New York Yankees: Breaking down the No. 5 starter’s race

Death, taxes, the New York Yankees not knowing who their fifth starter will be.

Granted, it’s not like the Yankees need to figure this out now. The random days off at the start of any baseball season mean a team doesn’t usually need a No. 5 arm until about two-ish weeks in.

Except the Yankees are in a different spot. Unless a trade for Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas, or somebody else happens before Opening Day on April 7, take a guess. Which of the plethora of young arms will bookend the back of New York’s rotation?
