Do the Yankees need to make a big splash this offseason in the rotation?

Yankees' Rotation Concerns

The Yankees' rotation was expected to be a strength entering Spring Training, but injuries to Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil have raised concerns.

Despite these injuries, the rotation still managed to finish in the top 10 in ERA and WAR in 2025, with Marcus Stroman and Carlos Carrasco as their no. 5 starters.

However, the team's performance in the ALDS was disappointing, with the Blue Jays overpowering Max Fried and Carlos Rodon, except for Cam Schlittler who registered a quality start.

With Rodon starting the season on the injured list and Gerrit Cole not expected to be activated by Opening Day, the question remains whether the team needs to add a starter.

No official statement has been made regarding the team's plans for the rotation.
