With the signing of J.A. Happ, the Yankees’ rotation appears to be mostly completed. Although Brian Cashman has stated that he will continue to explore the trade market for starting pitching, it’s likely that the Yankees’ five main starters will be Luis Severino, James Paxton, Masahiro Tanaka, Happ, and CC Sabathia.
That is an impressive starting five, perhaps one of the best in the American League. The question, as is often the case, is health. Severino has proved to be quite durable over the past to years, but beyond that there are many causes of concern.
