The MLB Trade Deadline hits at 4pm ET today, and while the Yankees have done some good work in adding big bats Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo, they don’t look like a finished product just yet. I really enjoy Nestor Cortes Jr., but few teams can simultaneously have Cortes in their starting rotation and look like a finished product at the same time. Jordan Montgomery and Jameson Taillon have pitched better than expected recently, and Domingo Germán finished his last start six outs shy of a no-hitter.
Yet despite that potential, it’s hard to have a ton of confidence in the rotation as it currently stands.
