Spring training is right around the corner, and the New York Yankees are stepping into the new season with a clear mission: prove they can reach—and win—the World Series without Juan Soto.
While their roster is already stacked with talent, they’ve also invited 26 non-roster players to camp, giving some veterans and prospects a shot to make an impact.
Among the invitees, a few names stand out. Veterans like Andrew Velasquez and newly signed pitcher Carlos Carrasco bring experience, while top prospect Spencer Jones arrives with something to prove.
Once a rising star in the Yankees’ farm system, Jones has slipped out of many top 100 prospect lists due to concerns about his contact skills.
