Recapping how the Yankees’ top AL opponents fared on April 24th.
Last night was exactly what the Yankees hoped for when they traded for Juan Soto in December. Both he and Aaron Judge homered, and they got a bomb from another valued slugger in Anthony Rizzo as the A’s fell in the Bronx, 7-3. To be direct: more of this, please! Hell, simply scoring in multiple innings was appreciated.
That’s what went on in the Bronx, but here’s what else...

The 2022 Platinum Glove recipient had a down year defensively by his standards last year, but has once again become the pitch framing king of baseball.
Ever since the Yankees acquired Jose Trevino from the Texas Rangers in the days leading up to Opening Day in 2022, his calling card has been his work behind the plate. On the back of a league-best 17 catcher framing runs and a 53.8-percent strike rate, the veteran catcher took the starting job in early...

Your Thursday open thread.
The first two games of this series with Oakland demonstrated what we already knew about baseball: on any given day, any last-place team can hang with any first-place team. Yesterday, we finally got some welcome catharsis after two tense games, with Aaron Judge going deep and the Yankees easily handling the lowly A’s the way we’d all like them to. They can cinch a series win tonight as they send Nestor Cortes to the mound...

Judge is on the brink; Torres says he’s locked in; Waldman and Cavnar get a chance to connect; new mural featuring legendary Black players
FanGraphs | Jay Jaffe: Aaron Judge’s start to 2024 has been underwhelming. Over the last two seasons, he’s established himself as the best hitter in the game. Expectations are sky high, and for good reason. Jaffe’s thorough analysis of the various aspects of Judge’s offensive profile comes out with a positive...

An offensive outburst and strong bullpen work help the Yankees coast to a win over the A’s.
A big day for Juan Soto, consistent production up and down the Yankees’ lineup, and shutdown bullpen performances helped New York cruise to a 7-3 victory over the Oakland A’s. Thankfully, the Bronx Bombers realized that it was a good strategy to score runs in more than just one inning, denting home plate in five of their eight possible frames on Wednesday...
Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first inning after nearly striking out and the host New York Yankees recorded a 7-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.
Something that the Yankees have desperately needed in this homestand was an impressive offensive showing, and they got exactly what they needed. With seven runs and 11 hits, some slumping Yankee hitters were able to lead the charge against the Oakland Athletics as they were able to pick up their second win in a row.
Maybe this will get Yankees fans off Aaron Judge's back. The 2022 AL MVP blasted home run No. 261 of his career on Wednesday against the A's, passing Yankees legend Derek Jeter on the franchise's all-time home run list.

The Yankees will look to build off yesterday’s victory and tee off against a struggling A’s hurler
After intra-division showdowns against the Blue Jays and Rays, both playoff teams last year, a home series against the lowly Athletics seemed like a welcome soft spot on the schedule. Instead, the first pair of games have been a slog, with the Yankees squeaking out a 4-3 victory last night after getting shut out in game one.
If past performance is any...
Now, someone reading this has no idea who I am (actually, at this point, I think most of the people who might read this do know who I am), but I still want to acknowledge that something affected me last week much more than I thought it would.
The New York Yankees are short-handed in their bullpen, as the injuries have begun to mount for that unit with the likes of Tommy Kahnle, Nick Burdi, Scott Effross, and Lou Trivino all on the IL.

The Yankees bullpen has had some rocky outings already and they need the breakout relief star of 2022 back to his best.
One of if not the biggest strength of the Yankees over the last few seasons has been the bullpen, the unit ranking among the league lead in most run suppression and quality of contact metrics. Thanks to their ability to churn out a seemingly endless conveyor belt of high-leverage arm after high-leverage arm — typically...
This is the fifth and final article in a series that looks at the five best players at each position for the New York Yankees. In this installment are right- and left-handed starters as well as relief pitchers.

A wide variety of offerings are spread around the men on the mound.
When Gerrit Cole landed on the 60-day IL to start the season, there was some uncertainty over the Yankees pitching staff. Luckily for New York, things have been relatively consistent. The rotation had stayed steady, and apart from some shuffling in the back end, the bullpen has remained largely the same, aside from Jonathan Loáisiga going down with elbow surgery and both Tommy...
History says there was a high quality pitching matchup on this day 25 years ago, but offense ended up ruling the day more.
It’s quite likely that there were plenty of people in attendance at Yankee Stadium on April 24, 1999 who had no idea the quality of pitching matchup they were getting that day between the Yankees and Blue Jays. Frankly from the final score, you wouldn’t have though that this would be a battle between two of the best pitchers in each franchise’s history.

The Yankees are counting on 27-year-old second baseman Gleyber Torres to improve significantly after his promising 2023 season. Last year, Torres hit .273/.347/.453, with 25 homers, 68 RBIs, and a 123 wRC+, marking one of his best offensive performances.
Spencer Jones is one of the most exciting prospects the Yankees have had in their organization in recent years, possessing some of the most enticing skills you could imagine.
The Yankees‘ infield situation has been unstable during the early weeks of the 2024 regular season. While Anthony Volpe has been impressive, Gleyber Torres at second base and Anthony Rizzo at first base have both struggled significantly.
