The New York Yankees need starting pitching whether general manager Brian Cashman likes it or not. With three starters hitting free agency this off-season, the rotation has been left thin, and relying on younger players who only pitched a small sample size during an abbreviated 2020 season is not a recipe for success.
Cashman is going to have to find supplemental options and not just walk in the park pitchers with ERA’s above 4.00. He needs to find quality, but at a cost-efficient rate.
There are solid options the Yankees can consider in free agency, but Cashman wants to wait as long as possible to make moves.
