This Friday was a pretty busy day in MLB, not only because it was the last day for salary agreements between teams and their players who were eligible for arbitration, but also because New York Yankees signed two “big shots” from free agency– Star infielder DJ LeMahieu and veteran starter Corey Bluber.
With Kluber acquired for a year in exchange for $ 11 million, what would be the Rotation of the Yankees for the 2021 season, which, if the health authorities and government allow it, could start as planned on April 1. With Kluber added to the initialist coat of arms, for now this is the projected rotation of the mules.
- 1. Gerrit Cole (LD)
- 2. Corey Kluber (LD)
- 3. Jordan Montgomery (LZ)
- 4. Domingo Germán (RHP)
- 5. Deivi García (LD)
- Luis Severino (LD) * until summer
Other pitchers that manager Aaron Boone could use as starters include: Michael King, Clarke Schmidt, Jonathan Loaisiga from Nicaragua and Jhoulys Chacín from Venezuela.
It should be noted that New York is looking for another starting pitcher according to several sources of prestigious journalists. The latest reports indicate that the New York administration is negotiating with Dominican right-handed Luis Castillo. Also, although it seems less likely, there is still Masahiro Tanaka as an option to return.
