It’s a brand-new season of the New York Yankees Official Podcast, and we have much to discuss! Joining Yankees Magazine deputy editor is new co-host, Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network. But Meredith isn’t the only new face (or at least new voice) that we’re hearing from this week. Jon sits down with Max Fried, who signed with New York this past offseason and is looking to play a key role in leading the team back to the World Series. A champion in Atlanta in 2021, Fried — who started the clincher in the Fall Classic — talks about living the cliché of big-league life, his excitement about pitching in New York, and much more. Join us all season as we take you deep inside the Yankees’ clubhouse!

It’s the second season finale of the New York Yankees Official Podcast, and before we raise the curtain on the 2025 season, we have one more great episode to close out the spring. Yoendrys Gómez might not be a household name yet, but he has been on the Yankees’ prospect list for years, and this past offseason, as he tells Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, he did something no Yankees big leaguer ever has before. Gómez graduated from the team’s Dominican Academy, walking in the ceremony and receiving his high school diploma; while several of his teammates have done this before, none has while appearing on the 40-man roster. Gómez and Schwartz talk all about the Yankees’ Dominican operation, plus the pitcher’s goals for 2025. Then Yankees Magazine executive editor Nathan Maciborski zooms in to chat about World Series grand slams and some other stories coming in the team’s official 2025 Yearbook. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator opens the History Books for a great lesson on Luis Arroyo.
