The New York Yankees wiffed on signing Japanese pitcher Tatsuya Imai and are still in search of another arm for the starting rotation. Imai was one of the biggest names in free agency this offseason, but all is not lost for the Yankees yet.
When it comes to the fundamental principles of my sports fandom, I really am a very simple guy. There is one basic tenet. The Golden Rule. The First Commandment.
The Toronto Blue Jays throttled the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series. Outside of game three, and a few innings in game one, it did not feel close throughout that series.
The Yankees’ bullpen has seen a lot of turnover this offseason. Devin Williams and Luke Weaver departed in free agency, both later signing with the Mets.
Throughout the 2025 season, it felt like a slam dunk that the New York Yankees would bring back Cody Bellinger. He was incredible on both sides of the ball, making game-changing plays with either his glove or his bat.

The New York Yankees' slow offseason is driving fans crazy. They are running out of years with Aaron Judge, they're hurting on pitching depth and they've just fallen short of the mountaintop once again.
The New York Yankees were embarrassed by the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Division Series, nearly getting swept on their home turf in the Bronx, were it not for the heroics of captain Aaron Judge.
I’ll admit I was still asleep when the word came down, that NPB ace Tatsuya Imai was signing with the Houston Astros for three years and $54 million guaranteed.
If the New York Yankees want to keep Ben Rice as their everyday first baseman, they can't have him struggling this much at the plate against left handed pitchers.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
New York Post | Andrew Crane: Japanese starter Tatsuya Imai agreed to terms with the Astros Thursday, per Jon Heyman. The Post writer reports that the 27-year-old’s deal is for three years and has a base value of $54 million with escalators that could raise the overall value to $63 million.
Jon Heyman reported that the Yankees are among several teams to check in on Shortstop Bo Bichette. With New York actively seeking to add more right-handed hitters to their lineup, Bichette appears to be an ideal fit.
While they won't have Tatsuya Imai on their team for the 2026 season, the Japanese sensation signed an interesting contract. The New York Yankees must keep tabs on the righty as his deal with the Houston Astros might not last all three years.
Losing out on Japanese pitcher Tatsuya Imai is a miss New York Yankees fans won't be getting over anytime soon. As more details begin to be revealed about his contract and decision, it's clear the Yankees front office wasn't offering the three-time NPB All-Star anywhere near what he wanted.
Aaron Judge won the American League's Most Valuable Player award three times in the last four years. The only thing standing in his way in 2023 was a literal wall at Dodger Stadium, because the captain of the New York Yankees was en route to adding another piece of hardware to his collection.
Andy Pettitte never accumulated the hardware that his south paw contemporaries like Randy Johnson, Tom Glavine, or CC Sabathia did. He was third in rookie of the year in 1995, and came as close as second in the Cy Young voting a year later when the upstart lefty helped lead a New York Yankees pitching staff to the 1996 World Series.
The calendar is flipping again, and in the Bronx that moment always comes with a strange mix of relief and restlessness. Another year of watching, waiting, believing.
For several years, New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez has been something of a promised star in Major League Baseball. There’s been flashes, but the almost 23-year-old has been nothing but a counting stats darling in parts of three seasons.
The New York Yankees made their next big move within the offseason market. Over the weekend, the club announced the signing of Nick Torres, an outfielder and first baseman out of the Mexican League.

The New York Yankees signed utility player Amed Rosario to a one-year contract for 2026, with The Athletic reporting the deal is worth $2.5 million. Rosario, 30, joined the Yankees after a July trade from the Washington Nationals and batted .303 with one home run and five RBIs in 16 games.
The New York Yankees will head into the 2026 MLB season with familiar faces looking to break through and carry the franchise back to the World Series. Two of the most important pieces are outfielder Aaron Judge and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, who have powered New York’s lineup since joining the Yankees.
