Another pivotal New York Yankees season. What else would we be signing up for? It feels like every year since 2017, the team has been faced with future turnover questions as early as spring training.
Brian Cashman further constructed this 2024 roster to live like there’s no tomorrow, and that’s very much the case for many players on the 40-man roster.
Yes, guys like Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo, Gleyber Torres and Clay Holmes are free agents after the season, but they don’t fall into the category of “fighting for their futures.” Their futures might not be in New York, but they’ll have plenty of life beyond 2024.
Some other players won’t be so lucky. They might get outright tossed off the roster. They might have to take a demotion. They might be subjected to minor-league deals the rest of their careers. They might be straight up unwanted when all is said and done.
The early going of spring training is crucial for a few of these players to establish their footing for 2024. Others will get a chance to make their case for the entire season. But the struggle is real for many well-known Yankees players.
There are 7 Yankees who are fighting for their futures heading into the 2024 season. They are Everson Pereira, Oswaldo Cabrera, Oswald Peraza, Ron Marinaccio, Jonathan Loaisiga, Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Boone.
