New report out states that the Atlanta Braves are very interested in Dallas Keuchel. And now that Patrick Corbin is off the market and Eovaldi is most definitely going to the Red Sox, it's my feeling that the Yankees need to start to put all their money in a bag and sign a free agent starting pitcher.
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes that Dallas Keuchel is "high on their wish list". IN short, the Braves really like the guy. But can they and will they pull the trigger and nail down this stud starter?
Keuchel has made it clear that he'd be willing to go anywhere, including come to New York. Back in November he said that he'd shave to come to New York. Forbes writes what Dallas said at the time:
"'For the right opportunity, I would happily shave this beard off,' Keuchel said. 'For sure.' He added that New York City has a certain appeal to it. 'Everyone’s in play right now,' the 30-year-old said. 'The lure of the city would be really cool. I like pitching in Yankee Stadium.'”
Hey look, who knows, right? Here's what I do know... the Yankees got Paxton in a trade and now they need to sign a free agent. Is it Kluber? Is it Keuchel? Hell... is it Happ? It's gotta be one of these guys, doesn't it?
We need to see. I love Dallas. I'd love to see him in pinstripes... even though Pinstripe Alley disagrees.
There's enough opinion for everyone out there when it comes to the free agent, rumor market.
Stay tuned...
I have to think that if the Yankees had wanted to make a lasting impression on Corbin common sense would had said we need Andy Pettitte here when he comes.
ReplyDeleteCorbin admires Andy, wears his number. Instead he was nowhere to be seen.
Andy could had sold him on the city,the team and what's it like to be Yankee.
Got to thing Hal and Cash dropped the ball on this recruiting.
