The Yankees just two brutal games to the Ref Sox, including a 5-4 defeat as Chad Green imploded at the worst time. While he’s still a phenomenal reliever, he’s at the 50 IP mark and we haven’t even entered August.
Lucas Luetge has also been taxed for 45 IP this season, so if the Yankees want to keep their relievers from getting shelled, they need to bring in more depth. Darren O’Day is out for the season, Justin Wilson is horrific, and a solid reliever could go a very long way for the Yankees, someone like Daniel Bard who’s pitching great for the Rockies.
