Key new players to watch

The 2024 Yankees brought in Juan Soto to Spring Training among a few other players. This year, the roster is very different, and several newcomers should have fans' attention.

Max Fried and Devin Williams were added to the pitching staff this year, and all eyes should be on them. Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt get that honor on the offense.

Additionally, it will be very important to watch Roderick Arias, George Lombard, Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza. They will likely be fighting for the last infield spot in the Yankees' lineup.

Where is Yankees Spring Training?

MLB teams do not play their Spring Training games in the same stadiums of their regular-season games. There will be no action in Yankee Stadium until Opening Day. Before that, the games will be held at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa Bay where it is much warmer. Fans can attend these games, but local New York fans will have to travel.
