While the Orange and Blue prepares to play in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, the Yankees are echoing the blueprint of the dynasty that won four titles in five years starting in ’96.

Perhaps no franchise has been as synonymous with free-agent spending since the system as we know it today was implemented in 1976. However, those late-1990s Yankees teams were built differently, with a collection of homegrown stars -- Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada -- as their centerpiece.
Something similar may be brewing in 2026.

As usual, Aaron Judge has been a huge part of the Yankees’ success. But he hasn’t done it alone. He’s had a lot of help from Cam Schlittler and Ben Rice, both of whom are products of the Yankees’ farm system just like Judge.

Yankees' WAR leaders, 2026
Per FanGraphs

1. Cam Schlittler: 2.9
2. Aaron Judge: 2.3
3-T. Ben Rice: 2.2
3-T. Cody Bellinger: 2.2
5. Max Fried: 1.9

For the Bronx Bombers, it’s a bit of a divergence from what’s happened in recent years. The Yankees may have envisioned having a core of homegrown players who could grow alongside Judge, but Gary Sánchez, Gleyber Torres and Luis Severino never fulfilled that promise, and the next wave of prospects -- Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells and Jasson Domínguez -- has yet to produce a star.

As a result, the Yankees had to lean heavily on free-agent signings like Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón and Max Fried and trade acquisitions like Juan Soto, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton to support Judge, who is now in his 11th season.

This year, however, Schlittler and Rice have emerged as genuine difference-makers at a time when many of the Yankees' outside acquisitions have struggled to hold up their end.
