The Yankees bench will be led by some new faces in 2016.
Key reserves from last year’s squad, including John Ryan Murphy, Chris Young, Garrett Jones and Brendan Ryan, are gone. But, that doesn’t mean the Bronx Bombers are shorthanded when it comes to bench talent.
According to Chad Jennings of lohud.com, New York’s bench is set to “play [a] key role” this season.
“…it wouldn’t be particularly unusual for the Yankees to lean a little more heavily on [a] small but trusted group of reserves,” Jennings said.
