Yankees Make Pair of Trades
The New York Yankees made two trades on Monday night that have had a polarizing reaction from the fans. The first of them is the more polarizing part of the trade. The Yankees traded relief pitcher Adam Warren to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for more international bonus pool money. The Yankees have now maxed […]
Aaron Judge Out 3+ Weeks with Wrist Injury
The New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night, 7-2, but that is not the important story of the evening. Yankees superstar outfielder Aaron Judge exited the game after being hit in the wrist by a pitch from Royals’ pitcher Jakob Junis. Nobody knew what the diagnosis was going to be. Judge […]
Yankees Calling Up Brandon Drury for Series Against Red Sox
The New York Yankees have a big series to play against their AL East rival, the Boston Red Sox, this weekend. The Yankees announced after Wednesday night’s loss in Philadelphia that they optioned pitcher Luis Cessa following his start. The corresponding move has not yet been officially announced by the team as of 8 a.m. […]
Working Brandon Drury at First Base is a Smart Idea
Brandon Drury is still playing in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre right now; he’s not on the 25-man roster for the New York Yankees. This video of Drury and recently-demoted Tyler Austin surfaced, and it is a great idea: When the Yankees acquired Drury, Brian Cashman had said that they only really see him playing third. It seems […]
Jonathan Loaisiga Called Up, Tyler Austin Sent Down
Following the Yankees’ 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, the Yankees announced that they have optioned Tyler Austin to AAA Scranton/Wilkes Barre. This move was not entirely unexpected, but it may have caught some by surprise. Austin was the opening day first baseman in Greg Bird’s place, and has remained on the […]
Dramatic Homers Get Yankees the Win, 4-3.
The New York Yankees defeated the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night, 4-3. It looked like Yankees’ starter Domingo German was not going to have it when Matt Duffy homered off of the first pitch German threw. German immediately settled down, however, and looked really sharp in the process. The Rays added one more run […]
Masahiro Tanaka Placed on DL with Hamstring Strains
The Yankees have placed RHP Masahiro Tanaka on the 10-day disabled list with mild strains of both his left and right hamstrings. Tanaka appeared to injure the hamstrings while running the bases in the Yankees’ inter-league match-up with the Mets on Friday night. Specifically, he did so while tagging up from third to score on […]
Ronald Torreyes Sent Down to AAA for Greg Bird
On Saturday, the Yankees called up first baseman Greg Bird—who had ankle surgery at the end of the spring training—to make his season debut. Bird played a total of 12 rehab games before getting the call up. He had a .803 OPS, hit 3 home runs, and walked 10 times. The big surprise here is […]
Yankees Beat Angels 2-1.
The Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Friday night with a score of 2-1. The first game of a highly touted series was about as exciting as advertised. Many star players saw action: Luis Severino was on the bump for the Yankees; of course the Yankees had Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and […]
How Will the Yankees Handle Greg Bird’s Return?
Yankees first baseman Greg Bird is expected back some time this weekend (probably Sunday). General Manager Brian Cashman will have a tough decision to make when that happens; they’ll have to clear a roster spot. Bird is a big, left-handed power threat—one of the few things on offense that the Yankees have been missing. Their […]
Stop Complaining About Lineups
Tweeting your concerns with the starting lineups is a waste of time. I try to be as active on Twitter as I can. Of course, as far as baseball goes, I’m mostly involved with “Yankees Twitter,” as it is called, and I’m interacting with other Yankee fans while we all, essentially, watch the games together. […]
