The New York Yankees are looking to strengthen their bullpen as the trade deadline approaches. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Yankees have a list of relief pitchers they are targeting, including Tanner Scott from the Miami Marlins and Pete Fairbanks from the Tampa Bay Rays. They are also considering Kyle Finnegan from the Washington Nationals and several other pitchers who are considered to be back-end worthy.
Acquiring a reliable closer is crucial for the Yankees as they look to solidify their bullpen for the remainder of the season. Both Scott and Fairbanks have shown promise in their respective roles and could provide the Yankees with the stability they need in the late innings.
In addition to Scott and Fairbanks, the Yankees are also exploring other options to improve their bullpen. It remains to be seen which pitchers they will ultimately target and whether they will be able to strike a deal before the trade deadline.
Adding a strong closer to the roster could make a significant impact for the Yankees as they make a push for the playoffs. With the American League East division race heating up, having a reliable option to close out games could be the difference maker for the team.
As the trade deadline approaches, all eyes will be on the Yankees to see if they can make a move to bolster their bullpen. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available about their potential targets and any potential deals that may be in the works.
