Everything to know about Yankees Spring Training
Bryan Hoch
@BryanHochTAMPA, Fla. -- The equipment trucks have arrived at George M. Steinbrenner Field, where workers ushered dozens of cardboard boxes and duffel bags toward the home clubhouse this week: bats, balls, uniforms and everything else the Yankees will need for six weeks of Spring Training under the Florida sunshine.
Following a 94-win campaign that produced an American League East title, the Yankees advanced past the Royals and Guardians to secure the clubĄ¯s first AL pennant since 2009, then fell to the Dodgers in a five-game World Series. Refreshed and restocked with new faces, these Yankees aim to conclude 2025 as baseballĄ¯s last team standing.

Who are some new faces fans should know?
The Yankees signed two-time All-Star Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million contract in December, the largest ever issued to a left-handed pitcher. That preceded moves to add outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt in December; both sluggers are former MVPs, giving the Yankees four on the roster (also Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton). They also acquired right-handed closer Devin Williams, a two-time All-Star, from the Brewers.

In addition to Jasson Dom¨Ēnguez (Yankees 2024 No. 1, MLB Pipeline 2025 No. 21), who is competing for a starting nod in left field, the YanksĄ¯ spring roster will feature outfielder Spencer Jones (No. 2), infielder George Lombard Jr. (No. 3), infielder Roderick Arias (No. 4), right-hander Will Warren (No. 5) and right-hander Chase Hampton (No. 6).

Have there been any changes to Steinbrenner Field?
There are new player and staff facilities, most of which were constructed during the 2024-25 offseason and are housed in a new structure located between the first-base side of the stadium and Field 2. The remodeled, relocated and expanded areas include the weight room, medical and training facilities, female locker room, indoor/outdoor dining area and family lounge.
Additionally, there are new player and staff multi-purpose meeting rooms, a new dedicated clubhouse kitchen and new offices to accommodate members of the baseball operations department. The visiting clubhouse was completely renovated this offseason in advance of the RaysĄ¯ use of Steinbrenner Field as their home facility in 2025, due to hurricane damage at Tropicana Field.
When is the clubĄ¯s last home game?
The YanksĄ¯ final spring game at Steinbrenner Field is on March 23, against the Rays at 1:05 p.m. ET. After that game, they will turn the buildingĄ¯s keys over to the Rays (with the exception of the fourth-floor offices, which will still be used by Yankees ownership).
Otherwise, the Yanks will be considered visitors at Steinbrenner Field throughout the 2025 season. For example, when they return in April for a four-game series against the Rays, they will dress in the visitorsĄ¯ clubhouse and utilize the visiting dugout.
