all of the money that has been thrown around these past few weeks by MLB teams to lock up their players, there still are certain major leaguers who are not being paid what they deserve, due to their potential and their production so far. Mostly early in their careers, franchises are still […]

Coming off a season that saw him fall well below his offensive outputs in 2017, the year of 2018 for Aaron Judge was something that can best be described as forgettable. Lacking that true lineup protection with Giancarlo Stanton also having a down season, Judge was forced to take on more of the offensive workload […]

The New York Yankees won 100 games last season. What did that get them? Merely a Wild Card berth and a first-round exit courtesy of the Boston Red Sox, a team that will go down as one of the greatest ever in baseball history. It might be easy to write New York’s season up as […]

In a season that was ultimately a successful one for the Atlanta Braves, it was their rookie, Ronald Acuna, who led the way and pushed this team back into the playoffs after winning the National League East division. Coming off a successful season in his own right, Acuna is looking to improve upon his 2018 […]

For a team that has been a cellar dweller for so long, their farm system does not reflect that, which is what has been a big-time hindrance for the Miami Marlins, especially after Derek Jeter came in to run the team as CEO. After building a monstrosity of a vibrant ballpark, the team has failed […]

While the New York Yankees enjoyed yet another successful and impressive season, only to lose in the playoffs again, 2018 just did not have a signature Yankees feel to it. While riding the offensive performances of the smash brothers Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge, other elements of the franchise seemingly did not go how they […]
