They added Okamoto at third base, but they lost Bichette.

I don't think they've improved that much.

They did get a lot of strikeouts with Dylan Cease, but they lost Bassett, who had a great year for him, and they were in last place two years ago.

They need to prove that they could be a sustained winning team.

They were great last year.

They had an incredible season, and they have an opportunity to be that good again this year, but they don't have a track record the Yankees do of being good year in and year out.

So let's see what they are.

The Orioles improved.

The Red Sox have improved a little bit, although they lost Bregman.

It's going to be a tough division, but I think the Yankees are the best team in that division.

I expect them to win it.

I mean, did anybody expect anything other than that?

I think they have flaws.

They have some flaws.

Of course.

The bullpen is dicey.

Yes.

They have three guys in the bullpen that you can trust.

Now, again, I don't want to do the go-getter podcast here, but there's a lot of young arms.

Save that for the first podcast.
