Yankees' Bullpen Struggles: Chivilli Fails, Others Step Up

The New York Yankees bullpen faces uncertainty heading into the 2026 season, following the departure of Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. The team has acquired Angel Chivilli from the Colorado Rockies, a 23-year-old Dominican with a high-velocity fastball and sharp breaking pitches. However, Chivillis major league stats have been less than impressive, with a 4.55 ERA in 2024 and a 7.06 ERA in 2025. His struggles continued in spring training, leading to his likely demotion to Triple-A. The Yankees are now relying on pitchers like Jake Bird, Brent Headrick, and Cade Winquest to bolster their bullpen, hoping for better results than last seasons deadline acquisitions.
