Season 4, Episode 5: Cam Schlittler

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0000

Cam Schlittler hopefully has a long career ahead of him, filled with many incredible highlights. But whatever he does from here, he’ll have a hard time topping his incredible postseason start against the Red Sox in the 2025 AL Wild Card Series. For this week’s episode, he sits down with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits to discuss becoming an enemy back home in Massachusetts, his easygoing nature and his love of cats. Plus, Meredith and Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz look back at the first few weeks of the season, and try to sort out the highs from the lows in the rollercoaster start. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where Brian Richards has an incredible History Books chapter on Sparky Lyle.

Season 4, Episode 4: David Bednar

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0000

Every moment that a closer is on the mound makes for something of a hot seat, so for David Bednar, sitting down for an interview with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for the New York Yankees Official Podcast was hardly a challenge worth noting. But still, the Yankees’ closer, who came over in a deadline deal last year, prefers to do his talking on the field. Quiet and mild-tempered, yet quick to laugh, Bednar has been a force out of the bullpen for his new team, and he chats with Schwartz about leaving his hometown squad to pitch for a winner, rising from the depths of the MLB Draft’s 35th round and pitching for Team USA in the last two World Baseball Classics. Plus, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits chats with Jon about the first week of the season, the weather forecasts in the Bronx and much, much more. Lastly, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator gets us ready for the home opener with stories about Yankees who hit two blasts in their season debuts.

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 03:38:00 -0000

Because the world contains no greater medicine for the blues than a bit of time with Oswaldo Cabrera. The Yankees infielder, who endured a devastating and horrifying injury last year, is working his way back to form as the season dawns, and this week, he chats with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits about the fateful night, his recovery, and the meaning behind the Venezuela cap he keeps close at hand.

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0000

You know spring training is underway for real when the Yankees get decked out in their pinstripes and go station to station taking photos and filming short videos for the season to come. And amid the chaos and circus atmosphere, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits got 60 seconds (or so …) with a bunch of the guys on this year’s team.

Season 3, Episode 22: Ryan Yarbrough

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

Ryan Yarbrough joined the Yankees just days before the end of spring training last year, and he turned out to be a much-needed swing-man for the team’s pitching staff, moving between the starting rotation and the bullpen. He’s back in pinstripes for 2026, this time with a bit more runway before Opening Day, and he took some time out of his last-minute prep to chat with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits about all that makes him excited about being back with the Yankees.

Season 3, Episode 21: Homer Bush

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

What’s the old commercial? “With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good?” Well, with a name like Homer, you’ve basically got to be a baseball player. And years after he retired, Homer Bush is still living out the fantasy that saw him smack in the middle of the action for the 1998 Yankees, one of the greatest teams of all time. The always-happy alum is still showing up at Old-Timers’ Day and as a coach during Yankees fantasy camps, and he sat down with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits to discuss his memories of 1998, his own trajectory in the game and the stress that comes with watching your own son (Rays prosect Homer Jr.) chase his own dreams. Then, Meredith is joined by Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for a chat about Carlos Beltrán’s Hall of Fame prospects, and the excitement that comes with covering the all-time greats. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator Brian Richards turns to a chapter about longtime Yankees coach Jim Turner.

But after years working his way up the ladder, the Yonkers native will be in the first base coach’s box this season.

Season 3, Episode 19: Adam Warren

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0000

We’re back in Tampa this week for another episode of the New York Yankees Official Podcast on the road! Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz and YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits have loads to say from the heart of the organization’s winter refuge, where former Yankee Adam Warren stopped by during a break from coaching the team’s fantasy camp last month. The incomparably friendly reliever has plenty to say about his life in retirement, what he has learned from coaching young kids (and sure, from working with fantasy camp players, as well). He also spills some tea on the toughest hitters he ever had to face. Then, Meredith and Jon catch you up on everything happening around the team with the Winter Meetings right around the corner, including a visit from a special guest at the annual Steinbrenner Children’s Holiday Concerts in Tampa — no, not Santa Claus (although the big man in red was there, too), but we’re talking about Aaron Judge. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator Brian Richards opens a chapter of the History Books about the biggest trade in Yankees history.

