It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The offseason is officially underway, as the first trades have been made and the first free agents have inked their newly-earned deals. But even though the Yankees have largely sat quiet so far, there has still been quite a bit of activity on the social media front. What’s in store for this week? Let’s get started!
Congratulations, Cam
While most eyes are on the 2027 season, there was still one final part of the 2026 season that
needed to be wrapped up: the annual BBWAA awards. Not surprisingly, the lead story in the Yankees Universe is Cam Schlittler, who won the 2026 AL Cy Young Award unanimously. Pretty much everybody who had ever been associated with Schlittler, from his college team to several Yankees minor league squads, took to Instagram to celebrate his achievement.
CC Sabathia took to Facebook to celebrate the young ace’s achievement.
And what did Cam himself have to say? Just one word was enough.
Congratulations, Ben
Schlittler wasn’t the only one to receive accolades this week. Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Ben Rice, a fellow Massachusetts native, was named second-team All-MLB at the DH spot. Like with Schlittler, congratulations came pouring down on the popular young player.
Jamo’s Thoughts
Of course, it’s not all fun and games. Now that we’re just two short weeks from the inevitable lockout, Major League Baseball’s propaganda arm is in full swing. Former Yankees pitcher (and current free agent) Jameson Taillon took to Twitter to directly criticize the league for their bad faith negotiations.
Reflections on 2026
Spencer Jones took to Instagram to reflect one last time on the 2026 season.
