WIN METHOD - YANKEE BASEBALL BLOG
HOT STOVE NOVEMBER 2025 - FEBRUARY 2026
After another season of making the playoffs, the YANKEES were eliminated in the playoffs. Once again, during this hot stove winter session, the YANKEES, will try to build a team that can take the team into the World Series for the 2026 season. In reality, it all comes down to Hal Steinbrenner. Hal is not his father, does not have a passion for baseball, his only goal is making money. Yes, the YANKEES make him money, but as long as the YANKEES make him money, he does not feel he has to spend more money to make the team better. In Aaron Judge, the YANKEES have the star power to keep the fans coming to the ball park. With Max Fried, Gerrit Cole, the exciting rise of Cam Schlittler and Ben Rice, the fans will come, support and root for the team. As things now stand, the YANKEES will have a competitive and playoff team for 2026, but will they have enough to make the World Series? I will push the WIN METHOD for another year, explain to him who and why. The execution of the plan is on him. The problem, as I see it, is he has other advisors he listens to, with them telling him what he wants to hear, "the YANKEES can be competitive, and make the playoffs without spending more money."
There are so many routes to take to make the team better in my opinion, it likely will cost more money to invest, but the return could very well be worth the extra investment. There are several planned routes available, with each one acquiring different acquisitions and moving present personnel. Any plan will take a full commitment from Hal. Last point on Hal, and I will say it again, he is not Mr.S.
As you can see, WIN METHOD fans, you are taking this site, the world's number one baseball, blog, forum, site to the three billion view mark, likely in December. You are the smartest, most intelligent and knowledgeable baseball fans there are. The stat frauds don't like the WIN METHOD, because the WIN METHOD makes the stat frauds look stupid. Teams and players are not successful because of individual stats, teams and players are successful because of players producing when it counts and matters most to help their team win. Example: The LA Dodgers do not win the WS this season if not for Miguel Rojas, and his home run in the ninth inning with two outs of the seventh game of the WS this season. If he had made out, the game would have been over and the Blue Jays would have won the WS. Miguel Rojas produced when it mattered most at the highest level there is. The stat frauds explain it as luck, a one-off, an anomaly. Stat frauds will forget and ignore Miguel Rojas, the WIN METHOD will remember him forever.
To close this blogpost, and open the hot stove, I would like to thank all you WIN METHOD baseball fans from all over the world, you have made the WIN METHOD the success it has become, with your views and comments, you are spreading the word. The 2026 season is just around the corner, and as always, LETS GO YANKEES and THANK YOU ALL.

I think you hit the nail on the head WIN METHOD. Can only hope for the best over the next few months.
Lets go Yankees.
Cole throwing off the mound already. At this rate of recuperation he could be read to start the season. Think positive Yankee fans.
Sometimes you just can't change people like Hal Steinbrenner. He is in a charge of something he knows nothing about and something his father wanted someone else to run. Just another Yankee roadblock, created from within.
Nice to hear from you again WIN METHOD. Hang in there. Love ya,
I'm salivating at the possibility Cole will be read by opening day. Easy does it, and no setbacks please.
WIN METHOD, regarding your blogpost. I bet you can do several things at a time and pivot from one to the other, but can the Yankee hierarchy?
The Yankees win the team AL Silver Slugger Award. Big deal, meaningless stats. Wins are the only stat that count and are the only thing players and teams should play for.
It means something to the stat frauds, which is exactly why they have earned the name, stat frauds.
With Bellinger on the market I wonder how many suitors will try to low ball him based on his year with the Yankees and the right field advantage when batting.
Jasson Dominguez will be playing winter ball with the Yankees giving him the OK with no restrictions. A big plus for his development time line.
The hot stove is ice cold, not even a flicker. What's up?
How about this for off season news: > Cleveland Indians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody. Stupid is as stupid does.
You make gambling easy and you allow bets on minor garbage, there will be players happy to pick up extra tax free money - until they are caught.
