With Gerrit Cole now a New York Yankee, the Yanks are looking to secure the bullpen and become even more confident in the pitching department. I guess they read BYB and understand our concern when it comes to a short series like the playoffs. WE WERE EXPOSED WITH PITCHING PROBLEMS in 2019 at times. And yes... that's what hurt us down the stretch. We had the tools when it comes to offense.... but when it came to arms, we just weren't dominant.
With Cole, we will be better. With Hader, we may be the best damn team in all of baseball. Tweets are coming in fast and furious on Twitter. Here's the Score:
The Yankees are reportedly the most active pursuer of Brewers closer Josh Hader. https://t.co/3ILPfAYyNH pic.twitter.com/YURGbgPZlr— theScore (@theScore) December 12, 2019
And MLB Trade Rumors writes:
"...the Yankees 'have been the most active pursuer' of Hader. The Yanks already possess two dynamic southpaws in Aroldis Chapman and Zack Britton. Having already brought in Chapman and Gerrit Cole this offseason, a move for Hader would make a stunning trifecta of high-powered arms. "
Now I guess we have to wait and see.
Bottom line though? I want the dude in pinstripes... BADLY!
Mixed feelings. Big K guy, but bad HR rate. FIP higher than ERA. Get him without giving up too much or pass.
