A calculated risk and the disappearance of the Yankees' pitching depth
Briefly

The New York Yankees are encountering early-season adversity, primarily due to the loss of ace pitcher Gerrit Cole, who is scheduled for Tommy John surgery. Other significant concerns include injuries to players like Luis Gil and Giancarlo Stanton. In their efforts to upgrade the roster, the Yankees made trade-offs, notably trading Nestor Cortes for Devin Williams. This decision, aimed at fortifying their bullpen, is now being questioned as team depth dwindles, and they rely on less experienced pitchers like Will Warren for rotation stability.
The Yankees face significant challenges this season, losing key players like Gerrit Cole to surgery and dealing with injuries to other vital team members.
Despite offseason efforts to strengthen the roster, trades have resulted in loss of depth, leading to constraints in starting rotation options already this early in the season.
