Locked On Yankees - Daily Podcast On The New York Yankees

New York Yankees lock in key pitching depth as Ryan Yarbrough returns on a team-friendly deal. Are the Bronx Bombers setting up for bigger moves as the offseason heats up? Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon break down how Yarbrough’s versatility strengthens the rotation and bullpen, what it means for high-profile names like Marcus Stroman, and why this low-cost signing could keep New York in the Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger sweepstakes.

The conversation heats up with a look at the newly released 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot—featuring Carlos Beltran, Alex Rodriguez, and a class so underwhelming it may force the Veterans Committee’s hand. Plus, updates on Jason Dominguez’s Dominican League stint and Josh Naylor’s surprising five-year Mariners contract.
