Yankees wants to sign fan-favorite bullpen

Wandy Peralta, a left-hander, is a free agent and could be difficult for the Yankees to sign. In 54 innings, the 32-year-old recorded a 2.83 ERA in 2023. Although they are great numbers on the surface, he also recorded a 5.05 FIP, a -0.5 fWAR, and a fairly high 13.2 percent walk rate.

He has been one of the most consistent Yankees relievers in the last three years

However, taking into account his entire career with the Yankees, it would be wise to bring him back. He has a 2.82 ERA in 153 innings since joining the Bronx in the Mike Tauchman deal, with 133 strikeouts and a ton of groundballs that get the team out of many sticky situations.

Peralta’s ability to dominate batters with both hands gives him an advantage over other lefties. He’s a platoon splitter without the platoon split. Additionally, he is extremely adaptable, having served the Yankees in a number of capacities throughout the years, including middle reliever, setup man, and closer.
