WOULD THE YANKEES CONSIDER BRINGING TOMMY KAHNLE BACK?

When Tommy Kahnle was on the Yankees, I was a big fan. When he was in New York, Tommy's numbers were respectable. 4 years, 4.01 ERA, 157 strikeouts and under 50 walks.  He did the job and he did it well.   You gotta wonder if a few years later he still has it. I say yeah, and guess what, he's available.

Empire Sports NY writes:

"Kahnle came to the Yankees in a trade with the White Sox in 2017 and quickly became a bullpen staple. His high-90s fastball paired with a deadly changeup. He posted 12.6 strikeouts per nine innings (K/9) as a Yankee before Tommy John surgery knocked him out of the shortened 2020 season. Even better, Kahnle was well-loved in the clubhouse thanks to his endless optimistic energy.

It’s been a long road back but Kahnle made the most of his month with the Dodgers in 2022. Kahnle’s fastball was still in the 92nd percentile and his average velocity sat at 95.7 mph."

Jon Heyman Tweets:

Tommy Kahnle has 10 plus teams expressing interest after strong September return with Dodgers (0.63 WHIP, 2.84 ERA). Ex Yankee also benefits from demand outstripping supply in relief market.

Look, the Yanks have alot of bigger things to worry about, like Judge, but this is something they should definitely consider.

We shall see.
