Yankees' reaction to Gerrit Cole injury shows the starting difference to Dodgers

In the 2025 MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers are unsurpassed when it comes to raw talents from top to bottom in their organization. What is funny is that you probably also entered the low season with the best team. They took this information and put the pedal even further on the metal and landed several high-end agents.

The Dodgers already had Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, Shohei Ohtani, Gavin Stone, Bobby Miller, Landon Knack and Nick Frasso as starting jacks on their 40-man squad as starting jacks. Then they went out and signed both Roki Sasaki and Blake Snell for Funsies.

Now that the injury error is widespread due to your spring training camp, it is obvious why the decision-makers of the Dodgers went out and added. Things happen in baseball, and injuries are something that can never be predicted. The Dodgers moved their financial muscles and added to a position in which they had no need on the surface, and now it will pay off.

The New York Yankees, led by GM Brian Cashman, seem to take a different way when it comes to tackling their own injury -related squad.

Brian Cashman's comments after Gerrit Cole Injury show a strong difference between Yankees, Dodgers

With Luis Gil (tense Lat) and Gerrit Cole (Tommy John) on the shelf to start the year (Cole is for the season), the Yankees saw how their own rotation scores a bit of a goal before the regular season begins.

In the past off -season, Marcus Strom was considered nothing more than a bait and a possible six -star/long -term option for the club. Now he has set off on the number 3 of the projected starting trotation of the Yankees. Top Prospect Will Warren, thanks to the latest injury developments, the deep card was increased.

The Yankees are without a real starter No. 5 when Clarke Schmidt lies in with an injury and comes out of Cashman and told the media that he will remain internally when solving the pitching problems. With a handful of solid starters that are still available in the free agency and some higher names (mainly Sandy Alcantara and Dylan Cease), which may be available via the trade, this is a real head scratch.

Cashman's lack of willingness to take a big Yankees-like step (or to achieve the same problems that his team plagues every year) is confusing, but it shows how different the Dodgers and Yankees have conducted their organizations in recent years. You will go to all means that are necessary for upgrading and filling squad holes if necessary, while the other prefers to be satisfied with what you have.

Now the result of the World Series of the past year is much more sensible.
