The New York Yankees reportedly offered free agent starting pitcher Blake Snell a hefty contract in January but wound up signing Marcus Stroman. Despite not landing Snell after the initial offer, the Yankees are still interested in landing him, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
"The New York Yankees, who offered free-agent starter Blake Snell a five-year, $150 million contract before turning to Marcus Stroman last month, still have serious interest in him," Nightengale wrote. "They are waiting to see if his asking price drops on a long-term deal or if he agrees to take a short-term contract that could pay him in excess of $35 million a year.
