Might the New York Yankees soon bolster their starting rotation with a significant addition? The team’s impressive 13-win record sets them apart in baseball, especially considering they’ve achieved this success while not yet at full strength, notably missing Gerrit Cole, the 2023 American League Cy Young Award winner. Although Cole’s return is imminent, there’s still room for another impactful acquisition.
As contenders for the World Series title, the Yankees may well become active participants in the summer trade market. Bleacher Report’s Tim Kelly identifies them as potential suitors for Miami Marlins pitcher Jesús Luzardo, among others. Despite Luzardo’s shaky start to the 2024 season, his track record demonstrates promise, with solid performances in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. At 26 years old, he offers considerable upside, making him an attractive option for teams seeking pitching depth.
Considering New York’s need for another starter and Luzardo’s potential availability, could a trade between the two teams be a viable option?
