The New York Yankees lost three more pitchers today in the Rule 5 draft. Kyler Holder went to Joe Girardi’s Philadelphia Phillies, Trevor Stephan went to the Cleveland Indians, and the Boston Red Sox picked up Garrett Whitlock, all minor league pitchers. With each passing day, the Yankees have fewer and fewer pitchers in both the Major and Minor Leagues.
