We’ve been waiting to release this one for a while; as excited as all of us are to have Carlos Rodón on the mound for the Yankees, we also are thrilled to get to post this exclusive interview with the stud southpaw. On his New York Yankees Official Podcast debut, Rodón talks with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about mustaches, the free agent process, and his awesome pitching arsenal. Afterward, Jon and Yankees Magazine editor in chief Alfred Santasiere III discuss Al’s two features in the July issue: a piece about Rodón and another about Harrison Bader.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s baseball journey is plenty unique. He’s a relative of Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, and one of very few players to hail from Hawaii. But the most interesting thing about the Yankees’ do-it-all utility player is the way that he talks about his role on the 2023 Yankees. Brought to town last year to be the starting shortstop, these days, he’s much more likely to be found in the outfield or even on the pitcher’s mound. In a bracing and deeply honest conversation with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, Kiner-Falefa explains his goal to be the best utility player possible, and why that’s not faint praise. Plus, Yankees Magazine executive editor Nathan Maciborski stops by to chat about HOPE Week and a special 40th anniversary story about Dave Righetti’s July 4, 1983, no-hitter.

We’ve got Tommy Kahnle in the podcast studio this week, and energy is high. We repeat: Energy is high. The reliever chats about his hobbies, the joy he takes from fooling hitters with his changeup, and his divorce from a certain Philadelphia football team. But mostly, he discusses the enthusiasm he brings to the clubhouse, and why he believes it helps make everyone around him better.

Last year, Wandy Peralta became the first Yankee in history to pitch in all five games of a Division Series. And when the left-hander stopped by our podcast studio, he showed off a more serious side than fans are used to seeing on the mound, where the Dominican Republic native is known for his hilarious and absurd facial expressions. But there was also plenty of laughter, plenty of good cheer from a guy who says that his job is just as much about making sure that everyone around him is happy and relaxed as it is pitching perfect innings. His chat with Jon Schwartz (and Yankees bilingual media relations coordinator Marlon Abreu) is an awesome window into a true original.

Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka insists that he has a killer instinct, but when he stopped by our podcast studio, he showed the same chill, cool, uber-California style that Yankees fans and teammates have gotten to know for years. The longest-tenured member of the organization, Higashioka chats with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the team’s pitching staff, the very different joys of catching a no-hitter and hitting three homers in a game, and so much more. Then, Al Santasiere and Nate Maciborski join to discuss the team’s scorching run over the past few weeks, including some walk-off heroics from May cover star Anthony Volpe.

When Jose Trevino arrived in Tampa last April, the move was met with almost zero fanfare. A year later, he’s coming off an All-Star season that saw him mash countless huge hits and earn the American League’s Platinum Glove.

Plus, the editors discuss the season’s first month, with a special focus on the May cover star, Anthony Volpe.

This week, Yankees vice president of player development Kevin Reese stops by to give his view of the entire organization from the top down.