I believe that Yankees will sign a major Japanese impact player this winter.
The Yankees have a new first base coach. Dan Fiorito, the club’s minor league outfield/infield coordinator, will be promoted to the big league staff. Fiorito, 35, played in the Yankees’ minor league system from 2013 to 2016. After his playing days were done, he make the move into coaching. He managed the Gulf Coast League Yankees in 2019, then moved up to manage High-A Hudson Valley in 2021 and Double-A Somerset in 2022.
Let's sign two Japanese players early, and then play the market on any other needs. But think it out before doing something stupid.
Gerrit Cole says that his rehab is "going great"
Pirates Skenes a Yankee? That's what Skenes wants.
Yeah, I heard that. His girl friend is from NYC/north Jersey area and a Yankee fan. Forever what that means.
If you asked me to name the 500 most criminally corrupt politicians today, I would have to name 500 radical leftwing liberal progressive demonrats. All of which are holding high offices today. Senators, US Representatives, Governors, Mayors, and some recent retirees.
My minimum would be a 1000 with a goal of 10,000. Throwing in the socialists also.
Aaron Judge has won the 2025 AL MVP award. It is his third time winning . 🏆🏆🏆⚾⚾⚾🏆🏆🏆
Good for Judge, he deserved it.
The Cal Raleigh fans are whining and crying that their guy didn't win.
Aaron Judge three time MVP. As good as it gets.
The plan, the plan, whatever the plan, I hope the Yankees have a good one.
A reminder and a tenet of the WIN METHOD. You are not the best unless you win.
Thank God, the USA Border Patrol had finally come to Charlotte to clean out the criminal illegals who the demonrats let into the country to destroy America. Support the Border Patrol who are trying to make America safe again.
Our cities and states must be eradicated of illegal aliens who were allowed to enter our country by the most criminally corrupt administration in American history. They all committed treason on our country and on us, we the people.
All sanctuary cities, towns, states must also be 100% eliminated. Anyone interfering with the cleanup of these areas should be arrested, charged, and found guilty of obstruction of justice and sentenced to 20 years in federal prison with no parole of any king.
Someone needs to throw some wood into the hot stove to fire it up.
Yankee resign Ryan Yarbrough. Yarbrough will receive a base salary of $2.5MM with an additional $250K in performance bonuses available to him for 2026 season.
What has happened over the past ten years since Donald Trump came down the escalator and announced he was running for President of the USA. Well. let's see now. The democrat party does not exist anymore as it was. It has suffered a total collapse due to TDS. **Trump Derangement Syndrome"". They democrats are no more, they are now totally and completely radical left wingers, liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, liars, frauds, ignorant, haters, demented, terrorists, anti-Americans, with the sole goal of wiping out the American way of freedom and liberty. They believe men are women, support, defend, and give aid to criminal illegal alien pedophiles, robbers, rapers, arsonists, murderers, and terrorist. The worse is, almost half of the American voters support them. They protest ICE, the Border Patrol, the FBI, and local police from trying to arrest and deport illegal criminals. How utterly sad. There is so much more I could say. We are all living the democrat debacle.
The dems are so screwed up, and are voting for some very screwed up people who are hell bent socialists who will wreck the country. I think things are going to get worse, and there may be big trouble brewing. I just hope President Trump will not be afraid to pull the trigger before it gets to late.
About one third of the people in our country are totally screwed up mentally and/or hate America and/or criminals. That is one third too much. Get rid of them all one way or another.
Yarbrough is a competitor, I like him and his demeanor. I can see him doing well this season, again.
It is sickening to see just how many radical leftwing demoncrat cities there are in America. Crime cesspools, and all for the same reason.
One thing went down under Joe 'Brandon' Bidens tenure as president, the math and reading levels of the American school children, and they went way down. Devastating news.
Today, the Yankees selected the contracts of outfielder Spencer Jones and righties Elmer Rodriguez and Chase Hampton, and place the three players on the 40-man roster, thus making them ineligible to be selected by another club in December’s Rule 5 Draft.
