Ten Yankees set to benefit from potential MLB roster expansion

If MLB has plans to expand rosters in order to begin the 2020 season, a handful of New York Yankees players are set to benefit from extra playing time.

How the 2020 Major League Baseball season is going to look remains a mystery. Could the league still attempt to squeeze in a full 162-game season with multiple double-headers per week? Or cut the season in half, leading to a fragmented New York Yankees season?

The latest reports indicate that the MLB is looking at hosting seasons in Florida and Arizona, at spring training facilities. For 2020 at least, the league could adjust its realignment with the Yankees playing in a division with the Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, and Pittsburgh Pirates.
