Why the Yankees Feel Stuck Heading into 2026 (12/13/25) - CF2811713 déc. 202500:33:44

The offseason officially rolls on for the Chase for 28 crew, but optimism is in short supply. In Episode 117, Chris, the Podcast Padre, and the Podcast Paisan return to break down a Yankees winter that feels frozen in time. From the shocking qualifying offer acceptance by Trent Grisham to the continued reliance on analytics over fundamentals, the guys question whether Brian Cashman and the front office truly understand what this team needs to win in October.

The conversation spans roster construction, positional logjams, and the growing frustration of running back essentially the same team. They debate Volpe’s future, Ben Rice’s role, the impossibility of moving Giancarlo Stanton’s contract, and whether the Yankees are leaning too heavily on pitching to mask offensive flaws. Add in lockout speculation, ownership spending concerns, Asian market rumors, and a lively trivia debate, and this episode captures exactly how uneasy Yankees fans feel heading into 2026.

Key Topics Discussed

  • Why the Yankees made (and lost) the Trent Grisham qualifying offer gamble
  • How MLB qualifying offers work—and why this one backfired
  • Has baseball passed Brian Cashman by?
  • Analytics vs. “using your eyes” in roster decisions
  • The Yankees’ youth movement paradox: Domínguez, Jones, Volpe, Wells
  • Ben Rice as catcher or first baseman—and the ripple effects
  • Lefty-heavy lineups, balance, and Yankee Stadium roster philosophy
  • Frustrations with bottom-of-the-lineup production
  • Debating contact hitters vs. power-first approaches
  • Asian market targets: Murakami, Okamoto, Imai, and posting-system realities
  • Giancarlo Stanton’s contract and the need to free the DH spot
  • Pitching reliance: Cole’s age, Rodón’s value, and rotation trust
  • Lockout speculation and the Dodgers changing the financial landscape
  • Are the Yankees still true AL East favorites?

Yankees Trivia 🤔

Who is the only AL team the Yankees have never faced in the playoffs?

Answer: Up until 2025 it was the Toronto Blue Jays

This episode: Name the 3 Yankees who have hit for the cycle more than once.

Harper Rumors, Volpe Doubts & Hot Stove Dreams (10/25/25) - CF28-11626 oct. 202500:43:50

The 2025 season is in the books, and the Chase for 28 crew is officially back in the Batcave to launch Hot Stove season! In Episode 116, Chris and the Podcast Padre dive deep into the Yankees’ offseason outlook—reacting to the Blue Jays’ World Series run, evaluating trade rumors, and debating the franchise’s future direction. From Bryce Harper trade chatter to Bo Bichette speculation and frustration over Anthony Volpe’s stagnant development, this episode is a rollercoaster of offseason energy, sarcasm, and genuine fandom.

The guys dissect the Yankees’ analytics-heavy approach, Cashman’s long leash, and why simply “making the playoffs” isn’t enough for this franchise anymore. They review potential free agents, trade targets like Skubal and Skenes, and discuss how youth, health, and smarter at-bats could reshape the 2026 roster.

Topics Discussed:

  • Yankees’ 2025 playoff exit and Toronto’s World Series appearance
  • Volpe’s struggles and whether he’s still the “shortstop of the future”
  • Frustration with Boone and Cashman’s job security
  • Bryce Harper trade rumor—would you send Stanton to Philly to make it happen?
  • Offseason needs: contact hitters, reliable outfielders, and a balanced lineup
  • Possible targets: Harper (PHI), Bo Bichette (TOR), Skubal (DET), Skenes (PIT), Kyle Tucker (CHC)
  • Free agent breakdowns: Bellinger, Realmuto, Schwarber, Conforto, Gurriel Jr.
  • Discussion on potential moves: Rice as a full-time catcher, Domínguez and Jones in the outfield
  • Analytics vs. baseball IQ: the Yankees’ identity crisis
  • Cole, Rodón, and health updates ahead of 2026
  • Listener mailbag: Couzini calls for Boone’s firing and praises Don Mattingly

Answer: Jack Chesbro, 41 W in 1904

BONUS: ALDS Game 4 Reaction (10/8/25)09 oct. 202500:16:54

The 2025 Yankees season is officially over. In this emotional instant reaction episode, Chris and the Podcast Paisan (AJ) host what feels like the Bronx Bombers’ postseason wake. The Yankees’ offense went silent once again, managing only three hits through eight innings before falling 5–2 to the Blue Jays in Game 4. Despite Cam Schlittler’s strong start, sloppy defense from Jazz Chisholm and a quiet lineup sealed their fate.

Chris and AJ unpack the collapse—Volpe’s alarming strikeout rate, the team’s one-dimensional hitting philosophy, and Boone’s ongoing managerial issues. From comparing the Yankees’ analytical approach to other AL contenders to venting about situational hitting and poor at-bats, the guys reflect on a season of “what ifs.” They also share lighter moments about fandom, future roster shakeups, and what comes next for Chase for 28 as they look toward 2026.

BONUS: ALDS Game 3 Reaction (10/8/25)08 oct. 202500:11:26

The Yankees aren’t dead yet! In Game 3 of the ALDS, Aaron Judge put the team on his back as the Bronx Bombers stormed back from a 6–1 deficit to defeat the Blue Jays and keep their season alive. Chris and the Podcast Paisan (AJ) break down every emotional moment—from Rodón’s early collapse to the bullpen’s lockdown effort and Judge’s MVP-caliber leadership that sparked the comeback.

