Today was a dream. I am honored and privileged to represent the Yankees and the city of New York for the rest of my career. Thank you to the Steinbrenner family, my teammates, my family, and most importantly, to the greatest fans in the world. Excited to continue this journey with you..

I am incredibly honored and privileged to officially represent the New York Yankees and the city of New York for the rest of my career. This is more than just a contract—it’s a commitment to a legacy, a city, and a fanbase that means everything to me. From the moment I first put on the pinstripes, I knew this was a special place. The energy, the history, the expectations—everything about being a Yankee is different. It’s bigger, it’s bolder, and it’s built on a standard of excellence.

To the Steinbrenner family, thank you for believing in me and for giving me the opportunity to continue wearing this jersey with pride. Your trust and vision have created something truly special, and I’m humbled to be part of it for the long haul.

To my teammates—past and present—thank you for pushing me, supporting me, and being part of every step on this journey. Baseball is a team sport, and I’m grateful every day to compete alongside such incredible professionals and people.

To my family, your love, patience, and encouragement have been the foundation of everything I’ve accomplished. You’ve sacrificed so much to help me chase this dream, and today is as much your moment as it is mine.

And finally, to the fans—the heartbeat of the Bronx—thank you. Your passion, your loyalty, and your belief in me have never wavered. You show up rain or shine, win or lose, and demand greatness from us every single day. That drive fuels me, and I promise to continue giving you everything I have, every time I take the field.

Wearing the Yankee uniform is an incredible responsibility. It comes with history, pressure, and pride. I embrace it all. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but I know there’s more to do. This journey is far from over, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.
