The teams, players and history stand alone among others as perhaps the most famous, or infamous, in the league.

NEW YORK YANKEES PROJECTED: 3RD Last Season: 84-78 | 4th in the AL East
Led by outfielder Clint Frazier and Gleyber Torres, the Yankees have a bright future ahead of them. But for now, they may need to rely defensively on a few veterans. The outfield is led by Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury and Aaron Judge, while the infield is led by Chase Headley, Didi Gregorius, Starlin Cas- tro and Greg Bird. Despite all this talent, catcher Gary Sanchez may soon be the face of the Yankees’ fran- chise. The biggest question mark for this team is offense, where the Yankees should rely on the power of Sanchez to drive in Gardner and Gregorius. The rotation is strong, as well, led by Masahiro Tanaka, Michael Pineda and CC Sabathia. If the of- fense can provide some runs, the Yankees should be fine. The bullpen is still one of the strong suits for the Yankees, especially after they re-signed Aroldis Chapman in the offseason. Dellin Betances is another stud out of the ‘pen.
