Jon Heyman On WFAN: With Darvish Off Market, Cobb ‘Most Likely’ Pitcher Yankees Will Sign

NEW YORK (WFAN) — The Yankees failed to land Yu Darvish in free agency. So now what?

WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman, also of FanRag Sports, joined “The Afternoon Drive” on Monday to answer that very question. If the Yankees add a starting pitcher, Heyman sees one clear front-runner: Alex Cobb.

“I think they will look at Cobb,” Heyman said. “I think they like Cobb. He’d be the guy probably, most likely.”

With the Tampa Bay Rays last season, Cobb, 30, was 12-10 with a 3.66 ERA.
