A month ago, the Yankees arguably had the best rotation in the MLB. Leading the charge was 2nd place Cy Young finisher and former Pirate, Gerrit Cole with a supporting cast of Luis Severino, James Paxton, and Masahiro Tanaka, and J.A. Happ. However, now that we’re finishing up the first week of Spring Training, the Yankees are short on pitching.
Luis Severino will sit out all of 2020 as he will need to undergo the dreaded Tommy John surgery. James Paxton will miss all of April and part of May because of back surgery.
