MLB's Jon Morosi reports that the Yankees are 'among the most active teams' in the starting pitching market, and that they've shown interest in NPB star Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Phillies starter Aaron Nola.
The GM remarked on Giancarlo Stanton's injuries, and yesterday, Stanton's agent, Joel Wolfe, fired back. Wolfe told The Athletic: I think it's a good reminder for all free agents considering signing in New York both foreign and domestic that to play for that team you've got to be made of Teflon, both mentally and physically because you can never let your guard down even in the offseason Notably, Wolfe also represents Yamamoto.
Yesterday was the deadline for MLB teams to add minor leaguers to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft, and the Yankees made two additions: righty pitcher Clayton Beeter and catcher Agustin Ramirez.
Phillips details the Yankees' awful injury issues over the last few years, issues which Eric Cressey was brought in to alleviate after the 2019 season. The Yankees saw 30 players hit the IL in 2019, and they've continued to have huge chunks of their roster miss time, with 28 players seeing IL time in 2023.
