The Yankees reportedly hope to add two relievers between now and Opening Day. Two relievers to replace David Robertson and Zach Britton, and hey, it is entirely possible they will re-sign Robertson and/or Britton. Even with Aroldis Chapman, Dellin Betances, Chad Green, and Jonathan Holder in tow, there’s still room for more quality relievers in the bullpen. Always and forever.
Among the in-house bullpen candidates is Tommy Kahnle, who the Yankees acquired prior to the 2017 trade deadline for two reasons. One, to help their 2017 postseason push. That big trade with the White Sox was a watershed moment.
