It’s a yearly summer tradition to ponder starting pitching options for the Yankees. Luis Severino’s setback and Corey Kluber’s injury. While I definitely believe the Yankees need a centerfielder at the deadline, a starter is a need as well. Jameson Taillon has yet to show the promise we saw early on, with an above-5 SIERA in his last 5 outings, and Michael King is a reliever. If the Yankees want to improve the rotation this deadline, there’s not a ton of options to look for, but there are certainly some solid ones.
