Unprotected: Who Will the Yankees Lose to the Rule V Draft?
Brian Cashman had a busy couple of days to prepare for Monday night’s Rule V 40-man roster deadline. The Yankees 40-man roster was a bit of a mess; they added Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Jake Cave, Albert Abreu, Thairo Estrada and Jonathan Loaisiga, and were forced to subtract Garrett Cooper, Caleb Smith, Ronald Herrera, Nick […]
Introducing the Bronx Beat Podcast
For the past three-plus years, I’ve had the honor of producing and hosting 117 episodes of the It’s About the Money Podcast. I’m pleased to announce that the podcast, renamed Bronx Beat, is moving here to BP Bronx. Fans of BP and BP Bronx should enjoy Bronx Beat. We approach baseball and the Yankees from an […]
Trading from the relief surplus
The Yankees are in a tricky situation. They’ve just entered the start of their contention window, and now is the time to start making big moves. Brian Cashman accelerated the timeline with his deadline deals in July, and the offseason is an even better time to make improvements because of the larger number of avenues […]
Using Carlos Gomez’s free agency as a barometer for Jacoby Ellsbury
At first glance, Carlos Gomez and Jacoby Ellsbury don’t appear to share many similarities aside from the position they play. Gomez hits for power, Ellsbury does not. Gomez throws and bats right-handed, Ellsbury does the opposite. Gomez is a free agent, Ellsbury is not. You get the picture by now. Despite these differences, what happens with […]
Adam Warren was different in 2017, but did anyone notice?
Memory is a funny thing. It’s easy to recall standout players and disappointing performances, but practically everything else is murky. Ask anybody with a faint interest in baseball about Aaron Judge’s 2017, and that person should have no problem rattling off a glowing summary. On the other hand, a negative quip would be expected about Chris Carter’s […]
How the Yankees can change course at designated hitter
The Yankees had a great offense in 2017, trailing only the Astros in runs scored. Barring any trades, the Yankees could go into 2018 with a very similar cast of characters. The infield is set, with Greg Bird, Starlin Castro, Didi Gregorius, and Chase Headley around the diamond. The outfield is squared away, with Aaron Judge, […]
The definitive list of managerial candidates
A whopping 20 to 25 human beings are included on the short list for the Yankees managerial vacancy. Here at BP Bronx, we’ve scooped Jon Heyman and the rest of the media with the definitive list of candidates the Yankees are definitely considering, and it’s actually only 19 deep: 1. Goose Gossage Ties to the Yankees? […]
On discovering Doc Halladay and becoming a fan
Living in Peru, watching baseball without MLB.tv was hard. We usually only got two chances a week to see a game: either Wednesday night or Sunday night – and that if it wasn’t football season. It was a year after I got in the game; a friend of mine told me that I had to […]
Assessing teams that might have use for Jacoby Ellsbury or Chase Headley
Last week, E.J. touched upon the Yankees’ offseason budget and how a few salary shedding trades could be in the club’s plans. E.J. also wrote about Masahiro Tanaka’s decision to remain in the Bronx and how it has increased the likelihood of the Yankees seeking to move salary off the books. Fortunately — Unfortunately? — the Yankees have a […]
