The New York Yankees are carrying another disappointing postseason defeat into the 2021 off-season, where wholesale changes should be made at specific positions. The starting pitching rotation has been lackluster at times, especially with the loss of Luis Severino and James Paxton for all if not some of the 2020 campaign.
The bullpen also suffered injuries, with Tommy Kahnle going down due to Tommy John surgery. They were forced to utilize Jonathan Holder and a bevy of inexperienced arms. Their more reliable options, like Adam Ottavino and Char Greed, struggled to a degree. Yankee management understands that changes need to be made, but they were noncommittal to any major ones during Wednesday’s interviews.
