The signing of Marcus Stroman appeared to conclude the New York Yankees’ offseason, but general manager Brian Cashman has since denied the rumors. The front management isn’t going to sit on their hands until the offseason plays out, so something even bigger than the Stroman transaction could be in the works.
Jim Bowden, a baseball reporter, stated on X (previously Twitter):
“Brian Cashman Yankees GM told us that he continues to have trade discussions with other clubs and is still talking to agents regarding possible pitching addition(s).”
Just Stroman was added to the New York Yankees’ roster as a free agent. They added depth with two transactions, but both involved offense and involved a plethora of pitching prospects.
This article claims that the club is still shopping around for arms and may land a major acquisition before spring training starts.
What kind of arms are the Yankees considering?
This offseason, the Yankees have made three significant moves. A deal for Alex Verdugo was their first move. Then, in a subsequent deal, they acquired Juan Soto. Marcus Stroman was subsequently signed.
That creates a hole in their pitching staff, which Brian Cashman says he is actively trying to fill. Being in touch with teams and player agencies raises the possibility of a major deal or signing.
Additional agreements are being considered by Brian Cashman.
Additional agreements are being considered by Brian Cashman.
They may be able to meet free agent Blake Snell’s asking price and sign him to a Bronx contract as they have already extended an offer to him. Early on, they mentioned being interested in Jordan Montgomery, and he is still available.
It has been said for a long time that they are interested in trading for Dylan Cease. Even if they can’t pull off a trade of that magnitude, they still like him as a player.
If the Yankees were to pursue a trade this summer, they may pursue either Corbin Burnes or Shane Bieber, according to rumors.
