New York Yankees 2025 MLB World Series Futures – MLB Lines
Until 2024, as a perennially top-ranked payroll club, the New York Yankees were not getting much bang for the buck. Nor were their fans, who pay some of the highest prices in sports to attend games or watch on TV. Most important of all, gamblers were coming up short too often. The Yankees' last World Series championship was in 2009, their only title since winning three in a row from 1998 through 2000. For all their advantages, the Yankees were not taking advantage. Finally, New York made the 2024 World Series. But the Los Angeles Dodgers dominated New York. Still, it was a season that sparked hope for the future.

Juan Soto is now a New York Met. In the Bronx, it was a sobering moment, a humbling sign for a proud franchise. Soto’s decision was the fulcrum, the turning point not only for this Yankees offseason but also for the next decade of Yankees baseball.
The Yankees are no longer the game’s most dominant financial force. That mantle has been taken over by the big-spending Los Angeles Dodgers, who have launched an ambitious plan to equal and surpass the cultural footprint of the Yanks.
New York Yankees Key Players
Before the Mets could even introduce their new superstar, the Yankees agreed to an eight-year deal with lefty starter Max Fried, one of the game’s most consistent starting pitchers. A trade with Milwaukee to acquire all-world closer Devin Williams further solidified the Yankees’ run-prevention unit as the strength of the ballclub.
Offensively, the Yanks sought to replace Soto in the aggregate, which ... duh. Adding the endearingly aloof Cody Bellinger in a swap with Chicago and veteran Paul Goldschmidt on a one-year pact gives the lineup some much-needed depth. Still, one of Bellinger, Goldschmidt, Anthony Volpe, Jazz Chisholm Jr., or Giancarlo Stanton will need to deliver an All-Star season to provide Aaron Judge with an impactful sidekick. And don’t overlook the loss of Gleyber Torres.
CF Aaron Judge is the marquee man best known for his record-setting 62-home-run campaign in 2022. Last year, Judge produced 58 home runs and 144 RBI.
