Season 4, Episode 6: Jake Hirst Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

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. Hirst took some time during his preparation for the 2026 season to talk to Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about his philosophy, his strengths, and his excitement about debuting in the majors. Then, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits stops by to chat about Hirst’s impact on the team’s offense, her travel routine and the debut of stud prospect Elmer Rodriguez. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator Brian Richards has a History Books chapter on … the fluid nature of the history books.

Don’t forget, the New York Yankees Official Podcast is also available in video form on the Gotham Sports App. Check us out! And if you have questions you’d like Meredith to get answers to, send them to podcast@yankees.com.

Season 4, Episode 4: David Bednar Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

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 Draft’s 35th round and pitching for Team USA in the last two World Baseball Classics. Plus, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits chats with Jon about the first week of the season, the weather forecasts in the Bronx and much, much more. Lastly, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator gets us ready for the home opener with stories about Yankees who hit two blasts in their season debuts.

Season 4, Episode 1: Media Day! Feb 19, 2026

Show notes

You know spring training is underway for real when the Yankees get decked out in their pinstripes and go station to station taking photos and filming short videos for the season to come. And amid the chaos and circus atmosphere, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits got 60 seconds (or so …) with a bunch of the guys on this year’s team. For this week’s episode, we try to give you a taste of what she learned, from whether Spencer Jones has ever been told he looks like Elvis to Aaron Boone’s rendition of the rose ceremony on <The Bachelor.> Then, Meredith and Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz chat about the scene so far in camp, and their first impressions of the 2026 New York Yankees.

Special thanks to YES Network’s Blayke Scheer, Conor Foley and Greg Brzozowski for their help assembling the video clips!

Season 3, Episode 22: Ryan Yarbrough Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

Ryan Yarbrough joined the Yankees just days before the end of spring training last year, and he turned out to be a much-needed swing-man for the team’s pitching staff, moving between the starting rotation and the bullpen. He’s back in pinstripes for 2026, this time with a bit more runway before Opening Day, and he took some time out of his last-minute prep to chat with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits about all that makes him excited about being back with the Yankees. Then, Meredith and Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz chat about the role that Yarbrough can play this year, and they recap this past weekend’s BBWAA Awards Dinner, at which Aaron Judge received his third career AL MVP Award. Finally, Brian Richards opens a fascinating chapter of the History Books, looking back at the offseason when the Babe had to get back in shape.

Season 3, Episode 21: Homer Bush Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

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 your own son (Rays prosect Homer Jr.) chase his own dreams. Then, Meredith is joined by Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for a chat about Carlos Beltrán’s Hall of Fame prospects, and the excitement that comes with covering the all-time greats. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator Brian Richards turns to a chapter about longtime Yankees coach Jim Turner.

Season 3, Episode 19: Adam Warren Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

We’re back in Tampa this week for another episode of the New York Yankees Official Podcast on the road! Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz and YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits have loads to say from the heart of the organization’s winter refuge, where former Yankee Adam Warren stopped by during a break from coaching the team’s fantasy camp last month. The incomparably friendly reliever has plenty to say about his life in retirement, what he has learned from coaching young kids (and sure, from working with fantasy camp players, as well). He also spills some tea on the toughest hitters he ever had to face. Then, Meredith and Jon catch you up on everything happening around the team with the Winter Meetings right around the corner, including a visit from a special guest at the annual Steinbrenner Children’s Holiday Concerts in Tampa — no, not Santa Claus (although the big man in red was there, too), but we’re talking about Aaron Judge. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator Brian Richards opens a chapter of the History Books about the biggest trade in Yankees history.
