Yankees Could Target These 3 Overlooked Relievers on the Trade Market
The New York Yankees have a reputation for extracting maximum value from their bullpen, even when dealing with a depleted roster. Their ability to exceed expectations with their relievers is noteworthy, but it’s also a common goal across Major League Baseball.
Teams are constantly on the lookout for veteran pitchers who need minor adjustments or untested players with high potential. Some organizations either fail to recognize necessary tweaks or only identify them mid-season, resulting in underwhelming stats that can disappoint fans by the trade deadline.
For the Yankees, the key is finding players who will add value in the latter half of the season, which doesn’t necessarily mean targeting those who performed best in the first half. Although these three relievers aren’t high on most wish lists, they are on the rise and could be highly valuable for the Yankees at the deadline.
Former Yankees’ Farmhand Could Boost the Bullpen
John Brebbia, a right-handed pitcher selected in the 30th Round of the 2024 MLB Draft, is a potential low-cost option who could enhance the Yankees’ bullpen. Despite a 4.50 ERA this season, Brebbia’s 3.22 FIP and 30% strikeout rate indicate potential improvement. Indeed, Brebbia’s recent performance, highlighted by a 31.6% K-BB% and a 1.40 ERA due to subtle but significant adjustments, suggests he is already trending upwards.
