The Yankees are no strangers to innovative pitching strategies. Sometimes, they work (the “opener” in 2019). Other times, they don’t (the Deivi García-J.A. Happ “bait-and-switch” in the 2020 ALDS). No matter how it goes, we can always count on the Yankees to come up with some way to reinvent the pitching wheel.
Take this bit from Aaron Boone’s interview yesterday, in which the manager says so much with just one word:
Aaron Boone says the Yankees will be "creative," especially in the first month, when asked by @dcone36 whether the Yankees might use spot starts or a 6-man rotation.
