The New York Yankees can’t lose David Robertson to free agency again. It’s just a reality. The team’s bullpen is one of its greatest strengths and he is a big reason why. Though only 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, Robertson is one of baseball’s best relief pitchers and can do everything from getting out of tough jams to closing games.
Bullpen depth may be easy to find in the right places, especially in the Yankees’ deep minor league system, but Robertson should still be re-signed. He is just too important in his current role to let walk again, regardless of price.
