| |  | NY YANKEES: NEW YORK (AP) - Derek Jeter is gone, the final remaining link to the New York Yankees' last dynasty. He left behind a team in transition, that failed to make the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time in a generation and is beset with an older core coming off injuries.
Alex Rodriguez's return from a season-long drug suspension is the most interesting aspect of the Yankees, who enter the season with a health-challenged rotation, rebuilt bullpen and lineup that was among the least potent in the American League last year.
''I think we've added a lot of good young arms,'' manager Joe Girardi said. ''Added some good young players, as well. I think we've really seen an improvement in our young minor league players and the impact they are capable of having. I think we will continue to see that for years to come.''
If the Yankees founder, young players could be given more of a chance. Top prospects include pitcher Luis Severino, infielders Jose Pirela and Rob Refsnyder, and outfielder Aaron Judge.
But first, many of the old, beaten-up players will be given a chance to show they have something left.
Left fielder Brett Gardner (abdomen) and right fielder Carlos Beltran (elbow) return from surgery, and Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique) missed a significant stretch of spring training. First baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist) hit .216 last year, 143rd among 148 major league qualifiers in his return from an injury that sidelined him for most of 2013.
After signing a big-money deal with the Yankees, catcher Brian McCann was hitting just .209 in May before improving in the second half to finish at .232. Third baseman Chase Headley, acquired from San Diego in July, was given a new contract by the Yankees because they have no confidence in A-Rod's ability to play the field. New York also re-signed Stephen Drew under the theory he can't be as bad as he was in 2014.
Didi Gregorius, obtained from Arizona in a trade, is the primary offensive newcomer and replaces Jeter at shortstop. Left-handed-hitting Garrett Jones hopes to earn at-bats.
''Jeter is still Jeter. Everything that everybody is going to talk about is Jeter,'' Gregorius said. ''But for me - I'm learning and I'm there just to play the game, so just trying to focus on the game and trying to win every game, that's all I can say, not worrying about what's going on around.''
LIGHTNING ROD: The three-time AL MVP, who turns 40 on July 27, has not played a full season since 2007 because the suspension, operations on both hips and other injuries. New York owes him $61 million over the final three seasons of his contract, so he will be given a chance to earn at-bats as a DH, especially against left-handed starters.
RICKETY ROTATION: Masahiro Tanaka missed 2 1/2 months in his first season because of a small elbow ligament tear the Yankees say didn't need surgery. CC Sabathia, limited to eight starts last year, has to show he can pitch effectively with reduced velocity. Michael Pineda, back from shoulder surgery, had a 1.89 ERA in 13 starts last year but missed a long stretch because of the shoulder. New York hopes hard-throwing Nathan Eovaldi can learn to be effective after his acquisition from Miami. With Chris Capuano on the DL and Ivan Nova not expected back from Tommy John surgery until May or June, Adam Warren was the leading contender for fifth starter.
BULLPEN: A strong point last year, the Yankees rebuilt the `pen. David Robertson was allowed to leave for the Chicago White Sox, and David Phelps, Shawn Kelley and Shane Greene were traded. Lefty Andrew Miller and Scott Baker were signed, and Justin Wilson and Chris Martin acquired in trades. Miller and Dellin Betances competed in spring training to replace Robertson as closer.
HOPS: The Yankees are sharing their ballpark with Major League Soccer's expansion New York City team, and Teixeira complained before the soccer team's home opener that the infield would get torn up, leading to bad hops. | | CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - A decade removed from their most recent championship, the Chicago White Sox once again are eyeing a big season.
Their sights are set on an AL Central title after consecutive losing records, maybe even more. The White Sox added to their offense, boosted their rotation, overhauled their bullpen and sent expectations soaring.
''Obviously postseason first, and World Series,'' new closer David Robertson said. ''I mean that's what I look forward to every year. That's where I want to be.''
The addition of Robertson to the bullpen is among the reasons the White Sox believe they are armed and ready after going 73-89. But it's not the only one.
They added All-Star Jeff Samardzija to a rotation that already included ace Chris Sale. They added free agent Adam LaRoche to their lineup, giving AL Rookie of the Year Jose Abreu more protection, and brought in Melky Cabrera to solidify the No. 2 spot in the order behind Adam Eaton.
Is that enough to compete with Cleveland, Kansas City and Detroit in the division and make a run in the playoffs? The White Sox believe it is. Their fans are pumped, too.
With that in mind, here are some things to look for this season:
LINED UP: It would be hard for Abreu to match, let alone exceed, what he did last season. He batted .317 with 36 homers and 107 RBIs, one year after defecting from Cuba. While the White Sox tied for fourth in the AL in homers, they were just eighth in runs, ninth in batting average and 12th in on-base percentage.
