Since the start of the offseason, the New York Yankees can be considered to have done their homework, bringing Anthony Rizzo and Aaron Judge back to the Bronx, as well as adding a quality arm to the starting rotation, that of Carlos Rodon.
There are, however, a few more pieces to add to the puzzle so the Bombers can finally take it to the next level, that of beating the villainous Houston Astros. And one of them definitely ends up in left field.
It is for this reason that the New York staff is in talks with the Pittsburgh Pirates to get their hands on outfielder Bryan Reynolds.
For the moment, negotiations are stalled, since the Pirates want to obtain starting pitchers in return for Reynolds, which is not necessarily what the Yankees have in abundance at the level of the leads.
However, there is a way to reach an agreement, especially if general manager Brian Cashman decides to include one of his best prospects, such as Oswald Peraza, in the negotiations, even if he does not evolve not on the mound. The Pirates would be foolish not to consider it. Although we are not far from a surprise in Pittsburgh…
Domingo German, Gleyber Torres, Clayton Beeter and Luis Gil are also names to watch should a pact ever be signed.
In the event that the two parties do not come to an agreement, Michael Conforto and Jurickson Profar could become an alternative option.
The search for a left fielder in the Bronx is not a vote of no confidence in young Oswaldo Cabrera, but the Yankees need a spark in order to finally live up to fans’ expectations of winning a first. championship since 2009.
