New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez<\/a>: The Yankees decided not to renew the contracts of Omar Minaya and Brian Sabean. The longtime executives had been working as special assistants to general manager Brian Cashman. Sabean of course spent decades with the Giants and helped build San Francisco\u2019s World Series teams in the 2010\u2019s, though he actually got his start in baseball as a scout with the Yankees back in the \u201880s. Minaya had stints as the GM for the Expos and Mets. Both had been working in Cashman\u2019s office since 2023.<\/p>\n

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch<\/a>: At the outset of 2026, Spencer Jones and George Lombard Jr. weren\u2019t necessarily expected to play huge roles for the Yankees in the big leagues. By the end of the year, however, both were key starters, and the Yankees are looking for big things from the duo next season. \u201cThat\u2019s something as an organization that we\u2019ve tried to address over the last few years,\u201d Aaron Boone said. \u201cIn \u201824 when we went to the World Series, we were a little more one-dimensional, but really good at that one dimension. I think we\u2019ve gotten more athletic over the last couple of years.\u201d Players like Jones and Lombard do bring an added element of speed and defense (theoretically, in Jones\u2019 case), but at the end of the day the quality of their production, rather than the shape of that production, will be the key to what roles they play for the 2027 Yankees.<\/p>\n

FanGraphs | Matt Martell<\/a>: Only tangentially Yankees-related, but here Martell contextualizes the dominant postseason run Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby just submitted. By Win Probability Added, Ashby\u2019s 2026 playoff performance was the most consequential by a reliever in MLB history, narrowly edging out a great Yankees reliever from the dynasty era. That\u2019s right, now in second place is John Wetteland, whose 1996 playoff run previously held the record for highest playoff WPA from a reliever. In third through fifth place, you\u2019ll find the name you were expecting, as Mariano Rivera\u2019s 2003, 2000, and 1999 postseasons round out the top five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Post | Mark W.
