We have said countless times in this space that the Yankees need to bring in some pitching reinforcement. Their current depth situation is far from ideal, especially considering the questions surrounding several pieces of the rotation. Jameson Taillon underwent ankle surgery in October, Domingo Germán has long been inconsistent, Deivi García took several steps back in 2021, and Clarke Schmidt spent months on the shelf with a forearm injury.
Only Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery offer some reliability with an eye on the upcoming season. In the midst of all this chaos is Luis Severino.
Sevy remains a key part of the Yankees’ 2022 plans, as he is expected to pitch most of his innings as a starter.
