Despite narrowly missing out on their first last-place divisional finish since 1990, the New York Yankees hosted some formidable talent in 2023.
In 2024, the field of names is set to be even bigger, especially with the addition of three-time MLB walks leader Juan Soto into the mix. With so many names looking set to threaten, we turned to AI to help us figure out which members of the Yankees are best poised to capture the MVP Award in 2024.

Predictably, Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole topped off Bard AI's list of names. With a record of 15-4 alongside an AL-best 2.63 ERA, Cole won the AL Cy Young Award in 2023 after successive second-place finishes.

Aaron Judge set the single-season home run record, with 62 blasts in 2022, winning the MVP award. However, injuries left the outfielder largely sidelined for most of the 2023 season, extinguishing any hopes of an MVP-repeat.
Apart from Judge and Cole, the Bard AI tool predicted Juan Soto's name to be in contention. Last season as a member of the San Diego Padres, Soto hit .275/.410/.519 with a career-high 35 home runs. It's unclear how he will adapt to his new capacity with the New York Yankees.
