After an offseason that saw the New York Yankees spend money as if it were burning a hole in their pockets, the team currently sits at a modest 23-20 as the season reaches its quarter mark.
While it may be good enough for first in the American League East, it is certainly not a record that reflects well on a team with championship aspirations.
Despite the high payroll and surplus of star power and talent, the Yankees still have holes that could have been addressed in the offseason. Now, general manager Brian ...
Barring unexpected and improbable runs to the World Series by both the New York Yankees and New York Mets, Derek Jeter has played his last game against the crosstown rivals. After 93 games—including five during the 2000 World Series—against New York's National League team, Jeter's Queens farewell is in the books.When the Subway Series began in the summer of 1997, it mirrored the rise of Jeter. Both were young, new and exciting. All these years later, both still have the ability to push the needle in New York, generate a ...
Following Wednesday's dominant outing against the crosstown rival New York Mets, Masahiro Tanaka of the New York Yankees is the first rookie in franchise history to win his first six career decisions since Whitey Ford started 9-0 in 1950, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).
Tanaka was also the first Yankee rookie since Ford to start 5-0 and is now just four wins away from beating the Hall of Famer's record.
Ford concluded his 1950 campaign with a 9-1 record, as his starts were limited due to a July ...
The New York Yankees were forced to move Carlos Beltran to the disabled list (DL) on Thursday due to issues arising from a bone spur in his elbow, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Beltran first felt the spur over the weekend and had a cortisone injection on Tuesday, according to Hoch. For now, Beltran is not heading for surgery, but the option remains if there's no progress.
Beltran first began having problems over the weekend. Initially diagnosed as a hyperextended elbow, an MRI showed the bone spur. Joel Sherman of the New ...

The Chicago Cubs have been trying to deal Jeff Samardzija for the past few years. What are the chances he lands with the Yankees? What internal options do the Yankees have to try to piece together a rotation for a playoff run?

A talented New York Yankees roster has been decimated by injuries early in 2014, and if general manager Brian Cashman is still committed to competing this year he'll have to propose some deadline deals.
There are holes everywhere on this roster—mostly due to injuries. The Yankees could use some help in the middle of the infield, while insurance at the hot corner and maybe even in the outfield would be nice too.
The real issue is the pitching staff. The starting rotation has fallen apart after appearing to be an apparent strength ...
The New York Yankees elected to play it safe with their ace, placing CC Sabathia on the 15-day disabled list due to inflammation in his knee. Sabathia was scheduled to have the knee drained, but while initial expectations were that this was a minor issue being treated conservatively, Sabathia's trip to see Dr. James Andrews complicates things.
The Yankees did say the fluid buildup was not a result of a meniscus tear, which is the most common cause. While this sounds like good news, the question becomes less about what it ...
We can either feel sorry for the New York Yankees, or we can look them in the eye and be honest with them.
You should have been able to see this coming, guys.
For what's happening right now in The Bronx is indeed not the least bit surprising. The Yankees entered 2014 with an expensive roster with a lot of starry names on it, yes. But due to a combination of old age and painful track records, said roster also had a relatively high likelihood of being ravaged by injuries.
The Yankees put ...
Monday evening, the New York Yankees' Alfonso Soriano became the seventh player in major league history to reach 1,000 hits in both the American and National Leagues, per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.
Soriano singled to center field on a 1-2 pitch off of New York Mets starter Bartolo Colon in the bottom of the second inning, then came around to score later in the frame on Brett Gardner’s second career grand slam as the Yankees took a 4-1 lead in the game.
The hit was also Soriano's 1,000th in the American League, and that ...
Over the first three weeks of the 2014 MLB season, it looked as if starting pitching would carry the New York Yankees in the AL East. Since then, the team has lost 60 percent of its Opening Day rotation and faces the reality of pitching without both Michael Pineda and CC Sabathia through the end of May.
New York's rotation, once the strength of the team, has become a major concern. With David Phelps, Vidal Nuno and Alfredo Aceves taking or scheduled to take turns against AL offenses in an offense-friendly ...
