The New York Yankees are keeping their head above water, but the starting rotation is still a major concern. Though Max Fried is in the early running for the American League Cy Young Award, the bottom of the depth chart remains extremely shaky.

With the poor performance of trade acquisition Devin Williams, the Yankees may be looking to make a trade for a veteran closer.

Although the Yankees won the battle (AKA the American League pennant), it isn’t unrealistic to suggest the Padres are winning the war. King broke out for 13 wins, a 2.95 ERA, and 201 strikeouts over 31 games (30 starts) last season.
