The New York Yankees are short on true difference-makers in the rotation. Outside of Gerrit Cole, the other true top-of-the-rotation arm, Luis Severino, is injured and probably won’t return before June 2021. Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton and J.A. Happ will be free agents, and while Deivi Garcia, Domingo German, Clarke Schmidt and Jordan Montgomery are certainly talented, they are still not on Cole’s level.
As the New York Yankees are looking for answers in the rotation, one notable arm is hitting the market after the World Series: Trevor Bauer. Since his Cincinnati Reds were eliminated in the Wild Card round, he has been writing on Twitter at virtually every team to engage with fans and offer his services.
