Posada says the Yankees don't make him feel welcome, but Andy Pettitte's role cuts against the "Core Four shut out" story. As special assistant to Brian Cashman, he mentors Cam Schlittler and works with pitchers at Yankee Stadium. Not exactly exiled. 🔍
Opinion: the Yankees should make a serious push to re-sign Jazz Chisholm Jr. but cap the bidding. He hit .231/.312/.399 with 19 HR and 41 SB in 2026, down from an .813 OPS in 2025, and Luis Garcia Jr. and Anthony Volpe are floated as alternatives at second.
Ben Rice's bat leveled up again (41 homers, .897 OPS in 2026), but a first base/DH logjam with Garcia Jr., Stanton and Judge means his glove is next. Full-time first base in 2027 could hinge on defensive growth. 🧤
