About our New York Yankees news
Latest news on the New York Yankees, also known as the Yanks and the Bronx Bombers, covering game reports, trade rumors, free agency, prospects, Yankee Stadium and the road to the World Series.
The Yankees are a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in the Bronx, New York City (NY or N.Y.). They play in the American League (AL) division known as the AL East. Their pinstripes and interlocking "NY" logo are among the best known symbols in sport, and the club has won more World Series titles than any other.
Yankees coverage often turns on spending, star power, pitching depth and the pressure to win in October. Few clubs face more scrutiny, and every signing or slump becomes a talking point across New York.
Yankee Stadium and its Monument Park honour the club's legends, while the Bleacher Creatures chant the roll call at every home opener. Fans also know the team as the Pinstripers or the Bombers. The 1970s era, nicknamed the Bronx Zoo, remains a favourite of baseball storytellers.
The franchise began in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, moved to New York in 1903 as the Highlanders and became the Yankees in 1913. The original Yankee Stadium, the House That Ruth Built, opened in 1923. Hall of Famers include Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Mariano Rivera, plus Derek Jeter. The rivalry with the Boston Red Sox is among the fiercest in sport, and the Subway Series pits the Yankees against the Mets.
