MLB Shockwave: Tigers Seize Top Spot as Dodgers Stumble and Mets Ignite a Fierce Comeback!
4. New York Yankees (36-22) 📈
Better. No Juan Soto, no Gerrit Cole, no Luis Gil, no Giancarlo Stanton, no problem. The Yankees have carried on brilliantly amid a slew of injuries and with a new-look roster, and deserve significant credit for doing so. Yes, it most certainly helps to have baseball’s third-highest payroll and the best hitter in the sport in Aaron Judge, but the Yankees have also benefitted greatly from unexpected breakouts like Trent Grisham, a homegrown hidden gem in Ben Rice, and late-career renaissances like Luke Weaver or Ryan Yarbrough. The high-salary headliners (Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt) are excelling too, of course, but the Yankees do a lot more well than just pay for good players, and this season exemplifies that.
