New York Yankees in no position to go 'all-in' this offseason
Watching the San Diego Padres make a few splashy moves serves as another reminder that the New York Yankees can’t go “all-in.” Winning is rarely an inexpensive proposition, and the New York Yankees have rarely – if ever – been bashful when it came to spending what it takes to compete. “Baseball is not just a sport anymore; we are a business,” the late George Steinbrenner once said. “We are show business.
Don't Bother: Blake Snell To The Yankees Will Not Happen
(Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images) The motto may be “anything goes” for the year 2020, but the New York Yankees will not be following along with a Blake Snell trade. The 2020 season ended in despair for the New York Yankees. A nail-biting Game 5 concluded with yet another home run given up by Aroldis Chapman sailing deep into the San Diego night. As this moment transpired, Blake Snell was donning the Tampa Bay Rays logo.
A Decent Future Without DJ LeMahieu Sucks But Not Terrible
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images The New York Yankees still haven’t inked DJ LeMahieu to a multi-year deal. What would happen if they don’t? The New York Yankees should be waking up each morning this offseason with one item on their to-do list: Sign DJ LeMahieu. Instead, it seems they’ve become distracted and are ignoring the real task at hand, much to the dismay of Yankees fans across the world and the joy of various MLB teams drooling over the possibility of snagging the highly coveted second baseman.
Sorry, Haters: The Bronx Likely Hasn't Seen The Last Of Brett Gardner
(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) With the offseason officially here for the New York Yankees, there are questions about the future of Brett Gardner. The Game 5 loss of the New York Yankees to the Tampa Bay Rays is not even a week old and already the rumors are flying regarding the offseason. Trevor Bauer is desperate to play for, well, any team that will take him. What will the Bombers do about potentially losing Masahiro Tanaka and James Paxton?
It's 'Mission Accomplished' For The Yankees, But Now The Eternal Question Lingers
(Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images) The New York Yankees have achieved a playoff berth, but now comes the most difficult part: deciding whether to rest or play your starters. Just a few short weeks ago, injuries had truly taken hold of the New York Yankees. A spot in the playoffs was likely but not promised, with a seven-game losing streak and a frustrating lack of offense from the supposed Bronx Bombers. As of Sept. 20, the Yankees and fans can take a much-needed breath.
'Next Man Up' Mentality Is Now Outdated And Just Embarrassing
(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images) Let’s face it: the New York Yankees are floundering in an already dismal 2020. For now, that “Next Man Up” mentality needs to be put to bed. Man, it was fun while it lasted for the New York Yankees. After starting out 16-6 for the 2020 season, completely dominating their opponents in every sense of the word. And then the bottom fell out. In their last 18 games, the Yankees have posted an abysmal 5-14 record.
New York Yankees: No move was the right move for this trade deadline
(Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images) Many were disappointed the New York Yankees didn’t make a move at the trade deadline. However, no move was the right move in the 2020 season. The 2020 season started out with such promise for the New York Yankees. Poised to easily walk away with a World Series trophy in a shortened season, all the carefully laid plans went downhill very quickly.
Gio Urshela has become the new go-to guy for the New York Yankees
(Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images) From unknown minor league player to unstoppable starting third baseman, Gio Urshela has been a godsend for the New York Yankees. 2020 is a year brimming with questions. It has been nothing short of absurd in all facets of the world with darkness all around. But for the New York Yankees, there have been some impressive bright spots.
New York Yankees: Clint Frazier has another opportunity, but for how long?
(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) Clint Frazier is going to have another chance to prove himself to the New York Yankees, but will it matter in the long run? At the 2016 trade deadline for Major League Baseball, Clint Frazier was the talk of the town. The New York Yankees swiped one of the top prospects in baseball from the Cleveland Indians, giving up Andrew Miller in the process.
