The New York Yankees have a priority of re-signing star second baseman DJ LeMahieu. Still, along with that priority, they also have to fix a starting rotation that lacks pitchers, quality or otherwise. after the World Series, the Yankees lost Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton J.A. Happ, leaving only Cole and Jordan Montgomery as experienced pitchers. They do have Deivi Garcia, Clarke Schmidt, and Michael King, but that trio, although they made their MLB debuts are for the most part untried for any large sample.
There is no question that the Yankees need at least one number two type pitcher to add to the rotation.
