The New York Yankees entered spring training this year with a mostly competition-free slate. Their marginalized talent was likely to be marginalized, no matter how well they performed (sorry, Jasson Domínguez). The rotation, short Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón, was filled (pending injury). The bullpen had soft spots, but one of the most unfamiliar names was all but guaranteed a spot, leaving a single space up for grabs.
Well, but ... hold on now. Because the incoming "lock" has been brutal enough that the Yankees might be forced to ship him elsewhere and carry a second left-hander.
