Breaking news : 3 more New York Yankees who won’t be back next season and why: Yankees clear way for massive Soto deal

The New York Yankees came up three wins short of being named World Series champions this season. Now, their full attention is turned to free agency, with the emphasis being on getting Juan Soto back in the Bronx in 2025. This will be a tall task, and it’ll cost them some other members of their team, but it’s a priority to the Yankees.

This will be a tall task, and it’ll cost them some other members of their team, but it’s a priority to the Yankees.

already wrote an article on the first three Yankees that won’t be back in 2025. But those three (Clay Holmes, Anthony Rizzo and Alex Verdugo) felt like layups. If the Yankees are going to go all-in to bring Soto back, they’re going to have to find a way to clear some cap space, which could come at the cost of a few other players on their roster.

Out of the three players on this list, one of them is an upcoming free agent. The other two are going to be much different situations than this one.

Trivino hasn’t pitched in a major league game since 2022, when he had a dominant second half as a member of the Yankees. Trivino had elbow surgery and he’s yet to make a return, leaving him as one of the bigger question marks on the Yankees roster. Trivino’s injuries didn’t just have to do with his elbow, as he had shoulder set backs along the way as well. Given all of this, it’s likely that the Yankees opt to decline his club option in 2025.

Trivino is a very talented pitcher, but after missing two full seasons, he’s going to need a team to take a major risk on him, likely for very cheap, if he wants a shot in the big leagues again in 2025. The Yankees have a ton of bullpen options available already, with the team likely looking to upgrade in free agency as well. It wouldn’t make much sense for the Bronx Bombers to accept his option and blindly pay him million of dollars again in 2025
