New York Yankees: The Yankees have Devin Williams (RHP, NYY) at closer and Luke Weaver (RHP, NYY) behind him. They added Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar (RHP, NYY) and San Francisco Giants closer Camilo Doval (RHP, NYY) as well as Jake Bird (RHP, NYY) from the Colorado Rockies. Here are the projections:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bednar, David | 5 | 3 | 20 | 3.30 | 1.20 | 31% | 22% | 1.4 |
| Williams, Devin | 5 | 3 | 18 | 2.55 | 1.06 | 39% | 27% | 0.5 |
| Doval, Camilo | 1 | 5 | 20 | 3.03 | 1.35 | 31% | 18% | 0.9 |
| Weaver, Luke | 0 | 5 | 18 | 3.61 | 1.06 | 29% | 20% | 1.0 |
| Hill, Tim LHP | 0 | 4 | 18 | 3.60 | 1.11 | 13% | 7% | 1.0 |
| Bird, Jake | 0 | 3 | 18 | 3.66 | 1.50 | 26% | 14% | 1.0 |
