Yankees’ demand is because the trade deadline is imminent and it’s not a secret. Gerrit Cole Tommy John’s surgery was performed before the season. Clarke Schmidt It looks the same fate. Louis Gill Due to pressure from the lat strain, it has not been kicked Ryan Yarbrough The injured list was also listed at the end of last month. DJ Lemahieu This morning Jazz Chisholm Jr.Return to the second base. Half of the bullpen deserves to be on the injured list.
In view of a blow of injuries and poor performance, General Manager Brian Cashman made it clear in his speech to the media yesterday that he planned to upgrade in rotation, bullpen and infield (via the athlete’s Brendan Kuty link). The pitch is highlighted as a specific focus.
“Whether it’s the bullpen guy or starting pitchers, that’s all,” GM said. “That’s the field. We have the ability, but I think it needs some help, too.”
Yankees starters ranked eighth in the Grand Slam with a collective ERA of 3.69, but that included 78 2/3 innings of 3.32 ERA BALL, from Schmidt, whose season is likely to be over. It also includes Yarbrough’s 40 innings of 3.83 ERA balls, which he is on the shelf due to italic strain. Yankees get great performances from high-profile free agents The biggest explosion and Carlos Rodonbut a newcomer Will Warren 4.70 ERA and fellow prospects in 19 games Cam Schlittler He just made his debut in Major League Baseball yesterday. veteran Marcus Stroman It wasn’t until recently returned from the injured roster and had a 7.45 ERA in five games (although the results after the injury were better than before the injury).
In the bullpen, the Yankees lost Fernando Cruz,,,,, Mark Leiter Jr.,,,,, Jack Cousins and Yerry de Los Santos In the past three weeks. The cousin’s season ends before it really begins because he needs Tommy John’s surgery. Cruz has a 2-level tilt strain and is absent for a long time. Leiter had a pressure fracture in the fibula. While the cousins didn’t pitch this season due to injuries, the other three combinations were 87 1/3 innings with 3.30 ERA goals, with 21 hits and 4 saves.
The need for an infield position has been evident since the offseason. Chisholm can play third and second bases, but is a better defender in the latter aspect and more comfortable. Recently, he expressed the same voice while still being careful to be a team-first warning, “Where they need me”. The Yankees moved Chisholm from hot corner to second base and designated Lemahieu to mission yesterday. Boone believes Lemahieu has no body to handle third base at the moment, and he has also seen his gloves descending at second base. He was released this morning.
Chisholm should be the all-around option for the second base, but there is no such certainty at the third base. Oswald Peraza He was the highest prospect and sound guard in the past, but he reached .152/.220/.254 this season. Jorbit Vivasrecalled Lemahieu’s designated position, cut .156/.255/.267 in 53 major league cards and .286/.409/.393 in Triple-A. Alternate receiver JC Escarra Two more games were recorded at third base, but it was not the usual choice over there. Yankees can use some help and have been linked to Ryan McMahon,,,,, Isiah Kiner-Falefa There are others.
Any acquisitions made by the club will rely on ominous financial background. The Yankees are the third-time taxpayers within the highest penalty range, which means they are paying 110% of the average annual value of any finalist. This is above the player’s actual salary.
For example, Sandy Alcantara Perhaps the most common name on the market for starting the pitching market, but he made 17mm this year and guaranteed $19mm outside of the season. In the last two months of the season alone, he spent the Yankees $12.5mm, plus next year’s 17mm salary, any later taxes, and at least the 2mm acquisition on the 2027 option. Yankees fans often ask Jacob DeGrom In our chat at MLBTR, but DeGrom has a 37.85mm AAV and a 2025 40mm salary on his remaining contract. He spent 27.1mm in the last two months of the season at 27.1mm, and in the last two months of the season, even before taking into account the 75mm he owed in 2026-27, their debt (and all taxes) (and their averages are not paid), or paid, or paid.
The extent to which ownership is willing to further increase wages is unclear. In the recent offseason, the Yankees have violated some obvious financial restrictions. Managing partner Hal Steinbrenner has publicly and famously stated that he believes annual salary is unsustainable. Yankees are not far from that threshold now. Cashman said yesterday that Stanbrenner has told him to introduce any and all circumstances, regardless of the cost, and warned against assuming that players or players are too expensive. These decisions will be made by ownership case by case.
