The New York Yankees are going to look incredibly similar in 2026.

It’s almost on the level of the Spiderman meme, where one Spidey is pointing at another that looks exactly the same.

They even re-signed Paul Goldschmidt recently to essentially complete an offseason where all their big moves were keeping guys in town.

Aside from the departures of relievers Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, this shapes up to be almost precisely the roster that the Yanks ended the 2025 season with.

And, well, that has fans riled up, wondering why more moves weren’t made, or changes, after a campaign that ended shorter into the postseason than the one prior.

MLB.com asked the question in a new article on Monday, writing, “Much is the same. So what will be different?”

“The Yankees believed their 2025 roster was ready to win a championship – so much so that they’re running most of the same group back for another shot,” MLB.com wrote. “Consider this: they led the Majors with 849 runs scored and have three-time MVP Aaron Judge still in his prime. Gerrit Cole will return in May or June, they’ll get a full year of Cam Schlittler, and the bullpen was remodeled at the Trade Deadline last July.”

That return from injury for Cole is really most of the summary being put out by Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman.

To be fair, the Yankees did battle a lot of pitching injuries in 2025 and were giving starts to the likes of Marcus Stroman and Carlos Carrasco.

If New York’s rotation can be healthier, that’d be a big step in the right direction.

It’s hard to guarantee pitching health, though. It just doesn’t work that way. And so the Yankees might, in the end, feel almost exactly like last year’s team, which may not be quite good enough.
