The Yankees are rolling out a new-look lineup in 2025, with a fresh combination at the top of the order. With Juan Soto now wearing Mets colors, manager Aaron Boone has given a sneak peek into his plan, slotting Jasson Dominguez into the leadoff role and Cody Bellinger into the No. 2 spot ahead of Aaron Judge.
It’s a logical setup. Judge has already expressed his preference to bat third, which only reinforces the idea of Bellinger hitting right in front of him. While he won’t replicate Soto’s offensive production, the former Cubs slugger brings his own strengths that could mesh well with this Yankees lineup.
