Rays’ Amed Rosario open to Yankees trade as infield boost
The Yankees’ two-game losing streak to Tampa Bay has dropped them in the AL East standings and narrowed their lead in the wild-card race, further proof that some improvement is needed before the July 30 trade deadline. And manager Aaron Judge, who said at last week’s All-Star game that the Yankees were ready to “embrace […]
Yankees keeps making Luis Severino’s jab seem spot on
If the monsoon lasted a month, the 1948 Boston Braves would have [Warren] Span [Johnny] Signed in rotation. But it could rain for 40 days and 40 nights, and seven batters in the Yankees’ lineup, other than Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, will have to step up to the plate. It’s the quiet things people […]
Rachel Minaya, wife of Yankees executive Omar, found dead in their NJ home
Rachel Minaya, the wife of former Mets general manager and current Yankees executive Omar Minaya, was found dead in her New Jersey home on Saturday, according to a person briefed by the family.

Yankees catcher Carlos Narvaez notches hit in first major league at-bat
Saturday was a boring game that Carlos Narvaez will forever remember. The 23-year-old catcher made his major league debut in the Yankees’ 9–1 loss to the Rays, entering the game as catcher in the top of the ninth inning and recording his first career at-bat and hit, a single to left field in the bottom […]
1974 proved to be massively critical year for Yankees
It’s no surprise that there will be no memorial for the 1974 Yankees this year. For a franchise that boasts 27 championships and 40 World Series appearances (one of three ever), honoring a team that finished second, which meant postseason elimination in the pre-wild card era, isn’t necessarily on-brand. And yet, in many ways, 1974 […]
Pete Fairbanks could be a perfect fit for the Yankees
The Rays have a number of players on their roster who could be a fit with the Yankees, which speaks both to how much profit Tampa Bay could stand to make if they decided to sell, and to the limited needs of a Yankees organization with too many holes. One potential trade target is Pete […]
Yankees’ offense sputters again in lifeless loss to Rays
On Saturday, like most things over the past roughly five weeks, runners were the big development for the Yankees. These days, any sign of discomfort is something to cherish. And with the Yankees already trailing by four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Aaron Judge’s walk as leadoff hitter offered a glimmer of […]
Yankees allowing DJ LeMahieu to fight through brutal slump
DJ LeMahieu was back in the lineup as the No. 9 hitter on Saturday, but he was a far cry from the man he was a few years ago when he was one of the best hitters in golf. Speaking ahead of the game against the Rays in the Bronx, manager Aaron Boone said the […]
Giancarlo Stanton closing in on Yankees injury return
Giancarlo Stanton is looming on a significant return to the Yankees, but a specific timeline for his return and whether he will require a rehab assignment are unclear. “I’m going to have a few more days to work on it and then come up with the best plan for next weekend,” he said in the […]
WFAN pairing Suzyn Waldman, Craig Carton is betrayal to Yankees fans
Nearly 60 years ago, Mad magazine, a satirically inclined children’s publication before it was elevated to National Lampoon, invented a game called “43 Man Squamish.” Mad included a diagram of plays showing 43 players running in 43 different directions, a comical absurdity that likely inspired the StatCast graphics that networks buy and present in earnest […]
