The Yankees don’t have a whole bunch of glaring holes to fill this winter.
Obviously, we’d love to see the organization secure the services of Japanese Babe Ruth, Shohei Otani. And perhaps shed the overpriced contracts of Jacoby Ellsbury and Starlin Castro.
But outside of Otani-palooza, the Yanks’ biggest priority this winter should be adding a veteran left-handed stopper to the already robust bullpen.
With Jordan Montgomery currently slotted as the No. 5 starter, failed acquisition, Jaime Garcia, set to hit free agency, and the recent trade of Caleb Smith to the Marlins, the only southpaw out of the ‘pen not named Aroldis Chapman is Chasen Shreve.
