The Yankees insist they’re not losing Cody Bellinger the way they lost Juan Soto... but fans aren’t buying it. Adam Weinrib & Thomas Carannante break down why the confidence exists, what Scott Boras signals really mean, and why panic may be premature.

Plus, the Yankees quietly add Mexican League MVP Nick Torres, and somehow people are mad. Is he a future feel-good story or a total non-factor?

Live Yankees talk, roster logic, front office signals, and fan sanity checks... this is Yanks Go Yard!

The New York Yankees may or may not be finalists for Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai - and, if they are, Aaron Boone has no idea if they're meeting him. Regardless, Paul Blackburn's back, and the Yankees remain relentlessly addicted to signing people who were already here last year.

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante of Yanks Go Yard discuss the latest rumblings, plus the Chicago White Sox giving slugger Munetaka Murakami a place to land and the Boston Red Sox getting better again in the form of Willson Contreras.

Are the Yankees actually out on starting pitching — or are we being played by agents again? On this episode of Yanks Go Yard, Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante dig into conflicting reports around the Yankees’ pursuit of a starter, including Jack Curry’s skepticism, Michael King’s contract asks, and mounting buzz linking the Yankees to Japan’s Tatsuya Imai.

The guys also react to the bizarre Luke Weaver saga, the Mets’ growing obsession with former Yankees targets, and ask the uncomfortable question no one wants to answer: is the Yankees bullpen quietly a disaster?

Amed Rosario back at $2.5M is tidy business for the Yankees—bench with intent, lefty masher, multi-positional cover. But… it’s mid-December and the “new” faces are mostly old friends (Grisham, Yarbrough, Hill). We break down the realistic paths from here: Cody Bellinger (and why L.A. keeps popping up), Kyle Tucker timing, the very real Michael King pursuit, fresh Tatsuya Imai chatter, and why Merrill Kelly’s price/tag always screamed D-backs return. Plus: what an actually credible rotation/lineup build looks like without blowing up the farm.

💬 Comment below: Are the Yankees making smart, patient moves… or playing it way too safe?

00:00 Cold open (Derek Jeter tag)

00:09 Why Rosario back at $2.5M is “bench with intent”

01:09 Frustration check: familiar faces vs real upgrades

03:34 Bellinger timing, Tucker wait, Dodgers hints

06:15 Is Belli a true #2 bat or a pricey “nice piece”?

08:18 If not Belli: Kwan/Durán trade lanes & timeline

09:43 Pitching market reality: Kelly re-ups; prices rising

10:48 Michael King watch: fit, contract lanes, comp picks

12:45 Imai rumblings resurface: leverage or legit path?

14:10 Gore vs reality: strikeouts, ERA, upside vs fit

16:00 Building a rotation without a $200M ace add

18:10 2022 scars: losing “eraser” innings & playoff fallout

20:50 What likely happens next + viewer 3-move challenge

The Mets are somehow stealing the headlines again... losing Edwin Díaz over $3M, letting Pete Alonso walk to a division rival, and pretending everything with Lindor/Soto is fine. Meanwhile, rumors say they’re ready to outbid the Yankees for Cody Bellinger… seriously?

And the Yankees? Still quiet.

Is Brian Cashman lining up a real blockbuster, or is this another offseason of “monitoring the market”?

Adam and Thomas break down every angle LIVE.

The Winter Meetings are here — and, as usual, the Yankees are sitting in neutral while their rivals get aggressive. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down where the rumors stand, what Brian Cashman actually said, and the heartbreak of another Don Mattingly Hall of Fame snub.

Topics covered:

⚾ Red Sox circling Ketel Marte, Yariel Rodriguez moves — while Yankees stand pat

⚾ Joel Sherman’s “moderate optimism” piece: Hal Steinbrenner will spend now, but dreams of payroll relief after 2028 (yay?)

