New York Yankees 2026 Season Outlook
As the 2026 MLB season approaches, the Yankees are projected to win an average of 87 games, with four teams in the competitive American League East having at least a 40% chance of making the playoffs. The aging core, including stars like Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole, raises concerns despite recent successes, as injuries could impact performance. In a minor transaction, the Yankees traded lefty reliever Jayvien Sandridge to the Angels for cash. Meanwhile, retired first baseman Anthony Rizzo is set to join NBC Sports as a studio analyst for Sunday Night Baseball.
