00:00The Yankees' rebuild is an epic failure. Why?
00:04The Yankees attempted to extinguish a fire in their bullpen, but somehow ended up pouring gasoline on it instead.
00:11Let's break this down.
00:13Yankees GM Brian Cashman aimed to bolster the bullpen by acquiring David Bednar, Camilo Dovel, and Jake Bird, hoping to plug numerous leaks.
00:23Yet, post-trade deadline, their ERA soared to 5.57.
00:27The league's third worst, marking a decline from a 4.19 ERA.
00:33Despite Bednar's impressive performance with a 2.70 ERA and 25 strikeouts over 16.2 innings, the Yankees struggle to deliver the ball to him effectively.
00:45The bullpen's dysfunction escalates their ERA to 4.54, exacerbating the issue.
00:50You can't save a game that's already been torched by the seventh inning.
00:53Jake Bird's Yankees debut lasted only two innings, giving up six runs, leading to a demotion to AAA, where his 7.15 ERA reveals a spiraling performance.
01:04Camilo Dovel, despite his reputation, has seen his ERA balloon to 6.59 with nine walks and 18 hits in 13.2 innings.
01:12In two games, five Yankee relievers surrendered 18 earned runs to the Tigers, a team not known for potent offense.
01:20In one game, Cruz and Leder allowed nine runs without recording an out, marking a complete bullpen implosion.
01:26And let's not forget former closer Devin Williams, whose 5.50 ERA somehow looks average next to the rest of this disaster crew.
01:35He's one of four Yankee relievers above a 5.30 ERA, a liability with October looming.
01:42Despite being 80-65, their playoff hopes are dimming.
01:46Without a reliable bullpen, they risk only a participation trophy.
01:50Cashman's moves haven't solved New York's bullpen issues.
