Former New York Yankees relief pitcher David Robertson signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on a two-year, $12 million deal this past week. They’re expected to utilize him as their primary closer, despite not having closed in his career.
New York Yankees lose out on one, can they secure another?
The Yankees losing out on Robertson might seem troublesome currently, but they have two more quality opportunities to sign another relief pitcher this offseason. Both Adamon Ottavino and Zach Britton remain available, with the latter being the more attractive.
The Phillies were publicly interested in Britton but grabbed Robertson for his potential and usage.
