MLB Announces Yankees News on Friday

Originally posted on Athlon Sports  |  By Max Escarpio  |  Last updated Nov 7, 2025 7:09 PM ET

The New York Yankees hoped to get back to the World Series after losing in 2024 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

That did not happen as they fell in the American League Division Series to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays then went on to lose in the World Series to the Dodgers, who are now back-to-back champions.

The Yankees still had a successful season at the plate. As a team, they finished first in the MLB in home runs (274) and first in runs batted in (820).

Aaron Judge led the Yankees internally in both categories and is now up for the AL MVP Award after winning it in 2022 and 2024.

On Friday, the MLB announced the American League Silver Slugger winners.

Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. won for their respective positions, but also the Yankees as a team won.

"Congratulations to the whole squad for winning the AL Sliver Slugger Offensive Team of the Year Award!" the Yankees said on social media.

This is the third season in which the MLB announced a team to win the Silver Slugger Award. Prior to 2023, only individual players won.

This is the second time the Yankees have won the award after doing so last season.
