Like any club, the New York Yankees will have their fair share of roster battles this offseason. With Ryan Weathers ranking as the highest profile addition to the pitching staff, we could see more competition than usual, especially among the relief corps.
The Yankees replaced Devin Williams and Luke Weaver with Cade Winquest and Angel Chivilli. The former has never pitched above Double-A. The latter owns a career 6.18 ERA. To say that neither inspires confidence is an understatement.
Then you have Jake Bird, who has been part of Matt Blake's hype campaign, but has options remaining and was quickly demoted as he imploded following his acquisition at the trade deadline last year.
