The Yanks aren’t discussing an extension with Dellin Betances yet and it’s probably best they wait
On an individual player level, the most satisfying part of the 2018 season to me was Dellin Betances going back to being Dellin freaking Betances. Betances was a deserving All-Star in 2017. It’s so easy to forget that. But his control deteriorated so much down the stretch that he was unusable late in the season […] The post The Yanks aren’t discussing an extension with Dellin Betances yet and it’s probably best they wait appeared first on River Avenue Blues.

Dellin Betances thinks Manny Machado would put the Yankees “over the top”
It’s hard to argue with Betances here. Yesterday, Yankees pitchers Dellin Betances and CC Sabathia got into the Thanksgiving spirit by distributing over 600 turkeys to families at the Polo Grounds Community Center. When he wasn’t passing out poultry, Betances took a few minutes to talk baseball with members of the press. The conversation took an interesting turn when the subject of Manny Machado’s free agency came up. Betances gave a glowing endorsement of the infielder, and all but recommended the Yankees to sign him. “I think he’ll put us over the top,” Betances said of...

The Quiet Dominance of Chad Green [2018 Season Review]
The Yankees bullpen was the focus of several storylines in 2018; the resurgence of Dellin Betances, the injuries of Aroldis Chapman, the acquisition of Zach Britton, and Aaron Boone’s strange fascination with A.J. Cole immediately spring to mind. Chad Green’s continued brilliance sort of fell by the wayside as a result, despite the fact that […] The post The Quiet Dominance of Chad Green [2018 Season Review] appeared first on River Avenue Blues.

The Yankees could target these free agent relievers
The talent pool of bullpen arms is deep this winter. Watching the 2018 postseason unfold, we received daily affirmation that the Yankees did indeed possess the best bullpen in the majors. Once New York was eliminated, the starting rotation of the eventual champion Boston Red Sox was arguably the best bullpen still standing. That’s a testament to how difficult it is to put together a truly dominant ‘pen. With Aroldis Chapman, Dellin Betances, Chad Green, and Jonathan Holder under contract for next year, the Bombers are well on their way to remaining the envy of the baseball world as far...

Yankees 2018 Roster Report Card: Dellin Betances
After a weird 2017 campaign, Dellin was dealin’ in 2018. The Yankees’ bullpen was widely considered to be the best in the business heading into the 2018 season, but Dellin Betances was considered a bit of a wild card. Despite earning a fourth-straight All-Star selection in 2017, Betances posted a 5.59 ERA in the final month of the regular season. His struggles carried over into the postseason, where he quickly became a non-factor as control issues continued to plague him. Nobody knew what to expect when Betances took the mound in 2018. Those concerns reached a boiling point heading into...
