Yes, Bellinger has an opt-out in his contract. And yes, he’s going to take advantage of that escape clause immediately after the World Series. Not because he wants out. To the contrary, Bellinger has richly enjoyed being a Yankee, carrying on the legacy of his father Clay, who wore the Pinstripes from 1999-2001.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. attributed the Yankees' recent turnaround while facing good teams to a belief that they are "the team to beat" in the American League.

The Yankees have been looking to add speed to the lineup for a number of years now, in an attempt to build a more diverse offense. They seem to be striking gold in 2025, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. and José Caballero leading the way.

Weaver had the most pressure-packed outs, relieving Max Fried in the sixth inning of a 4-2 game with the tying runs on base. He struck out Ceddanne Rafaela and Romy Gonzalez to escape the jam with Alex Bregman and Trevor Story looming.

The New York Yankees were very active at the trade deadline, but some of their moves have turned out to be a disaster. Brian Cashman finally commented on them.

Max Fried earned his major league-leading 17th win and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had three hits - including a solo homer that moved him to the brink of the 30-30 club - leading the New York Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

The Yankees wanted to make a statement in Boston. They now have a 2 1/2 game lead over their rival for the top wild-card spot.

In a 4-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Friday night, the Red Sox racked up all of two hits and made three errors on defense. It was a sloppy, uninspired performance that was made all the worse by the fact that the Yankees kept opening the door to let them back in the game.

Jasson Dominguez likes a lot of what he's accomplished as a Yankees rookie, but he thinks he'll be a lot better in the future. His manager, teammates and the Yanks' front office agree.

The New York Yankees are neck-deep in a heated AL East race, chasing the Toronto Blue Jays by just three games. Every at-bat matters in September, but injuries to key stars have forced the Yankees into uncomfortable decisions at the worst time.