Trent Grisham has accepted the Yankee qualifying offer for 2026.
OK, the Yanks made their choices of who to protect. The Yanks didn't want to lose them, so it should be about time to use them.
Oh my God, I don't believe what I just saw on TV. Several radical insane leftwing progressive senators and congressmen/women were shown in a political advertisement telling our military personnel to refuse to obey a military order given to them if they thought the order was unlawful. That would be treason. These politicians should be asked to resign their positions of office immediately. ------ And then dealt with legally.
I just saw the ad now, how is that talk even allowed. That is treason in my eyes. These politicians are encouraging military personnel to disobey orders and that could be deadly. I can't believe it. the progressives are now socialist communists. They have to be stopped.
The people in the video are trying to incite a rebellion and doing it with lies and their fake reality. They are dangerous people and must be shut down. How in hell do people vote for them.
Hear me one and all. You vote for a liberal - progressive - socialist - democrat - demoncrat - leftwinger, you are voting for people who will destroy you and our country. Wake the #*^& up.
The left of this country is taking this country down, they are backed by billionaires like the Soros family and they will spare no expensed. They hate the good America stands for.
Bad stuff going on with the democrat socialists. TDS is making them crazy.
Isn't what these politicians are doing exactly what they lied about President Trump of doing and he didn't say or do. They made it up. Now they are making ads encouraging, inciting, and supporting treason by our volunteer military. These people should be in jail, and not fomenting rebellion.
President Trumps response to the demonrats video. What they said was seditious and dangerous to the country. Punishable by prison time and execution.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
The six liberal demonrat scum who told our military men and women to disobey orders given to them by their superiors if they thought the orders were illegal. When asked to name or describe an illegal order given, they could not. These six lying corrupt liberal radical leftwing progressive demonrat politicians are un-American. Everyone out there who voted for them should be embarrassed and if not embarrassed should see a doctor about your severe depilating TDS condition which renders you crazy ignorant.
The disgusting six. Yet brain dead people fall for their lies and BS. While Trump is trying to make America great again, they do whatever they can to prevent him from doing so. They are the worst of the worst. So bad, that they looked the other way as their colleagues ran a corrupt America destroying shadow government for four years using a demented corrupt dumb man as foil president.
Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy with your family and friends. And get your Christmas shopping done.
Happy Thanksgiving and turkey, and stuffing, and cranberry, and sweet potatoes, and gravy.
Almost to the minute right now, JFK was assassinated.
Hope everyone is ready for Thanksgiving. if not, you better get on the ball. Happy Thanksgiving.
Everyone, wherever you are, or are going to be, have a fantastic Thanksgiving.
Hot stove heating up as Ranger trade second baseman Semien to Mets for outfielder Nimmo in a one for one deal.
Happy Thanksgiving and lets go Yankees.
Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy who you are with and what you are eating. DO NOT drink alcohol and drive.
It's Thanksgiving Eve, Turkey tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving Yankee fans.
Two National Guardsmen shot to death in Washington DC this afternoon. Time for President Trump to drop the hammer on all illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities, and the people who support them and terrorists. This includes all politicians and civilians who support the scum of America. Get these crap people out of America.
The heck with the hammer, drop the guillotine on them.
Say a prayer for the two murdered Guardsmen and their families. How horrible.
Nathan, your prayers worked, both men are alive.
West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey initially said that the guard members were from his state and had died, but he later walked that back, saying his office had received “conflicting reports” about their status.
The parade is starting. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
God bless America. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.
Turkey day. Celebrate with reverence and joy. Happy Thanksgiving.
Santa has made his appearance, it's Christmas season. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Christmas next up.
It's filthy Friday also known as black Friday also know as sales day, ha ha suckers.
Hope everyone had a pleasant Thanksgiving.
No major deals, no major signings, hot stove is barely lukewarm.
I prefer Bellinger over Tucker.
