The New York Yankees are among four teams interested in acquiring right-handed starter Jameson Taillon from the Chicago Cubs, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported.
It is not surprising that the Yankees are interested in acquiring an arm before the deadline.
The team has been mediocre at best on the mound and, at worst, downright awful.
Starter Gerrit Cole, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, returned from elbow discomfort in June and has proceeded to accumulate an ERA of 5.40 while giving up nine home runs and 21 total earned runs.
