The New York Yankees, who are making their first presidential bid since 2009, are expected to recruit a closer who will be responsible for the ninth inning in the trade market.
The New York Post, a local media outlet in New York, said on the 14th (Korean time) that the New York Yankees will focus on reinforcing the bullpen in the trade market.
The New York Yankees rank No. 1 overall in the Major League with a 2.90 ERA. They remain second and third with 2.78 and 3.19 ERA, respectively. They are performing very well.
However, he is worried about his performance in the ninth inning. Clay Holmes, who is playing as a closing pitcher, has a 1.80 ERA this season, but he already has four Blon saves.
Holmes failed to keep the lead by one point at the game against the Royals in Kansas City on Wednesday. He took the mound in the ninth inning with a 3-2 lead, and caused the Royals to come from behind to lose 3-4. 안전 슬롯사이트
Hence, there is a growing need to recruit a finishing pitcher who can take responsibility for the ninth inning even in times of crisis. If the New York Yankees even have a special finishing pitcher, they will become more complete.
Candidates include left-handed closer Tanner Scott (30) of the Miami Marlins and right-handed closer Mason Miller of the Oakland Athletics.
All of them are closing pitchers with strong ball power. In particular, Miller is considered to throw the best four-seam fastball in the Major League.
However, the trade value gap between the two players is considerable. Scott will become a free agent at the end of this season. As he is renting a car for half a year, the price will likely not be high.
Miller, on the other hand, will not become a free agent until after the 2029 season. The cost will be considerable. Hence, chances are high that the New York Yankees will focus on Scott.
There is also a possibility that Oakland, which is about to move to its hometown, will not sell Miller, which it can keep for a long time. In contrast, chances are high that Miami will send Scott out.
Attention is focusing on whether the New York Yankees, who are aiming to win the World Series for the first time in 15 years since 2009, will be able to secure a relief ace to take charge of the ninth inning.
