Growing Everything But The Payroll: The Official 2025 New York Yankees Season Thread

[tremonthustler1]

Well, Stanton might not be ready for Opening Day, which means it's time for the Yankee Season Thread. Nothing says baseball is back like a Yankee already on IL!

Healthy Cole

a legit #2 option in Fried

no more Gleyber and Verdugo!

hopefully Judge with a chip on his shoulder

make or break for Volpe

Wells and Gil entering sophomore year

a real closer!

and... a martian.

Was just laughing to myself about all the excuses they made for verdugo last season, from eyesight to being allergic to batting gloves or whatever. Where did that weak ass bytch end up?

 

[Grifter]

 

[BlueHeffner]

Juan

 

[BlueHeffner]

Wrap him in bubble wrap and save him for October

 

[Mantle Drunk]

Im not excited at all Hal doesn’t care if he did they would get somebody but he just won’t spend another dime. Cashman is clueless.

Have Goldschmidt at first has it occurred to anyone that he’s toast and will likely go the way of DJ and just get worse and worse. Not gonna be much of an upgrade over rizzo.

No third baseman to speak of. No depth whatsoever and most positions. What’s gonna happen when Jazz has his usual IL stint? Don’t even have a viable backup catcher.

Without Soto there’s really no one in the lineup who can hit tough pitching when the pitchers is on and locating and making his pitches. Who could beat a pitcher even when they make there pitch. Who on this team can do that? Judge is amazing and can’t do that. If the pitcher makes his pitch Judge ain’t winning that battle.

I’ll still watch 95% of the games anyway but I’ll hate every second of it.

 

[K-Apps]

Yankees should win the AL East and at worst get to World Series. I’m not even being an irrational fan with that take. Losing to the Royals, Tigers, or Guardians in a playoff series would be

 

[Rev]

Yea we’ll see you after Memorial Day, G.


Excited to watch Martian and all the new additions. I honestly can’t get too giddy about anything Judge does anymore after what happened in October.

And I’m just sad about Soto, really. I’ll be tuned in to a lot of Mets games forreal.

 

[Remote]

Curious to see if Austin Wells improves a bit as a hitter.

I don't anticipate him being a star but he could be a top 5-10 offensive catcher.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

This is the first Yankee season I won't be paying attention to and its entirely due to Boone...

He should of been fired after that disastrous WS...

We're never going to win shyt with this guy...

 

[Nero Christ]

We’ll see how much Soto was holding this offense together real quick. I just want the philosophy of this team to change, and be geared towards contact and athleticism.

 

[Grifter]

Hopefully he can up his contact numbers.
