The New York Yankees have issues. When it comes to pitching, that is an understatement. With Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton, and J.A. Happ gone to free agency, the Yankees have some holes to fill. When the Yankees fill those holes, they need to do it with pitchers that can give them innings, reducing the bullpen’s stress and overuse. During the last dynasty years, the Yankees had pitchers that could do that and even pitched complete games. When they didn’t, they had Mariano Rivera and John Wetteland, Medoza, Lloyd, and Rivera.
We all know the record of Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera, but the strength of the bullpen was their set up men.
