Why: According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the Yankees have checked in on Odorozzi, a 27-year-old who went 10-8 with a 3.83 ERA in 28 starts for the Rays last year. He's set to become a free agent in 2020. So, he’s got two qualities for which the Yankees have hunted in a starting pitcher. He’s young-ish and controllable. The Yankees like that he gets strikeouts (8.2 K/9 career). He won’t break the bank, either. Last season, he made $4.1 million in his first year of arbitration and is taking the Rays to court since the sides haven’t come to an agreement yet.
