New York Yankees put together a good starting rotation in the 2021 season of Major League Baseball (MLB), which was affected by the injuries. Now, facing the 2022 harvest, they have lost a pitcher who could have contributed a lot.

It’s about the veteran Corey Kluber, who had signed with the Bronx Mules after overcoming injuries and regaining confidence. Several teams were present for a test session and finally, the New Yorkers offered him a contract.

However, following the completion of the 2021 Major League Baseball campaign, the pitcher became a free agent. Expecting what might happen to his career, Kluber waited for another chance and Tampa Bay Rays gave it to him.
