Nick Nelson is making his case to break camp with the Yankees

Entering the offseason, the New York Yankees had numerous questions regarding their bullpen. Adam Ottavino had a bad season from a run-prevention standpoint (5.89 ERA), Jonathan Holder had a 2020 that could best be described as uneven, and Tommy Kahnle was lost to Tommy John surgery.

Yet, the organization as a whole has done a fine job during the offseason, and the bullpen outlook is much improved. The Yankees were able to find a taker for Ottavino’s contract and brought Justin Wilson and Darren O’Day aboard to help fill Ottavino’s role and put out fires in the late innings.
