NEW YORK - Shortly before breaking camp, heading north for the beginning of the regular season, Yankees manager Aaron Boone made a resounding assessment of his ball club. "I think we're a better team right now than we were at any points of last year," Boone said. "[We're] a more complete team." Many scoffed at the notion that New York-a team that…

Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge put an exclamation point on MLB's 2022 Winter Meetings with the largest free agent contract in MLB history, a nine-year, $360 million deal to remain with the New York Yankees through his age 39 season in 2031. As per MLBTR, "The $40 million average annual value on the contract establishes a new record among position…

The New York Yankees are one of the MLB teams with the most free agents to-be. The Bombers have nine players hitting the market, and they will be available to other teams just for money. "The MLBPA announced that 131 players are now free agents, including #AaronJudge. New York Yankees (9): Andrew Benintendi, Zack Britton, Matt Carpenter, Miguel…

The New York Yankees had an outstanding first half of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They entered the All-Star break with the best record in the league at 64-28. The starting rotation has been fantastic, led by Gerrit Cole. The Yankees bullpen has been equally dominant. Then there's what Aaron Judge has been doing this year. He, along with…

It was strange to see the Yankees lock up their division title near the end of the season and not play relevant baseball again for almost two weeks. The first-round bye is a new concept, and while I can't say that I'm sorry that New York dodged the Wild Card round (goodness knows that they've dealt with it enough in the past decade), it will be…

NEW YORK -- The final on-field action of the Yankees' 2022 season occurred at 12:08 a.m. ET on Monday, as Aaron Judge tapped a Ryan Pressly slider back to the pitcher. The Astros' celebration of an American League Championship Series sweep began even before the ball reached first base. Judge ran the play out, then watched for a few seconds as he…

NEW YORK - No, Jameson Taillon had never done it before. Yes, it would have happened in the most intense moment of the Yankees' season. And, yes, they were really going to go through with it.

The Yankees hosted their final pre-ALDS workout on Monday, and before they took the field, manager Aaron Boone addressed the media and provided some general updates on the team. While obviously not nearly as compelling as actual game action, there have been storylines to watch as the team prepared to host the Guardians in Game 1 on Tuesday. The…

The Yankees' roster has been in a constant state of flux over the past month due to injuries, and the expansion to 28 players in September allowed them to give a couple of young bats a shot. Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza certainly made the most of it, but now as the roster shrinks back down to 26 and players start to return in time for…

All rise! Aaron Judge and the Yankees are back at it. After a scary slump in August, the Yankees charged through September and clinched the AL East title, winning a bye straight to the ALDS and home-field advantage against either the Cleveland Guardians or the Tampa Bay Rays.

NEW YORK - Yankees manager Aaron Boone answered carefully.

NEW YORK - There's a lot of unknown when it comes to how the Yankees' playoff roster will look. Manager Aaron Boone is still hoping several key players can return from the injured list and prepare themselves in time for the American League Division Series that starts Oct. 11 - presuming that the Yankees don't blow their 5 1/2-game lead in the…

NEW YORK - Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson returned to the Yankees' lineup this weekend and the offense, which was as weak as mayonnaise, suddenly went Popeye. "I don't think you can understate that," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. And that's why it's too soon to crumple up this Yankees season, yell "Kobe!" and shoot a fadeaway into the…
