New York Yankees Official Podcast

The Yankees have the best record in the majors, so we’re chatting about the obvious and totally predictable reasons for their success — Nestor Cortes and Michael King. Obviously, success has many fathers, and part of what has made this season so special in the Bronx has been the contributions from the entire roster, but we can promise you that we didn’t expect to have Nasty Nestor on our June cove...

This is a pretty offensive episode, but not the type that requires a parental warning. First things first, Yankees Magazine editors Alfred Santasiere III and Jon Schwartz chat about our May cover story on Anthony Rizzo, which Al reported and wrote earlier this year. And while the first baseman — who re-signed with the Yankees this past offseason, after arriving in an deadline deal in 2021 — looks...

April showers bring May flowers, but they also occasionally bring the thunder.
