Yankees’ Alex Verdugo trade looks like a Brian Cashman win
BOSTON — Here’s some blunt, unsolicited advice for the Red Sox: Don’t trade with the Yankees, guys. If you send Babe Ruth to the Bronx for $100,000 and start a history of trades that hand a hated rival the greatest dynasty of all time for a pittance, you’re never going to balance the books anyway.

Alex Verdugo stars against former team as Yankees crush Red Sox
BOSTON — If Alex Verdugo was understating what a return to Fenway Park meant to him, his run around the bases in the first inning Friday night said it all. Verdugo was initially upset but ultimately pleased when the Red Sox traded him to the Yankees, and six months later he hit the first pitch […]
Yankees’ Gerrit Cole dominates with 10 strikeouts in rehab start
BOSTON — Gerrit Cole whiffed repeatedly on Friday night in Rochester. The next time he takes the mound could be in the Bronx.

Anthony Rizzo snaps home run drought in hopeful sign for Yankees
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It had been a long, 27-game stretch since Anthony Rizzo last took a swing like this. Maybe his eighth-inning home run — which he hit over John Schreiber’s sweeper to give the Yankees their first run of the game — was a blip in a losing season. Or maybe, after going […]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The inevitable became official on Wednesday: With Jasson Dominguez’s rehabilitation period over, the Yankees have opted to keep the young outfielder in the minor leagues.

Giancarlo Stanton’s resurgence continues with homer in Yankees’ win
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Yankees officially announced Wednesday afternoon that they have optioned prospect Jason Dominguez, completing the player’s rehab assignment and keeping the “Martian” at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre indefinitely. A few hours later, Giancarlo Stanton reminded the major leagues why there is no open position for Dominguez. The designated hitter continued to show he […]
Yankees’ Marcus Stroman has been key — now comes hard part
Marcus Stroman has heard this story before. He’s seen strong performances to start the season and what they can lead to — like an All-Star Game invitation last year — and then he’s seen how quickly that progress can fade. He’s seen the peak of a pitching career. Ace It’s easy to be labeled that […]
