Bleacher Report released a new power ranking heading into the 2026 season, and the New York Yankees were ranked at No. 5.

Honestly, I think this position is a little too high for the Yankees.

The Seattle Mariners and Yankees are eaching brining back almost identical rosters, and Seattle was playing in the ALCS. Then, the Boston Red Sox have made significant upgrades to both the rotation and the lineup that could make them better than New York.
