MLBTR’s team research is on the upcoming deadline, and the Yankees are still continuing. The Bronx bombers have been working hard to win the World Series, and this year is certainly no exception. The American League East and Wild Card Games are also tight, but the Yankees will obviously do their best to strengthen the playoff roster.
Record: 51-41 (89.8% playoff probability, each range)

Potential demand: starting pitcher, third baseman, rescuer
Before the 2025 season begins, the Yankees rotation explodes. Louis Gill He was diagnosed with LAT stress in early March, which meant he was destined to miss a good part of the first half. A few days later, more ominous news came Gerrit Cole Some tests were performed on his elbow. When he underwent surgery for Tommy John, the worst of the situation eventually emerged.
Cole will miss the entire season. Gil may be regaining the mix at some point but is still on the injured list and has not started the rehabilitation mission. Despite two major challenges, the rest of the starters put the club above the water. Rotation averaged 3.69 this year, ranking eighth in the Grand Slam. Leftist The biggest explosion and Carlos Rodón Everyone has earned a salary this year. Guys like it Clarke Schmidt,,,,, Will Warren and Ryan Yarbrough It’s done a great job in supporting Fried and Rodón. Marcus Stroman Just returned from IL, but both Yarbrough and Schmidt landed on the shelves recently. As far as Schmidt is concerned, he will undergo surgery by Tommy John and will not be back this year.
Looking ahead to the club’s playoff rotation, Fried is a lock. Rodón will be, too, although his injury record is well known at this point. Warren has thrown about 130 innings in 130 innings over the past three years, up to 90 innings so far this season. Will there be any questions about his playoff effectiveness when he enters the 150-175 range? Stroman didn’t trust the club’s playoff game last year, and they tried to trade him in the winter. It is presumed that he has not improved his position in 2025 as he has been injured most of the year. Cam Schlittler There is a chance to get into the professional right now, but there is not much time to prove yourself before the deadline. So adding starters is a priority and General Manager Brian Cashman has confirmed a lot.
