But after years working his way up the ladder, the Yonkers native will be in the first base coach’s box this season.

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.

A two-time world champ with the Yankees (and, sure, a winner with that team across town, as well), Gooden’s career highlights were as remarkable as his personal and professional lows were devastating. But the pitcher is an open book, and he details the horrors of addiction and the work he has done to remake his life.

If Bernie Williams walked out of the public eye the minute his baseball career ended, he would have more than earned a break. The guy is in Monument Park for a reason, a cornerstone of four Yankees world championship teams. But as he discusses with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits for this week’s episode of the New York Yankees Official Podcast, retirement has been anything but a break for the Puerto Rico native. Williams is busy as ever working on his music, and in between showing Meredith how to strum a few chords, he discusses the similarities between pursuing baseball and musical greatness, his upcoming concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and the work he does to spread awareness for the disease that took his father’s life nearly 25 years ago.

When Tim Hill signed on with the Yankees in the middle of 2024, it was logical to have tempered expectations. The guy had just been cut by the White Sox, who were in the midst of a season that would see them set the record for losses in a season. But the left-hander with the quirky delivery became a crucial part of the Yankees’ bullpen, pitching high-leverage innings in the World Series before re-signing with the team in the offseason.