Despite leaving eight runners on base, the Yankees went 6-for-12 with runners in scoring position and finally showed the timely hitting that’s been missing all series. Stanton and Wells delivered clutch two-out RBIs, Ben Rice chipped in with a key sacrifice fly, and the bullpen trio of Cruz, Bednar, and Duvall sealed the deal. With Cam Schlittler on deck for Game 4, Chris and AJ look ahead to a potential series-tying performance as “Stan-tober” finally starts to heat up in the Bronx.

BONUS: ALDS Game 2 Reaction (10/5/25)06 oct. 202500:20:51

The Bronx Bombers are on the ropes. In this Game 2 postgame reaction episode, Chris and the Podcast Paisan (AJ) try to make sense of a disastrous weekend in Toronto as the Yankees fall behind 0–2 in the ALDS after a 13–7 loss. Despite scoring late against Toronto’s bullpen, the early innings were defined by rookie Trey Yesavage, who threw 5.1 no-hit innings and racked up 11 strikeouts in just his fourth career start.

The guys vent their frustration over Aaron Boone’s bullpen choices, the offense’s lack of adjustments to Yesavage’s splitter, and questionable decisions like Ryan McMahon bunting in the eighth inning. They break down why Will Warren was used in long relief, share insights from Joba Chamberlain himself, and debate whether Carlos Rodón can keep the series alive back home in the Bronx. Despite the bleak outlook, the crew—bolstered by a voicemail from young fan Kellen—finds a spark of hope for Game 3.

BONUS: ALDS Game 1 Reaction (10/4/25)05 oct. 202500:10:37

The Yankees’ postseason run hit its first bump north of the border as Toronto dominated Game 1 of the ALDS with a 10–1 victory at Rogers Centre. Despite the lopsided score, host Chris Nesi reminds fans that the effort on the field wasn’t nearly as bad as the final line suggested. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on a two-way clinic, flashing leather and launching a homer, while Alejandro Kirk surprised everyone with two of his own.

Luis Gil’s short outing forced the Yankees to tap deep into their bullpen—using six pitchers—and things unraveled from there. But even in the loss, Chris remains confident the Yankees will bounce back, predicting a four-game series win with Max Fried taking the mound against rookie Trey Yesavage in Game 2. With Rodón and Schlittler lined up for Games 3 and 4, the path to the ALCS is still wide open. Plus, Chris breaks down key at-bats, bullpen decisions, and why the offense must wake up fast if the Yankees want to “Chase for 28” to stay alive.

Despite trade deadline optimism, the Yankees have stumbled badly, getting swept by the Marlins for the first time in regular-season history and dropping another series to Texas.

The team is in the midst of an uncertain stretch without Aaron Judge, now beginning to surge with renewed life—and an infusion of fresh talent—at the trade deadline. From bullpen reinforcements to defensive upgrades and spark plug additions, this episode breaks down every major move the front office made (and didn't make).

The duo also discusses the missed opportunity to call up Spencer Jones, the curious case of Anthony Volpe’s fielding struggles, and what Judge’s return as a DH-only player means for the lineup.

To win it all, the Dodgers had to give it all. Had to stare down an ugly early deficit. Had to empty their bullpen. Had to rally against Gerrit Cole and then against the Yankees’ best relievers. Had to get a World Series-clinching save from starter Walker Buehler, of all people.

The Yankees were undone by a horrifying 5th inning.

Thirty-six years after a gimpy Kirk Gibson limped to the plate to smack a Game 1 walk-off homer, Freddie Freeman came to bat with a badly injured right ankle, the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th and a chance to summon October magic of his own. With one, no-doubt swing, Freeman rocketed the ball into the right-field pavilion seats for the first-ever World Series walk-off grand slam that gave the Dodgers an epic 6-3 victory in a Game 1 thriller Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

BONUS: ALCS Game 1 Reaction (10/14/24)15 oct. 202400:18:57

The Yankees kicked off the ALCS with a commanding 5-2 victory over the Guardians, fueled by a stellar performance from Carlos Rodón. After a rocky start in the previous round, Rodón bounced back with six innings of dominance, striking out nine while allowing just three hits. Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton provided the offensive firepower, each launching home runs to give the Yankees an early advantage in the series.

In this episode, we’ll dive into how Rodón channeled his energy to silence Cleveland’s bats and how his performance was inspired by Gerrit Cole’s composure in the ALDS. We'll also break down Soto’s approach at the plate, Stanton’s continued postseason power surge, and the importance of winning Game 1 in a best-of-seven series. The Yankees are rolling, and we’ll discuss what’s next as they look to extend their ALCS lead in Game 2.

In this episode of Chase for 28, we break down the Yankees' ALDS-clinching 3-1 victory over the Royals in Game 4. Gleyber Torres set the tone early, lacing the first pitch for a double, followed by Juan Soto’s RBI single to give the Yankees a fast lead. Gerrit Cole was dominant, pitching seven strong innings and only allowing one run, while Giancarlo Stanton and Torres added key run-scoring hits to secure the win.
