You know how many times Suzie Pinstripe and I have written that Jeff Samardzjia would be a perfect fit for the Yankees over the years? Well... that ship has sailed... and Jon Heyman is a moron.
Samardzija is no ace at this point and just average... and to get him in New York wouldn't make much sense... even though Severino is out, Paxton is out... and Domingo German still out... it's not a real good option to stabilize our rotation. I'm not a fan of duct tape and band-aids.
Jon Heyman tweeted this:
Jeff Samardzija is a name that makes sense for Yankees, and there’s a link. Yankees exec Jim Hendry as Cubs GM brought Samardzija to Chicago. But for now Yankees insist they are staying internal.

NJ.com has ripped Heyman alittle too... and I love it:
"Realistic? Highly doubtful, and not just because Yankees GM Brian Cashman has been saying he plans to start the season with in-house fill-ins replacing injured starting pitchers James Paxton and Luis Severino. "
Gary Sheffield Jr. sums it up perfectly:
Baseball insiders like Jon Heyman are bad for journalism. He's pretty awful and at this point in Samardzija's career... it would not be worth it. Cashman is right to stick internally. We have better options in the Bronx and in Tampa than we do signing Samardzija at this point.Me calculating his contract into the Yankees payroll for an average pitcher pic.twitter.com/XaPvC1uXdO— Gary Sheffield Jr. (@GarysheffieldJr) February 28, 2020
Sorry Jeff... and sorry, not sorry Jon. It's over for you. Go away.
