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...

Last year, Wandy Peralta became the first Yankee in history to pitch in all five games of a Division Series.

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...

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...
