The New York Yankees will be welcoming back franchise cornerstones like Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gerrit Cole for another shot at the World Series next year, but several other key players could depart.

The team has a number of veteran contributors headed toward free agency, including Paul Goldschmidt, Luke Weaver and Devin Williams. And the outfield could look quite different during next year’s opening day, with both Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger heading toward free agency.

Though Grisham was an important player for the Yankees this past year, the team could replace him relatively easily. But Bellinger is a different story.
