Dear NJ.com supporter: After the franchise’s worst season in decades in 2023, Yankees fans we’re hoping for better, but how many could have predicted this? With superstar Juan Soto now in Pinstripes and proving he’s the best player of his generation, he has recharged a Yankees’ lineup that already included sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and budding superstar Anthony Volpe. Soto has baseball fans wondering: Could this be the year the Yankees end their 15-season championship drought? And now you can receive even more breaking news, analysis and opinion by subscribing to NJ.com’s free Yankees newsletter — delivered to your mailbox every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning.