Yankees Ace Gerrit Cole Is Worth Every Penny | Bleacher Creatures 62
(Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images) The Yankees Bleacher Creatures podcast delves into just how valuable Gerrit Cole is going to be with the New York Yankees. A couple of intersquad games down and it’s finally feeling like baseball season in the Bronx! For episode 62 of ESNY’s Yankees Bleacher Creatures podcast, James Kelly and Allison Case took time to chat a little bit more about the impact Gerrit Cole is going to have on the New York Yankees this year.
New York Yankees: Brett Gardner brings shred of normalcy with roll call
(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images) With no fans present at these intersquad games, the New York Yankees need some normalcy. Thanks to Brett Gardner, roll call continues. Remember those days when fans adorned every corner of Yankee Stadium? When the lines for a cold Stadium beverage or a good, old-fashioned burger were the only thing keeping you from missing out on some live baseball? Or perhaps the most important thing was getting to your seat in time for the game-time tradition of roll call.
Yankees Commercial Features Aaron Judge As Everyday Superhero
(Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images) It’s that time of year again, friends. The New York Yankees commercials are back! This time, Aaron Judge takes on the role of a superhero. Have no fear! Baseball is back and Aaron Judge is here to save the day! The New York Yankees star right fielder is the center of attention in the latest Yankees commercial. Each year they put together commercials, typically at spring training, to promote the team and their players.
2020 Season Creates Prime Opportunity For Yankees' Aaron Judge
(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) While 60 games may be too few for a baseball season, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge might truly benefit from the shortened year. Hailed the Big Man on Campus, for obvious reasons, Aaron Judge has etched himself into New York Yankees lore after putting together an impressive 2017 rookie campaign. Now, entering 2020, questions loom over whether Judge can remain healthy. Well, the odds are in his favor this season.
Yankees' Past Shows They're Prepared For Successful Shortened Season
(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images) With a 60-game season now around the corner for Major League Baseball, let’s take a look at how this New York Yankees team will stack up. So after weeks of deliberation and months of uncertainty, it appears that Major League Baseball is on the horizon. America’s pastime will be returning to our television screens just in time for the dog days of summer, a time where players are typically worn out and just trying to muddle their way through.
2017 Letter Threatens to Implicate Yankees & MLB In Sign-Stealing Coverup
(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images) It seems the sign-stealing drama is far from over as a federal judge orders the opening of a 2017 letter from MLB to the New York Yankees. 2020 has been a year of surprises and those surprises will not be stopping anytime soon. Except this time instead of laughing at the misfortune of other rival teams, the New York Yankees might have to eat crow.
Yankees Cannot Let Astros' Indiscretions Be Forgotten
(Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images) With the baseball season hanging in the balance, the New York Yankees need to hold onto the motivation they gained this offseason. In 1974, the world got a taste of “A Year Without Santa Claus.” Right now, 2020 might be worse with the possibility of “A Year Without Baseball.” For the New York Yankees, this might be the absolute worst thing to happen to the franchise.
New York Yankees: James Paxton needs to be top priority this offseason
(Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images) This season hasn’t even started and the talk about the 2021 offseason has already engulfed the New York Yankees and James Paxton. The New York Yankees pulled out the stops to bring coveted lefty James Paxton from the coffee capital of the world to the Big Apple back in November of 2018. Now approaching the 2021 offseason, he is going on the open market.
New York Yankees: Postponed season leaves future murky for Brett Gardner
(Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images) While the lack of baseball has been disappointing, it’s even more frustrating for New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner. As the world continues to turn, baseball continues to remain in a hiatus. The New York Yankees are chomping at the bit to get a regular schedule of baseball once again and the timing of that is just uncertain.
Don't bring back half-hearted baseball just because
(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images) The 2020 MLB campaign is still up in the air but proposals are also flying around with ways to begin the season. How about no? Let’s go back to the month of November, when everyone was blissfully unaware of the coming pandemic. Instead, the World Series had just finished up and the Houston Astros were still considered a morally decent team. The clouds parted and the offseason went on to be one of the most exciting in the history of Major League Baseball.
