A look back at last year’s Yankees resolutions…
Luke Weaver: To keep being Luke Weaver
After slipping from his 2024 heights, with a highly disappointing postseason, the reliever takes his blithe spirit across town as a Met.

Spencer Jones: To get to the majors
Slugging prospect rose to Triple-A and started hot, then cooled down and wasn’t called up. Now, he’ll get a chance to win a job out of camp.
Luis Gil: To channel that 2024 magic
Reigning AL Rookie of the Year was robbed of a full season, making only 11 regular season starts due to a lat strain to begin 2025.
Clarke Schmidt: To make the All-Star team
Trending that way through 14 starts until he required season-ending Tommy John surgery. Hopes to return later in 2026.
Austin Wells: To become a middle-of-the order presence
It was a disappointing season at the plate for Wells (95 OPS-plus), who mostly batted in the bottom third of the order.

Max Fried: To avoid the injury list
He made 32 starts in a successful first pinstriped season but briefly landed on the IL near the All-Star break due to a blister.
Cody Bellinger: To make Yankee Stadium your playground
The newly arrived lefty hitter did just that, batting .302 with a .909 OPS during 80 regular season games in the Bronx.
Devin Williams: To thrive off the Bronx energy
Lost his closer’s job and absorbed the fans’ ire until gaining steam in a setup role during his rocky, lone pinstriped season.
Jasson Dominguez: To live up to the hype
Trent Grisham’s ascension impacted his playing time, but Dominguez’s defensive issues and poor results as a righty hitter didn’t help.

Aaron Judge: To regroup without Juan Soto
Couldn’t have done it any better, repeating as the AL MVP in a year when Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh blasted 60 home runs.
