Meanwhile Will Warren continues checking every box in spring training, Ryan Weathers still has some things to figure out, and Oswaldo Cabrera’s Opening Day hopes look bleak.We also talk about the Aaron Judge and the WBC, where even his home runs are somehow getting criticized.👍 Like & subscribe for Yankees videos every Monday/Thursday at 2pm ET.00:00 – Spring Training Doldrums Begin02:29 – Cam Schlittler’s Electric Debut09:23 – Ryan Weathers: Ace Potential or Project?21:10 – Yankees Bullpen Battle Takes Shape24:17 – Will Warren’s Strong Spring30:25 – Yankees Bullpen Targets & Roster Questions31:04 – Cabrera vs Schumann Bench Debate35:15 – Randall Grichuk’s Yankees Debut40:45 – Aaron Judge’s WBC Start42:29 – The Aaron Judge Narrative Returns54:14 – USA vs Mexico Preview & Wrap Up--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM4kNVfs5de5BNUY55hEiIAFollow Thomas: https://twitter.com/TOMMYS_TAKESFollow Adam: https://twitter.com/AdamWeinrib ---#Yankees #CamSchlittler #AaronJudge #WillWarren #MLB #SpringTraining #WorldBaseballClassic #YanksGoYardAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Luis Gil might’ve answered one of the Yankees’ biggest spring questions. The right-hander hit 97.9 MPH and struck out six in three dominant innings against Boston, showing the velocity jump the Yankees needed to see.Meanwhile, George Lombard Jr. keeps making noise, squaring up high-90s fastballs from Garrett Crochet and continuing to flash the talent that has fans wondering how fast he could rise.Plus: Aaron Judge launches a 453-foot bomb at Team USA camp, the World Baseball Classic is loaded (DR and Japan look terrifying), and Elmer Rodriguez impresses against the Red Sox in a Puerto Rico exhibition.👍 Like & subscribe for Yankees videos every Monday/Thursday at 2pm ET.00:00 Intro + WBC is here 00:50 Why this spring feels “more memorable” 05:15 Elmer Rodriguez note + Yankees/Red Sox setup 06:00 Luis Gil finally checks the box (velo + Ks) 09:15 Rotation depth panic?

The Yankees are 8–2 in spring training (yes, it’s fake baseball)… but it’s still been fun watching key bats and arms show out. We break down the Cody Bellinger back issue and shifting return timeline, the Domínguez/Spencer Jones surge, standout prospect pitching, and why Ryan McMahon shortstop reps could impact roster math.

Spring Training is underway and the Yankees already have a few eye-popping performers and a few early concerns. Paul Goldschmidt is off to another hot start, Ben Rice looks comfortable, and young arms are flashing serious stuff. But should we be worried about Luis Gil’s velocity? Is Austin Wells’ slow start just March noise? And are Kervin Castro and Jake Bird for real or just spring mirages?

Anthony Volpe says he’s entering 2026 with a chip on his shoulder and after two uneven seasons and a shoulder injury, the Yankees are giving him another full runway. We break down whether fans should believe in a bounce-back, why the organization has backed itself into a corner, and what this season really means for his future. Plus, Ryan McMahon at shortstop chaos, bullpen concerns, and the much bigger story: Tony Clark’s sudden MLBPA ouster and why 2027 baseball could be heading toward another lockout.

Spring training is underway and the most notable action so far isn’t on the field, it’s in the quotes. Aaron Judge called the waiting through the Yankees’ slow offseason “brutal,” hit the fanbase with a “we’re the New York Yankees” rally cry… and then finished by saying he loves where the roster landed. We break down why that both validates fans and confuses them, plus early spring training velocity buzz, what to watch from Elmer Rodriguez and Carlos LaGrange, why rushing LaGrange into the bullpen could create a Joba/Phil Hughes situation, Bryce Harper stirring the pot again (and name-dropping Judge), and the Mets continuing their “former Yankees” shopping spree.

