Andrew Benintendi, the rent-a-player the Yankees couldn't buy last season, simply didn't want to play in New York - too much pressure, too many mouthy fans for the Midwestern guy - so he signed with the White Sox as a free agent in the off-season.Turns out, New York or Chicago, he'd be playing on a lousy team - although he could have done Yankees fans the ultimate favor by signing and pushing Aaron Hicks off the roster.

Sports Illustrated | Scott Neville: Is there a path that ends with shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa crossing enemy lines and toiling for the BoSox?Neville postulates that there is a natural fit in light of Boston's need for middle infielders and that, despite the rarity of Yankee- Red Sox swaps, Brian Cashman and Chaim Bloom have facilitated one already.

New York Yankees free agent signing Carlos Rodon will begin the 2023 season on the injured list with a left forearm strain.Carlos Rodon will begin the season on the IL with a left forearm strain, Brian Cashman said.Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) March 9, 2023 The injury is particularly disappointing for Rodon.

Yankees fans already knew that the team was going to be a tad shorthanded to start the 2023 campaign.No. 5 starter Frankie Montas underwent shoulder surgery, opening up a rotation battle between Domingo Germán and Clarke Schmidt, and with re-signed reliever Tommy Kahnle concerned about the biceps injury that has kept him out of action early this spring, he looked shaky at best for Opening Day, too.

New York Post | Dan Martin: We heard comments from Aaron Boone about Aaron Hicks and his view of the left field situation.Now, we've heard it from the general manager as well.Brian Cashman said that the outfielder is fully recovered, and that it could be likely he will be the guy in left field instead of a younger player like Oswaldo Cabrera.

I am proud to proclaim myself as the president of the Michael King Fan Club.In my humble opinion, he was one of the most dominant relievers in the game last year when he was on the mound.He attacks hitters with a four-pitch mix - three of those being plus offerings.His seam-shifted wake profile makes for an extremely uncomfortable at-bat, and his ability to command the glove side corner with his running sinker is matched by few pitchers in the league.

Let's start with just saying it; Brian Cashman's not wrong.Winning the division and bowing out in the ALCS isn't a bad season, especially if you believe the bit about losing to the team that eventually wins it all.There is a certain element of randomness to the postseason - in the last ten years, the best team in the regular season has won the World Series just three times, and you're as likely to be bounced in the first round as one of the league's top seeds (2022 Dodgers, 2017 Cleveland) as you are to take the pennant.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball.Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged-in New York Yankees fans, and fans across the country.Sign up here to join Reacts.It's been a pretty awful week at Yankees camp, with players dropping like flies left and right.

2019 was a year full of surprises for the Yankees.It was a team that won 103 games, and was two wins away from reaching the World Series.At certain points, that would have been very hard to believe, as crushing injuries left the team short-handed for significant portions of the season.But many of those who stepped in delivered well beyond expectations, Mike Tauchman being an excellent example of just that.

Clubhouse chemistry is a slippery thing.The Bronx Zoo makes for a good story, but most of the time, good teams end up having good chemistry.The effects seem to be endogenous - does winning just make everyone feel good and get along, or do players that create those feelings actually help you score a lot of runs while not allowing many?

The holiday season was a productive one for the Yankees, who checked re-signing the face of the franchise (Aaron Judge), a second ace (Carlos Rodón), and veteran bullpen depth (Tommy Kahnle) off their shopping list, while also adding a small bundle of stocking stuffers in the form of minor league free agent signings.

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The New York Yankees formally re-introduced superstar outfielder Aaron Judge yesterday morning at Yankee Stadium, as the slugger officially re-signed with the team that drafted him.As part of those proceedings, Hal Steinbrenner made official what everybody anticipated when the news of his nine-year deal broke two weeks ago, naming Aaron Judge the 16th captain of the New York Yankees.

Braves Franchise History
1920 - Lee Magee admits to NL president John Heydler that he tried to throw a game against the Boston Braves while he was with the Reds.Cincinnati eventually won the game in 13 innings.1948 - The Boston Braves acquire outfielder Johnny Wyrostek from the Phillies in exchange for shortstop Eddie Miller.

Sports Illustrated | Max Goodman: The Twins made a deal on Monday for Michael A. Taylor, an intriguing decision given their glut of outfield options at the moment.This decision has stoked the hot stove oven a bit with rumors about Minnesota dealing one of their current options, with the Yankees ' name ever present thanks to their left field situation.

The Hot Stove is heating up for the New York Yankees.For the second day in a row, Brian Cashman is linked to a juicy trade rumor as the general manager looks to fill the void in left field created by Andrew Benintendi, who signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the Chicago White Sox.The Athletic's Jim Bowden reports "the Yankees are exploring trade options, including Bryan Reynolds of the Pirates, and free-agent options such as Jurickson Profar, who would be a good match if the price is right."

The New York Yankees have checked off two big boxes on their offseason to-do list: re-signing Anthony Rizzo and, most importantly, re-signing Aaron Judge.Now, they can move on to other positions, such as starting pitcher, where they are reportedly taking a long hard look at Carlos Rodón, and shortstop, which has a source of controversy since Isiah Kiner-Falefa claimed the starting job last season.
