Yankees Lose Elite Coach to Mariners, Offseason Option as Rumors Swirl

Yanks Go Yard hosts Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante react to the Yankees losing Tanner Swanson to the Mariners and Shelley Duncan to the Red Sox as the 2026 GM Meetings begin, and lay out what Brian Cashman needs to get done before the lockout.

We debate whether the Yankees should chase Corey Seager, why David Bednar is the offseason priority, and what to do about Ryan McMahon, the outfield, and the pitching surplus (Cody Bellinger to center, Will Warren, Cam Schlittler, Luis Gil, and more). We also break down the Yankees’ thin Silver Slugger finalist list, with Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, and Billy Beane’s claim that Cashman is the greatest GM in baseball history. Plus, the hosts’ take on the Highlanders reveal video.
