The New York Yankees are barreling towards a playoff spot, but they're still dealing with some roster issues. 5 players who are entering their final days on the 2025 YankeesHonorable mentions: Kenta Maeda and Jeimer Candelario. Austin SlaterSlater was acquired at the trade deadline because the Yankees needed more right-handed depth options that could hit lefties. Perhaps there's a chance he returns for cheap to help round out the bench, but with Spencer Jones entering the fold it seems there might just be too many cooks in the outfield kitchen come 2026. That's not something the Yankees can offer, especially if they want to do the Anthony Volpe dance all over again in 2026.
