Despite falling short of the playoffs, the Yankees’ 2016 season will stick in the minds of fans for several memorable reasons, particularly the pre-deadline Super Bullpen. The front office poured resources into building one of the best bullpens baseball has ever seen. The Yankees both had impressive young depth—the Scranton Shuttle was often active for good reason—while boasting a top three in the ‘pen among the most dominant of all-time: the untouchable Andrew Miller, the flamethrowing Aroldis Chapman, and the electric Dellin Betances.
While it looked like that era was over for the Yankees after both Miller and Chapman were traded late last season, the Yankees have managed to rebuild their bullpen into what should be another very good one.
