The New York Yankees are seeking a starting rotation replacement for Gerrit Cole after the franchise ace underwent season-ending surgery.

The New York Yankees are suddenly in need of a starting pitcher. With few options available, a former Cy Young Award winner has made himself available.

Cashman has publicly acknowledged the limited options on the pitching market this early in the season, highlighting the Yankees' intention to rely heavily on internal arms. That means leaning on Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Marcus Stroman, and Clarke Schmidt despite their own injury concerns and question marks.
