Cashman agrees to new Yankees deal, with final language still pending

Brian Cashman confirms an agreement to remain general manager. The contract is not yet official and its terms are undisclosed. Keeping the leadership puts the offseason's roster decisions under a sharper light.

Reported news · Yankees

Boone reportedly returns in 2027

Keeping the manager is one decision. Explaining how the team improves is another. The contract history and the new report should not be conflated.

Opinion · Yankees accountability

Boone has had enough Octobers. The Yankees need a real reset.

Nine seasons without a championship, a three-game sweep by Tampa Bay and a postseason roster built around too many compromised bets make continuity the indefensible choice.

Yankees · ALDS Game 2

Schlittler gets the ball. The Yankees need more than belief.

Cam Schlittler starts ALDS Game 2 with New York down 1-0 and Aaron Judge off the roster. His road numbers invite confidence. Freddy Peralta's finish demands respect.

Yankees · After the final

Rasmussen dominated. Wells made the Yankees' one opening disappear.

Tampa Bay took ALDS Game 1 by a 1-0 score. Drew Rasmussen struck out 10 and carried a no-hit bid into the eighth; Austin Wells broke it up, then ignored a stop sign and was thrown out at third.

Opinion · Cooperstown Court

Bobby Abreu belongs in Cooperstown. His quiet greatness is the point.

Abreu's 30.8 percent vote share understates an unusually durable combination of on-base skill, extra-base power and speed. The objections are real. Our verdict is still yes.

MLB · Yankees-Red Sox

Roman Anthony absent from Red Sox Game 2 lineup against Yankees

Anthony left the Wild Card Series opener with right hand discomfort. Boston's posted Game 2 lineup does not include him as the Red Sox try to avoid elimination at Yankee Stadium.

Opinion · Yankees fans

A rain check is not a seat at CC Sabathia's ceremony

The Yankees were right to plan around dangerous weather. Their ticket solution still leaves the fans who bought Saturday for Sabathia's number retirement without the experience they paid to attend.

AL East · Postseason

The Yankees delayed the party. The Rays held it anyway.

New York won the opener 2-0, then managed one run in a 6-1 nightcap loss. Tampa Bay clinched the AL East, while the Yankees secured a home Wild Card Series.

Yankees · AL East and injury update

The Yankees gained a game. Judge's October outlook got tougher.

New York shut out Tampa Bay 2-0 in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. The AL East gap is five games, while Aaron Boone says Judge is not expected for a potential Wild Card Series.

Yankees · AL East race

The Yankees have four games to keep the AL East alive. Two come today.

Tampa Bay needs one win in the four-game series to clinch the division. New York is already in the postseason, but its only route to the AL East title begins with a split doubleheader in the Bronx.

MLB · Postseason race

Six teams are in. The last week still has four real races.

Boston joined the postseason field and Atlanta won the NL East on Sunday. The Yankees are safely in, but their likely October opponent and the remaining division races are not settled.

Yankees · Player development

Ben Rice was a late-round pick. His bat was not a secret forever.

The Yankees hitter is one homer from 40. His route from Dartmouth explains the surprise—and the scouting record shows why calling him an unknown misses the point.

Yankees · Pitching and awards

Schlittler’s rise deserves more than an overnight-success label.

The path from Northeastern to the Yankees’ rotation includes evidence that predates his major-league breakthrough. His current season demands a serious awards discussion, not a coronation.
