SEATTLE (AP) — A year ago, the New York Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs a week before the end of the regular season, ending a streak of six consecutive playoff appearances. When I remember what it was like, it feels even better to secure a play-off spot this time with more than a week […]
The Red Sox and Yankees quickly settled last weekend’s controversy, but Aaron Boone made sure he had the final say. Saturday’s Boston-New York game became exciting when Gerrit Cole hit several Red Sox batters. The reigning Cy Young winner also hit Rafael Devers, and there appeared to be an attempt at retaliation when Brayan Bello […]
They’re trying to win the division title, which would give the Yankees a bye into the first round of best-of-three blitzes. That’s important, but not necessarily the deciding factor. Rather, the priority of manager Aaron Boone and the entire management team in the remaining 15 games and more than two weeks of the regular season […]
Mark those last two games with a star. Mark them. These are the circumstances you’ll be in when the calendar flips to October. Late innings. Extra innings. Make a pitch. Make a play. Win a game.

CHICAGO – Nestor Cortes drew criticism from fans for his honest response expressing frustration over his move to the bullpen, but Aaron Boone did not. The Yankees manager said he had no problem with Cortes’ comments on Saturday, in which the left-hander admitted he was “upset” about the move while also saying he felt he […]
ARLINGTON, Texas – You can’t throw away a lead if you never get one. On a day that began with Aaron Boone announcing he would vacate the closer’s role after Clay Holmes blew his 11th save in a crushing loss on Tuesday night, the Yankees never got a chance to figure out who might go […]
NEW YORK – Jazz Chisholm Jr. currently wears Alex Rodriguez’s old No. 13 pinstripe jersey – like Joey Gallo before him – so it seems far-fetched that he would stop wearing A-Rod’s number at some point. But how about putting up a memorial plaque in Monument Park at some point? “Yeah, I’ve thought about it,” […]
