| 5/13/25 | Why the worry over Ben Rice's Yankees role is so silly. Joel Sherman Why the worry over Ben Rice's Yankees role is so silly By Joel Sherman Published May 13, 2025, 6:30 a.m. ET Ben Rice hits a home run for the Yankees during a game on April 29, 2025. Getty Images You know what Ben Rice is going to do when Giancarlo Stanton returns from the IL — play, and play a lot. If you are a Yankees fan and how much Rice is going to play is what is concerning you right now, then, really, stop. Guys who hit, play. Period. That has been a rule in baseball for a hundred-plus years and it certainly is now when offense is still difficult to generate. This reminds me somewhat of the spring non-story when Marcus Stroman defiantly stated he was a starter and how that Source: https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/sports/yankees-will-... |

Joel Sherman Some signs the Yankees' pipeline for hitters is getting better By Joel Sherman Published May 6, 2025, 6:00 a.m. ET The Yankees' Ben Rice bats in the rain during a game against the Padres at Yankee Stadium on May 5, 2025. Robert Sabo for the NY Post The Yankees have spent most of the post-Core Four-plus-Bernie-Williams period unable to develop average or better position players in any group fashion. They would hit on a Robinson Cano or a Brett Gardner or an Aaron Judge, but not accumulate much in volume at one time. Lately, it appears they are doing better in this realm — not only getting homegrown position players to the majors, but, notably, more lefty hitters. And they also are Source: https://nypost.com/2025/05/06/sports/yankees-pipel... |
| 5/02/25 | Yankees breakout star predicted to earn first All-Star nod. Ben Rice is well on his way to a breakout season. The 26-year-old slugger has turned into a star within the New York Yankees lineup thanks to some strength he added during the offseason. The Yankees have always been high on his upside from the left-handed batter's box, but even Rice's staunchest supporters are likely a bit surprised at his incredible start to the season. It's difficult to say whether the second-year slugger will maintain this torrid pace, but The Athletic's Jim Bowden predicted Rice will earn his first All-Star nod as the American League's designated hitter.
