When Yankees GM Brian Cashman traded Mike Tauchman to the Giants for Wandy Peralta in 2021, many fans were beside themselves with the move. Tauchman was coming off a great 2019 season that saw him burst onto the scene, followed up by a less-convincing 2020 display. The Yankees needed bullpen help at the time, and no one could’ve predicted that Wandy would become as dominant as he is now.
Since donning the Pinstripes, Wandy has been nothing short of elite in his role. He has hurled 99.0 innings, and in those innings, he’s posted ERA & FIP splits of 2.
