The New York Yankees still have room for growth despite a hot start to the season and could get one of the best hurlers available.
New York had the top-ranked bullpen for much of the beginning of the season but it currently ranks sixth with a 3.43 ERA. The Yankees' depth has been tested so far this season with injuries popping up left and right so adding another high-leverage arm should be considered a necessity.and likely will look to make a splash. One player who has popped up as an option a lot is Miami Marlins hurler Tanner Scott.
"The Yankees should target Marlins southpaw Tanner Scott, who isn't earning nearly enough save opportunities in Miami, and assign him to a set-up role before giving the ball to ," Thosar said. "Adding Scott to a bullpen that might also gain Gil or Schmidt from the rotation is certainly a more playoff-ready relief unit."
Scott would make perfect sense for the Yankees. New York hasn't gotten as much production out of its left-handed relievers as it expected to this season and Scott could help fix that. The Yankees have a real chance to win their first World Series since 2009 this season but need another arm or two to help put them over the top.PATRICK MCAVOY
