Will Yankee season home run record be broken in the next decade?

Mickey Mantle is the only Yankee with at least 48 home runs in a season to not lead the league. At least he lost to a teammate, Roger Maris. Maris holds the Yankee season home run record: 61 in 1961.

Will that record be broken in the next decade? In 2017 two players hit at least 50 home runs:
Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins: 59
Aaron Judge, Yankees: 52

Stanton was traded to the Yankees after the 2017 season. Here are seasons of Yankees hitting at least 48 home runs:
