They have been led by stars such as Aaron Judge, Max Fried, and several others. Despite their strong start, the Yankees still have flaws like every other contender across the league. One of their biggest concerns has been the bullpen.
“Outside of those three, it’s hard to see who can be trusted. Fernando Cruz has been wild so far this season, and has issued too many walks early this season. Jake Bird is emerging, but has shown high vulnerability in big spots, but has also been clutch in big spots and could be worth a high-leverage look.

David Bednar has been one of the few bright spots in the bullpen, but the Yankees still need another elite reliever to pair alongside him. One potential option could be Jhoan Duran of the Philadelphia Phillies .
