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 …
There have been rumored discussions between the Yankees and Athletics this offseason. The name from the Athletics that gets brought up the most is first baseman Matt Olson, and for good reason. He is a great player and would be a great fit for the Yankees. New York could use an upgrade at either of the corner infield positions though, …
It is a new year, and while the MLB lockout is still ongoing, it would be wise for the Yankees to be prepared for when work resumes. Here are five resolutions for the New York Yankees. 1) Figure Out the Shortstop Position The most obvious question that needs to be answered this offseason is who will be playing shortstop on …

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 …
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 …
As I sit here trying to summarize the feeling of watching the Yankees slowly meet their demise in the Wild Card game to the Boston Red Sox it is easy to pinpoint the fatal flaws from the 2021 season. More comprehensive thoughts on these topics will be put out there in the coming weeks, but these are the reasons the …
