Dear NJ.com supporter:
After their thrilling run to a World Series in 2024, the Yankees were one of Major League Baseball’s favorites to take another shot this season at winning their first world championship in 16 years — even with slugger Juan Soto leaving for a historic contract with the Mets.
But it might not be so easy.
Pitching ace Gerrit Cole is lost for the season with Tommy John surgery, slugger Giancarlo Stanton is fighting tennis elbow (in both arms!), and before the Yankees even left Florida, major question marks were popping up everywhere.
Can the Yankees cobble together a pitching rotation without Cole, a Cy Young Award winner and likely Hall of Famer?
Will this be yet another season when Stanton bounces on and off the Injured List?
Can slugger Aaron Judge carry the offense with Soto gone?
Will young outfielder Jasson Dominguez finally live up to his promise?
Can shortstop Anthony Volpe take a major step toward superstardom?
Will free-agent signee Paul Goldschmidt be reborn as the Yankees’ first baseman?
