3B Alex Bregman, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (145 G): .260 AVG, 26 HR, 75 RBI, 79 R, .768 OPS

New York has a clear need at third base, with Alex Bregman standing out as one of the top options available. However, his association with the Astros' 2017 sign-stealing scandal might make him a controversial choice for the Yankee faithful.
LHP Max Fried, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (174.1 IP): 11-10, 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 166 K/57 BB

The Yankees are in talks with Max Fried as they look to strengthen their starting rotation. Pairing the All-Star lefty with ace Gerrit Cole would give New York a formidable duo.

RHP Corbin Burnes, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (194.1 IP): 15-9, 2.92 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 181 K/48 BB

Corbin Burnes, a former Cy Young winner, is another high-profile arm under consideration. Burnes earned a top-five finish in the American League Cy Young voting last season while anchoring the Orioles rotation.
1B Pete Alonso, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (162 G): .240 AVG, 34 HR, 88 RBI, 91 R, .788 OPS

Might the Yanks deliver a Mike Tyson-esque counterpunch by luring Pete Alonso to join Aaron Judge and company? It's certainly possible, given their need for a first baseman after declining Anthony Rizzo's club option. Besides Judge, no one has hit more home runs since 2019 than Alonso.
OF Cody Bellinger, Chicago Cubs
2024 Regular Season Stats (130 G): .266 AVG, 18 HR, 78 RBI, 72 R, .751 OPS

Trade rumors are swirling around Cody Bellinger, and the Yankees could pounce on the opportunity to acquire the former NL MVP. Bellinger’s versatility is a major asset; he could slot in at first base or any outfield position while taking advantage of Yankee Stadium’s short right-field porch with his left-handed swing.

OF Teoscar Hernandez, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (154 G): .272 AVG, 33 HR, 99 RBI, 84 R, .840 OPS

Inking a one-year, $23.5 million contract last offseason, Teoscar Hernandez played a key role for the eventual World Series champion LA Dodgers, setting a career-high in home runs and recording 99 RBI during the regular season. While his defense has some limitations, Hernandez's offensive production more than makes up for them.
OF Anthony Santander, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (155 G): .235, 44 HR, 102 RBI, 91 RBI, .814 OPS

Anthony Santander is coming off the best season of his career, setting highs in home runs, RBI, and runs scored. Santander would thrive in Yankee Stadium's batter-friendly environment as a switch-hitter with significant power.
3B Alex Bregman, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (145 G): .260 AVG, 26 HR, 75 RBI, 79 R, .768 OPS

New York has a clear need at third base, with Alex Bregman standing out as one of the top options available. However, his association with the Astros' 2017 sign-stealing scandal might make him a controversial choice for the Yankee faithful.
LHP Max Fried, Free Agent
2024 Regular Season Stats (174.1 IP): 11-10, 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 166 K/57 BB

The Yankees are in talks with Max Fried as they look to strengthen their starting rotation. Pairing the All-Star lefty with ace Gerrit Cole would give New York a formidable duo.
