New York Yankees 2025 Season Preview w/ Guest Greg Disalvo

⚾️ The Bronx Bombers are back! In this episode of Fanatics & Analytics, Andrew is joined by returning guest Greg Disalvo for an in-depth 2025 New York Yankees Season Preview. Coming off a 94-68 season and an AL East title, the Yankees fell short in the World Series against the Dodgers. With Juan Soto, Gleyber Torres, and Clay Holmes gone, the Yankees made major offseason moves, adding Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt, Max Fried, and Fernando Cruz. But Gerrit Cole’s season-ending injury looms large. Can the Yankees overcome their pitching concerns and make another deep playoff run? 🧐

🔎 Here’s what we cover:
⚙️ Key Additions & Departures: The Yankees made splashy moves, but will they miss Soto’s production? Can Bellinger and Goldy make up for it?
⚾️ Projected Lineup: With Giancarlo Stanton out, who fills the DH spot? Can Jasson Dominguez emerge as a breakout star? And who will be the Yankees' second-best hitter behind Aaron Judge?
⚡️ Rotation Concerns: The Cole injury leaves the Yankees vulnerable. Can Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, and Marcus Stroman hold the rotation together?
⚾️ Bullpen Usage: Analyzing the late-game leverage roles—Luke Weaver, Ian Hamilton, and Fernando Cruz—can they be reliable in big spots?
🧢 X-Factors: Can Bellinger and Goldschmidt combine to replace Soto’s production?
⚾️ AL East Power Rankings: Without Cole, the Yankees are no longer the clear favorites. Can they still compete with Baltimore and Boston?
Bold Predictions: Could Anthony Volpe break out with a 110+ WRC+ and 4.5 WAR season?
📈 Season Win Totals & Playoff Odds: 85.8 wins, 63.2% playoff odds, and 5.8% chance to win the World Series—will the Yankees exceed expectations?
🙋‍♂️ Subscriber Questions:

• @BruceMarks: “What are we doing at 3B?”

• @Connormag18: “After Judge, who’s the one player that by missing significant time, would derail the season?”

👀 Don’t miss this comprehensive breakdown of the Yankees’ 2025 season!

⚾️ New York Mets 2025 Season Preview | Can This Offense Carry a Weak Rotation? ⚾️🟠🔵🚨 In this episode of Fanatics & Analytics, we dive deep into the New York Mets' 2025 season outlook! 🚨After a surprising 89-73 finish last year and an NLCS loss to the Dodgers, the Mets enter this season with sky-high expectations. With Juan Soto now locked in long-term and a revamped lineup, the offense looks elite — but will questionable pitching hold them back? 🤔🔍 Here’s what we break down in this episode:⚾️🟠 Key Additions & Departures: Juan Soto, Clay Holmes, Frankie Montas, AJ Minter, and Jose Siri join the mix, but the losses of Luis Severino, Jose Quintana, and JD Martinez leave gaps.⚾️🔵 Projected Lineup: Lindor, Soto, Pete Alonso, and Nimmo form a terrifying top of the order, but is the bottom half strong enough?⚾️🟠 Rotation Concerns: With Senga returning from injury and question marks around Sean Manaea, Blackburn, and Griffin Canning, can the Mets' starters hold up?⚾️🔵 Bullpen Usage: Edwin Díaz is back, but is he still elite? We analyze his metrics, including HR/9 concerns, and discuss Minter’s potential impact.⚾️🟠 Biggest Question Marks: Can the offense be so dominant that it covers for a mediocre pitching staff? Is the "pitching lab" narrative overblown?⚾️🔵 The Juan Soto Effect: How does Soto transform the lineup and impact opposing pitchers?⚾️🟠 X-Factors: Who can make or break the Mets' season? Will Manaea repeat last year’s success, and can prospects like Sproat, Tidwell, and Acuña make an impact?⚾️🔵 Bold Predictions: Are the Mets playoff-bound or destined to miss the postseason? We share our win total projections and playoff odds.🙋‍♂️ Subscriber Questions:@AlexMarks asks if the Mets’ starting rotation could derail their postseason hopes despite a strong offseason.@joebrn_04 wants us to convince him the Mets don't have the best top-five lineup in MLB.@un_muchacho_ asks us to take over as Mets managers and reveal our ideal starting rotation.🎧 Don’t miss this full Mets season preview packed with bold takes, in-depth analysis, and a look ahead at what could be a make-or-break year!✅ LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE for more NY & Philly sports content!📲 Follow us on Instagram, Twitter & TikTok: @FanaticsAnalytics🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode!#NewYorkMets #LGM #MetsBaseball #Mets2025 #JuanSoto #MetsSeasonPreview #MLB #Baseball #MLB2025 #SeasonPreview #BaseballPodcast #SportsPodcast #BaseballAnalysis #MLBProjections #MetsFans #SteveCohen #NLCS #FranciscoAlvarez #FranciscoLindor #PeteAlonso #EdwinDiaz #BaseballTalk #MLBPredictions #BaseballTakes #MLBAnalytics #BaseballStats #Analytics #PitchingLab #SpinRate #Statcast #ExitVelo #LaunchAngle #BarrelRate #MLBAnalysis #BaseballBreakdown #SportsDebate #SportsTalk #MLBHotTakes #Fangraphs #BaseballMetrics #AdvancedStats #MLBSeasonPreview #MetsNation #MLBStats #MLBRankings #BaseballFans #SportsTakes #DiamondTalk #BaseballNews
