Is a homegrown dynasty in the works?

The stars look like they’re lined up (see what I did there?). Based off of the Yankees’ roster foundation, they appear to be ready to compete for years to come.

They already have young homegrown starting pitchers in ace Luis Severino and Jordan Montgomery in the majors. The organization is also developing a plethora of minor league candidates.

Our own Mike Calendrillo breaks down who the next great starting pitcher in pinstripes could be here.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the homegrown sluggers in Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez by now. The two will be the cornerstones of the franchise for years to come. And maybe Greg Bird, Tyler Austin, and Clint Frazier could join them if they each play to their potential.

Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres appear to be the future second baseman and third baseman for the franchise. By the way, Andujar is already making Yankee history as a 23-year-old rookie:

We also briefly got a glance at outfielder/first basemen Billy McKinney in the majors before he hit the DL. Tyler Wade may be out of a job for now, but he’s still young, can play multiple positions, and is a valuable utility man the Yankees love carrying.

A star in the making is supposedly the powerful and fast outfielder, Estevan Florial. Cashman refused to deal him this offseason, which means he must see something special in the kid similar to the other previous untradeable prospects: Sanchez, Severino, Judge, and Torres.
