The New York Yankees and general manager Brian Cashman has been extremely active over the past few weeks, especially when it comes to bolstering the starting pitching rotation. From acquiring Corey Kluber to Jameson Taillon, the Yankees are preparing for a World Series caliber season, but it all is predicated on the health of their players.
Cashman took a significant risk this off-season, something he acknowledged with the acquisition of Kluber and Taillon, two starters who are coming off serious injuries. Neither have pitched more than 37 innings over the past two years, so he’s put a lot of chips in on players who could easily flop.
