The New York Yankees certainly gambled when they let Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton, and J.A. Happ go through free agency. They were left with a bonafide ace, in Gerrit Cole, and lots of question marks. However, they recovered nicely and added Jameson Taillon and Corey Kluber during the offseason after the calendar flipped to 2021.
Now, the Yankees’ pitching depth, as far as starters go, is Cole, Kluber, Taillon, Jordan Montgomery, Domingo German, Deivi Garcia, Clarke Schmidt, and Mike King, with other names potentially entering the conversation.
Schmidt is injured right now, but all the components of the projected top six right now, which is Cole – Kluber – Taillon – Montgomery – German – Garcia, are having a very good spring training as of Thursday morning, according to the stats.
