Bednar’s Brilliance and the Yankees’ Dilemma | New York Yankees News

David Bednar’s turnaround from shaky Yankee closer to elite late-inning force is nothing short of remarkable—since May 18, he’s posted a 1.52 ERA and 0.77 WHIP, striking out 10 per nine innings with just one home run allowed. His overall 2.64 ERA and 1.027 WHIP this year prove he’s been a stabilizing force for New York’s bullpen. Now, with free agency looming and Bednar turning 32 in October, the Yankees face a tough decision: pay top dollar to retain their bullpen anchor—or risk losing him to a higher bidder. With his track record since 2021 and the team’s dependence on him, this offseason move could define their bullpen’s future.
