Yankees must drop Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the bottom of the lineup

The New York Yankees have a massive hole in the middle of their lineup, and its name is Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Why Yankees must move Devin Williams to setup immediately

The New York Yankees acquired Devin Williams specifically for games like their Friday night contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. Clinging to a 2-1 lead going into the ninth inning, fans smelled victory as Williams took the mound. And then he let them down again.

This season is make-or-break for Yankees SS Anthony Volpe

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe may be just 23, but he’s already in his third MLB season. He showed signs of good things to come in his first two years, but the shine is beginning to wear off of the once highly-touted prospect.

Jasson Dominguez faces spring competition from two Yankees prospects

On paper, the Yankees’ 2025 outfield appears set, with Aaron Judge in right, Cody Bellinger in center and Jasson Dominguez in left. However, two Yankees prospects will have the opportunity to take left field from Dominguez come spring training: Spencer Jones and Everson Pereira.

Why Yankees may have more powerful outfield without Juan Soto

The Bombers’ outfield seems highly unlikely to be as powerful as it was last season. However, a quick numbers crunch indicates otherwise.

Why adding Paul Goldschmidt is Yankees’ worst idea yet

Yankees fans wanted Juan Soto for Christmas this year. Instead, New York gifted them a decent starting pitcher, an underwhelming centerfielder and, worst of all, an aging first baseman in Paul Goldschmidt.

Why Anthony Santander is an awful Juan Soto replacement

The MLB rumor mill is churning out all sorts of Juan Soto replacement ideas for the New York Yankees. One of the worst of those ideas is free-agent right fielder Anthony Santander.

Reeling from Juan Soto’s decision to sign with the New York Mets, the New York Yankees need to reclaim their mojo. One way they can do that is by making a run at Mets first baseman Pete Alonso.

Why Yankees should trade for pair of Cubs stars

MLB trade rumors have connected the Yankees to Cody Bellinger and Nico Hoerner. Here’s why New York should turn these rumors into reality.

Aaron Judge doesn’t care how much money Yankees offer Juan Soto

As the captain of the New York Yankees and reigning unanimous American League MVP, Aaron Judge deserves the highest paycheck on the team. But the power-hitting outfielder would gladly relinquish that honor if it means his team improves.

Nolan Arenado trade rumors abound, and much of the gossip connects the third baseman to the New York Yankees. But the Bombers would be wise to stay far away from the Cardinals star.

Why Yankees shouldn't sign Christian Walker

The New York Yankees need a first baseman. Christian Walker is one of the best first basemen available and, therefore, constantly connected to the Bombers in hot-stove conversations. But he is not the answer for New York.
