The Yankees are in pure experimentation mode for the month of September. It’s the organization’s chance to answer questions about next year in a low stakes environment. After Jasson Domínguez’s debut, the experiment is going well. In a welcome change from most of 2022, rose-colored glasses are suddenly in stock for the young players making an impact.
The team also suddenly finds themselves short on projected starting pitching pending injuries and underperformance. Now as 2023 winds down, the outlook is Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and a bunch of question marks.
As Alex noted with an eye toward the future, Michael King turned some heads with his strong start in Detroit on August 29 and merits consideration for a starting role next year.
