The New York Yankees underwent a tremendous rebuild last season that saw them bring in a multitude of young talent. However, with that youth alongside some free agent signings, the Yankees still have some questions regarding their rotation.

The New York Yankees have turned themselves around from one of the oldest teams into one of the youngest. Although they signed guys like Chris Carter and Matt Holliday, the Yankees remain pretty young overall. This youth has caused the Yankees to have some exceptional depth, with one of these areas of depth being their pitching rotation.

Although the rotation itself may not be the best, the Yankees have four likely options to fill out the fifth spot in their rotation behind Luis Severino. Each guy has his own questions marks surrounding him, however the Yankees still do have a choice to make. Spring Training will likely be the source of this choice, but the Yankees must be keen on making the correct one. With Spring Training underway, lets look at the Yankees four options for the back of their rotation.