⚾ Cashman’s Winter Meetings quotes: “We’re too left-handed right now” + “Thank God we brought in a lot of inventory last deadline” — not exactly inspiring words

⚾ Donnie Baseball denied again: just six votes, still short of Cooperstown

⚾ What’s more likely this week — a Yankees splash addition or a shocking trade departure (Jazz?)

💬 Comment below: What’s your confidence level heading into the Winter Meetings — optimistic, frustrated, or numb?

Devin Williams to the Mets. Of course. The reliever who helped derail the Yankees’ division chase signs a three-year, $50M deal across town — and Sonny Gray somehow found a way to make his Red Sox intro even weirder.

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break it all down:

⚾ Why the Yankees were right not to match Williams’ deal despite the Mets hype

⚾ The real story behind Williams’ 2024 meltdown and how he might (barely) bounce back

⚾ Sonny Gray’s bizarre “I’m more Boston than anywhere else” line and his long-running obsession with rewriting Yankees history

⚾ Why the Red Sox media are suddenly acting like Gray didn’t collapse in pinstripes

⚾ Jack Curry’s comments on Cody Bellinger’s future — and why it’s officially time to worry after the Grisham QO

💬 Comment below: Are you glad the Yankees passed on Devin Williams, or did they miss their chance?

The Blue Jays just won’t stop. Toronto lands Dylan Cease on a $210M deal, putting even more pressure on the Yankees to make a move — and the ripple effects could reshape the AL East.

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down the madness:

⚾ Why the Blue Jays’ Cease signing means they’re not done — and what it says about their priorities (Bichette vs. Tucker)

⚾ The Yankees’ position in the Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger markets — and why every reporter seems to disagree

⚾ ESPN exec poll has Yankees pegged as Tucker’s likely destination — while WFAN says it’s “extremely likely” Bellinger returns

⚾ Red Sox land Sonny Gray — fine move, not terrifying yet

⚾ Juan Soto & Francisco Lindor’s supposed “feud”: real tension or offseason clickbait?

⚾ Yankees rumored in on Sandy Alcantara again (thanks, Jim Bowden)

💬 Comment below: Which team do you trust more right now — the Blue Jays or the Yankees?

The Yankees just had their harshest deadline day in years, cutting multiple bullpen arms and officially closing the book on one of Brian Cashman’s worst trades. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down who’s out, who’s safe, and what it all means heading into the next phase of the offseason.

Key topics:

⚾ Yankees non-tender Mark Leiter Jr., Ian Hamilton, Jake Cousins, and surprisingly Scott Effross

⚾ What freeing up five 40-man spots means for the next few weeks

⚾ Intriguing non-tender options available: Adolis Garcia, Jonah Heim, Ramon Urias, Gregory Santos, and more

⚾ Corey Seager rumors — real or noise? After the Semien-Nimmo swap, is a 6/$189M trade fantasy or an opportunity?

⚾ Tatsuya Imai meetings reportedly being set up — despite Cashman not knowing his name 🤦‍♂️

💬 Comment below: What was the most shocking Yankees move from deadline day?

The Yankees’ offseason just took a turn nobody saw coming — Trent Grisham accepted the $22M qualifying offer. Now the fanbase is divided, the budget looks tight, and the plan? Impossible to predict.

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down what Grisham’s return really means:

⚾ The fan reaction meltdown — from “Yankees are cooked” to “Hal might finally go nuclear”

⚾ Does this move take the Yankees out on Bellinger, or does it confirm they’re “all in”?

⚾ Mark Feinsand backs up Cashman’s comments: “New York is the clear favorite to sign Bellinger”

⚾ How Grisham’s no-trade clause until June 15 affects roster flexibility

⚾ The Domínguez vs. Spencer Jones dilemma — who’s trade bait now?

⚾ Could we see a Domínguez trade for a controllable starter instead of an Imai signing?

💬 Comment below: What’s your confidence level in the Yankees’ offseason plan right now?
