WFAN Baseball Insiders

The Yankees are letting go three coaches from Aaron Boone's staff: hitting coaches Marcus Thames and P.J. Pilittere and third base coach Phil Nevin. Sweeny Murti spoke to all three men on Thursday and got their thoughts on being fired after the disappointing end to the season.

The Baby Bombers era is over. It's time for the Yankees to make some hard decisions on their future. Sweeny Murti discusses some possibilities as the Yanks begin their offseason plans.

Sweeny Murti previews the Yankees' pivotal Wild Card matchup against Boston on Tuesday night, including the matchups he believe will determine who moves on to the ALDS. Plus, a discussion with Bucky Dent, the hero of the last time these two teams faced off in a one-game playoff. The full interview with Dent can be heard on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. on WFAN!

As the calendar flips to October, Sweeny Murti looks at the Yankees' increasing odds to clinch the first Wild Card spot, and what to make of this team as they continue on a hot streak following a lull earlier in the month.

After sweeping the Red Sox at Fenway, the Yankees now hold a one-game lead for the top Wild Card spot with six games to go, but a huge series against the Blue Jays awaits.

The calendar still says September, but the Yankees are playing October baseball starting tonight.  Yankees-Red Sox is the start of a 9-game dash to the finish line.
