It’s hard to ignore the fact that the New York Yankees have been in an absolute rut.
Over the last 22 games, the once top-tier American League contender has gone 6-16 with 11 of their 19 losses since the start of June decided by one-run. Which goes to show you how terrifyingly poor the bullpen has been during this stretch.
Despite owning a back-end tandem that features Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman, the Yankee bullpen has blown seven saves over the last 30 days — the most in Major League Baseball.
