They want to see the Yankees build a super team.Could this be the year for the New York Yankees?New York Yankees outfielder Aaron JudgeThe New York Yankees have addressed nearly every box they needed to over the offseason. They re-signed both Anthony Rizzo and Aaron Judge to remain in the middle of their order. Losing either of those guys in free agency would have killed their offense.They also signed one of the best left-handed pitchers in the league during the offseason. Carlos Rodon will operate as an ace behind Gerrit Cole. Rodon is coming off two of the best seasons of his career, and that trend will likely continue.The front office is excited to get a full season from Oswald Peraza, who they have already named the opening day shortstop. He'll be an upgrade over Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who struggled for much of the 2022 season.The Yankees have the talent to win the division once again and make a run in the postseason. They will be a team that fans will want to keep an eye on over the course of the season.
