The New York Yankees feature plenty of star-power. Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Gerrit Cole will probably all make the 2024 American League All-Star team if they stay healthy. All three players are superstars without question. The addition of Soto certainly makes New York’s lineup much more intimidating. There is one player, however, who may […]

The New York Yankees have one big reason for optimism heading into the 2024 campaign, and that is Juan Soto. The superstar outfielder was picked up in a trade with the San Diego Padres this offseason, and the hope was that he and Aaron Judge would form the most lethal duo in the league. Early […]

New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole isn’t happy with how an opposing player acted following a home run.

Are we still in February? March 1st? […]

The New York Yankees finished above .500 in 2023, but it wasn’t enough to match the lofty standards set by baseball’s preeminent Major League franchise. The Yankees finished 19 games behind the first-place Orioles, a result that doesn’t sit well with General Manager Brian Cashman judging by his recent, early offseason comments. Cashman has been […]

The “opener” is a term MLB fans have heard quite often in recent years. The strategy that originally gained traction with the Tampa Bay Rays and proceeded to make its way around the league drew mixed reviews. For those who may not be aware, the opener is a pitcher who starts a game for a […]

The New York Yankees’ 2023 season was one they wish to never experience again. Their 82-80 record is not terrible, but it is also largely cosmetic; the Yankees were six games below .500 as late as August 27th this season.

The New York Yankees clearly need to make significant changes if they hope to get back into contention in 2024. The Yankees’ 2023 season has been nothing short of a disaster.
