Top 10 Ways the Yankees can FIX Themselves

What do the New York Yankees need to change to compete for a World Series in 2027?

Derek breaks down 10 ways the Yankees can get better, from fixing their fundamentals and developing young talent to upgrading the lineup, strengthening the bullpen, and demanding better leadership.

This Yankees offseason breakdown covers Giancarlo Stanton’s future, Aaron Boone and Aaron Judge’s leadership, and the development of Spencer Jones, George Lombard Jr., Ben Rice, and Cam Schlittler. We also discuss keeping key bullpen arms like David Bednar, targeting Adrian Morejon, and expanding the Yankees’ international scouting—including Teruaki Sato.

Could Ryan Jeffers or Shea Langeliers upgrade the catching position, with Austin Wells moving into a backup role? Should the Yankees pursue Xavier Edwards or Luis Arraez at second base, explore Bo Bichette at third, or trade from their depth to address bigger needs?
