Sports Illustrated | Patrick McAvoy: The Yankees have an obvious need in the rotation, and while most eyes are on Yoshinobu Yamamoto and his imminent arrival to the States there is the rest of the class to consider. Most are likely bottom of the rotation filler, but there is another prominent name available — Blake Snell. Snell’s vividly familiar with the AL East from his time with the Rays, and the Padres starter is coming off a possible Cy Young season that should signal he’s still near the top of the game. Being on the wrong side of 30, however, it might be difficult for Snell to get a lengthy deal, which could bring him into the Yankees’ price range.
