This season, the Yankees required 54 different players to get by, but that wasn’t the perfect mix to return to the postseason.

Even though the team only has four free agents, they are about to embark on a crucial offseason during which there may be significant personnel turnover. Here is a look at the current Yankees roster:

Artie Cole

This season, the Yankees’ ace did almost all in his power to assist the Bombers en route to most certainly winning the AL Cy Young. His contract still has five years left on it, but after the upcoming season, he can opt out.

Judge Aaron

He appears ready to make another run at 50 or more home runs next season, provided he stays away from the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium.

Giancarlo Springfield

has a crucial offseason ahead of him after a terrible season at the plate, where he promised to make changes.

LeMahieu, DJ

With some assistance from Sean Casey, he looked more like himself in the second half after battling in the first. With three years remaining on his deal, the Yankees need that to continue.

Rizzo Anthony

Aaron Judge organizes a meeting with Hal Steinbrenner to enhance the team’s analytics utilization.

A concussion suffered by the seasoned first baseman in late May ended his season, but the Yankees think he will be back to full health for the following year.

Graciela Torres

Although he still has one year left on his contract, he may possibly be used as a trade chip for the Yankees, as he was their most reliable hitter this season.

Volpe Anthony

The 22-year-old shortstop joined the 20/20 club and had a strong debut campaign with defense that was better than anticipated. But he needs to step up to the plate in his second year.

Octavio Peraza

has demonstrated his infield defensive prowess, but does he have enough offensive ability to earn a spot in the major leagues permanently? It is also unclear where he stands.

Theodore Cabrera

Looked more like himself in September after failing to take off with the starting left-field job; he needs to build on this in order to fill a crucial utility role next year.

Gonzalo Dominguez

fulfilled the expectations in an eight-game cameo, but will be sidelined until about the middle of the season following Tommy John surgery.

FALEFA, Isiah Kiner-

did a great job in a utility role, especially in the beginning of the season, but as a free agency, he’ll probably go somewhere.

Higashioka Kyle

With a congested catching position, the Yankee with the longest tenure might be heading away for the upcoming season, either through a non-tender or trade.

Rortvedt, Ben

became Gerrit Cole’s personal catcher in the second half, demonstrating his ability to manage himself behind the plate, but he still needs to demonstrate his hitting prowess.

Rafael Trevino

The defensive-minded catcher missed the second half of the game to have wrist surgery, but he should be ready for spring training.

During a September call-up, Austin Wells played solid defense and also ended with a scorching bat. At the absolute least, he should get an opportunity to partner with Trevino in a tandem next season.

Florian Estevan

After being given another opportunity in September, the tool-wielding center fielder may not have been able to salvage his Yankees career.

Jeremy Everson

After failing to score in a late-season call-up, the left fielder might require additional experience in the minor leagues the following season.

Bauers Jake

The left-handed bat’s future with the team is in doubt because he only had a few fleeting moments of talent.

King Michael

Through a late-season starting audition, the erstwhile bullpen weapon secured a position in the rotation for the next season. Though his physical durability for more than 170 innings is still in doubt, he has the makings of a top-tier starter.

Cortes Nestor is

After an All-Star season in 2022, Cortes’ poor play and injuries sent him back to earth. To ensure that his shoulder is in good condition for next year, he is presently participating in a throwing program.

Rodon Carlos

With injuries, poor play, and a final start when he abandoned Matt Blake, his debut season in pinstripes could not have gone any worse. Important offseason for the lefty, whose contract is still good for five years and $135 million.

Schmidt Clarke

Schmidt, who just finished a breakout season to establish himself as a starter, ought to be in the rotation the following season, unless the Yankees utilize him as a trade chip to add offensive players.

Carlos Severino-

The high-ceiling Severino faces free agency after a difficult season hampered by additional injuries and might just need a new beginning someplace.

After recovering from shoulder surgery in February, Frankie Montas relieved in Game 161 for 1 ½/₃ innings. Now that he’s a free agent, pitching in The Bronx next season could still be a possibility as a prove-it deal.

Holmes Clay

The closer had a solid season overall, saving 24 of 27 chances, despite a couple significant setbacks. Next year, he will continue in this position until he becomes a free agent.

Jack Kahnle

The high-leverage reliever has one more season left on his deal despite having a rough debut season in The Bronx that included two arm issues.

The Ian Hamilton

The reliever, who was signed to a minor league contract last offseason, appears to be the latest successful addition to the Yankees pitching staff.

Jeremy Loaisiga

Fantastic when well, but not well enough all the time. His season was ruined by two elbow injuries, and he is now out of season for the team.
