Alas, another season ends. This week, Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz and YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits look back on the 2025 season, in particular the 3 games to 1 loss to Toronto in the American League Division Series. They discuss how it all played out, what they heard behind the scenes and the emotions of watching a promising year come to an end short of the goal. Then, they begin the process of looking forward to the 2026 Yankees season. Hope, as always, springs eternal. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the History Books for a chapter about World Series bling.

Season 3, Episode 15: AL Wild Card Series Recap
Behind a performance from the ages by rookie Cam Schlittler, the Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Series, becoming the first team to lose the first game of the three-game series and win the next two. Ahead of the AL Division Series opener in Toronto, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits and Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz take you into the clubhouse, with audio from the YES Network (and help from producer Blayke Scheer), as well as insight and analysis about everything that went on in the three games (and afterward!). Plus, Meredith and Jon get you ready for what should be a raucous start to the ALDS at Rogers Centre, where the Yankees and Blue Jays start things up on Saturday, Oct. 4.

Season 3, Episode 14: Brian Cashman
The Yankees are officially going to the 2025 postseason, and while we wait to find out what the road will look like — and if there will be a Wild Card Series or a bye into the Division Series — what better time to hear from the architect of it all. This week, general manager Brian Cashman drops by to chat with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the ways that he has evolved in his role over nearly three decades, a tenure that would have been truly inconceivable when he took the reins. Then, Jon is joined by YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits for a chat about the clinch, the Champagne and so much more. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the History Books for a chapter on the 1949 Yankees, whose road to the postseason has some echoes in the current moment.

Season 3, Episode 13: Todd Frazier
Before he was 13 years old, Todd Frazier already had a baseball resume that would forever resonate with fans from Toms River, New Jersey, and all parts of the planet. A hero at the Little League World Series, Frazier proceeded to enjoy a decorated MLB career that included two AllStar Game appearances and a stint in pinstripes. Now a youth coach and a YES Network
broadcast, Frazier chatted with YES colleague and New York Yankees Official Podcast host
Meredith Marakovits about life, memories and his perspective on the 2025 Yankees. Then,
Meredith chats with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about other players that
might thrive behind the microphone. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum
presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator turns to a remarkable chapter of
some pretty creative sign-stealing from Yankees history.

Season 3, Episode 12: Bernie Williams
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. For our second segment, Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz joins Meredith to chat about Bernie and the other beloved Bronx Bombers who returned to the Stadium for Old-Timers’ Day. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the history books to a particularly hilarious chapter, a heist tale mixing some of the greatest Yankees ever with just a hint of espionage. You don’t want to miss this one.
