Yankees Pursue Twins' All-Star Ryan in Bold Trade Pitch
29 Jan
Summary
- Yankees signed Cody Bellinger to a five-year deal.
- Injuries to Cole and Rodon create pitching rotation concerns.
- Yankees might trade prospects for pitcher Joe Ryan.
The New York Yankees made significant moves this offseason, notably retaining Cody Bellinger on a five-year, $162.5 million contract. Their winter activities also included acquiring Ryan Weathers and Angel Chivilli via trade, signing Amed Rosario, and re-signing Trent Grisham. These acquisitions aimed to address specific team needs, though the pitching staff remains a concern.
Gerrit Cole is expected back in late May or June following Tommy John surgery, while Carlos Rodon's return from elbow surgery is anticipated in late April or early May. This leaves the Yankees rotation vulnerable for the start of the season.
In response, a trade proposal suggests the Yankees acquire Joe Ryan from the Minnesota Twins. This potential deal would involve sending prospects Will Warren, Spencer Jones, and Bryce Cunningham to Minnesota, securing an All-Star pitcher for New York's rotation and enhancing their championship aspirations.
