Two notable offseason acquisitions have played their own solid roles in this division-leading effort.
Valid critique or not, the truth is that in recent seasons, the Yankees have quite often gone to the market searching for improvements and on far too many occasions, the results were almost the worst possible outcomes.
They might have been solid players at the time they came to the Bronx, but the likes of Joey Gallo and Josh Donaldson fell off a...

A franchise rookie record 14 strikeouts from Luis Gil and a quartet of Juan Soto hits led the Yankees to another win.
The Yankees got plenty of contributions from all over the place in their relatively comfortable 6-1 win over the White Sox, their sixth in a row. However, the story of the game centered around two players.
At the plate, Juan Soto had been going through his first real slump as a Yankee in recent games. He came into this game having going...

Can Gil continue his impressive run in a start against the ChiSox?
With one win in the books, the Yankees will look to add another series victory to their tally this afternoon. Last night’s 4-2 triumph over the White Sox got a little close for comfort towards the end, but a good start from Nestor Cortes and homers from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton ended up being enough.
In today’s game, Luis Gil will take the mound for the Yankees....
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has impressed many with his recent strong play, including manager Aaron Boone. "He's as good as I've ever seen," Boone…
The Yankees‘ offense has been on a tear recently, and it’s about to get even stronger with the return of DJ LeMahieu, who has just begun a rehab assignment after recovering from a foot injury.
The New York Yankees took Friday's series opener in the Bronx 4-2, fending off the Chicago White Sox' multiple rally attempts. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge homered for the Yankees, while Nestor Cortes escaped multiple jams to keep Chicago off the board.

How A.J. Burnett lived and died by the walk — and what it means for the Yankees’ newest pitching phenom.
When Luis Gil takes the mound this afternoon in Chicago, he’ll do so with a great deal of wind in his sails. The rookie is 4-1 on the season with a sparkling 2.51 ERA, leading Yankees starters in that category as well as strikeout rate and home run rate. The 25-year-old has allowed just one run over his past three starts, going 3-0 with a 0.49...
When the Yankees eventually welcome Gerrit Cole back from injury, they will face a pivotal decision regarding their starting rotation. Currently, Nestor Cortes might seem like the likely candidate to make way, yet his remarkable outing on Friday night highlighted his considerable worth and experienced presence within the team.
Giancarlo Stanton’s performance over the past three years has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows for the Yankees. On his best days, Stanton can single-handedly drive the team’s offense, displaying the kind of power that once made him an MVP with the Miami Marlins.

Trying to draw out a shortstop’s ceiling.
A lot of folks looked to Bobby Witt Jr., who was at least somewhat of a letdown in his first season before a massive coming out party in 2023, as a potential model for Anthony Volpe. Hoping for Volpe to jump from a two-win player to a six-win player might have been a little pie-in-the-sky ... except that FanGraphs Depth Charts is now projecting him for a five-win season all told. As good as Juan Soto...
The Yankees suffered an uncharacteristic loss in Boston, but they did at least get their manager back.
After a tough five-game losing streak, the Yankees finally got back into the win column with a tight 2-1 win over the White Sox. They got a day off to travel to Boston, but they also got some great, unexpected news: Joe Torre would return to the dugout.
Torre missed the first 36 games of the 1999 season after undergoing prostate-cancer surgery in March, ceding his duties to acting...

The Rays saw an unheralded starter carry a perfecto into the eighth, while Baltimore made short work of one of Seattle’s young arms.
The Yankees are on fire right now, but anyone who has paid attention to this space knows that even as they’ve excelled, they haven’t been able to put any space between themselves and the relentless Orioles. The Bombers would seem to have an opportunity this weekend, as they find themselves matched up with the...
