This now marks the second time in five years Robertson has signed a free agent deal with another team and left the Yankees. He had a great career in pinstripes and will go down as one of the best relievers in franchise history. Losing him will hurt but the Yankees still have plenty of money to spend on Britton who is one of the top two relievers left on the free agent market.
Former Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel is considered to be the top free agent reliever yet to sign but I would much rather have Britton and so would the Yankees.
