As general managers across Major League Baseball prepare for the final minutes of the official 2023 trading season, New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman knows, better than most, that one of these deals could effect a franchise for decades to come. On July 31, 2003, Cashman made one of those trades.

Aaron Judge is set to return for the New York Yankees on Friday, but once he's back, the team has no more excuses left. They have to make a run to the playoffs.

With the New York Yankees struggling out of the gate in 2023, Aaron Boone's seat appears to be getting hot, if you ask the fans. Who could replace him?

As one of the greatest Major League Baseball players faced the grim reality of premature death, Lou Gehrig considered himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Though he eventually would die at the unthinkable age of 37, less than two years later, Gehrig never lost the appreciation of putting on a New York Yankees uniform. That treasured sentiment continues today in the Bronx Bombers locker-room.
