For the first and only time, we’ll say this: We kind of hope you’re listening to this on a bad day. Because the world contains no greater medicine for the blues than a bit of time with Oswaldo Cabrera. The Yankees infielder, who endured a devastating and horrifying injury last year, is working his way back to form as the season dawns, and this week, he chats with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits about the fateful night, his recovery, and the meaning behind the Venezuela cap he keeps close at hand. Then, Meredith and Yankees Magazine’s Jon Schwartz chat about the 2026 World Baseball Classic, and also put a bow on spring training, as the Yankees get ready to embark on another World Series quest.

Don’t forget, the New York Yankees Official Podcast is also available in video form on the Gotham Sports App. Check us out! And if you have questions you’d like Meredith to get answers to, send them to [email protected].