What a shortened season means for the New York Yankees bullpen
(Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images) With all signs pointing to a significantly shorter season for the New York Yankees and MLB, it could be both good and bad for the bullpens. Three things in life are guaranteed: death, taxes and New York Yankees baseball. Right now, that third option is uncertain, the possibility of an Opening Day still lingering in the air.
Gleyber Torres And His Defense Are Not A Major Concern
(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images) This baseball postponement has given New York Yankees fans a lot to think about, including Gleyber Torres and his defense. There’s no specific timetable as to when Opening Day for the New York Yankees will be. With that said, the focus is primarily on the negatives surrounding the season. There’s so much uncertainty and sometimes that carries over to the status of the starting lineup.
Postseason Games Worth A Second Watch In Quarantine
The New York Yankees blessed the world with a plethora of postseason games to replay over the years. ESNY just helped by breaking down which ones are worth a second watch in quarantine. Once upon a time, there was a sport called baseball. Remember it? It was a sport the New York Yankees absolutely dominated since 1913 and even prior to that with a different name.
New York Yankees: Best games to watch while social distancing
With the baseball season in flux, nobody knows when (or if) the New York Yankees’ season will officially begin. So how do we watch baseball until then? We have some ideas. New York Yankees baseball has not been played for 148 days. That is 148 days of pure silence. No bat making contact with the baseball on its trek out of the ballpark. No pop of the glove as it meets the baseball on a laser throw to first. No smooth slides into home.
New York Yankees: Rosell Herrera latest unknown turning heads at camp
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images With spring training well underway in Tampa, the New York Yankees have gotten an impressive glimpse of non-roster invitee Rosell Herrera. There are several appeals to spring training for fans. For the New York Yankees, it’s a chance to catch a glimpse of the biggest stars in the game and being able to witness that greatness up close and personal.
New York Yankees SP J.A. Happ emerges as a vital piece to the rotation
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images J.A. Happ is an irreplaceable member of the starting rotation after recent injuries. The New York Yankees are all-in on the southpaw. When the New York Yankees snagged J.A. Happ from the Toronto Blue Jays midway through the 2018 season, they found another lefty to shore up their rotation and make waves. And boy, did Happ deliver in his first stint in the Bronx.
There Will Be A Time To Panic Over Yankees Injuries, But It's Not Now
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images With the panic setting in over injuries at this early stage in the season, have no fear! This New York Yankees season will be different. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the word “overreact” as “to react to something too strongly.” That term is actually a verb to define the entirety of the New York Yankees fanbase, especially when it comes to injuries.
Scott Boras Back In Spotlight With Redundant James Paxton 'Update'
(Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images) The injury bug claims its first victim for the New York Yankees in James Paxton. Not to be out of the spotlight, Scott Boras chimes in. Signing Gerrit Cole was a huge move for the New York Yankees. Just a few days before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, the Yankees rotation took a major hit when it was announced that lefty James Paxton underwent back surgery.
Gary Sanchez is 'super excited' to work with Gerrit Cole
Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images Gerrit Cole is officially a New York Yankees starter. Now that he’s arrived, more than just the fans are excited to get down to business. Gerrit Cole signed a record-breaking contract with the New York Yankees before Christmas, and yet, that still wasn’t the biggest thing to happen this offseason. No, the highlights revolved around his former team. But with mere days before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, it’s all become incredibly real.
With The Yankees, Tyler Wade Will Always Be In The Shadows
Tyler Wade has been bouncing between the minors and the New York Yankees for years now. Does he have a future in the Bronx? Easily the most eligible bachelor on the New York Yankees, Tyler Wade is far more than a pretty face. He might just be the whole package. A speed demon? Check. Smooth on the base paths? Double-check. Reliable defensive player? Check again. A lefty batter? Okay, this is just getting ridiculous.
