Saw that earlier today. He finally hit the wall in Game 7 vs. Houston, but helped give the Yankees a helluva playoff run! Severino, Gray, Tanaka, CC and Jordan Montgomery is not enough. The rumor is that they are working on a trade with Pittsburgh to acquire Gerrit Cole. He's an innings eating guy who had an all-star season in 2015, but who was meh last season. He'll be the perfect age next season, 27, and with that lineup an innings eating meh starting pitcher might be all they need. They haven't been connected to Darvish or Jake rumors, but it’s not like the Yankees HAVE to add another starter. Jordan Montgomery is a nice No. 4 or 5 starter, and they have several decent fifth-starter options, including Adam Warren and Chad Green as well as a prospect named Chance Adams, 23, a converted reliever with 4 pitches who led the minors in winning percentage last season (.929), while going 4-0 and posting a 1.03 ERA when he was promoted to AAA. Exciting times ahead!
