It's time to preview my beloved New York Yankees for 2026.

Up next on Fantasy Baseball today.

Welcome to On the Beat, our mini team preview series here at Fantasy Baseball today.

I am Frank Stample, joined by Gary Phillips, who covers the Yankees for the New York Daily News.

Make sure to give Gary a follow on X at Gary H. Phillips.

That's with 2Ls if you're looking for it.

First question, how much time do you have?

Because I can rant about the Yankees all day long,

Let's kind of run through the offseason.

And at time of recording, it is January 14th.

The offseason is incomplete.

By the time this podcast is published, I'm sure the

team will look a little bit different. Or at least that's the hope. They just traded four

prospects away for Ryan Weathers. They brought back Ryan Yarbrough and Ahmed Rosario on one-year

deals. As of now, Cody Bellinger has not resigned, but let's just assume that he is back

for the sake of this. I do believe that he will

be back. We know that they'll have to wait for Carlos Rodan and Garikol and Anthony Volpe to return,

hopefully early in the season, you know, May, June, something like that. Do you think running it back

plus the addition of Weathers is enough to actually take down the ALEs

because all the teams around them

are getting better. The Orioles have made huge moves.