We’re on the road this week, reporting live from George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa — once again, the Florida home of the New York Yankees — and chatting with assistant pitching coach Preston Claiborne.

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0000

We have a special one this week, as YES Networks Meredith Marakovits sits down to chat with Doctor K himself, Dwight Gooden. A two-time world champ with the Yankees (and, sure, a winner with that team across town, as well), Gooden’s career highlights were as remarkable as his personal and professional lows were devastating. But the pitcher is an open book, and he details the horrors of addiction and the work he has done to remake his life. Then, Meredith is joined by Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for a look back at Gooden’s life and career. Finally, we send it over to the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America, where Brian Richards has a History Books chapter about the 1936 Bronx Bombers.

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 19:18:00 -0000

The Yankees are officially going to the 2025 postseason, and while we wait to find out what the road will look like — and if there will be a Wild Card Series or a bye into the Division Series — what better time to hear from the architect of it all. This week, general manager Brian Cashman drops by to chat with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the ways that he has evolved in his role over nearly three decades, a tenure that would have been truly inconceivable when he took the reins. Then, Jon is joined by YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits for a chat about the clinch, the Champagne and so much more. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the History Books for a chapter on the 1949 Yankees, whose road to the postseason has some echoes in the current moment.

Season 3, Episode 13: Todd Frazier

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Before he was 13 years old, Todd Frazier already had a baseball resume that would forever resonate with fans from Toms River, New Jersey, and all parts of the planet. A hero at the Little League World Series, Frazier proceeded to enjoy a decorated MLB career that included two AllStar Game appearances and a stint in pinstripes. Now a youth coach and a YES Network

Season 3, Episode 12: Bernie Williams

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

If Bernie Williams walked out of the public eye the minute his baseball career ended, he would have more than earned a break. The guy is in Monument Park for a reason, a cornerstone of four Yankees world championship teams. But as he discusses with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits for this week’s episode of the New York Yankees Official Podcast, retirement has been anything but a break for the Puerto Rico native. Williams is busy as ever working on his music, and in between showing Meredith how to strum a few chords, he discusses the similarities between pursuing baseball and musical greatness, his upcoming concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and the work he does to spread awareness for the disease that took his father’s life nearly 25 years ago. For our second segment, Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz joins Meredith to chat about Bernie and the other beloved Bronx Bombers who returned to the Stadium for Old-Timers’ Day. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the history books to a particularly hilarious chapter, a heist tale mixing some of the greatest Yankees ever with just a hint of espionage. You don’t want to miss this one.

Season 3, Episode 9: 2025 MLB All-Star Game

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 18:08:00 -0000

Every July, the baseball season takes a brief pause to celebrate the titans of the game, while the majority of the players, coaches and staffers around the league enjoy some much-needed time away from the ballpark. But the 2025 MLB All-Star Game was actually a family celebration for the Yankees, as the entire coaching staff, as well as much of the trainers and support staff, got to work on the American League All-Star staff as the defending AL champions. Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz and Yankees chief photographer/senior photography editor Ariele Goldman Hecht were on the ground in Atlanta for the Midsummer Classic, and in this episode, we have selected audio clips from Yankees All-Stars during media day, plus Jon and Arie discuss how they go about covering a massive baseball party that takes so many different forms.

Season 3, Episode 7: Tim Hill

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 04:00:00 -0000

When Tim Hill signed on with the Yankees in the middle of 2024, it was logical to have tempered expectations. The guy had just been cut by the White Sox, who were in the midst of a season that would see them set the record for losses in a season. But the left-hander with the quirky delivery became a crucial part of the Yankees’ bullpen, pitching high-leverage innings in the World Series before re-signing with the team in the offseason. He chatted with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the weird journey, the weirder pitching mechanics and plenty of stuff that’s less weird, including a life story filled with struggles that continue to push him to new heights. Then, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits joins Jon to chat about HOPE Week, the remarkable five-day stretch every year when the Yankees head into the community to change lives and inspire millions of fans. Finally, Brian Richards checks in from the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where he opens a chapter of the History Books to talk about a tradition started during a June start by Ron Guidry nearly half a century ago.

