Our Yankees 2021 preview series will stay on the mound but we’ll shift our focus from the starting rotation to the bullpen.
Under general manager Brian Cashman’s regime the New York Yankees have mastered the art of building a bullpen from scratch. If you look back at recent years, you’ll see that Cashman has a knack for taking random arms people otherwise wouldn’t have noticed and turning them into elite bullpen talents.
We’ve seen this happen in real-time. Chad Green didn’t work out as a starter but is now a feared reliever with an electric fastball.
