The New York Yankees could be looking for arms in the bullpen this offseason and could target one from the New York Mets.

New York has to clear 40-man spots and salary before Nov. 21. Several relievers could be cut so the Yankees can manage payroll and survive 2026 without Gerrit Cole on Opening Day.

Chapman’s time with the Yankees was largely a success until his final season with the team in 2022. Chapman was erratic on the mound, missed a month of the season due to an infection stemming from a leg tattoo and lost his closer’s role.

After a swing change propelled him to a breakout season, Rice may deserve a shot at the Yankees’ full-time starting first base job in 2026.

The New York Yankees are set to enter the 2025 MLB offseason with a few major needs to focus on. After losing to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS, there are obvious things that need to be improved in order to be a top-tier World Series contender in 2026.

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox could get into a bidding war for a few key free agents this offseason.

On an appearance on the “Swing Completo,” or “Complete Swing” podcast, Chapman vowed never to wear the Yankee pinstripes again.