Nolan Arenado to the New York Yankees: An impossible pipe dream
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images Rumors are running rampant surrounding the New York Yankees and superstar Nolan Arenado. Sure, you can dream, but it just can’t happen. The New York Yankees have done it before with various players. See, most recently, Giancarlo Stanton in 2017. Whenever a big name emerges on the trade market, the Yankees are obviously (and sometimes inexplicably) linked. So the second Nolan Arenado’s name popped up, eyes lit up around the Yankees fanbase.
4 Yankees Players Who Have Much To Prove In The 2020 Season
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images The hype is all too real surrounding the New York Yankees for 2020, but several players on the team need to prove themselves. Thankfully, the Houston Astros scandal has kept the majority of Major League Baseball occupied during this long stretch of the offseason. The New York Yankees may be enjoying the downfall of their enemies, but they are also getting their troops in line for the 2020 season.
WATCH: Texas Cops Mock Houston Astros With Hilarious PSA [VIDEO]
While all of baseball is poking fun at the Houston Astros for their cheating scandal, a police department in Texas took it one step further. At this point, instead of being angry at the Houston Astros for cheating, why not just poke some fun at it? That’s exactly what the Southlake, TX Department of Public Safety did on Thursday afternoon. They took a page out of the New York Yankees‘ handbook and went straight savage.
New York Yankees players can taunt the Astros, but under one condition
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images With all the news emerging regarding the cheating Houston Astros, the New York Yankees have responded in their own entertaining ways. In the middle of January, before the 2020 season has even begun, the entire baseball world is in shambles. With one nine-page report, the Houston Astros have become public enemy to everyone in Major League Baseball, not just the New York Yankees.
New York Yankees: Chicago Cubs considering signing Jacoby Ellsbury (Report)
The New York Yankees cut loose some dead weight in Jacoby Ellsbury but he might be drawing interest from a National League team. Yes, you all read that right; a team is interested in Jacoby Ellsbury, who was just released by the New York Yankees. A team. A baseball team. In the sport of Major League Baseball. Man, this has definitely been a pretty weird week. Per Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Chicago Cubs have expressed interest in the prospect of getting Jacoby Ellsbury for the 2020 season.
Major League Baseball Abuzz With New Houston Astros' Cheating Rumors
(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) Just three days after the Houston Astros were slapped with heavy penalties for their illegal sign-stealing scheme, Major League Baseball fans have taken to Twitter with new evidence for an old rumor.

Temper your expectations for the New York Yankees' 2020 rotation
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images With the New York Yankees acquisition of Gerrit Cole this offseason, it was proclaimed that the rotation might be one of the best in the business.

The New York Yankees have knocked on the door of the Fall Classic multiple times in the past few years, but are just awaiting the opportunity for their official breakthrough.
Mike Tauchman proved his New York Yankees worth entering 2020
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images Despite the superstars hogging the headlines, Mike Tauchman has, without a doubt, proved his New York Yankees worth entering the 2020 season. The moment the pinstripes are thrown on is the second the word “underrated” goes out the window. The New York Yankees ooze so much success that it’s hard to imagine anyone on that team being considered an underdog.
New York Yankees: Aaron Boone provides promising Miguel Andujar update
(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images) With all the trade talk surrounding Miguel Andujar and the New York Yankees, there is finally some positive talk about the young third baseman.

Aaron Boone let this news slip on MLB Network Radio, as reported by Jon Morosi.
A New York Yankees decade (2010-2019): A failure, yet not completely lost
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images While New York sports are glad to see this decade draw to a close, the Yankees were able to salvage a little bit of respect. In what has been hailed as a lost decade for New York sports, the 2010s were not friendly in terms of doling out championships. The New York Yankees were certainly not innocent in this matter, but they also weren’t entirely the problem. The Giants were the lone victor, coming away with a Super Bowl victory in the 2011 season.
New York Yankees: Arbitration might force Dellin Betances to jump ship
With Dellin Betances and the New York Yankees heading for an arbitration hearing, they might just be pushing their reliever out the door sooner rather than later. The New York Yankees are entering uncharted territory with one of their prized bullpen pieces. In his first year of arbitration-eligibility, Dellin Betances found himself at odds with the Yankees… Odds equating to $2 million dollars.
