Predicting 5 acquisitions to upgrade Yankees’ leadoff spot for the 2025 season ft. Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa
The New York Yankees spent an entire season cycling through leadoff hitters. Anthony Volpe, Alex Verdugo, and countless others spent time at the top of their lineup. They eventually settled on Gleyber Torres, who caught fire in that spot down the stretch and in the playoffs.
However, he's a free agent now and is probably signing elsewhere. That once again gives the Yankees a void at the top. The current offseason acquisitions, like Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger, aren't great leadoff options, either.
They could look internally and try Volpe again. Jazz Chisholm Jr. could slide up. Oswaldo Cabrera represents an intriguing option, too. There are perhaps more interesting choices outside the organization, though.
