The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have been linked to multiple starting pitchers in MLB trade rumors ahead of the July 30 deadline. Now, it appears Los Angeles and New York are both intending to pursue a veteran starter who just became available.
Pitching is a glaring need for both clubs. Entering MLB games today, the Yankees’ pitching staff has the third-worst ERA (4.77) in the majors since June 1. As for Los Angeles, its pitching staff has been decimated by injuries and the starting rotations have been especially problematic for both teams.
