Every other week, we bring you exclusive interviews with Yankees players, coaches, alumni or front office executives. Plus, Yankees Magazine’s editors take you inside their feature stories and discuss what’s happening around the stadium.
The kids have arrived, and this week, we have Everson Pereira chatting with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz. The Venezuelan outfielder discusses his last days in the minors, his first days in The Show, and what he has learned thus far. He also talks about the role family played in his ascent, and his hopes for the future. Then, Jon is joined by Yankees Magazine executive editor Nathan Maciborski to discuss Old-Timers’ Day and Nate’s feature on likely AL Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole, who graces the cover of the September 2023 issue of Yankees Magazine.
