With spring training in full swing, the Yankees have been making cuts recently as the Opening Day roster takes shape, although they still have more than 26 players in camp. The pitching rotation is looking solid, with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, Marcus Stroman, Nestor Cortes, and Clarke Schmidt expected to start. The bullpen has some surprises, with notable performances from Nick Burdi, Luke Weaver, and Ian Hamilton. In the catcher position, Jose Trevino and Austin Wells are likely choices, while Anthony Rizzo, Gleyber Torres, DJ LeMahieu, and Anthony Volpe are expected to hold down the infield. The outfield seems strong with Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham waiting to deliver some serious offense.
Meanwhile, on the bench, Jorbit Vivas and Oswaldo Cabrera are vying for spots as versatile utility players. There are still some uncertainties surrounding specific positions, especially with Trevino's calf strain and the need for a potential infield upgrade, but the Yankees are shaping up for an exciting start to the season.
