The New York Yankees are certainly in trouble with their pitching rotation. They actually don’t have a rotation. They have ace Gerrit Cole, but that is pretty much it. At the end of the World Series, they lost Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton, and J.A. Happ. All because they became free agents and were not offered qualifying offers to remain with the team.
Other than the other holes, this puts the New York Yankees in the same situation they were last season; no real second premium pitcher to back up Cole. If the Yankees take Masahiro Tanaka bac, which some believe they will, they will be in the same position this year as they were last.
