Projecting Aaron Boone's playoff roster as Yankees aim for World Series

The Yankees have won the American League East and a first-round bye for the playoffs. They have to decide who they will ride with as they pursue the franchise’s 28th World Series championship. Matt Carpenter, Josh Donaldson, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, DJ LeMahieu, Anthony Rizzo and Gleyber Torres are the players they should choose from. Oswaldo Cabrera and Marwin Gonzalez are not. The Yankees should also consider bringing back Matt Carpentier, who has 50 career postseason games and is an experienced playoff player.

Projecting Aaron Boone's playoff roster as Yankees aim for World Series. Frankie Montas, Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes Jr., Luis Severino, Jameson Taillon, Aroldis Chapman, Scott Effross, Domingo German, Clay Holmes, Ron Marinaccio, Wandy Peralta and Lou Trivino are left out. Clarke Schmidt, Zack Britton and Lucas Luetge are also left in. The list is based on the current standings. It is not a complete list. Aaron is considering using Monta as an opener or someone who gives them 30 to 40 pitches in a playoff game.

Previewing the AL East: New York Yankees

Last year, the AL East was the most competitive division in baseball, with three of the AL's six playoff teams coming out of that division, and the Orioles the best team to not make the postseason. The best team in that best division, the New York Yankees went 99-63 in 2022, seven games ahead of top Wild Card seed Toronto (92-70) and thirteen ahead…

TAMPA - Isiah Kiner-Falefa stood alone in center field on Tuesday, bouncing around on the outfield grass at Steinbrenner Field as he shagged flyballs during Yankees batting practice. This was more than a spring training escapade for Kiner-Falefa, who started 131 games at shortstop last season. The infielder has been working in the outfield over the…

The fact that Anthony Volpe topped every Yankees prospect list for the second winter in a row and ranks among the game's top 10 prospects is more than enough to make him a major point of interest when spring training opens next week; after all, spring training is our main opportunity to get to watch the organization's prospects on a daily basis.…

The Yankees Are Betting That Their Kids Will Be Alright

If you asked a diehard Yankee fan to describe their offseason, you might get a ho-hum response. The standards in the Bronx are apparently a little different than they are across the rest of the MLB landscape. "Only" re-signing your best player to a nine-year, $360M extension and lengthening the already deep starting rotation by inking lefty Carlos…

Yankees fans are angry. Hal Steinbrenner admitted that himself. However, for those looking for drastic changes to be made to this current lineup, there are not many places to go up from what Brian Cashman already had. The Bombers have a flawed roster with aging players and lineup inconsistency after their stack of Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo and…

NEW YORK (AP) - Aaron Judge's future is uncertain. It remains to be seen whether Aaron Boone's is, too. Judge's career in pinstripes might have ended when he made the final out in Sunday night's 6-5 loss to the Houston Astros, who completed a four-game AL Championship Series sweep as the Yankees unraveled with yet another defensive…

MLB Playoffs 2022: Yankees announce Division Series roster

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…

Yankees in four? Sweep? Not so fast. Sure, the Yankees won 99 games to the Guardians' 92 plus five…

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.

But it doesn't make the Yankees any likelier to improve upon their'22 finish,…
