About a month ago I wrote an article outlining the options for the Yankees’ 5th starter. That article was written in the aftermath of James Paxton needing surgery and when we all thought Luis Severino would be healthy for the year. Of course, that has now changed, as have the teams’ fifth starter options.
Instead of Jordan Montgomery being the obvious fifth starter candidate, he is now the obvious fourth starter which leaves the team needing an additional arm. In that earlier post, other options mentioned were Deivi Garcia, Michael King, Luis Cessa, and Jonathan Loaisiga.
