Yanks Go Yard: A New York Yankees podcast

The Yankees say they’re prepared for Cody Bellinger to sign elsewhere — but do we actually believe that?

On Yanks Go Yard, we break down the Buster Olney report suggesting the Yankees have moved on from Bellinger, why it feels eerily similar to the Mets’ Pete Alonso trial balloon last offseason, and whether the Yankees can really walk away when the market still hasn’t materialized. We also react to Alex Bregman’s surprise deal with the Cubs, why it gives Scott Boras leverage, and whether rumored pivots to Kyle Tucker or Bo Bichette pass even the slightest smell test.

👇 Are the Yankees done — or just pretending to be?

0:00 Intro: Yankees draw a public line on Bellinger

2:45 Why this feels like leverage, not a breakup

6:10 Buster Olney report & the Pete Alonso comparison

9:30 Bregman to Cubs: Boras gains ammo

14:00 Who is actually bidding against the Yankees?

18:30 Why the Yankees won’t go past 5–6 years

23:00 Killing the “Bellinger loves NY” narrative

28:00 Fake pivots: Kyle Tucker & Bo Bichette

34:30 Why roster construction makes those pivots impossible

40:00 Nico Hoerner rumors & trade reality

45:00 The real issue: flexibility vs square pegs

50:30 Why Freddy Peralta is the only believable move

56:00 Trade market leverage & Yankees prospect depth

1:01:00 What the Yankees *should* do right now

1:06:00 Final thoughts: where this is actually heading

Another Yankees target is gone — and this one feels symbolic.

On LIVE Yanks Go Yard, we react to Edward Cabrera landing with the Cubs, not because he was a must-have ace, but because he represented one of the final non-Bellinger chances for the Yankees to actually do anything this offseason. We break down the risk, the Montas comparisons, and why losing this move hurts more in theory than in practice.

We also dig into the Cody Bellinger stalemate, why talk of an 8-year ask changes everything, and whether the Yankees are stuck at five (maybe six) years — or stuck altogether.

0:24 — Why Cabrera was risky/high reward, and what his loss signals

1:04 — “Are they going to do anything?” Yankees offseason stalls again

1:52 — Bellinger talks: multiple offers, bigger gap, Bichette smoke

4:08 — Grisham money + “did they mess up?” offseason frustration

10:02 — Peralta/Gore market talk + why waiting never helps the Yankees

12:12 — Missed opportunities: bats, bullpen, and value moves

27:47 — Bellinger market slows: teams involved, years/price line in sand

31:18 — Judge timeline + why standing pat feels unacceptable

46:28 — Bullpen panic: options gone, trust issues, arbitration costs

1:02:16 — Wrap-up + “next move will be a surprise”

The Yankees offseason took another wild turn 😬

On today’s LIVE Yanks Go Yard, we break down how Tatsuya Imai landed with the Astros, Kazuma Okamoto went to Toronto, and why this situation couldn’t have gone much worse for the Yankees — especially with Imai making roughly the same annual salary as Marcus Stroman.

We also dive into:

-The Yankees’ reported second offer to Cody Bellinger — are we finally nearing the finish line?

-A possible Edward Cabrera trade pivot

-The Yankees signing Paul DeJong for middle infield depth

-Whether Bo Bichette rumors are even worth taking seriously — or if this is full-blown Bellinger Chaos Theory

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!

00:00 - Intro

03:03 - Latest on Yankees & Cody Bellinger

26:21 - Tatsuya Imai back to Japan?

37:57 - Does Nick Torres signing mean anything?

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

22:06 Wrap & schedule (back Thursday)

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?
