"The Yankees were known to be one of the teams talking with the Marlins about a possible Edward Cabrera trade, but with Cabrera now in a Cubs uniform, the New York Post's Joel Sherman reports that the Bronx Bombers are looking elsewhere for rotation help. The NY Post's Jon Heyman reiterates that the Yankees continue to have trade interest in the Brewers' Freddy Peralta and the Nationals' MacKenzie Gore,"
"As per offseason norms, the Yankees have been routinely connected to several major players on the free agent and trade markets, though the club has yet to swing a big transaction. New York did bolster its pitching depth by re-signing Ryan Yarbrough and Paul Blackburn, but those aren't the types of arms that would provide the certainty or the upside of a true front-of-the-rotation arm."
"Sherman outlines the situation facing the Yankees' rotation, as technically the team has enough starters between , , Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Yarbrough to cover innings until Carlos Rodon is back from elbow surgery (in late April or early May), and Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt are back from Tommy John surgery. Of course, any injuries to the healthy pitchers or setbacks for the injured pitchers could throw this entire plan awry,"
The Yankees lost access to Edward Cabrera and are seeking other rotation upgrades, with trade interest reported in Freddy Peralta and MacKenzie Gore. A potential Tarik Skubal deal appears unlikely because of Detroit's high asking price. The club added depth by re-signing Ryan Yarbrough and Paul Blackburn, but those signings do not supply true front‑of‑the‑rotation certainty or upside. The current rotation plan counts on coverage from several starters until Carlos Rodón, Gerrit Cole, and Clarke Schmidt return from surgery, but injuries, recovery setbacks, or first‑time struggles could disrupt that plan. A playoff‑caliber starter remains a priority.
