As Spring Training kicks off in just two weeks and Opening Day looms on March 27, New York Yankees fans are gearing up for an exciting 2025 season.
While some offseason moves may have left fans wanting more, there’s plenty of optimism thanks to key additions following Juan Soto’s departure.
Yankees’ 2025 season outlook
The Yankees are projected to be a top contender in the American League. According to Baseball Prospectus’ PECOTA projections, New York is expected to finish with the best record in the AL, with an estimated 89.7 wins—just ahead of the Orioles (89.2).
But beyond that, the Yankees made significant changes to their roster, signing Cody Bellinger to patrol center field and acquiring Paul Goldschmidt to handle first base. Additionally, Max Fried was a major pitching acquisition, bolstering a rotation that already includes Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, Nestor Cortes, and Clarke Schmidt.
Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that Jazz Chisholm Jr. has emerged as the frontrunner for the Yankees’ third base vacancy.
