It’s clear that the saga surrounding Cody Bellinger’s return — which ultimately ended in a happy resolution for the New York Yankees — grabbed all the headlines. However, within the organization, Aaron Boone and his staff understand they have more than enough talent to build a legitimate contender.
As the first team movements start to be seen in Spring Training, in the Bronx they are no exception, and the manager Boone already has his first evaluations in this regard.
One of the names that drew significant attention was Will Warren, potentially an important help for Cody Bellinger and the rest of his teammates heading into the start of the season.
“I think he’s really talented. I think he’s got all the weapons,” the manager Aaron Boone said recently to the media. “He’s confident. So I know there’s more, and I know he expects that.”
Competing for a rotation spot
Will Warren’s confidence will be the X-factor as he looks to solidify his spot in the New York Yankees’ rotation and provide much-needed stability for teammates like Cody Bellinger.

With Manager Aaron Boone confirming on MLB Network Radio that the team is done shopping for starters, the pressure is on the internal depth they’ve assembled.
Warren has been penciled into the Opening Day rotation alongside Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Ryan Weathers, and Luis Gil, meaning his ability to trust his stuff and eat innings will be vital for the Yankees‘ success in 2026.
