Facing the Seattle Mariners on May 14, New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt did something he has not done since 2011.

Matt Carpenter was an unlikely New York Yankees fan favorite. After opting out of a minor-league contract with the Texas Rangers, Carpenter was hanging out at home when the Yankees threw him a lifeline in May of 2022. He proved that a 36-year-old still has something to offer in baseball.

The New York Yankees are about to have a tough decision on their hands. Giancarlo Stanton is progressing, and his return could complicate playing time for Ben Rice.

The Yankees were able to pick up a victory in Game 1, winning 11-5 with Trent Grisham hitting two home runs. Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe also hit long balls of their own. But the game was overshadowed by a horrific injury to utlity man Oswaldo Cabrera.

Matt Carpenter is calling it a career after 14 seasons in the big leagues. Carpenter, a three-time All-Star who spent 12 seasons with the Cardinals, announced his retirement on Sports Spectrum’s “Get in the Game” podcast with former teammate Scott Linebrink.

With the New York Mets, New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies each logging a pair of series wins last week, the top-tier of MLB teams has become increasingly crowded with no clear-cut No. 1 team in baseball right now.

The New York Yankees' injuries in the infield have been a big theme in recent weeks and it's not getting any better.

The New York Yankees have been linked to Nolan Arenado multiple times over the past year. Still, considering the team has yet to make a move and had little interest in making a deal for him during the offseason, it remains uncertain if the Yankees are truly interested.
