Hal Steinbrenner is ready to make the jump to hyperspace and watch his Yankees become the "Evil Empire" again.
Just a few days after stunning Major League Baseball with a landscape-altering trade, the Yankees have moved on and are trying to address an actual need.
Giancarlo Stanton said he put the Yankees on his trade wish list after admiring them from afar.
The slugger said the deal that brought him to New York started to materialize Thursday night, when he learned about it from his agent.
In one move, Brian Cashman minimized all the questions about Aaron Boone's lack of experience.
Brian Cashman is getting his. The veteran general manager was finalizing a new five-year, $25 million contract with the Yankees on Monday, WFAN baseball inside Jon Heyman reported.
The reaction from almost every fan I talked to Saturday morning after they heard that Giancarlo Stanton was about to become a Yankee was the same: "All I've got to say is, WOW!"
Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge in the same outfield. Yes, it's really happening.
The unbelievable is on the verge of happening. A deal to bring this past season's home run leader to the already-fearsome New York Yankees lineup may be steps away from crossing the finish line.
Imagine a lineup featuring Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, and Giancarlo Stanton. It's now possible.
Maybe the Yankees are smarter than the rest of us. Maybe it's all about coddling young egos, playing a paternal role, more than that of the boss. It's about relationships, mentorships and, of course, analytics.
The Bombers have their new manager -- introducing Aaron Boone on Wednesday -- but A-Rod isn't shutting the door on the possibility that he'd take the job someday down the road.
Aaron Boone acknowledges that one of his first tasks as Yankees manager is to convince his players he can do the job.
Hal Steinbrenner initially wanted someone with managerial experience to lead his Yankees into this next phase of their storied history.
Believe it or not, since retiring following the 2014 season, Derek Jeter hasn't felt that itch to play again.
It's official: Aaron Boone is the new manager of the New York Yankees.
When Aaron Boone was a player, his teammates thought he was practicing to be a TV announcer as he sat on the bench doing play-by-play to entertain them.
Coming across as a good communicator, in part, helped Aaron Boone win the job as next Yankees manager. Those of us in the media already knew of his communication skills, as we listened to him analyze games weekly on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball."
It was a done deal, right up until it wasn't.
Aaron Boone will get a chance to be a Yankees hero again.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Friday he's ready to recommend to owner Hal Steinbrenner his choice for the team's next manager.
The Yankees just might have the ammo needed to make a deal for Giancarlo Stanton, potentially creating a powerful combo with Aaron Judge.
There has been all this talk about connecting to players and communicating with the guys in the clubhouse, yet no one has done it like Carlos Beltran.
Carlos Beltran has interviewed to become manager of the New York Yankees, four weeks after the final game of his 20-year major league career.
Andy Pettitte credits the way the Yankees battled back to win the 1996 World Series for the success he and his teammates had down the road.