LaRoche, who signed a $25 million, two-year contract, should give them power from the left side. He hit 26 homers and drove in 92 runs for Washington last season. Cabrera, a .301 hitter with Toronto, helps the top of the order.
''I think we're jelling together as a team. Hopefully that translates to wins in April,'' Eaton said.
SALE-ING ALONG: With Sale, Samardzija and Jose Quintana, the White Sox appear strong at the top of the rotation.
Sale made the AL All-Star team for the third time last season while going 12-4 with a 2.17 ERA with 208 strikeouts and 39 walks. Samardzija, acquired from Oakland, moves into the No. 2 spot. With Sale recovering from a broken foot, Samardzija - who grew up a White Sox fan - could wind up starting the opener at Kansas City after pitching the previous two for the Cubs.
CLOSING TIME: Chicago tied for seventh in the majors with 21 blown saves and had the fourth-lowest save percentage (63.2) last season. Robertson, who took over as closer after Mariano Rivera retired, saved 39 games for the New York Yankees last season. Chicago also brought in Zach Duke.
RODON WATCH: Whether he starts the season in the rotation or gets sent down to the minors, expect to see top prospect Carlos Rodon in a White Sox uniform at some point this season. The No. 3 pick in last year's amateur draft, he is on a fast track to the majors after three standout seasons at North Carolina State. Rodon, who made nine minor league appearances in 2014, could start the year in the rotation. If Rodon starts in the minors, veteran Brad Penny could make some early starts. |

*Yankees-White Sox Preview* ===========================
New York (57-44) at Chicago (49-51), 8:10 p.m. EDT
The New York Yankees have won five straight games over the Chicago White Sox and six in a row when facing left-handed starters.
They'll look to avoid their first three-game slide in a month Friday night when they open a three-game road series against lefty Carlos Rodon and the White Sox.
New York (57-44) makes the final stop on a 10-game trip on which it dropped to 4-3 after a four-game split in Texas, capped by Thursday's 7-6 defeat in which Mark Teixeira homered twice. The Yankees last lost three straight from June 28-30.
They are 18-11 against southpaw starters with six straight wins and a 5-0 mark since the All-Star break as they get their first look at Rodon (4-3, 4.09 ERA), who threw 6 2-3 scoreless innings with nine strikeouts in Sunday's 2-1 victory at Cleveland. He was 1-3 with a 6.98 ERA in his previous six starts.
"He's like every other pitcher," manager Robin Ventura said. "He can get himself into trouble, but what he has that most people don't is he can get himself out of trouble."
Rodon has posted a 10.00 ERA in losing his last two home outings.
His presence means that Chris Young will be back in the Yankees lineup for the first time in three games. Young is third in the AL with a .371 average against lefties, going 7 for 15 with two homers against them since the All-Star break.
Third baseman Chase Headley is 8 for 16 with two doubles against southpaws in the same span, and he's batting .392 in his last 14 overall.
This is the Yankees' first meeting with the White Sox (49-51) since winning the final five last season, including two on the road after losing eight straight in Chicago.
The White Sox held the AL's third-worst record on July 22 before getting back into wild-card contention with a season-high seven-game win streak to start a road trip that was capped with Thursday's 8-2 loss to Boston. Chicago batted .318 and averaged 7.0 runs in the eight games - its overall mark is 3.7.
"We wanted to win all eight, but that's the way it goes," Ventura told MLB's official website. "You want us to swing the bats and we did that on this road trip."
Melky Cabrera was 0 for 3 after going 18 for 33 with 11 RBIs in the first seven games. Jose Abreu is batting .375 with three homers and 13 RBIs during a 10-game hitting streak.
The White Sox seek to avoid their first five-game slide in two years at home, where they average a major league-worst 3.2 runs.
Nathan Eovaldi (10-2, 4.27) will move up a day and pitch on regular rest after New York placed Michael Pineda on the disabled list with a right flexor forearm muscle strain. CC Sabathia started Thursday for Pineda.
Eovaldi benefits from the majors' second-best run support average at 7.09. He improved to 5-0 with a 2.83 ERA in his last seven starts by giving up two runs over eight innings Sunday in a 7-2 win at Minnesota.
The right-hander has never faced the White Sox. Adam LaRoche is the only Chicago hitter with more than four at-bats against him, going 7 for 19 with a homer.
The Yankees will likely debut utility player Dustin Ackley, acquired from Seattle for a pair of minor leaguers Thursday.
"He's a guy who that over the last three or four years has played about five different positions so he's a guy who we feel we can move everywhere," manager Joe Girardi said.
