New York Yankees2024 record: 94-68 (1st place, AL East).He gone: OF Juan Soto, IF Gleyber Torres, OF Alex Verdugo, 1B Anthony Rizzo, RHP Clay Holmes, LHP Nestor Cortes, RHP Tommy Kahnle, LHP Tim Mayza, RHP Lou Trivino, C Jose Trevino.New faces: OF Cody Bellinger, IF Paul Goldschmidt, LHP Max Fried, RHP Devin Williams, RHP Carlos Carrasco, RHP Fernando Cruz, LHP Brent Headrick, LHP Tim Hill.Biggest question entering Opening Day: How will the team’s pitching depth hold up? Ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery) will miss the 2025 season, and reigning AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil (right lat strain) is out for at least three months. Those losses leave the No. 1 slot to Fried, a newcomer who was signed to an eight-year deal after Soto signed a massive contract across town with the Mets.
