When fans get into Hot Stove discussions, they’re generally centered around big name, future Hall of Famers who are available for the right price. Juan Soto last winter. Shohei Ohtani the winter before. This offseason features some very good players to be sure, but none on that level and more importantly, none that seem to … Continue reading Two Under the Radar Free Agents for the Yankees
There hasn’t been too much left unsaid about the absurdity – in the best sense – of the final game of the 2025 MLB season. That said, there may be a few things that haven’t been said enough and bear much repeating. My apologies for not getting my thoughts, which surely you were waiting for … Continue reading We Need to Talk (More) About Game 7…
We all have our fandom idiosyncrasies – I certainly do – but there’s this weird reactionary behavior in sports where fans refuse to give credit to overachievers. If a team, or an individual player, has consensus expectations placed on them and those expectations are clearly exceeded, that’s reason for compliments and applause, not condemnations. And … Continue reading You Were Wrong About the 2025 Yankees (and so was I…)
“Detroit runs the bases very well – it’s what they do.” - Michael Kay Fact: Detroit baserunners have been tagged out on the bases more than any team in MLB.

As I mentioned on Bluesky the other day, there is far more reason for optimism than pessimism at this point with the Yankees. They’re on pace for 91 wins, they have a legit shot at the division, and they are absolutely going to the postseason - which means they’ve played slightly above expectations this season. … Continue reading An Unheralded Strength of the Yankees?

June 3rd is also when Jazz Chisolm Jr. returned to the Yankees lineup after a five-week stint on the IL. Since then, Jazz … Continue reading Jazz is a BAD Man
Far too many things happened on the Yankees trade front over the past 48 hours to cover comprehensively, but I’d like to touch on two of them that may not be getting as much attention as some of the splashier moves. The Yankees traded Oswald Peraza to the Angels for international bonus pool money and … Continue reading Yankees Trade Deadline: Two Things to Know
Your need to know about the Yankees acquiring Ryan McMahon… If you’re initial reaction to the move was “Here goes Cashman with another half measure…” you’re not wrong – heck I agree with you. In this case, Arizona’s Eugenio Suarez* - who’s been one of the best players in MLB for over a calendar year* … Continue reading Ryan McMahon: A Yankees Fan’s Guide
Three things you need to know about the 2025 Yankees: We’re more than halfway through the season; they’re tied for first place and are at a 90-win pace. That’s better than most people expected and is certainly nothing to be angry about. They are nowhere near as good as folks thought they were on May … Continue reading Three Things to Know About the ’25 Yankees
We all know the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. To that end, this is the last time I’m going to ask, “What the hell is going on with the Yankees organization and Anthony Volpe?” because quite clearly, Anthony Volpe is going to be the Yankees … Continue reading Yankees Have Reached the Definition of Insanity with Volpe
