by Yankees fans are restless. No trades. No signings. Just silence and speculation. And when that happens, the internet does what it always does — it fills the void with noise.
This time, the noise came from a YouTuber and several X account users who accused Yankees president Randy Levine of being “in the Epstein files,” then jumped straight to demanding his removal if true.
That’s not reporting. That’s reckless.

What the Documents Actually Show
Yes, Randy Levine’s name appears in publicly circulated Epstein-related document dumps. But context matters — and context is exactly what was ignored.
In the PDFs being passed around online, Levine is listed once among hundreds of prominent business, academic, media, and philanthropic figures connected to a large investment and charity network. These documents are structured as broad relationship and investor lists — not criminal allegations, not flight logs, not witness testimony.
On page four of one document, Levine is identified simply as “Randy Levine (NY Yankees)”, sitting in a long roll call that includes CEOs, university presidents, foundation leaders, politicians, and corporate executives.
No accusations. No narrative. No implication of wrongdoing.
The second document mirrors the same setup and context — again placing Levine in a wide professional and philanthropic universe, not in connection to any crime, allegation, or investigation.
The Leap From Fact to Smear
The logic being pushed was painfully simple: a name appears near Epstein-related paperwork, therefore guilt, therefore fire him immediately.
That logic collapses under even basic scrutiny.
By that standard, hundreds of people — spanning every political ideology imaginable — would be declared guilty by proximity alone. That’s not accountability. That’s internet vigilantism.
And let’s not pretend politics weren’t part of this. Randy Levine is a known supporter of Donald Trump. The loudest voices amplifying this claim came from users openly hostile to Trump and anyone associated with him.
This wasn’t about uncovering truth. It was about finding a politically convenient name and running with it.
Words Matter — Especially With Reputations
Levine has been a central figure in Yankees leadership for decades. If there were legitimate evidence tying him to criminal behavior — not recycled list placement — it wouldn’t be confined to YouTube clips and social media threads.
Instead, what we got was a familiar pattern: “If it’s true” disclaimers paired with immediate calls for termination.
You don’t get to torch someone’s reputation first and fact-check later.
This Is How Misinformation Spreads
Yankees fans deserve better than outrage farming disguised as concern.
Read the documents. Understand what these lists actually represent. Learn the difference between association and accusation.
Because once we normalize guilt by proximity, nobody is safe — not executives, not players, not fans.
And no, dropping the word “Epstein” next to someone’s name doesn’t magically turn speculation into fact.
Do better.
