The Yankee bullpen will be a major topic of conversation once the playoffs get underway, and will be considered one of the better relief groups among the rest of the postseason crop. Looking at the performance of the Indians last season, the power of the Yankee bullpen could determine how far they go this October.
However, as we have seen too many times this season, some of the Yankees’ most coveted arms have faltered this season, particularly in the most crucial situations. Aroldis Chapman was catastrophic for much of the season after returning from injury, while Dellin Betances has been erratic with his command after a dominant start to the season.
