Another day, another Yankees post.

Where did the Yankees' farmhands land on the 2026 MLB Pipeline list? And which one surprised me?

The Yankees re-sign their outfielder, and all of social media is jumping for joy.

OK, maybe not.

But should we be pessimistic?

*Probably* not.

My Take: Yankees Re-Sign Cody Bellinger - Tom's Sports Blog
The Yankees finally get their man by re-signing Cody Bellinger. Are there any other moves to come, and where do they stand as is?

Well, the Yankees have not signed any of the top international guys (Pipeline) thus far. Shocked, I am not.

If that comes to fruition, they will have a lot of money to use later in 2026.

But don’t let anyone fool you.

That was never the plan.

I am supposed to take this seriously when the Yankees didn’t receive one vote for pitcher development?

I am not saying they are the best.

But zero votes when the people voting in the poll constantly target our arms in trades?

Alrighty then.

The Yankees losing Wandy Asigen because they fired their international guy is peak comedy.

What a terrible black eye for the organization, regardless of what Asigen becomes.

Yankees lose nobody in the MLB Phase of the Rule 5.

All the fear mongers on X/Twitter can go back into hiding now over how “great” the talent the Yankees left exposed is.

The Rule 5 Draft doesn’t do much for me. Yes, hidden gems can be found but it is still rare.

The Yankees have roster space but they rarely take anyone in the MLB phase. The last Rule 5 selection who made the MLB roster was Josh Phelps in 2007.
