New York Yankees Keep 2025 Roster for 2026, Facing Fan Discontent

The New York Yankees are entering the 2026 season with a largely unchanged roster from 2025, a move that has disappointed many fans.

Derek Jeter emphasizes timing and momentum, while Carlos Rodón’s recovery from elbow surgery brings hope.

However, the bullpen remains a critical weakness, and further moves before Opening Day may be necessary to keep the Yankees competitive in a tough AL East.
