The 2022 MLB Winter Meetings are underway, and it seems like Aaron Judge’s decision is imminent. While the Yankees are waiting to hear back, how should they approach the offseason? It has been reported that Judge’s decision is no longer a financial one, but it will be based on the lifestyle he wants. There was a false report that Judge …
Whether it was the end-of-season press conference last week, or Brian Cashman speaking to the media at the GM meetings, it seems all but confirmed that Josh Donaldson will return to the Yankees in 2023. It makes a lot of sense because Donaldson is coming off a disappointing year offensively and will count for $25 million on the luxury tax …
It was a bit closer than most would have liked, but the Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians in five games to advance to the American League Championship series.

If you continue reading this story, you will quickly find out that I land in that second group. Let me explain why. One of the main arguments in favor …
The Yankees have played exactly one-third of the season, and they hold the best record in baseball at 39-15. The Mets are the closest team in total wins with 37. Each of the other 29 teams have lost at least 19 games, four more than the Yankees. They just had a 6-0 homestand against the Angels and Tigers, and it …
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 …
With opening day just six days away, it’s now time to wonder what the Bronx Bombers’ lineup could look like when the Yankees host the Red Sox next Thursday.
