Yankee fans’ focus has been fixated on DJ LeMahieu this offseason and rightfully so, as LeMahieu finished top five in MVP voting in each of the past two seasons. Another concern is the uncertainty of the Yankees’ pitching rotation past Gerrit Cole. Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton, and J.A. Happ (finally) all may not return. Add in the fact that Luis Severino won’t be back until some time this summer, and nobody is certain how Brian Cashman will fill out his staff. But one thing that I think has been flying under the radar is the Yankees’ bullpen situation.
The Yankee bullpen has been a strength in recent seasons.
