A Historical Look at Yankee Offseason Activity

By Mike Whiteman November 8, 2021 *** The offseason has begun, and coming off what has been an unsatisfactory season, Yankee fans are clamoring for big changes, some calling for a complete overhaul. To get a historical perspective on the franchise’s rebuilding activity, I decided to look at some meaningful Yankee offseasons in the free-agent era. A note – there are some significant Yankee roster moves missing in this post, such as the Dave Winfield free agent signing, and the

The Yankees First Half: The Good, The Bad, and The Future

By Patrick Gunn July 15, 2021 *** The Yankees found new, fascinating, and tragic ways to showcase their talents in the first half. Remarkably, NY presented themselves as both a team talented enough to win a World Series and as a squad destined to massively disappoint fans and pundits. Their 3-9 record when going for sweeps signifies New York’s effort – a team close to dominating an opponent but always coming up short one way or another. Now, the Yankees have not been all terr

Was Letting Tauchman Go an Early Mistake?

Yesterday Mike Tauchman made another home-run robbing catch- this time against Juan Soto- as Yankee fans continue to share highlight reel plays of the versatile outfielder the Yankees sent to the San Francisco Giants in late April. Now a month and a half out, let’s see how the trade has played out. The New York Yankees announced today that they have acquired LHP Wandy Peralta and a player to be named later from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for OF Mike Tauchman. Prior

It’s Not Too Late

By Mike Whiteman February 8th, 2021 Today is February 8th. Spring Training is coming soon, a welcome development any year but especially in 2021, as we can use the distraction to this terrible time we’re going through as a nation. It’s a taste of the normalcy that we are absolutely craving. By this time of the winter, many Yankee fans are at a point of acceptance/resignation that the perceived holes in the roster haven’t been filled…and won’t be going into the season. The ti

The Most Talked About Yankees Trade Is Completed: Sonny Gray to the Reds; Becomes 3-Team Deal Late w

Moments ago, Jeff Passan of ESPN tweeted that the Yankees and the Reds have officially traded Sonny Gray to play in Cincinnati. Currently, the total return for the Yankees is unknown, yet many reports before the deal became official listed that 2B prospect Shed Long will be in the deal, which Jeff Passan had confirmed would be heading to New York, for a moment. However, Passan now reports that the Mariners will be getting Long, and the Yankees are getting back OF prospect Jos

Quick List: Yankees Transactions, Signings, and Arbitration News from Jan. 11th

It’s been a busy day for the Yankees, not only because of the 1PM EST Arbitration Settlement Deadline, but also because they have officially announced one MLB signing, finalized a deal for another MLB player, and had two players claimed off of waivers by the Cleveland Indians and Baltimore Orioles. So far, they have settled with 3 of their 9 arbitration-eligible players, but have had 1 player file for a hearing (which will probably occur in February). As news comes out about

INF Ronald Torreyes Traded to Chicago Cubs for PTBNL/Cash

Torreyes stuck with the Yankees as an up-and-down infielder for just under the greater part of 3 seasons- from 2016 to 2018- accumulating 229 games over the last three ye

One Final Holiday Gift?

The Yankees continue to make moves, but the signing of C.C. Sabathia and the trading of Chase Headley and Bryan Mitchell were obviously not of the blockbuster magnitude that went along with the trade for Giancarlo Stanton. Still, rumors exist (and common sense tell us) that the Yankees are not done yet. Speculation is that they are looking for an infielder and one more starting pitcher. Will the Yankees make one more trade or free agent signing this holiday season? The fol
