Should we be concerned about the Yankees' outfield defense?
Briefly

In 2025, the New York Yankees aimed to enhance their outfield defense after a poor showing in 2024. They replaced Juan Soto with Cody Bellinger and shifted Aaron Judge back to his Gold Glove-winning right field position. However, early metrics indicated a continuing struggle, with the team's outfield defense rated poorly. Both Jasson Domínguez and Trent Grisham performed below expectations, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the improvements made in the offseason to strengthen their defense.
As the Yankees transitioned into the 2025 season aiming to enhance their outfield defense, metrics initially indicated they had improved, but results were disappointing.
Overall, while the team made efforts to bolster their defense, the performance of new acquisitions and holdovers has led to concerns, especially regarding defensive metrics.
