The New York Yankees are one of the most active teams every free agency cycle, and they are expected to be active once again. Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham are re-signing candidates, while the bullpen and starting pitching are big needs for New York.

The Yankees have key needs to fill in the outfield and bullpen and could use another starter. Here are the free agents who fit best.

With late-inning relievers Devin Williams and Luke Weaver hitting the free agent market, bolstering the bullpen is another major goal for the Yankees before spring training. Trade deadline acquisitions David Bednar and Camilo Doval are penciled into the back end of New York's bullpen as the offseason gets underway.

Third base has been an uncertainty at best for the Yankees for the better part of this decade. Heading into the 2026 season, that still rings mostly true. Although the Yankees do have a solid third baseman in place, improvements can always be made one way or another. A potential significant one in this department would be Alex Bregman.

Los Angeles was in the mix for Williams last winter before the Brewers traded him to the Yankees. Now, he’s on their radar again — even after a rocky season in New York. According to Ardaya, there "appears to be mutual interest between the two sides" early in Williams’ free agency.

One of the Yankees' top targets this offseason, Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami, has officially been posted for free agency.

The New York Yankees need to make a decision on whether they want to sign Cody Bellinger to a long-term contract this offseason.
