Yankees 2018 Roster Report Card: Tommy Kahnle

It is hard to call Tommy Kahnle’s 2018 season anything other than a major disappointment. When the Yankees traded the White Sox for Kahnle, David Robertson, and Todd Frazier, Kahnle was arguably the centerpiece of the deal. At the time, he was one of the best relievers in all of baseball, plus he still had several remaining years of team control. Kahnle was a major part of the team’s 2017 playoff run, and the Yankees expected him to be a key part 2018 bullpen. Ultimately, this season was not a continuation of 2017 but a season of frustration and disappointment.
