Kyle West, a 13th-round 2025 pick, is making noise in the Arizona Fall League. He went 3-for-4 with two homers, including a 462-foot blast, after hitting 20 homers with 20 steals at High-A. With Paul Goldschmidt a free agent, first base depth behind Ben Rice gets a name. 💣
Speculation, not a deal: The Athletic's Jim Bowden named the Yankees the top free-agent fit for Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, predicting 2 years, $15.5M. He could share time with Austin Wells or push him for the starting job. 🧢
Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger's reported wedding to Chase Carter is drawing fresh attention after the season ended. The couple never formally announced it, and photos and a social media profile change hint at it. Quiet off-field life, loud lineup presence.
Yankees bench coach Brad Ausmus is reportedly linked to the Astros' managerial opening, so a replacement may be needed. Third base coach Luis Rojas looks like the most realistic internal option, while Jorge Posada seems unlikely for now.
Jorge Posada says he doesn't "feel welcome" around the Yankees and avoids spring training, and the fallout reportedly now points at captain Aaron Judge. Core Four bridge to the past, meet an awkward gap in the bridge. ⚾
Pinstripe Alley's daily slate includes a report card on John Schreiber's stint with the Yankees and a look at offseason keys for the club. Elsewhere, the Rays won Game 4 in 12 innings, trimming the Brewers' World Series lead to 3-1.
Fifteen years after his last Yankees season, Jorge Posada says he doesn't "feel welcome" at Yankee Stadium. The 2011 lineup flap with Joe Girardi still lingers, even with his No. 20 retired and his Core Four status secure. 🧱
Cam Schlittler is set to receive the 2026 AL Cy Young Award, and he has a good shot at landing among the MVP finalists, though winning it is unlikely. Ben Rice (Hank Aaron Award finalist) and Cody Bellinger (Fielding Bible winner) add to the Yankees' hardware chase. 🏆
Joba Chamberlain backed Jorge Posada's claim that he no longer feels welcome with the Yankees. "Says a lot coming from him," he posted on X, adding that "there are some that they love that are still around." Posada's Monument Park status makes it sting. 🧐
Forty years after the Mets' 1986 title, the "Curse of Kevin Mitchell" lives on. Meanwhile, the Yankees have piled up five World Series wins and 27 playoff trips since, including beating the Mets in 2000. Bobby Bonilla, meet Juan Soto. 😏
Royce Lewis is only a floated trade idea, not a reported Yankees target. The Twins infielder hit 15 homers but posted a .667 OPS in 2026, and his position fit is murky, so any cost should stay strictly limited. 🧐
Jim Bowden's three best-fit free-agent landing spots for Jazz Chisholm Jr. are the Padres, Angels and Athletics, all warm-weather teams. Chisholm's down 2026 and defensive miscues make a Yankees reunion look unlikely. 🌴
Jorge Posada says he doesn't feel welcome with the Yankees, even at spring training, and doesn't think they want him back. That makes a return to the coaching staff unlikely, and the way his 2011 finale unfolded still stings. 🧢
Yankees' 2026 All-Prospect Team crowns Yostin Pena Organizational MVP after a .354/.431/.608 run from the DSL to Tampa. Juan Torres, Wilberson De Pena and George Lombard Jr. headline, while Brendan Beck tops the arms. 🌱
Jorge Posada told The Post's "The Show" podcast he doesn't feel welcome around the Yankees, even at spring training: "I don't think they want me there." The Core Four catcher cited his tough final season but gave no specific incident. 🤐
Nolan Arenado's 30-homer, .806 OPS season has him floated as a possible Yankees third-base bridge, but it's only a proposed fit. No talks reported, and Arizona controls the first move. A short-term rental beats paying prospects for a repeat. 🔍
Brewers lefty Robert Gasser faced the minimum through six World Series innings in Game 3, joining only Yankees legend Don Larsen's 1956 perfect game. Gasser's postseason ERA is 0.60, and Larsen's mark stays safely out of reach. 🔒
Another October exit, another Boone debate: Tampa Bay's 4-3 Game 3 win completed an ALDS sweep. Jorge Posada's championship pedigree is the contrast, but he has no managerial record, and Yankees brass still back Boone. 🎯
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Patsy Dougherty, born this day in 1876, might be the first player officially called a "Yankee" (1904 Boston Herald). His 1904-06 stay ended with a fistfight with manager Clark Griffith. Management was not amused. 🥊
Cam Schlittler looks like a Cy Young lock after going 14-6 with a 1.95 ERA, the lowest by a Yankee since Guidry's 1.74 in 1978. Aaron Boone even floated MVP. Winner is revealed Nov. 11; finalists come Nov. 2. 🏆
