Around the Empire: Yankees news - 1/31/25
Briefly

Following the Yankees' failure to secure Juan Soto, they made significant roster changes by bringing in players like Max Fried and Cody Bellinger. Baseball executives are optimistic about these moves, suggesting they could turn out to be beneficial for the franchise. Despite concerns about the Yankees' farm system, which is ranked 21st, experts remain hopeful due to the potential of their 2024 draft class and ongoing international talent acquisitions. Injuries have hindered promising prospects like Chase Hampton, but recovery could see him contributing soon.
"The Soto deal is insane... It could be a blessing in the end. Fried is an ace. Bellinger might hit 30 HRs there and shores up their defense..."
"Their 2024 draft class looks promising. And they always have talent coming from the international side."