Thu, 22 May 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Imagine everything that goes into making a pitching staff work. For Matt Blake, it’s more than a full-time job. Now in his sixth season in the Bronx, the respected guru has his Yankees dominating on the mound, and he sat down with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz to chat about the massive undertaking.

Then, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network stops by to chat about the 2025 Subway Series, Anthony Volpe, J.C. Escarra and much more.

Season 3, Episode 4: Jasson Domínguez

Thu, 08 May 2025 04:00:00 -0000

When Yankees fans first learned about Jasson Domínguez, it was because their newest international signing was being compared to players such as Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout. While those expectations might be impossible for anyone to meet, Domínguez is developing into a solid big leaguer, even while learning a new position on the fly. The young stud chatted with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for this week’s episode, discussing his development, his struggles with injuries and much, much more. Stick around for our second segment, in which YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits joins to chat about the news around the Yankees, and to recap a wild trip to the wrong clubhouse in Tampa.

The splitter magician tells a story of faith and perseverance, of the sacrifices that his family made and his belief that his mother traded her life for his big-league shot.

It’s the second season finale of the New York Yankees Official Podcast, and before we raise the curtain on the 2025 season, we have one more great episode to close out the spring. Yoendrys Gómez might not be a household name yet, but he has been on the Yankees’ prospect list for years, and this past offseason, as he tells Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, he did something no Yankees big leaguer ever has before. Gómez graduated from the team’s Dominican Academy, walking in the ceremony and receiving his high school diploma; while several of his teammates have done this before, none has while appearing on the 40-man roster. Gómez and Schwartz talk all about the Yankees’ Dominican operation, plus the pitcher’s goals for 2025. Then Yankees Magazine executive editor Nathan Maciborski zooms in to chat about World Series grand slams and some other stories coming in the team’s official 2025 Yearbook.

Episode 8: Isiah Kiner-Falefa

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s baseball journey is plenty unique. He’s a relative of Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, and one of very few players to hail from Hawaii. But the most interesting thing about the Yankees’ do-it-all utility player is the way that he talks about his role on the 2023 Yankees. Brought to town last year to be the starting shortstop, these days, he’s much more likely to be found in the outfield or even on the pitcher’s mound. In a bracing and deeply honest conversation with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, Kiner-Falefa explains his goal to be the best utility player possible, and why that’s not faint praise. Plus, Yankees Magazine executive editor Nathan Maciborski stops by to chat about HOPE Week and a special 40th anniversary story about Dave Righetti’s July 4, 1983, no-hitter.

Epsiode 6: Wandy Peralta

Thu, 08 Jun 2023 04:00:00 -0000

Last year, Wandy Peralta became the first Yankee in history to pitch in all five games of a Division Series. And when the left-hander stopped by our podcast studio, he showed off a more serious side than fans are used to seeing on the mound, where the Dominican Republic native is known for his hilarious and absurd facial expressions. But there was also plenty of laughter, plenty of good cheer from a guy who says that his job is just as much about making sure that everyone around him is happy and relaxed as it is pitching perfect innings. His chat with Jon Schwartz (and Yankees bilingual media relations coordinator Marlon Abreu) is an awesome window into a true original.

Thu, 25 May 2023 15:58:00 -0000

Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka insists that he has a killer instinct, but when he stopped by our podcast studio, he showed the same chill, cool, uber-California style that Yankees fans and teammates have gotten to know for years. The longest-tenured member of the organization, Higashioka chats with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the team’s pitching staff, the very different joys of catching a no-hitter and hitting three homers in a game, and so much more. Then, Al Santasiere and Nate Maciborski join to discuss the team’s scorching run over the past few weeks, including some walk-off heroics from May cover star Anthony Volpe.

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 to get back on another dominant run like the one he enjoyed in April, he can lean on new hitting coach Dillon Lawson, who chatted with Jon for a Q&A. Lawson’s simple philosophy — “Hit Strikes Hard” — betrays a remarkable complex and layered hitting system that has paid dividends so far in 2022.
