    Season 3, Episode 22: Ryan Yarbrough
    Jan 29 2026
    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. Then, Meredith and Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz chat about the role that Yarbrough can play this year, and they recap this past weekend’s BBWAA Awards Dinner, at which Aaron Judge received his third career AL MVP Award. Finally, Brian Richards opens a fascinating chapter of the History Books, looking back at the offseason when the Babe had to get back in shape. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Season 3, Episode 21: Homer Bush
    Jan 15 2026
    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.

    Season 3, Episode 19: Adam Warren
    Dec 4 2025
    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.

Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz and YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits are on location for Yankees Fantasy Camp, but as Claiborne makes clear, preparations are well underway for the real-live Yankees’ quest for the 2026 World Series championship.

    Season 3, Episode 17: Doc Gooden
    Oct 30 2025
    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. Learn more about your ad choices.
