The Yankees just had their harshest deadline day in years, cutting multiple bullpen arms and officially closing the book on one of Brian Cashman’s worst trades. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down who’s out, who’s safe, and what it all means heading into the next phase of the offseason.

Key topics:

⚾ Yankees non-tender Mark Leiter Jr., Ian Hamilton, Jake Cousins, and surprisingly Scott Effross

⚾ What freeing up five 40-man spots means for the next few weeks

⚾ Intriguing non-tender options available: Adolis Garcia, Jonah Heim, Ramon Urias, Gregory Santos, and more

⚾ Corey Seager rumors — real or noise? After the Semien-Nimmo swap, is a 6/$189M trade fantasy or an opportunity?

⚾ Tatsuya Imai meetings reportedly being set up — despite Cashman not knowing his name 🤦‍♂️

💬 Comment below: What was the most shocking Yankees move from deadline day?

The Yankees’ offseason just took a turn nobody saw coming — Trent Grisham accepted the $22M qualifying offer. Now the fanbase is divided, the budget looks tight, and the plan? Impossible to predict.

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down what Grisham’s return really means:

⚾ The fan reaction meltdown — from “Yankees are cooked” to “Hal might finally go nuclear”

⚾ Does this move take the Yankees out on Bellinger, or does it confirm they’re “all in”?

⚾ Mark Feinsand backs up Cashman’s comments: “New York is the clear favorite to sign Bellinger”

⚾ How Grisham’s no-trade clause until June 15 affects roster flexibility

⚾ The Domínguez vs. Spencer Jones dilemma — who’s trade bait now?

⚾ Could we see a Domínguez trade for a controllable starter instead of an Imai signing?

Aaron Judge is once again the American League MVP — beating Cal Raleigh 355–335 in a tight race and reclaiming his place atop baseball. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down the voting drama, the Mariners’ salt, and how this season cements Judge’s legacy.

Then, the offseason talk gets spicy:

⚾ Yankees among the teams reportedly in on Tatsuya Imai, and one of six to scout Munetaka Okamoto in Japan’s exhibition series

⚾ Devin Williams rumors heat up — prefers to stay in the Midwest, but Cashman’s chasing anyway

⚾ Why Yankees fans are still more sympathetic toward Williams than angry

⚾ Mariners Twitter’s “Cal is our MVP” post — adorable, but irrelevant

💬 Comment below: What was your favorite Aaron Judge moment this season?

The Yankees made plenty of noise at the GM Meetings — even though Brian Cashman didn’t bother showing up.

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down what we actually learned from the week’s chaos:

⚾ Cashman telegraphs interest in Cody Bellinger (“We’d be better served if we could retain him”) while Boras plays the five-tool hype game

⚾ Trent Grisham reportedly declining his QO, meaning the Yankees might’ve played it right after all

⚾ George Lombard Jr. isn’t trade bait (if we believe Cashman’s usual tells)

⚾ Devin Williams has 12 teams circling — with the Dodgers, Red Sox, and Rays likely leading the charge

⚾ Plus: Randy Miller’s Paul Skenes “story” (absolutely not happening), Donny Rowlands finally gone, and Gerrit Cole’s encouraging ALS fundraiser update

💬 Comment below: Should Yankees fans actually feel better about this week… or even more confused?

Well… no one saw that coming. The Yankees issued a qualifying offer to Trent Grisham, and it just changed everything about the offseason.

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down why this move might mean two very different things — and what it reveals about the Yankees’ outfield, their Bellinger pursuit, and their confidence in Aaron Judge’s durability.

Discussion points:

⚾ Why the Yankees’ surprise QO could either mean they’re out on Bellinger or prepping for a pick swap

⚾ Could this move make Domínguez or Spencer Jones trade bait in a Kwan or ace package?

⚾ Does this quietly confirm Judge might not be an everyday right fielder anymore?

⚾ Wild card option notes: Pete Fairbanks, Max Muncy, Munetaka Murakami

⚾ Plus: Yankees reportedly favorites for Imai, and a wild Luis Ortiz/Emmanuel Clase update 👀

⚾ GM Meetings incoming — what will Cashman be angry and wrong about this time?

💬 Comment below: Was this smart strategy or peak Yankees overthinking?

The Yankees’ offseason is officially rolling — and somehow, they’ve started it with two correct decisions. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down the moves that kicked off the frenzy and what could be next.

Topics covered:

⚾ Yankees pick up Tim Hill’s $3M option and decline Jonathan Loaisiga’s $5M — both the right calls

⚾ Free agents newly available via option declines: Jorge Polanco, anyone? (Sorry, Jazz…)

⚾ Shota Imanaga as a Carlos Rodón replacement? Too obvious or perfect timing?

⚾ Shane Bieber stays in Toronto — a culture statement for the Jays

⚾ Steve Cohen’s penny-pinching Antoan Richardson saga (LOL)

⚾ The Yamamoto story: why the Yankees never had a real shot once LA entered the chat

Daaaaaaa Blue Jays Lose. The unthinkable happened — Toronto blew the World Series in legendary fashion, and the Dodgers are champions again. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante react to the stunning finale, the collapse that shook MLB, and what it means for the Yankees’ offseason.

⚾ The IKF pinch-run disaster, Miggy Rojas vs. Jazz Chisholm shoe milk saga, and that one missed foul tip that changed everything

⚾ Why this Dodgers title could re-spark MLB’s salary cap debate

⚾ What’s next for the Yankees — Jazz trade rumors, Cody Bellinger buzz, and more offseason rumblings

The Yankees’ perfect coaching hire might be right in front of them — Antoan Richardson. The former Mets 1B coach, who mentored Jazz Chisholm and helped transform Juan Soto’s baserunning, is officially available…and somehow, the Yankees aren’t on it?

Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down why this is such a no-brainer, what’s going on behind the scenes at YES Network, and how the Blue Jays just won’t die — even in October.

💬 Comment below: Should the Yankees pounce on Antoan Richardson right now?
