The Yankees have made a priority of putting together a super bullpen in recent seasons. Right now, hurlers such as Aroldis Chapman, Tommy Kahnle, Chad Green, Adam Ottavino, and Zack Britton are employed by the team and ready to roll in 2020. However, that relief corps could plausibly be even better.
Dellin Betances, who missed most of this season with lat and shoulder issues and tore his Achilles in his first game back from the former injuries, is now a free agent. We’ve written before that it shouldn’t be hard for the Yankees to bring back Betances at least for the short term, with the right-hander unlikely to secure a long-term deal after his unfortunately timed injuries.
