The Yankees outclassed the Red Sox in 2024, and the two seasons before that. But the Sox may have made up some ground on their rivals for 2025.

The Yankees missed out on Alex Bregman, who signed with the rival Boston Red Sox, and superfan Nick Turturro was not thrilled.

In December, the New York Yankees traded reliever Cody Poteet for 1B/OF Cody Bellinger and $5 million in cash. Bellinger is a former NL MVP who was a big part of the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the 2020 World Series.

A new report suggests the New York Yankees will only go bargain shopping if they make any additions to the roster in 2025.

The first name that jumps out is Yankees’ number two prospect Spencer Jones. Jones could hypothetically take left field from Jasson Dominguez who has struggled at the position placing the Martian in the DH slot. But this is unlikely for a number of reasons.

The New York Yankees still have a hole in their infield after the departure of Gleyber Torres. Have they resisted doing so because they can't afford it?
