• AL rotation depth 2026 โ€” which teams are most exposed if their ace goes down?

    Ranking AL teams by rotation depth vulnerability: Tampa Bay is most exposed โ€” their 2-through-5 starters have a collective 4.61 ERA over the last two seasons and they have almost no upper-minors depth capable of contributing immediately. Baltimore at two โ€” they have Bradish and then a significant drop in ceiling. Toronto three โ€” Gausman and then question marks. The most rotation-depth-secure team in the AL is New York Yankees, who have five starters with at minimum league-average expected performance, and two prospects ready to contribute if needed. The Rays' investment model works until it doesn't, and rotation depth is exactly where it breaks down first.
