Today is Sunday, which means it’s time for our weekly roundup of social media highlights. While New York City has thankfully avoided snowstorms for the third consecutive Sunday, the Boreas\u2014a cold northern wind named after Greek mythology\u2014is still chilling the Northeast with temperatures in the single digits. Despite bundling up in multiple layers to fend off the cold, the first hints of spring are starting to appear. You might be curious how this weather is possible on the very first day of February; let’s explore!<\/p>\n

\nLast Saturday, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) hosted its annual awards ceremony, where Yankees captain Aaron Judge took home the American League MVP Award for the third time in his career. He was introduced by former teammate Anthony Rizzo, and Sujin Waldman and Dave Sims were also present to celebrate the achievement. <\/p>\n
\nJudge wasn\u2019t the only Yankee recognized at the ceremony. Carlos Rodon and his wife Ashley were honored with the Joanne Payson and Shannon Forde Community Service Award for their work through the Rodon Foundation, which supports couples facing infertility challenges.<\/p>\n
\nThe Yankees recently confirmed the re-signing of Cody Bellinger. To celebrate, the team\u2019s social media posted a special video spotlighting Bellinger\u2019s deep roots with the Yankees, as his father Clay played for New York in the late \u201990s. A nostalgic touch for fans who might already know that background!<\/p>\n
\nSecond baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., alongside his foundation, helped create a cutting-edge computer lab for students at CS55 in the Bronx, making a positive impact off the field.<\/p>\n
\nYankees catcher Austin Wells and his partner joyfully welcomed a baby girl named Lucy Marie Wells this week. Congratulations to the new parents!<\/p>\n
\nDavid Robertson, former Yankees reliever and 2009 World Series champion, officially announced his retirement via Instagram this week, closing the chapter on an impressive career.<\/p>\n
\nJonathan Loaisiga recently signed a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, ending his decade-long tenure with the Yankees. Loaisiga, known for his dynamic pitching but often sidelined by injuries, spent the last eight years with the team balancing roles as a starter and reliever. We wish him success as he aims to revive his career following major setbacks in 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n
\nLast week brought a heavy snowfall\u2014a timely reminder that while the cold is intense, it\u2019s also the kind of weather that requires actual shoveling rather than just bundling up. <\/p>\n
\nWith the arrival of a new season, the Yankees’ staff and equipment crew packed up last Friday, heading south to their spring training location in Tampa, Florida. <\/p>\n

\nAaron Judge\u2019s continued dominance and multiple MVP awards underscore why he\u2019s one of the most exciting figures in baseball today, inspiring both teammates and fans alike. The mix of player achievements, charitable efforts, and roster changes highlighted in this update signals a season of both promise and transition that baseball enthusiasts won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
