The New York Yankees have surrendered first place in the American League East to the Baltimore Orioles. Even with a recent rough patch, manager Aaron Boone’s club is still 53-32 and in prime position to return to the postseason. Might general manager Brian Cashman add to the bullpen before the July 30 trade deadline by trying to acquire Miami Marlins reliever Tanner Scott?
Chris Kirschner and Brendan Kuty of The Athletic put together six trade proposals that could hypothetically improve problem areas on the Yankees’ current roster. They also had former general manager Jim Bowden share his critique on each. Here’s the deal that’d bring Scott to the Bronx:
New York’s bullpen has been mostly average so far in 2024. The unit’s collective 3.73 ERA ranks 14th in baseball and their 1.4 fWAR checks in at 17th, per FanGraphs. Closer Clay Holmes has performed well in his final year before hitting free agency, posting a 2.65 ERA through 34 innings. However, getting another high-leverage reliever with late-inning experience for the stretch run is never a bad idea.