The radical leftwing of America has a severe case of TDS. TDS makes the people suffering from it mentally incompetent, insane, irritated, belligerent, haters, and deniers. Their self-cure in their minds is destruction of America, American freedoms, and the American way of life. There is only one cure. So be it.
Great news for Yankees fans, Devin Williams is gone. He signs a 3 year over 50 million dollar contract with the Mets.
How about the billion dollar theft by the liberal, progressive, demonrats in Minnesota. Aiding and abetting terrorist in Somalia. Typical left-wing behavior. Are you one of the all too many who are stupid enough to vote for these dirt bags?
Interesting how the demonrats always support their voting base. The criminals of the world. Terrorists, drug dealers, illegal aliens, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, arsonists, and any other crimes
The demonrats love and live by climate change and how it will destroy the world with fires, floods, hurricanes, typhons, tornados, and any other catastrophe the have witted brain dead lying idiots can come up with. >>>>> The point being, the absolutely no hurricane touched down on any point in the USA this year.
Let's be clear, since the inception of the universe, climate change has been a one hundred percent natural phenomenon. The is absolutely nothing that the demonrats, liberals, progressives, left-wing radicals, climate scientists, you, me, of anyone in the world can do about changing the climate anywhere, despite their lies, corruption, and ignorance.
There sure are a lot of uninformed, ill-informed, and paid for voters out there that vote for D's, L's, P's, and S's out there. Very sad.
How about the DC pipe bomber being caught by a republican run justice system after the democrat run justice system did nothing about pipe bomber for their four years of corruption and solely going after Trump and countless other republicans and conservatives. The most criminal and corrupt presidential administration in the history of the USA.
Is everyone getting ready for Christmas? Shopping, events, gatherings, shows, food, drink, family, friends? No matter, there is still time. Merry Christmas all.
Don Mattingly was not voted into the MLB HOF. Only Jeff Kent received enough votes to be inducted into the Hall in 2026.
My take is once the first domino falls (Yankee acquisition) we may know the direction the team is trying to take, if any.
Closer, Edwin Diaz, signs with LA Dodgers. No details on contract yet, but likely multi-year over $20 mil per year.
Schwarber re-signs with Philly for five years, 30 mil per year.
Pete Alonso signs with the Orioles, five years around 150 million total. Mets have now lost Diaz a top closer and Alonso a top first baseman. Looks like the good guys are fleeing 'look at me' Soto.
Soto on the Mets is making many top players want to leave the team, and they are. Best WIN METHOD said it all along, Soto leaving the Yankees was the best thing to happen to the team.
Yankees have signed Cuban 1B/OF Ernesto Martinez Jr. to a minor league contract.
I have been a METS fan for over 20 years and it just gets worse and worse every year. Now with the trade of Alonso (aka David Wrights brother). Its over. And all the other BS going around with the Mets organization which I wont get into. I am entirely done, and honestly I am going to be wearing a Yankees jersey and may even go to a few Yankees games. Trust me it is very hard for me to say that. Bye Mets. Hello Yankees.
Welcome to the right side. The best team in the history of baseball, the best team in NYC, and the best Yankee baseball site in existence.
The more Yankee fans the better.
President Trump is doing a great job on the economy, with prices dropping lower going forward. Inflation is under control reversing the Biden demonrat deadly inflation for four years. Fuel prices are the lowest again since the last time Trump was in office, and where out of control during the Biden demonrat corrupt regime of criminals. The border sealed and the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens are being deported, the ones that the scum Biden criminal administration flooded the country with. The demonrat run cities are hell holes where criminals are given sanctuary and supported and protected by the most ignorant demonrat voters in the history of America. NEVER vote for a demonrat, liberal, progressive, communist, radical leftwing candidate again. You, who have voted for these scum of America, are the ones who have allowed these criminals to rise to power, and are destroying America and the good hardworking people of America.
The Dutch left-handed pitcher Tijn Fredrikze officially signed with the New York Yankees.
Still in his teens, some really good stuff, but is wild as heck. You never know.
