The New York Yankees look quite different from the team that just made it all the way to the World Series last year as they head into the 2025 campaign. One constant, though, is that superstar slugger Aaron Judge is still in town. The lineup around him is still a work in progress, but it sounds like one big decision has been made.

As excitement builds for the New York Yankees' season opener, one of Aaron Judge’s teammates received disappointing news regarding an injury. There’s a lot of anticipation surrounding the New York Yankees heading into the 2025 season.
