Season 4, Episode 15: Luis Rojas
Luis Rojas is part of a family of baseball royalty. The son of Felipe Alou, Rojas is like a lot of current members of the Yankees, in that he grew up around the highest level of the sport, both in America and the Dominican Republic. Now the Yankees’ third base coach, Rojas stopped by our studio to chat with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for this week’s episode. The two discussed the different ways you have to coach different players, the joys of wearing pinstripes, and the resilience the 2026 team has shown all year long.

Season 4, Episode 14: Paul Goldschmidt
When Paul Goldschmidt decided to return for a second year with the Yankees, the star first baseman — a likely Hall of Famer — recognized that he was likely signing on for a veteran platoon role. And while that can be difficult for some players of Goldschmidt’s stature, baseball has a way of messing with plans. Goldschmidt has been an essential piece of the team’s run this year, while also serving as a mentor to a budding stud in Ben Rice, and as the veteran explains to Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, he’s just following the lead of the players who mentored him as he emerged.…

Season 4, Episode 12: Charlie Hayes
Ahead of Old-Timers’ Day this coming Saturday, we figured it was a good time to look back at the beginning of the most recent Yankees’ dynasty, which became a reality 30 years ago this October, when Charlie Hayes camped under a foul ball near the third base dugout and caught the ball that clinched a World Series title. Hayes, who has a lifetime of baseball memories that his son, Ke’Bryan keeps adding to, chats with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits about his memories from that fateful game, the role he played in 1996 and the joy he gets from reuniting with his buddies. For our second…

We’ve got something different this week, an incredible conversation with Carlos and Ashley Rodón, who discuss their partnership, and how it impacts their lives on and off the mound.

A couple days after Father’s Day, what better time to hear from one of the newest Yankees, Ryan Weathers.

Season 4, Episode 9: Ben Rice
Ben Rice has been on some kind of magical journey this year, as he continues to establish himself as one of the best hitters in the league. And as he tells Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz on this week’s episode, it’s all on account of maniacal levels of preparation, in all facets of the game (and of life). “Ben Arroz” has proven to be uniquely capable of connecting teammates in the clubhouse while also offering the offensive firepower the team needs with Aaron Judge out of the lineup, and he talks about his entire process. Then, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits and Jon chat…

Jake Hirst, what is it you would say you do here, exactly? It’s time to meet the Yankees’ newest assistant hitting coach, a guy who might be a newcomer to the big-league staff this year, but one that Yankees players have known well for years.

Cam Schlittler hopefully has a long career ahead of him, filled with many incredible highlights.

Season 4, Episode 4: David Bednar
Every moment that a closer is on the mound makes for something of a hot seat, so for David Bednar, sitting down for an interview with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for the New York Yankees Official Podcast was hardly a challenge worth noting. But still, the Yankees’ closer, who came over in a deadline deal last year, prefers to do his talking on the field. Quiet and mild-tempered, yet quick to laugh, Bednar has been a force out of the bullpen for his new team, and he chats with Schwartz about leaving his hometown squad to pitch for a winner, rising from the depths of the MLB…

Season 3, Episode 22: Ryan Yarbrough

Season 3, Episode 21: Homer Bush
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…

We have a special one this week, as YES Networks Meredith Marakovits sits down to chat with Doctor K himself, Dwight Gooden.

The Yankees are officially going to the 2025 postseason, and while we wait to find out what the road will look like — and if there will be a Wild Card Series or a bye into the Division Series — what better time to hear from the architect of it all.

Every July, the baseball season takes a brief pause to celebrate the titans of the game, while the majority of the players, coaches and staffers around the league enjoy some much-needed time away from the ballpark.
