It was evident at various points in the season that the Yankees they needed the Dominican starter, but due to the situation, they were forced to promote rookies like Deivi Garcia, also from the Dominican Republic. The great acquisition of Gerrit Cole After the 2019 campaign was over, it was not enough to solve the problems that not having a solid starter like Severino represented the “Bronx bombers”.
New York Yankees is now in a more dire situation than during the past two seasons, due to the success it has shown Tampa Bay Rays, champions of the American League, as well as the improvements you have made Toronto Blue Jays to his roster, with the inclusion of several players, the most prominent being the outfielder George Springer.
