At the moment, the Yankees bullpen sits in an interesting position. They were a top tier unit in 2022, as they ranked fifth in the league with 6.0 fWAR, and the team’s most important relievers — Michael King, Clay Holmes, Jonathan Loáisiga, and Wandy Peralta — are all returning. That said, question marks abound. Can Loáisiga and Holmes avoid the rough stretches they had in the first and second halves, respectively? Can King, Ron Marinaccio, and Clarke Schmidt repeat their performances?
The Yankees have tried to instill a little stability in their bullpen by bringing back Tommy Kahnle on a two-year deal earlier this winter, but another veteran arm wouldn’t be amiss.
