You have to love Tanaka, loyal to the end. |

Tanaka is a class act. Just like he didn’t opt out of his contract when he had the chance a couple years ago, he just wants to get the Yankees a championship. He probably feels his work isn’t done in New York until that happens. I hope the Yankees resign him. |

Sign DJ, Tanaka, and Kluber.
Though nothing will match the two headed monster of Nestor and Warren.

It’s a bit disappointing that the Yankees really haven’t drafted and developed a top-tier starting pitcher since Andy Pettitte. We had high hopes for Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, Joba Chamberlain, Dellin Betances, Andrew Brackman, Manny Banuelos, etc., but it just hasn’t happened. I shouldn’t forget Chien-Ming Wang, alas what could have been if not for inter-league play and running the bases.
Whitey Ford
Mel Stottlemyer
Ron Guidry
Andy Pettitte
In 70 years, not exactly a ringing endorsement of pitcher prospect identification and development by the Yankees. No wonder the Yankees look to free agency for top of the rotation starters: Cole, Tanaka, Sabathia, Mussina, Clemens, Wells, Cone, Key, etc.
Actually, we have some promising home grown talent currently, if they can stay healthy and take the next step in development: Luis Severino, Jordan Montgomery, Domingo German, Deivi Garcia.

I'm hopeful for those you listed at the end but you're right, its really a shame we haven't been able to develop top tier starting pitching.
Well, we'll always have Nestor and Warren.  |

The reason the Rays threw in the towel and traded their best pitcher. |

The reason the Rays threw in the towel and traded their best pitcher. The reason the Cubs are selling. And they're not even in our league! |
