The 2016 MLB Spring Training is about to start in a few days when players report to their respective teams. The New York Yankees have acquired new and retained valuable players this offseason, but their overall health is still a major concern.
The New York Yankees had a good offseason, finally addressing the second baseman position, but general manager Brian Cashman admitted that the rotation is still a major concern. Manager Joe Girardi agrees with him, especially for all their starting pitchers except Luis Severino, who made a trip in the disabled list.
The New York Yankees are in need of starting pitching and have floated outfielder Brett Gardner and closer Andrew Miller in the trade market hoping to acquire an additional arm for their rotation. According to sources, the Atlanta Braves have reportedly offered Shelby Miller for Yankees top young starter Luis Severino.
The New York Yankees could release CC Sabathia this offseason according to multiple reports. It wasn't the finish the New York Yankees wanted, but the 2015 Major League Baseball season ended pretty bad for the Bronx Bombers.
With just over 20 games left to play in the regular season, the standings are becoming tighter than ever. First place is up for grabs in the American League. Damon Salvadore breaks own the madness in the AL.
The New York Yankees took a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night at the Yankee Stadium, but pitching prospect Luis Severino turned heads in his debut.
The New York Yankees will have to make adjustments to their rotation again after starting pitcher Michael Pineda was placed on the disabled list and is expected to sit out until September.
The New York Yankees have quite a huge task ahead of them for 2015. The Pinstripes failed to make a huge splash in free agency or make any big trades in the offseason. With that being said, pitching will have to guide the team to victories.
