"It's not the same roster, Cashman said (h/t MLB.com). I disagree [that] it's the same team running it back Not afraid to run with the quality and talented roster of players that we do have. I think we've been consistent with that throughout the entire winter. I've been openly willing to challenge anybody that [says] we don't have a championship-caliber roster and team."
"If the last two seasons suggested anything, it is that the Yankees do not, in fact, have a championship-caliber roster. One year before Toronto crashed them out of the ALDS in four games, they were no match for the Los Angeles Dodgers over five games in the World Series. Cashman's club benefits from inhabiting an extremely winnable American League, which finally began reloading last season. The results spoke for themselves."
The New York Yankees kept most of their 2025 roster, added Ryan Weathers, retained Paul Blackburn and Amed Rosario, and signed Cody Bellinger to a five-year, $162.5 million contract. The roster still lacks depth behind Aaron Judge and Bellinger, leaving the lineup barely changed for 2026. Injuries have thinned the rotation: Gerrit Cole will be out until late May or early June after Tommy John surgery, Carlos Rodón will miss the first month, and Luis Gil has encountered issues. When Cole and Rodón return and are healthy, the rotation projects among the league's best alongside Max Fried.
