Regular readers will know that this winter I’ve firmly stood for the Yankees flexing their financial muscles. I was the unofficial PSA Patrick Corbin stan, and I think that missing out on both Manny Machado and Bryce Harper would be borderline dereliction of duty on the part of the Yankee front office.
That belief changes when I think about the relief pitching available in free agency. The big names on the market are David Robertson, Zach Britton, Andrew Miller and Adam Ottavino, and with at least two open slots in the bullpen, we should expect the Yankees to spend on at least one of these Big Four, right?
