New York Yankees Gossip **Yankees' Offseason Drama Unfolds: Tensions Rise Amidst Lineup Changes** The New York Yankees are no strangers to drama, and this offseason has been no exception. With the recent signing of Max Fried, Cody Bellinger, and Devin Williams, the team is looking to bolster its lineup for the 2025 season. However, behind the scenes, tensions are brewing. Sources close to the team reveal that there's growing concern about Aaron Judge's mental struggles and performance challenges. Former All-Star Jonathan Papelbon recently issued a warning, suggesting that Judge's disappointing postseason performance could be a sign of things to come. "He's gonna have to find something else that propels him," Papelbon said. "I know he's a regular-season player, but the first month, to me, is gonna be very interesting." Meanwhile, rumors are swirling about Marcus Stroman's future with the team. With the Yankees looking to improve in other areas, Stroman's $18.3 million salary for 2025 has become a sticking point. Insiders claim that Brian Cashman is willing to take on some of Stroman's salary to create more room on the roster, but it remains to be seen if any teams will bite. In the locker room, tensions are running high. Sources describe a rift between Gerrit Cole and veteran outfielder Brett Gardner, which dates back to 2021. The drama reportedly centered around Cole's use of spider tack, with Gardner making light of the situation, only to be met with Cole's ire.
