According to Brian Cashman, the Yankees are at “99 percent-plus that what we have is what we're going to camp with.” That means the team’s rotation of Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda, and a handful of stardust is very likely to make up their Opening Day roster. As problematic as that reality is toward the 2017 team, it is even worse for the 2018 squad when all three starters will be free agents at the end of next season.
Tanaka has the ability to opt out of his contract next winter—something he will do.
