Yankees Betting Secrets Unveiled: Can You Predict the Unthinkable Win?
Offseason moves:
There was only one major move that the Yankees had on their agenda last season, it was to resign Cody Bellinger. They finally did that just a little bit ago and he is locked up for a few seasons now. They signed a few players that are not really major difference makers, but they did trade for Ryan Weathers who should give some innings to their starting rotation. The biggest addition really will be that Gerrit Cole should be coming back healthy for the rotation.
Roster:
Let’s stick with the rotation for now. The team should have Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, Cam Schlittler, Wil Warren, Luis Gil, and Weathers as options. The first three are going to be the primary hurlers, but Cole will be eased back into the mix. With injuries being a certainty, it was a great idea to get the depth for their staff. I’m not fully convinced this bullpen will be elite. They are decent, but I think they are lacking the shut down arms they will need in the playoffs. There is plenty of time to address that, though. David Bednar, their closer, was fine last year, but I’d put him lower in my rankings a lot of other closers. For the lineup, I just don’t feel like they strike a lot of fear into teams. Judge is obviously elite, but he is 33 now, and will be 34 in April. When healthy, he is one of the best hitters in the game. Bellinger is talented, but we’ve also seen that he can struggle significantly for full years. Giancarlo Stanton played in just 77 games last year, but still hit 24 homers. His health will be a major factor for the team. Outside of that, I feel like the Yankees just have average guys. Not everyone can be the Dodgers and field and All-Star team, but it seems like New York has a lot of spots they could make major upgrades. I do think they have a good mix of defensive players, and guys that hit for average. They should be good, but I do think there are other teams that are significantly better.
