Could the New York Yankees land a hurler with one of the best fastballs in baseball this summer? It sounds like a possibility.
ahead of the 2024 Major League Baseball trade deadline. The Yankees have some room for growth despite a fantastic start to the season and The Athletic's Chris Kirschner and Brendan Kuty
"The Yankees seem likely to try to add at least one back-end flamethrower," Kirschner and Kuty said. "They'll surely be in the sweepstakes for rookie Mason Miller, who throws 104 MPH. The Chicago White Sox's Michael Kopech won't be a free agent until after the next season." New York already has a great closer in Clay Holmes but there is a solid chance that he could end up leaving in free agency at the end of the season. Kopech could immediately come in and help out in the eighth inning and then take over the closer role in 2025.
The Yankees' bullpen already has been great this season but it is dealing with some high-impact injuries in the bullpen. Landing someone like Kopech could be a perfect option to help out now and for the foreseeable future. Kopech boasts one of the best fastballs in baseball and immediately would give the Yankees another dynamic option down the stretch. Why not take a chance on him?Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on basketball and baseball.
