Yankees Have ‘Dabbled’ In Sweepstakes For Superstar; Could Surprising Move Be Coming?
New York could make one more shocking move this offseason
Snell still likely will land elsewhere at a price New York doesn’t want to spend, but a move can’t be ruled out. New York continues to be mentioned as a possible option and has “dabbled” in the sweepstakes, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
“The Cubs could re-sign (Cody Bellinger), lock down third with (Matt Chapman), or pivot to either Snell or (Jordan Montgomery),” Passan said. “Texas and (the Boston Red Sox) make sense for Montgomery, while the Yankees and (Los Angeles Angels) have dabbled in the Snell sweepstakes.”
Snell is a star and one of the top pitchers in baseball. If the Yankees could land someone of his caliber to add to a rotation that already has Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and Marcus Stroman, they arguably would have the top rotation in baseball.
He is a two-time Cy Young Award winner and if the Yankees truly are going all in on the 2024 campaign, it could make some sense to bring him in.
