The New York Yankees were able to assemble a pretty good and deep bullpen during the offseason, even though they lost guys that used to be reliable. Jonathan Holder was non-tendered and Adam Ottavino was traded, and while Tommy Kahnle was still effective when he got hurt last year (unlike the other two), he ended up signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
But the Yankees didn’t panic. They waited and waited, and just when fans were starting to get desperate, they re-signed DJ LeMahieu to a six-year deal, and that unlocked the rest of the moves.
