Sonny Gray was a bigger flop in New York than most failed players to sport pinstripes. Ask any Yankee fan who watched him play in the Bronx who their top five worst Yankees are and good chance Sonny Gray will be a top three. Gray was hated in New York, and it turns out he hated being in New York himself.  Since Gray’s trade to the Boston Red Sox, the 36-year-old has bashed the Yankees. Gray recently stated to the Boston Globe  that he never wanted to go to New York in the fir

Thanksgiving is around the corner as we get ready to gather with our family and even some friends to feast and gain another pound or two…or three or four. No matter what you’re eating this Thanksgiving, there will be talking points and with that it is important to keep the conversations civil and non-controversal. Right? WRONG. With that said, here are five very risky and controversial talking topics to bring up this turkey day. The 2025 New York Yankees Collapse  What’s wors

He has such hype and heavy media coverage around him you can comfortably argue the fact he is a household name at only 20-years-old. Lombard won’t be of drinking age till mid season of 2026, but the main question is where will he be drinking that victory champagne? New York has loaded minor league teams from Single-A to Triple, with Lombard listed as their No.1 prospect. The shortstop finished 2025 wi

One of the first moves this offseason for the Mets has them once again looking at players from their cross-state rivals. The New York Mets have signed Jose Rojas to a minor league contract with an expected invite to spring training. Rojas, 32, is coming off of a 2025 season where he belted 32 home runs and dominated Triple-AAA SWB for the Yankees. A .287 batting average with an OPS that nearly hit 1.000 on the season gave Rojas one of the best campaigns of his professional ba

The New York Yankees have had a flurry of pitchers make one-off appearances over the years. The Cuban right-hander of Chi Chi Gonzalez is no exception. In 2022 Gonzalez, whose real name is Alexander Rios Gonzalez, signed a minor league deal with New York after being released by the Tigers in late August of 2022. Gonzalez would spend roughly a month in Triple-AAA SWB before getting called-up to the majors on October 2nd. This late-season roster move gave Chi Chi major league s

Wearing the pinstripes that is the New York Yankees uniform is something that is taken with pride and honor when a player buttons up the historic jersey. When it comes to notable Yankees you think of Jeter, Ruth, Mantle and A-Rod as a few of many. There have been many players that were expected to become big when they arrived in New York, as a product of the Yank’s farm system. Some did become what they were expected to be like Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres. Then you have a

The Yankees will be faced with multiple contract scenarios this offseason surrounding several of their everyday players. This Yankees offseason will be one of the biggest in recent years when it comes to being faced with their lineup and bullpen. New York has 11 total contracts that expire after the 2025 season between UFA’s and players that carry a ‘26 option The biggest question features the Yankees outfield, which is crowded so far this season with Judge-Bellinger-Domingue
