11 Nov
Summary
- Yankees aim to upgrade offense and coaching staff for 2027 season.
- Aaron Judge's health is seen as a significant advantage for the lineup.
- Max Fried underwent elbow surgery and will resume throwing in December.
The New York Yankees are making offensive improvements and evaluating their coaching staff a top priority this winter, looking ahead to the 2027 season. General Manager Brian Cashman expressed confidence in Aaron Judge's health, anticipating his return will significantly bolster the lineup's depth.
Cashman also revealed that pitcher Max Fried recently underwent a procedure to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. Fried is slated to begin a throwing program in early December, with the aim of being ready for spring training.
The team is actively searching for new coaches and considering acquisitions or upgrades at several positions, including third base, second base, catcher, and center field. Judge's diminished playing time in 2026, due to injuries, contributed to the team's reduced run production and subsequent playoff exit.
