Corey Kluber has pitched only 36 2/3 innings in the last two seasons. Injuries have taken a lot of playing time for the 34-year-old hurler in both 2019 and 2020. However, even with that being the case, he ended up with a nice, one-year deal worth about $11 million in free agency. Which team gave it to him? The New York Yankees.
According to former pitcher and current analyst David Cone, someone who pitched a perfect game and won five World Series (four with the New York Yankees) the Bombers shouldn’t be too worried about Kluber’s injury issues in the last two campaigns.
