We had hoped to be chatting about a remarkable late run to the postseason, but it wasn’t to be for the 2023 Yankees. But among the high notes of the season, Anthony Volpe’s development ranks pretty high. The rookie phenom made the Opening Day roster, then endured the ups and downs of a debut big-league season.

On his New York Yankees Official Podcast debut, Rodón talks with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about mustaches, the free agent process, and his awesome pitching arsenal. Afterward, Jon and Yankees Magazine editor in chief Alfred Santasiere III discuss Al’s two features in the July issue: a piece about Rodón and another about Harrison Bader.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa wants to be the best bench player possible. That’s hardly faint praise.

We’ve got Tommy Kahnle in the podcast studio this week, and energy is high. We repeat: Energy is high.

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.
