Bronx, New York / 24.01.2021 18:11:39
In an offseason in which the movements have been dripping, the Bronx Bombers are looking to put something on the table of the MLB, because according to the latest reports, the Yankees are trying to trade Adam Ottavino, the reliever he claimed could strike out Babe Ruth every time.
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Yankees are looking to redeem Adam Ottavino with most or all of his pledged $ 9 million salary for the 2021 season.
In the recent 2020 short season, Ottavino struggled to post a 5.89 ERA and a 1.58 hit and walk average for every inning he pitched, but a year earlier he showed better credentials with a 1.90 ERA and 88 strikeouts in just over 66 entries, almost 1.3 per entry.
The Yankees are looking to avoid the luxury tax that is set for payrolls higher than $ 210 million. The team signed DJ LeMahieu and Corey Kluber, and according to projections, he would have a margin of $ 6 million left to work with.
New York is looking to add more depth to its pitching staff and will rehire outfielder Brett Gardner, according to a column by ESPN’s Buster Olney in the United States. The Yankees acquired right-hander Jameson Taillon from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
