The Yankees have suffered quite a number of blows to their once vaunted bullpen, with multiple players getting injured. Aroldis Chapman, Jonathan Loáisiga, and Chad Green (Tommy John) have all gone down for significant amounts of time. The question is, should the Yankees take a chance and sign Dallas Keuchel if he clears waivers? Clearing waivers would mean that the Yankees would only have to pay a pro-rated portion of the league minimum for his services. He wouldn’t make much sense in this rotation, but a relief role is always a possibility.
Unfortunately, the traditional counting stats have not been particularly kind to Keuchel.
