The New York Yankees have fallen on hard times lately.
They lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers and their star player Juan Soto to the New York Mets.
While the Yankees would love nothing more than to bring Soto back to the team in 2025, now they have to improvise and make the best of the situation.
The Yankees appear to be doing just that, as they have added two pitchers to their roster for 2025.
With the money saved by not dealing Soto, the Yankees were able to sign one of the top starters, Max Fried, from the Atlanta Braves, as well as trade reliever Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers.
Williams showed off his new team on social networks with an interesting profile picture.
Williams revealed his Airbender profile picture, which stems from his dominant transformation, which appears to be airbending.

The Yankees are probably closer in 2025, and Williams is one of the best relievers in the game.
In 2024, Williams appeared in 22 games for the Brewers, posting a 1-0 record, 1.25 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 21.2 innings.
Williams has had two subpar seasons in each of the last three seasons, and the Yankees will benefit from a reliable closer after last year’s issues.
While Williams has dealt with some injuries in 2024 when healthy, he is one of the best closers in all of baseball.
