I really cannot believe they got outhomered by that team. Figured they could lose the series, sure, but no shot they’d get outhomered and swept. Anyways, here’s my offseason blueprint. I’m too tired and angry to defend it right now but it’s here. tbeckmann.substack.com/p/a-r…

The funniest part is that all of the hitters who are pro-data are either rookies, a catcher, or have been good hitters in their career.
Yankees Stats@ChrisCoop_17h
This makes sense to me on top of how Matt Blake has a background in Cleveland (analytics heavy), considering how nerdy Gerrit Cole/Max Fried (the vets of their staff) like to get with their arsenal. Have to give Carlos Rodon an enormous amount of credit here too for the buy-in after taking a fat wad of cash and accepting the changes the org was trying to make. Same with Ryan Weathers (minus the cash). The vets of the position player staff over the years on the other hand (Judge, Stanton, Rizzo, etc..) don’t seem like numbers guys haha. I think the buy-in as time goes on will get better considering how entrenched in data young hitters and MiLB players already have to be as they develop. Ben rice George Lombard Austin wells Anthony Volpe Spencer jones I think the buy-in from that crop is probably a lot better.

It’d be pretty funny if Hal was that vocal about offensive disappointment and the Yankees in turn run back the same hitting coach.

Oh Rowson’s seat is scorching lol

Hal Steinbrenner is asked about the changes the Yankees need to make to get over the hump: "We're going to look at everything...I was disappointed with the offense. They were inconsistent for long periods of time."

Immediate thoughts went to status of Rowson and Rojas. Those feel like the potential changes staff-wise.

Here’s the news about Aaron Boone returning that has been anticipated. Boone will be back for 2027, a source confirmed. Pete Caldera was on it first.

With Teruaki Sato’s transfer to MLB incoming, I’m very curious to see what orgs are interested in his high risk profile. There’s been some comps to Murakami in the Thump+K% department, but Sato chases at a far higher clip without the extreme BB rates. (📊 via @YankeesFocus)

The Hanshin Tigers have officially accepted Teruaki Sato’s posting request. Sato won the 2026 Triple Crown in the NPB, hitting .306 with 39 HR and 106 RBI in his age-27 season.

Brewers have just been relentless man. Such a different group from last year in terms of approach and mentality. Very fun to watch.

New words out: first of a few pieces this offseason evaluating the homegrown Yankees’ rookies. This one centers around George Lombard Jr. tbeckmann.substack.com/p/hom…

Tons of credit to @YankeesFocus who put together an excellent tweet with underlying data on Teruaki Sato and other recent position players who've come over from the NPB. Great follow for forward-thinking baseball information and data visualization.

From September 12th, 2026 through the end of the American League Division Series against Tampa Bay. Ben Rice led the major leagues in xwOBA (.437). Ended the season on deck btw! Also, George Lombard Jr. ranked 7th (.375).

He will be 29 at the start of next season. The best outcome on this list for a player in that age range is Adolis Garcia, who in his next five seasons posted wRC+ of: 2022 — 112 2023 — 128 2024 — 94 2025 — 83 2026 — 63 Profile is volatile at best.

2026 Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a scary offensive profile for teams to bet on given combo of QOC + bat to ball skills. Since 2015, only 23 hitters with ≥ 450 PA, ≤ 80.0% Z-Contact, and ≤ .300 xwOBA. I do not expect much interest from the Yankees.

Not an ideal placement on the plot here.

I mean no bullshit here but Trent Grisham and Jazz Chisholm regressing tanked any chance of this team getting to where they wanted to. Hard to predict regression at times but my god what a miserable end to their Yankee careers.

Teruaki Sato will be a name to watch for the upcoming MLB offseason. Just won the NPB Triple Crown in 2026. Here’s how he stacks up compared to other hitters making the jump from the NPB to MLB in recent years (final 2 seasons before posting). Data is from @yakyucosmo

You know the drill. If I can't be happy nobody can. Hopefully Major League Baseball is never played again and I can enjoy the 27 championships my favorite team has won in perpetual bliss.
