Jul 24, 2025, 06:43 PM ET ROCHESTER, N.Y. — New York Yankees prospect Spencer Jones homered in his first three at-bats in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s 10-8 loss to Rochester on Thursday. A frequent subject of trade rumors, the left-handed hitting Jones — a towering figure at the plate at 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds — took the minor league home run lead …

Apparently going through customs strips the Yankees of their defensive capabilities. Yankees manager Aaron Boone curiously called his team a “very good defensive club” after committing four errors in an 8-4 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday that made his team look anything but, and attributed his squad’s recent Benny Hill tribute while playing north of the border to …

TORONTO — On a night when his club fell apart defensively, Aaron Boone found an outlet for his frustration: home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez. Boone was upset early on about a high called third strike to Oswald Peraza that Gonzalez later owned up to missing. But then in the seventh inning of the Yankees’ sloppy 8-4 loss to the Blue …

TORONTO — The Yankees may never want to come back here again. The entire country will likely welcome them back with open arms, though, given how generous they are in giving away free outs. With a chance to claim the series against the team they are trailing in the AL East, the Yankees put together one last slopfest of a …

It is that third sentence that makes the upcoming July 31 MLB trade deadline a murky proposition for those firmly identifying as buyers this year, because “other playoff contenders” could be more than 75 percent of the game based on the current standings. If the thinking in …

TORONTO — Where is the line between a prospect raising his trade value and becoming too valuable to trade?  Spencer Jones is on his way to finding out.  The Yankees prospect has been on an absolute tear since being promoted to Triple-A last month, crushing 10 home runs in his first 16 games.  The timing of it all makes the …

Nearly a decade later, the sluggers’ careers intersected again. Judge launched his 351st career homer in the first inning on Sunday, tying A-Rod for sixth place on the club’s all-time home run list in the Yankees’ 4-2 victory over the Braves in the rubber match at Truist Park. “It’s just an incredible honor, especially growing up and watching A-Rod for …

ATLANTA — Major League Baseball is investigating Atlanta Braves assistant coach Eddie Pérez’s actions after he pointed to his head during Saturday night’s game while jawing with New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., a league source told The Athletic.
