Rule 5 Draft Leaves Yankees With Interesting Bullpen Decision
- The Yankees are evaluating bullpen spots with Cade Winquest pushing for a major league role as Opening Day approaches.
- Winquest, a Rule 5 pick, would have to be kept on the Yankees’ roster to stay in the majors all season.
- Winquest has added a sinker and is receiving attention for his development as a right-handed reliever.
- Headrick remains a key challenger, with 23 innings last season producing a 3.13 ERA
- Yankees have long coveted Winquest, dating back to the 2022 draft run, making a stay in the majors more plausible.
- Winquest's potential inclusion hinges on his ability to persist on the roster rather than being sent back.
- The decision could shape the midpart of the Yankees' bullpen composition this spring.
- The team views Winquest as a right-handed option that could offer flexibility in bullpen management.
- Spring Training performances will influence whether Winquest secures a roster spot.
