The Yankees are off to one of the best starts fans have ever seen at 26-9 with the best record in baseball. This might be surprising to many because a team formed of essentially the same roster won 91 games and lost in the Wild Card game in 2021. They didn’t make the big moves nearly everyone wanted like signing …

The Yankees went into the 2021-2022 offseason knowing that things needed to change. It had been four straight years of downturn since they were in game seven of the 2017 ALCS against the Houston Astros. In 2018, losing in the ALDS to the Boston Red Sox. In 2019, it was back in the ALCS but losing in six to the …

In a normal year there would be a ton of excitement surrounding pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. Of course that is not happening right now because of the ongoing MLB lockout. Spring training is in all likelihood delayed and opening day might be pushed back as well. Not to mention the Yankees have not even made any significant …

Gary Sanchez burst onto the scene in 2016 with a dominant 20 home run performance in just 53 games as the Yankees that year missed the playoffs for the third time in four years. He had another solid year in 2017 slashing .278/.345/.531 with 33 home runs and an OPS+ of 126 which is above league average. Since then, his …

MLB is in the middle of a lockout that will likely last into the new year, so now is a good time to reflect on what happened with the Yankees in 2021 on an in-depth level. Last week we dove into the causes for DJ LeMahieu’s regression, now we will be diving into perhaps the most polarizing player on the …

Major League Baseball and its owners induced the league’s first work stoppage since 1994-1995 when they locked the players out, which began at 12:01am on Thursday. This means that there will be a freeze in transactions for the duration of the lockout. The Yankees did not make any moves other than tendering contracts to the likes of Gary Sanchez and …

Brett Gardner and Darren O’Day declined their options for the 2022 season. There were mutual options for both players, and the Yankees declined both of them so that those players will be free agents. It is not certain that Gardner has played his last game in pinstripes, but it seems more likely than not. He has spent 14 years with …

New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said loud and clear in media availability last week that one of the Yankees’ priorities this offseason was to replace the shortstop position. Gleyber Torres has had two sub-par seasons in a row and lost his shortstop job toward the end of the season. Torres would be moved back to second base, where …

It was announced Tuesday that the Yankees had re-signed manager Aaron Boone to a three-year contract extension with a club option for a fourth year. This sent Twitter-verse into an uproar with the majority of Yankee fans not wanting Boone to return. However, most of the coaching staff is not returning following the firing of three coaches and 1st base …

The Yankees once again fell short of their goal of winning the World Series. In fact, they weren’t close to their goal. Even more so, they haven’t been close to that goal since 2017. They fired Joe Girardi because he said something mean about Gary Sanchez to the media and since then the Yankees have been getting worse. Aaron Boone …
