Offseason

 * Prior to 1946 season: Frank Verdi was signed as an amateur free agent by the Yankees.

Regular season
On May 24, Joe McCarthy, who had managed the team since 1931 and led them to seven World Championships, resigned. Although he had been in ill health, there were also underlying issues with team executive Larry MacPhail and frustrations with the team's performance, especially that of pitcher Joe Page, with whom he had an argument the previous day on the team plane. Long-time Yankee catcher Bill Dickey took over the team. Dickey himself resigned on September 12, and coach Johnny Neun finished out the year at the helm.

Notable transactions

 * June 17, 1946: Frank Colman was purchased by the Yankees from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
