I don't like their chances to begin with. Look a the holes the soon to be lost FAs have created. The entire team has to change their approach at the plate to get their numbers up. It's all a tall ask. I really do think a retool is in order as the current window was missed. Trading one of Bo or Vlad is needed to get prospects and young guys back to go at it again in a couple seasons.
Donaldson isn't worthy of a roster spot even if they're competing for a championship. He's totally useless at the MLB level. It kinda sucks to have that seemingly negative approach but having so many holes is a tough spot to be in realistically. I could see management taking one last stab at just going for it but that wastes tradeable assets. Also it would be a half assed attempt as ownership isn't ponying up Yankees money to win by free agency. I really think a retool could do wonders. Bo or Vlad deal brings back a farm. If Springer and Romano could be shopped for a couple young guys that would be great too. In the 2025 season you bring up some internal talent who you just traded for and see if you can build toward a winner from there. It's not a complete rebuild if done right.
