Sometimes, players are traded while they’re sleeping, or working out, or eating…but rarely are they traded while they’re in the john. Clint Frazier was the “mystery caller” on MLB Network’s “Hot Stove” on Monday, and told Harold Reynolds and Matt Vasgersian that he was notified of his trade to New York when he got back from using […]

The youth movement has garnered most of the attention in the Bronx these days, and for good reason. The rise of El Gary and the acquisition of Clint Frazier and Co. has created a buzz in the Bronx that has not existed since the mid-to-late 1990s. Consequently, other Yankees such as Starlin Castro have fallen […]

After trading him at last year’s deadline, the Yankees are bringing back closer Aroldis Chapman on a five-year, $86 million deal, Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports. With Dellin Betances bobbling the closer’s workload, the Yankees were in the market for a closer this off-season. They got their top target, who was reportedly seeking a six-year, $100 million […]

Carlos Beltran was a stereotypical Yankee. On the last leg of his career, Beltran signed a short deal and provided a veteran presence in the clubhouse. His Yankee path was similar to quite a few aging outfielders in recent years, following in the footsteps of Raul Ibanez, Vernon Wells and Ichiro. But with general manager Brian […]

In a somewhat surprising move, the Padres non-tendered Tyson Ross this week, rendering him a free agent for any of the 30 teams to sign. Even though Ross was a non-tender, this was his last season of arbitration before hitting free agency, so he comes with no additional years of team control. Because the smallest contract a […]

When Luis Severino was first called up to the majors, I had visions in my head of an ace. This ace was set to take the Yankee fanbase and the rest of the league by storm, firing 98-mph heaters and wicked changeups all over the place. He was going to take the ball every fifth […]

It feels as though the Yankees have been linked to every possible free agent. There have been multiple reports that the Yankees have spoken to Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion, and Yoenis Cespedes, among others, to fill their DH vacancy. Heading into the offseason, with Brian McCann on their roster, it was unclear whether the Yankees […]

The Yankees had reportedly been chatting with the Astros about a potential Brian McCann deal, and now they’ve struck a deal. New York agreed to send McCann—and more importantly, money to cover his salary—to Houston in exchange for right-handed pitchers Albert Abreu and Jorge Guzman, they announced on Thursday night. Abreu, 21, has had a steady beginning […]

In all likelihood, we’ve only seen the best Gary Sanchez has to offer. Sure, he’s young enough to improve aspects of his game, but it seems improbable that he’ll slug over .650 next season and look like the most dominant offensive weapon in the sport. It could happen, but it won’t. Instead, Sanchez will show […]

The offseason is officially in full swing with a flurry of moves taking place over the past week. The Yankees have stayed relatively quiet for now, though they have reportedly found a trading partner for Brian McCann. Despite a somewhat calm week, we still have you covered with an update on how the Yankee prospects are handling the […]
