After the acquisitions of David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle earlier this week, the Yankees now have what’s considered one of the most dominant bullpens in baseball. However, the Yankees might have one too many arms in the pen, which led many to speculate that Dellin Betances could be on the trade market.
This morning on MLB Network Radio, Brian Cashman told Jim Bowden the Yankees had no intentions on trading the 29-year-old reliever.

The four-time All-Star is 3-4 with a 2.87 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 31.1 innings this season. While Betances could bring the team a starter in the trade market, the Yankees would prefer to keep Betances especially since he’s under team control until the 2020 season.
