Recently, the New York Yankees have caught fire and were winners of their last four going into the Sunday series finale with the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. As they say though: All good things come to an end and that mantra was on full display in the 12-3 rout that the Yankees were on the […]

Aaron Judge’s career is off to a hot start. Following up a towering 446-foot homer in Saturday’s win, Judge lined a 3-2 fastball from Rays starter Jake Odorizzi over the right field wall in the third to pull the Yankees within one. The ball left his bat at 102 mph, and went a projected 362 feet, according to […]

NEW YORK — As soon as Alex Rodriguez awoke Friday, there was stress. With a logjam at his position forcing him to the bench, Rodriguez needed a good stretch before playing, but couldn’t get one in due to time constraints. On the way to the game, driving up Broadway toward the Bronx for the final […]

It certainly didn’t take long for the Yankees to usher in the new era. After honoring some of the most important figures of the last twenty years, first with an emotional farewell to Alex Rodriguez Friday night, then with a tribute to the 1996 championship team early Saturday, the team unveiled prospects Tyler Austin and […]

It’s been an eventful weekend so far in the Bronx. After the Yankees bid farewell to Alex Rodriguez Friday night, they opened Saturday by calling up two of their most prized prospects, 1B Tyler Austin and RF Aaron Judge. It didn’t take the pair long to make an impact in the big leagues. With two […]

You knew going into the night that emotions would be running high on River Ave. and 161st St. in the Bronx when the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays collided. No, it had nothing to do with a race for the top of the AL East or between two clubs in the thick of […]

The Yankees will recall born-again prospect Tyler Austin to replace the roster spot left by the departing Alex Rodriguez, Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports. Austin, 24, can play first base and the outfield. With the DH spot free, Austin figures to get some time when Mark Teixeira rests, and in right until Aaron Judge arrives. The tall, muscular right-handed […]

I often wonder if Alex Rodriguez still thinks about the ninth inning of Game 4 in the 2004 American League Championship Series. The Yankees had a 4-3 lead when that inning began, a lead A-Rod helped build when his two-run home run broke a scoreless tie six innings earlier. The team was on the precipice […]

Alex Rodriguez presumably played at Fenway Park for the last time on Thursday night and while his performance was probably not up to his standards, he did contribute offensively to the Yankees’ 4-2 victory. Michael Pineda made his 23rd start of the season and had his usual issues with two out hits. It started right […]

It’s no secret that Didi Gregorius has been a bright spot on this team in 2016, emerging with an adequate enough bat to complement his well-regarded defense. WAR is a rather flawed stat that changes depending on what source you cite, but the consensus is that Gregorius has developed into something resembling a three-win player (prorated per […]
