Ex-Yankees traded starter will have a chance at revenge on Saturday

The New York Yankees made a bold offseason trade, sending Nestor Cortes and prospect Caleb Durbin to the Milwaukee Brewers for Devin Williams, one of MLB's top relief pitchers. Cortes had been a key rotation piece for the Yankees, but concerns over his durability led New York to prioritize a stronger bullpen. Williams is seen as a perfect fit to strengthen the Yankees' late-game performance.

Cortes, a fan favorite, posted a 3.77 ERA over 174.1 innings last season, while Durbin showed promise in spring training. The Yankees, facing injuries to their rotation, opted for immediate impact over long-term potential. As the 2024 season progresses, fans eagerly anticipate how this trade will unfold, especially with Cortes set to face his former team shortly.

How does the trade of Nestor Cortes affect the Yankees' starting rotation?What strategies might the Yankees employ against left-handed pitchers?What can we expect from Devin Williams in his first season with the Yankees?What does the trade mean for the future of the Yankees’ infield?
