NEW YORK — Longtime Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has a go-to phrase when it comes to a team’s relief corps.
“Bullpens are volatile,” he says, meaning the fluctuation a group can have from one season to the next or, in some cases, from one week or month to the next.
But mostly terrific bullpens — or at least fairly decent ones in down seasons — have been a hallmark of Yankees teams the last decade-plus, and this season is shaping up as no exception.
