Coming to you live from Tampa, Florida, it’s our first Grapefruit League episode of the 2025 baseball season! This week, Ben Rice stops by to chat with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz. Of course, they discuss the remarkable three–home run game from last year, but Rice also opens up about the confidence that has allowed him to reach this point, and how he plans to take the next steps. Then, Jon is joined by Yankees senior vice president Tony Bruno and Yankees Magazine editor-in-chief Alfred Santasiere III, as the three discuss the upcoming season for the Yankees, as well as the intrigue ahead at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Finally, Brian Richards opens the History Books for a great chapter on some less-than-memorable no-hitters that Yankees pitchers have thrown.
