New York Daily News | Gary Phillips:
If the Yankees decide not to pursue Bellinger or any of the other high-profile players available this winter, such as Juan Soto or Yoshinobu Yamamoto, there are a number of unsung candidates that may strengthen the team.Cleveland Guardians star With only one more season of control left, Shane Bieber might be a trade asset. Additionally, Yankee brass should be taking notice of KBO star Jung-Hoo Lee’s bat-to-ball skills.
Bleacher Report | Jack Murray:
The Yankees have reportedly asked about a reunion with both Jordan Montgomery and Frankie Montas, adding to the rumors surrounding free agents. Gumby, who was traded away at the 2022 trade deadline, will be hoping to make a big move following an incredible second half that saw him win a World Series ring with the Rangers. While Montas, a former fireballer, attempts to reestablish value after tossing just 40 innings in Yankee pinstripes over a year and a half, he might make more sense on a prove-it type deal.