New York Yankees remain interested in Josh Hader (Report)
Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images The New York Yankees have already gotten their “white whale” but recent reports have confirmed they are still in the running to potentially land Josh Hader. What? You thought Cashman Claus was done? The New York Yankees expressed interest in adding All-Star reliever Josh Hader to their bullpen when it first became clear the Milwaukee Brewers were listening to offers.
New York Yankees officially re-enter Evil Empire mode via Gerrit Cole
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images The New York Yankees have officially re-entered Evil Empire mode through the signing of their white whale, ace Gerrit Cole. In 2017, the New York Yankees were on the cusp of yet another World Series performance. Faltering in Game 7 of the ALCS, a big move was needed to propel them into future glory. When the 2018 offseason rolled around, Giancarlo Stanton and his massive contract came to the Bronx—despite the lack of an actual need in the outfield at the time.

All I Want For Christmas Is You
New York Yankees' staple Brett Gardner may be the last of his kind
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images With the New York Yankees inking Brett Gardner to a one-year deal, it has become clear that he means something special to this organization. If the 2019 season didn’t make it clear, New York Yankees’ outfielder Brett Gardner brings an important skill set to the table for the Bronx Bombers. He may be a 36-year-old ancient relic patrolling an outfield that consists of young superstars. He may be a career .260 hitter for the Yankees.
Clint Frazier isn't your stereotypical New York Yankees professional and it's OK
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images With all the ups and downs of Clint Frazier’s New York Yankees career, it’s clear he’s different, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The spotlight has been burning into Clint Frazier ever since his arrival from the Cleveland Indians in the Andrew Miller trade in 2016. The New York Yankees outfielder immediately became the next big thing. And then there was the attitude. The request for a haircut. The questions over No. 7 on his jersey.
New York Yankees Make An Offer To Gerrit Cole [REPORT]
The hot stove is sizzling as sources reveal the details behind Gerrit Cole’s potential offer from the New York Yankees. The entire baseball world is waiting with bated breath to see where ace Gerrit Cole will wind up.

According to Bob Klapisch of the New York Times, the Yankees have put together a record-breaking offer to have Cole join them in the Bronx.

(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images) While Brian Cashman and Hal Steinbrenner steal all the attention, it’s about time the New York Yankees are recognized for their powerhouse executive, Jean Afterman. It’s one small step for the sport of baseball. Oh, who are we kidding? This is one giant step for women in the sports industry.
Save some 'thanks' for the 2019 New York Yankees
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images It’s so easy for emotions to get carried away when it pertains to the New York Yankees. With Thanksgiving here, maybe it’s time to be thankful for a pretty stellar 2019 campaign. Gather ’round the table and let’s tell a little tale of the New York Yankees and their fans. After we say grace, of course. It’s Thanksgiving day. Yet another year in which we gather among relatives with differing political opinions who have had a little too much to drink.
New York Yankees: Giancarlo Stanton is not the next Jacoby Ellsbury
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images The New York Yankees tossed Jacoby Ellsbury to the side, which means fans will now unfairly get all over Giancarlo Stanton. The similarities are there. You would have to be completely blind to not see them. Back in the tail end of 2013, the New York Yankees received what they believed to be a steal, snagging Jacoby Ellsbury on a seven-year, $153 million deal from the clutches of free agency. We all know how that turned out.
Yankees Fans Should Be Saying Goodbye To Miguel Andujar This Offseason
ESNY Graphic, Getty Images The New York Yankees have a plethora of infielders at their disposal, including a few in the minor league system. The time is now to trade Miguel Andujar. Record holder for most doubles as a rookie. Runner-up for the 2018 American League Rookie of the Year. Team leader in batting average and hits in 2018. That wraps up one hell of a rookie season for New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar. Then, tragedy struck.