The Yankees and reliever Luke Weaver are talking, but Weaver is talking to several other teams also.
One week until Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2026! The 250th anniversary of America. It's going to be a great year.
Luke Weaver to sign with Mets, a two year 22 million dollar deal, pending a physical.
Merry Christmas.
Headed to Florida and a warm Christmas with our daughters family. Will be looking for property to move to. Have to get out of New York and northeast. Merry Christmas everyone.
Hope you find a place to move to Vince. We moved to SC two years ago from the Bronx. It was the greatest thing we ever did. NYC is a disaster and keeps getting worse. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays.
Winter is here, shortest daylight of the year, four days until Christmas, and eleven days to a new year. With glee and joy, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. The best is yet coming, enjoy.
Yankees and Blackburn agree to terms, one year two million with incentives.
Wishing everyone in the world a Merry Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
And stay by my side till morning is nigh
Merry Christmas WIN METHOD fans.
Merry Christmas. YANKEES 2026.

Merry Christmas.
Jesus Christ is born. Merry Christmas. Peace on Earth.
Merry Christmas, time for Christmas waffles and bacon. Yummy.
Hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas. God bless you all.
Nothing happening on the Yankees front as we head into the last week of 2025.
Hope everyone had a great holiday however each of you celebrated and who you celebrated with. Looking forward to a fantastic new year for all. And, of course, the New York Yankees.
Blizzard headed to NYC tonight. At least 6 plus inches. perfect for the weekend after Christmas.
There are a couple of days left, but it looks like the Yankees will end the year doing nothing personnel wise.
How about the Minnesota demonrat liberal progressive criminals ripping off and defrauding the American taxpayers (that's you and me) to the tune of nine billion dollars.
And people vote for these criminals. Are than many voters that utterly stupid? Oh YES.
Give the criminals a choice. deportation or execution.
The Yankees are closing the year with a bang, he said sarcastically, re-signing infielder Amed Rosario to a one-year contract. The deal pays Rosario $2.5MM in salary, plus another $225K is available in incentive bonuses.
Happy New Year. One day left in a great 2025 year. 2026 gets even better.
Happy New Year - 2026 - It is going to one heck of a great year.
Everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR.
HAPPY NEW YEAR - HEALTHY AND WEALTHY ONE ALSO - D0 NOT DRINK AND DRIVE
Happy New Year. It's 2026.
Happy New Year
Hoping everyone is having a great holiday season. 2026 is here, have a great year folks, Trump has set the table, just hope the demonrats don't overturn it,
Happy New Year -- college football all day.
Let's see if the Yanks do something, personnel wise in 2026 since they did nothing in 2025 hot stove wise.
All hail President Trump who sends American troops into Venezuela and captures the drug lord criminal Maduro and his wife. Both now be transported to USA were they have been indicted. Great start to the year.
Thank you President Trump.
Hal, sell the team already to someone who actually wants to win or resurrect your father.
The whinny sniveling demonrat politicians are complaining about one of their criminal and corrupt buddies was captured by the US military at his home in Valenzuela and brought to the US to face trial. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Trump and his administration needs to make sure Valenzuela gets run by a MVGA person who is aligned with the USA and not a biden-obama criminally corrupt sycophant.
President Donald Trump is special, in a very good way.
Just think how happy the Venezuelan and Cuban people who fled their home countries and came to America LEGALLY are today as they are dancing in the streets and praising President Trump and his administration for what they have done. I watched on TV a Venezuelan mother crying as she was telling the world she would now be able to go to her home country and show her children where she grew up before fleeing persecution. So heart warming, and so overdue.
Tiny Tim Walz, the criminally corrupt Minnesota governor will not run for governor this year. He says he has to prepare for trial on charges of his criminally corrupt fraud charges while he has been governor.
Here we are starting the first full week of January and the Yankees haven't done anything yet. Like the tortoise and the hare.
Yankees and Bellinger still negotiating but word is they are still reasonably far apart