Spring Training is underway and, for once, the Yankees avoided a Day 1 injury disaster. Gerrit Cole’s timeline is encouraging, Brian Cashman showed up dressed like a reality TV cast member, and camp feels… calm. Meanwhile, chaos hit the rest of the league — the Blue Jays, Mets, D-Backs and Orioles are already dealing with major injuries. Does that shift the AL East outlook at all? And with Ian O’Connor suggesting this could be Aaron Boone’s final year without a title, is 2026 truly win-or-else in the Bronx?👍 Like & subscribe for Yankees videos every Monday/Thursday at 2pm ET.00:00 – Spring Training Begins & Early Yankees Updates03:31 – First Minor Injury Scare & Camp Vibes08:02 – Running It Back: Expectations for 202612:53 – Pressure on the Yankees This Season18:28 – Dodgers Spending vs Yankees Reality24:27 – AL East Outlook: Red Sox, Orioles & Blue Jays26:15 – Blue Jays Injury Disaster35:41 – Is 2026 Aaron Boone’s Last Year?49:21 – Boone’s Leadership & PR Problem54:01 – Isaiah Kiner-Falefa & Red Sox PR Shots1:02:18 – Final Thoughts & Spring Training Outlook--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM4kNVfs5de5BNUY55hEiIAFollow Thomas: https://twitter.com/TOMMYS_TAKESFollow Adam: https://twitter.com/AdamWeinrib ---#Yankees #YankeesRumors #YanksGoYard #MLBOffseason #BronxBombersAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Yankees finally did it! Paul Goldschmidt is back in the Bronx!On Yanks Go Yard, Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante react to the Yankees signing Goldschmidt for $4M plus incentives, why he chose New York over San Diego, and why this move immediately creates roster chaos.What happens next? Do the Yankees still chase a right-handed catcher? Is Ben Rice actually the backup catcher now? Are they done shopping for a right-handed outfielder — or does this push Oswaldo Cabrera and Jasson Domínguez into a numbers game that sends someone to Scranton?Plus: Quick hits on Boston landing Caleb Durbin for basically nothing — and why that one stings more than it should.👍 Like & subscribe for Yankees videos every Monday/Thursday at 2pm ET.0:00 Paul Goldschmidt returns (contract + immediate reactions) 2:39 Why Goldy still matters vs LHP (and the Ben Rice worry) 12:00 Chaos next: backup catcher, bench math, Domínguez/Oswaldo to AAA? 18:41 Payroll/“running it back” debate (what’s actually frustrating) 32:05 Caleb Durbin to Boston: how was he even available?! 45:45 Devin Williams fallout + Yankees player-eval/fit issues 50:26 Breaking news: Yankees acquire Max Schumann 59:30 Nick Martinez to Rays: the missed Yankees fit + wrap-up--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM4kNVfs5de5BNUY55hEiIAFollow Thomas: https://twitter.com/TOMMYS_TAKESFollow Adam: https://twitter.com/AdamWeinrib ---#Yankees #YankeesRumors #YanksGoYard #MLBOffseason #BronxBombersAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Yankees’ search for a right-handed bat is officially getting strange.On Yanks Go Yard, Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante break down the latest batch of Yankees rumors, including reports that front-office decision-makers suddenly love Miguel Andújar again, years after burying him and watching him demand a trade. Is this an oddball reunion… or just the best version of a flawed option?We also react to Brendan Donovan landing elsewhere, why he never really fit the 2026 Yankees anyway, and what the Mariners’ improvement means for the AL landscape. Plus, a rapid-fire rundown of Joel Sherman’s latest target list, why the Mets may have accidentally saved the Yankees from Luis Robert Jr., and how desperate this market is starting to feel.👍 Like & subscribe for Yankees videos every Monday/Thursday at 2pm ET.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE:    / @yanksgoyard  Follow Thomas:   / tommys_takes  Follow Adam:   / adamweinrib   ---#Yankees #YankeesRumors #YanksGoYard #MLBOffseason #BronxBombersAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
