From the perspective that it didn't lead to a win, Luis Severino's major league debut was a failure.
From just about every other perspective, however, it was a success. Severino may not have led the New York Yankees to victory, but he looked the part of a pitcher who could lead them to a handful of must-have wins in what's left of the 2015 season.
That performance went down Tuesday night in the Yankees' 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. The 21-year-old right-hander out of the Dominican Republic ...

Looking to boost their outfield depth, the New York Yankees acquired Dustin Ackley from the Seattle Mariners.
The Mariners officially announced the deal on Twitter:
Ackley responded to news of the trade, saying it was "crazy" but that he was "excited for what the future has to bring," per MLB.com's Greg Johns.

There's still plenty of time before the MLB trade deadline closes at 4 p.m. ET on Friday, but—like a boy asking a girl to prom—some teams will wait until the last minute to present their dream player with a corsage. Though the New York Yankees hold first place in the American League East, the Bronx Bombers might be wise to make a move now before it's too late.
It could be argued that the Yankees have been the biggest surprise of the MLB this season. With many former superstars hitting the ...
There was a time when the New York Yankees were in on almost every deal—at the trade deadline, in the offseason, whenever. Even if they didn't land a particular player, they were hanging around the margins with their wallet and farm system open.
These days, the buzzword in the Bronx is "restraint." And that's a good thing.
Oh, sure, New York has been linked to high-profile trade targets as the July 31 non-waiver cutoff looms.
According to the New York Post's George A. King III, the Yankees scouted ace Johnny Cueto and "had ...
For so many, Alex Rodriguez is providing something close to their worst-case scenario.
There is zero doubt many fans, media members and even those within Major League Baseball—uniformed or not—wanted A-Rod to fall flat on his face in 2015, to resemble the broken-down, washed-up player he was in 2012 and 2013. Only worse.
Ideally for those people irate at the performance-enhancing-drug scandals he has been named in, Rodriguez would have come off his yearlong suspension handed down by former commissioner Bud Selig and been a disaster for the New York Yankees. That ...

The New York Yankees will begin the season's second half atop the American League East, but the division is still very much up for grabs as less than seven games separates first place from last place.
For the first time in a long time, the Yankees have the kind of high-upside prospects that other teams covet, which, along with the club's deep pockets, puts them in a position to go out and acquire whatever they need.
But the club isn't about to part ways with the likes of outfielder Aaron Judge or ...
