Episode Details

The Yankees are pushing reliever Brent Headrick to the brink, relying on him in nearly every game as he dominates with a 1.55 ERA and already 65 appearances — including his seventh win this season. While his heavy workload raises concerns, Headrick remains focused, aiming to deliver his best despite the pressure. On pace for over 80 appearances — a feat last seen by Boone Logan in 2012 — he’s become the team’s most trusted arm in high-stakes moments. With a near-lock playoff spot (99.7% chance), the Yankees may follow the Dodgers’ postseason blueprint: using starters like Max Fried or Clarke Schmidt out of the bullpen. Already MLB’s second-best bullpen, adding those arms to Headrick, Cruz, Blackburn, and Bednar could make them unstoppable come October.
