The offseason housekeeping will begin soon enough. The New York Yankees' 2025 season is over after they got bounced in Game 4 of the ALDS against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. In some ways, the Bombers were exposed yet again in October.
And yet again, there will be a ton of roster turnover because of the precarious manner Brian Cashman constructed the team. The top-heavy nature with long-term contracts (Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón) puts them in such a situation. Their spending is capped every year and Cashman is frequently looking more for short-term deals and controllable trade acquisitions.
