Red Sox trade Alex Verdugo to Yankees for three pitchers

The Yankees acquired outfielder Alex Verdugo from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night, with New York turning to the 27-year-old to improve its offense in just the eighth trade between the rivals since the start of the Divisional Era in 1969. The Red Sox received right-handers Richard Fitts, Greg Weissert and Nicholas Judice in the deal. Verdugo spent the last four seasons in Boston after joining the Red Sox as the main return in the trade that sent star outfielder Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Verdugo, who is arranged to make around $9 million in his final season of arbitration, hit .264/.324/.421 with 13 home runs and 54 RBIs […]

Luis Severino goes from Yankees to Mets with $13M deal

Right-hander Luis Severino and the New York Mets on Wednesday agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract, sources told ESPN, sending the longtime Yankee to a Mets team that plans to spend its winter upgrading a depleted rotation. Severino, 29, had spent all of his eight-year career with the Yankees, including a rough 2023 in which he posted a 6.65 ERA over 89⅓ innings. Still, the free agent market has set the price of veteran starting pitchers at $10 million-plus a year — and Severino’s past success bought him slightly more. Over his first seven seasons with the Yankees, Severino was highly effective when healthy. He […]

Padres’ Blake Snell, Yankees’ Gerrit Cole win Cy Young Awards

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell collected his second Cy Young Award on Wednesday, this time in the National League, while New York Yankees hurler Gerrit Cole took home his first award unanimously after twice coming in second and finishing in the top five three other times. Snell became the seventh player — and second left-hander — to earn the award in each league, joining Gaylord Perry, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay and Max Scherzer. He previously won the AL Cy Young while a member of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018. “It feels amazing,” Snell said. “It definitely feels good and I’m trying to enjoy this […]

Boone knows his future with Yankees is ‘out of my hands’

Despite a contract that runs through 2024, with a club option for 2025, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated Monday that he does not know if he will be invited back for next season. The Yankees are a disappointing 79-77 after Monday’s 6-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, and they were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday. The .506 winning percentage is not only the worst of Boone’s six-year tenure, it is the club’s worst since a .469 mark in 1992. “No, I don’t worry about it,” Boone told reporters Monday when asked about his job security. “It’s out of my hands. I’m completely comfortable […]

Aaron Judge hits grand slam to help Yankees beat Red Sox 8-5 for doubleheader split

Aaron Judge hit a grand slam, DJ LeMahieu broke an eighth-inning tie with an RBI double, and the New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 8-5 on Thursday night to split a doubleheader. Oswald Peraza hit his first career homer, a two-run shot in the ninth for the Yankees (74-73), who won three of four at Boston to draw even with their rival at the bottom of the AL East. “Incredible moment right there for me. We wanted those runs in that inning,” Peraza said through a translator. “To be able to come through and connect there was incredible. We were able to win the series which […]

Yankees place OF Jasson Dominguez on IL with torn UCL

As expected, the New York Yankees placed top prospect Jasson Dominguez on the 10-day injured list Monday. Dominguez, 20, has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and is expected to have Tommy John surgery. Dominguez was scratched from Sunday’s game versus Milwaukee with inflammation in the elbow. Reconstructive surgery would sideline the switch-hitting center fielder for a minimum of six months. “The plan is to go through surgery as soon as possible and try to recuperate as soon as possible,” Dominguez said Sunday, per CBS News in New York.

Rays brush off ‘a last-place team,’ top Yanks after benches clear

Brandon Lowe homered and drove in four runs as the American League wild-card-leading Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 7-4 in a contentious matchup on Sunday and kept the road team winless in the series since June. Benches and bullpens emptied twice in the eighth inning after one of five hit batters, but no punches were thrown, and the Yankees lost their eighth consecutive series rubber game. “Looking at it in a different view, it’s a last-place team,” Lowe said. “We don’t need to worry about it. We need to focus up on what we need to do down the stretch. If they lose […]

Yankees lose 8 in row for first time since 1995 as Justin Turner leads Red Sox to 6-5 win

An overturned call at the plate in the eighth inning led to the latest loss in what’s become the New York Yankees’ worst season in decades. The Yankees extended a losing streak to eight for the first time in 28 years, allowing Justin Turner’s ninth-inning go-ahead double in a 6-5 defeat to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. “We got to be unbelievable the rest of the way,” manager Aaron Boone stated after the Yankees dropped to 60-64 and fell nine games behind Seattle for the AL’s last wild card spot. New York appeared to break a 5-5 tie in the eighth when Isiah […]

Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán throws 1st perfect game since 2012. It’s the 24th in MLB history

Since arriving in the big leagues six years ago, Domingo Germán has been anything but perfect. Until now. The New York Yankees right-hander pitched the 24th perfect game in major league history Wednesday night, retiring every Oakland batter in an 11-0 triumph over the Athletics. It was the first perfect game since Seattle Mariners ace Félix Hernández threw one versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 15, 2012. There were three that season — but none since until Germán finished off the first no-hitter in the majors this year. He joined Don Larsen (1956), David Wells (1998) and David Cone (1999) as Yankees to pitch perfect […]
