Baseball is all about depth.
The Yankees have shown their depth in many ways. That is how they are playing .600 ball despite injuries to such stars as Aaron Judge, Miguel Andujar, Luis Severino and Giancarlo Stanton, who has a mysterious left shoulder strain.
For reliever Zack Britton, the depth to his sinker has returned, making all the difference in his world.
In a year of good moves by the Yankees, Britton’s signing to a free-agent contract that could be worth as much as $53 million over four years this past January is turning out to be a huge win.
