AL East Notes: Yankees bullpen, Red Sox prospects, Rays lineup

New York already has a deep bullpen. But it might get any deeper.

The Yankees acquired Aroldis Chapman, which pushes Andrew Miller into a setup role while giving the club depth.

Although the bullpen appears to be set, the Yankees are still considering adding a veteran reliever.

• Since 2010, the Yankees have had success every April, Pinstripe Alley points out.

• There are plenty of big name Red Sox prospects. However, Trey Ball and Travis Lakins are among the ones who need to have big 2016 campaigns for Boston.

• Will Boston and New York matchup well with each other this season? There is certainly a good chance, Over the Monster's Joon Lee suggests.

• Tampa Bay's lineup, for the most part, is set. But there is still some uncertainty with regard to the catching position.
• Baltimore is among the clubs considering trading for James Shields.

• Dexter Fowler could have earned $23 million more by accepting Baltimore's offer, according to MLB Network Insider Jon Heyman.
