There are many reasons to be excited about the 2023 New York Yankees. Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo were re-signed. Carlos Rodón was brought in to help ace Gerrit Cole anchor what looks to be a stellar rotation. Tommy Kahnle will help an already quality bullpen. The offense, on the other hand, is a bit of a different story; it will be anchored by Judge and will hope for rebound seasons from many of its veterans and the emergence of some key prospects.
Yes, the Yankees are once again genuine championship contenders, even if prospects and a hope for rebounds are not certain qualities of a typical World Series favorite.
