The Yankees added a significant piece to their bullpen on Saturday by signing Zach Britton. Having Britton for a whole season gives manager Aaron Boone a different look out of the pen for the late innings. The addition of Britton will not only shore up the back end of the bullpen, but it will probably shift Chad Green back to a multi-inning “fireman” role where he has been so valuable in the past.
Let’s take a look at the bullpen forecast for next season.
