When the New York Yankees signed former Met Justin Wilson to a two-year, $5.15 million deal, they imagine him being an integral part of their bullpen. In fact, there’s a good chance he plays a big role in 2021, as he posted a 3.66 ERA in 2020 with the Yankees’ crosstown rivals.
In 2019, he logged a 2.54 ERA over 39 innings, an even greater sample size compared to last season, showcasing his qualities. As a former fifth-round pick in the 2008 June Amateur Draft, Wilson is now 33 years old and looking to take a significant role with the Bombers.
