**Summary:**In a surprising move, the YES Network announces that long-time Yankees broadcaster John Flaherty will not return for the 2026 season. Known for his calm and insightful commentary, Flaherty's departure leaves a void in the broadcast team, along with the loss of analysts Jeff Nelson and Dave Valle. While David Cone, Paul O'Neill, and Joe Girardi remain, Flaherty's versatility and enthusiasm will be missed. As fans grapple with this change, they look forward to new opportunities for Flaherty, cherishing his years of dedicated service to the Yankees broadcast team.
