MLB Trade Rumors: The Yankees are showing interest in LHP Jaime Garcia

By -
The entire baseball world was set on the fact that Jaime Garcia would be sent to the Minnesota Twins earlier this week, but it fell through due to a concern over the health of one of the players that would have headed back to Atlanta. The Twins and Braves still have mutual interest, but the market has now expanded beyond Minnesota for Garcia’s services. According to FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman, the Yankees are one of five or six teams that have a drawing interesting in the southpaw.

Garcia is not having one of his better seasons as he is sporting a 4.30 ERA and is barley maintaining his career worst strikeout to walk ratio. However, when healthy, he has proven to be able to give quality innings and give his team a chance to win on a nightly basis. He has postseason experience and would give the Yankees another veteran to add to their young pitching staff. Garcia would not cost a top prospect as he isn’t an ace and would only be a rental for the remainder of the season. With the Yankees loaded system, they would in all likelihood not have to give up one of their top ten prospects in exchange for Garcia.

The Yankees could pull a similar move to their previous trade with the White Sox and fill another gap in the team by including 1B Matt Adams in a possible trade with the Braves. The Yankees do not have a dire need for a corner infielder, after the acquisition of Todd Frazier, but the possibility is not out of the question.


Stay tuned to the BBB for more news on this development.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
