The Yankees are once again in the market for starting pitching reinforcements after injuries and ineffectiveness marred the 2023 seasons of Carlos Rodón, Nestor Cortes, and Luis Severino. Given their abundance of high-minors hurlers — a group that includes Drew Thorpe, Will Warren, Clayton Beeter, and Chase Hampton — they could opt for shorter-term deals for placeholders while their prospects continue developing and their veterans work toward bounceback campaigns.
Reunions with Severino and Montas could fit the bill, but the Yankees could also conceivably open up their wallets for a reunion with Jordan Montgomery.
