YES Network is the New York Yankees’ broadcast channel. Not a lot of teams have their own channel, as many of them show games through Bally Sports. However, New York is one of the lucky teams.
Will that be the case during Spring Training? For the first time in a while, Spring Training has a lot going on for the Bronx Bombers and fans want to catch a glimpse of everything.
Fortunately, YES Network will be broadcasting a few Spring Training games. However, they will not have all of the games.
Here are the games that will be broadcast on YES Network:
- February 26 – Atlanta, 1 p.m.
- February 27 – Detroit, 6:30 p.m.
- March 1 – Washington, 1 p.m.
- March 4 – Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.
- March 6 – Pittsburgh, 6:30 p.m.
- March 8 – St. Louis, 1 p.m.
- March 9 – Boston, 1 p.m.
- March 11 – Philadelphia, 1 p.m.
- March 15 – Philadelphia, 1 p.m.
- March 21 – Detroit, 1 p.m.
- March 24 – Minnesota, 1 p.m.
- March 26 – Toronto, 1 p.m.
- March 27 – Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.
They also made the curious decision to have Michael Kay and company call the games remotely, which makes for an interesting viewing experience. Nevertheless, these games will be on YES when they begin.
What to watch out for in New York Yankees Spring Training
Whether it’s on YES Network or live in the stadium, there’s a lot to pay attention to this spring for the New York Yankees. For a 99-win team that made the ALCS last season, they have a lot of question marks.
The biggest one is who will be the starting left fielder. There are options, but none of them are particularly great.
The most interesting option is to put Aaron Judge in left field and let Giancarlo Stanton play right field, but that’s possibly sacrificing some defense and risking injury for Stanton.
Shortstop has no starter right now, either. Top prospect Anthony Volpe is expected to be called up soon, but if he doesn’t start, who among Oswaldo Cabrera (potential LF option, too), Oswald Peraza and Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start?
Check YES Network for Spring Training news, but those are going to be interesting battles to watch. To watch these games, most fans have it locally with their cable from New York.
If not, viewers can subscribe to the channel with DIRECTV STREAM, a service available for $75 a month.
