The New York Yankees are one of the most iconic teams in Major League Baseball and the most successful professional baseball team in the world. The Yankees have a long and storied history of success, having won 27 World Series championships, 40 American League pennants, and numerous division and wild card titles. They are known for their…

It's all in the headline, y'all. This one is simple. The Yankees have a plethora of quality starting pitchers. They do not have a plethora of durable quality starting pitchers. The best ability is availability, as they say, and that only rings more true in October after a six-month grind of a season. Health is a fragile thing, but a six-man…

The New York Yankees signed Carlos Rodon to a six-year, $162 million contract and former outfielder Cameron Maybin loves the signing. The Yankees have been a step behind the Houston Astros for years now in the American League, but Rodon's presence could tip the scales. According to NJ.com, Maybin, who briefly played for the Yankees before entering…

Ex- Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin faced Carlos Rodon in the majors and has watched from afar as a YES Network analyst. Want to bet on MLB? The Yankees sure hope so.

So before the second half begins, let's dive into the top 10 story lines to monitor between now and October-because there's a whole lot of baseball left, and just as much drama on the…

Post columnist Steve Serby catches up with Yankees catcher Jose Trevino to take a swing at some Q&A. Q: How close were you to quitting baseball when your late father Joe was ill? A: I was coming home, I was ready to come home. I was gonna try to support my family. It was me and my mom, I talked to my mom and my mom was like, "No, you're not doing…

Before this offseason, the Yankees had given three nine-figure free-agent contracts to a pitcher. In each case it was an established ace (though not all in MLB). In each case it has - at least to date - worked out well. CC Sabathia received a seven-year, $161 million pact after the 2008 season and was central to a 2009 championship. Masahiro Tanaka…

With MLB free agency winding down, the league is beginning to take shape. Some teams have drastically improved their chances of competing in 2023 based on swift offseason moves. The New York Mets just pulled off a stunner to land Carlos Correa after the shortstop had previously agreed to a deal with the San Francisco Giants. Other teams such as the…

NEW YORK - The news of a Yankees present-day cult hero moving on broke Tuesday while manager Aaron Boone was making a short drive from Yankee Stadium to a Bronx police station for a holiday grocery and toys giveaway.

TAMPA - If you're like us and already made a prediction as to which 28 players will make the Yankees' Opening Day roster, let's hope you used pencil. New York made a trade on Saturday night, a move sending a member of their bullpen to Texas in exchange for some depth at the catcher position.

Carlos Rodon is headed to the Bronx. Late on Thursday night, the New York Yankees got their man, signing Rodon to a six-year, $162 million deal. But just a few years ago, Rodon's career had been derailed by injuries. It wasn't until 2021 that the lefty emerged as an ace with the Chicago White Sox. Back then, Rodon was making just $3 million. Last…

Nine down, one to go. The 2022 free-agent signing period has been fast and furious. When Carlos Correa signed with the Giants earlier this week, he was the eighth of my top 10 free agents to sign. That breakneck pace hasn't slowed. On Thursday night, Carlos Rodón and the Yankees agreed to a six-year, $162 million contract, as Jon Heyman first…

Which franchises have their eyes on the young star, hoping to improve their squads and win a World Series ring? Which…

One of the worst things about sports this time of the year is when people compare TV ratings for different sports. Talking about TV ratings, in general, is a worthless enterprise, though there is an audience for it. I think it's because sports fans, to no surprise, like to know who the winners and losers are. Even if the numbers are made up and…

CC Sabathia knows a thing or two about being a lefty ace at Yankee Stadium. The retired Yankees great believes Carlos Rodon would flourish in the Bronx. "I feel like he could pitch anywhere," Sabathia said Monday while at a holiday event for his PitCCh-In Foundation that hosted approximately 200 children in need at Space Events in Englewood. "He's…

Aaron Judge was given 360 million reasons to stay in pinstripes, validating owner Hal Steinbrenner's promise to make him a Yankee for life. These were must-moves, to varying degrees, assuring that two key lineup figures returned to a club that won the AL East in 2022. But it doesn't make the Yankees any likelier to improve upon their'22 finish,…

The New York Yankees (97-60, 1st in AL East) play their final series at Yankee Stadium as they take on the Baltimore Orioles (81-77, 4th in AL East) this weekend in a three-game set that concludes on Sunday afternoon.

There are two American League postseason games today. There's also two American League teams that I believe will win their matchups today. I've decided to take the Mariners ML as an underdog and parlay it with the Yankees RL at plus-money to produced a potentially massive payout on a two-leg parlay. Seattle Mariners ML ( +136) vs Houston Astros New…

Like a lot of Yankees this time of the year, Nestor Cortes is sporting a beard for the holidays because managing partner Hal Steinbrenner's appearance policy can't be enforced in the offseason. By spring training, the All-Star left-hander will be clean shaved. And 100% healthy. He's getting there after a strained left groin forced him out of the…

The teardown of the Orioles began in July as they spiraled deeper into last place in the American League East. The task of rebuilding was next on the docket and ensured that they wouldn't contend again for at least a few years. There's no timetable given and no reason to believe in a quick fix. Changes have ripped apart the organization like a…

Back on the winning side! We were one strike away from a perfect 3-0 leather jacket today. The Astros decided that Ryan Pressly was the best man to close out the ninth off an injury. He wasn't; he left a hanging curveball that was launched into the seats to tie the game up. We lost on the spread, but our other picks BANGED. I said yesterday the…

Hello, all you beautiful people. I'm feeling amazing this Friday. I'm 6-1 in my last seven picks, highlighted by a perfect sweep yesterday. In our bread and butter game, we took the Reds vs. Guardians under through the first five innings, one of the easiest wins of the season.
