The New York Yankees are still looking at cheap bullpen options to complete their roster for the 2021 season. During the offseason, they lost Tommy Kahnle, Adam Ottavino, and Jonathan Holder, and have only added Darren O’Day so far. Yes, they have some talented arms looking for an opportunity to establish themselves as relievers, but they could also use one more veteran, reliable name.
The Yankees, however, only have about $10 million to spend before hitting the luxury tax threshold, one that they have been avoiding like the plague during the offseason. It’s clear that they won’t surpass those $210 million in payroll, so any reliever that comes in the next few days or weeks would be cheap.
