The New York Yankees are facing a pivotal moment as they head into the 2025 season, and the latest ZiPS projections paint a rather sobering picture. With Juan Soto no longer in the lineup, the Yankees are projected to see a significant drop in offensive production, with their position players expected to contribute around 10 fewer wins than last season. This raises some intriguing questions about the future of the franchise.
Is Aaron Judge's stellar performance sustainable, or are we witnessing the peak of his career? With projections indicating a potential dip in his production, how will the Yankees compensate for the loss of Soto and the expected regression of their star player?
Moreover, the Yankees' lineup appears to lack the excitement and depth that fans have come to expect. With Jazz Chisholm Jr. projected as their second-best position player and a concerning first base/DH situation, can the Yankees realistically contend in a competitive AL East? Should they be looking to make significant trades or signings before Opening Day to bolster their roster?
On the pitching side, the signing of Max Fried has raised eyebrows, especially given the injury risks associated with their rotation. Is this a gamble worth taking, or could it backfire if key pitchers like Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón struggle to stay healthy?
As we gear up for the 2025 season, what bold predictions do you have for the Yankees? Will they find a way to rebound and reclaim their status as a powerhouse, or are we witnessing the beginning of a decline? Share your thoughts, insights, and any experiences you have with similar situations in baseball history. Let's dive deep into the future of the Bronx Bombers!
