The Yankees’ starting rotation is currently mowing through the American League East. Gerrit Cole is doing Gerrit Cole things, Nestor Cortes is the league’s top breakout story, at least as far as AL starters are concerned, Jameson Taillon is outperforming his spot in the rotation, and Jordan Montgomery quietly has one of the top 10 ERAs in the AL.
Before the 2022 campaign began, there was genuine concern that was not totally unfounded about the capability of this team’s rotation. You would’ve been hard-pressed to find someone vehemently stating that this staff would run the table in not only the AL, but all of baseball.
