Offseason
The Yankees fired Kevin Long, the hitting coach, and Mick Kelleher, the first base coach on October 10.[2] They also re-signed GM Brian Cashman to a three-year deal that same day.[2]
On November 8, the Yankees re-signed free agent outfielder Chris Young to a 1-year, $2.5 million contract with incentives.[3] On November 12, the Yankees signed left-hander José de Paula to a 1-year major league contract worth $500,000.[4] That same day, the Yankees traded longtime backup catcher Francisco Cervelli to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for left-hander Justin Wilson.[5]
On December 3, the Yankees signed reliever Esmil Rogers to a 1-year, $1.48 million contract.[6] On December 5, the Yankees acquired shortstop Didi Gregorius from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a three-team trade involving the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees sent Shane Greene to the Tigers as part of the trade.[7] That same day, the Yankees signed reliever Andrew Miller to a 4-year, $36 million deal.[8] On December 15, the Yankees signed free agent third baseman Chase Headley, to a 4-year deal worth $52 million.[9] On December 16, the Yankees signed left-hander Chris Capuano to a 1-year, $5 million deal.[10] On December 19, the Yankees traded utility infielder Martin Prado to the Miami Marlins, along with pitcher David Phelps, in exchange for pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, 1B/OF Garrett Jones, and pitching prospect Domingo German.[11] Also on December 19, the Yankees acquired relief pitcher Gonzalez Germen from the New York Mets, in exchange for cash considerations. He was later traded to the Texas Rangers on January 20, again in exchange for cash considerations.[12] On December 29, the Yankees traded reliever Shawn Kelley to the San Diego Padres, in exchange for minor league pitcher Johnny Barbato.[13]
On January 1, the Yankees traded pitching prospect Manny Banuelos to the Atlanta Braves, in exchange for relievers David Carpenter, and Chasen Shreve.[14] On January 6, the Yankees signed infielder Stephen Drew to a 1-year contract, worth $5 million with incentives.[15] On January 11, the Yankees hired Jeff Pentland to be their main hitting coach, along with Alan Cockrell to be the assistant hitting coach.

Season summary
April
The Yankees lost the their Opening Day game on April 6 against Toronto, losing 6-1.[23][24] The Yankees only accumulated three total hits that first game, with a home run by Brett Gardner accounting for the only run scored by the Yankees.[24] They bounced back to win the next game 4–3 on the 8th of April, which was the first Yankees win of the season.[25] On April 28th, ace pitcher Masahiro Tanaka was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a tendinitis in his right wrist and a slight strain on his forearm. It was not connected to the elbow injury he suffered in the previous season.[26] The Yankees would later finish the first month with a 13–9 record atop the American League East division.
The success of the New York Yankees in April was a result of good hitting against opposing team's bullpens and good offense to keep games close. In fact, seven of the thirteen wins in April were decided by one or two runs. Mixing and matching both pitching and offense was also key in the part of manager Joe Girardi.[27] Some notable contributions came from players such as Alex Rodriguez, Jacoby Ellsbury, Mark Teixeira, Chris Young, Brett Gardner,[28] Dellin Betances, and even from the Yankees closer Andrew Miller. Miller, who had joined the Yankees during the off-season, had been impressive with eight saves in eight chances in the month of April.[29][30]
In April, Brett Gardner had also started the trend of having the team grow mustaches and it caught on.[31] The phrase #StacheSquad became popular on social media outlets such as Twitter and Instagram with fans showing support for the team.
May
The Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 4–2 on May 2nd, during which Andrew Miller had set Yankees club history by securing nine saves in the first 23 games the Yankees had played in a season. Mariano Rivera, the former Yankees closer who had retired following the 2013 season, had not even performed this feat during his 19-year career.[32] It was the same game that Alex Rodriguez hit a pinch-hit home run off of Red Sox pitcher Junichi Tazawa, his first as a pinch-hitter, and tied Willie Mays for fourth on the all-time home run list at 660 homers.[33] Rodriguez was emotional following the game. The Yankees not long after had announced they would not be paying Rodriguez the $6 million in bonuses that he was promised when he had signed a contract years before for reaching these marks.[34]
On May 19th, Jacoby Ellsbury was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right knee. This was his first DL stint in his career with the Yankees.[35]
