Could Yankees make a deal with the Marlins for this cost-effective LHP?

Everyone in the New York Yankees organization, from ownership on down, is hell-bent on avoiding another postseason absence in 2024 and beyond at all costs.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Yankees are still looking for another strong starting pitcher, and Peter Brody of SB Nation’s Pinstripe Alley justified the Yankees going after Miami Marlins’ Braxton Garrett, saying this about a specific aspect of his game that would go a long way in the Bronx:

“Because of the wicked movement on his pitches and his pinpoint control, Garrrett is one of the best pitchers in MLB at commanding the edges of the strike zone and getting called strikes,” Brody said in a statement. “The tilt and sweep on his three top pitches (sinker, slider, and changeup) allows him to start those offerings well off the plate, causing the hitter to give up on the pitch before it moves back to catch the black.”

It’s no secret that the Yankees are looking for and in desperate need of another high-caliber pitcher to ensure that their rotation is best positioned to overcome previous playoff setbacks and triumph against fellow predicted World Series contenders.
