My 26-Man Opening Day Roster Prediction

By Derek McAdam

The 2021 season is less than a week away with the Yankees opening up on April 1 at home against Toronto. Spring Training is nearing its end with Aaron Boone and Co. finalizing their roster.

There are several players whose spots are in jeopardy, with some due to the tremendous depth that Brian Cashman has put in place. Others are not having the Spring they want to have and may find themselves in Scranton to begin the season.

Some names may not be on this list since they may begin the season on the I.L. The list is strictly just for Opening Day and may change at any time. Here are the 26 players I believe will be on the roster on April 1.

Pitchers (13)

Luis Cessa

Aroldis Chapman

Gerrit Cole

Domingo German

Chad Green

Corey Kluber

Jonathan Loaisiga

Tyler Lyons

Michael King

Jordan Montgomery

Nick Nelson

Darren O’Day

Jameson Taillon

Outfielders (5)

Jay Bruce

Clint Frazier

Brett Gardner

Aaron Hicks

Aaron Judge

Infielders (5)

DJ LeMahieu

Gleyber Torres

Gio Urshela

Andrew Velazquez

Luke Voit

Catchers (2)

Kyle Higashioka

Gary Sanchez

Designated Hitter (1)

Giancarlo Stanton

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
